Psalm 34:1-22 - This message on Psalm 34 explores what it means to truly trust God, not just in moments of ease but in seasons of uncertainty, fear, and waiting. Trust is shown not only through belief but through surrender—choosing God's way even when outcomes are unclear. A life of trust becomes a “song,” reflecting confidence in God's character, faithfulness, and control.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we talk about the weight of a long winter, both in the world around us and in our spiritual lives. Seasons of waiting, dryness, and discouragement can make it feel like renewal will never come. But God is always at work beneath the surface, even when growth isn't yet visible. Join us as we reflect on how faith sustains us through long seasons and how hope reminds us that spring always comes in God's timing. This week, Pastor Craig Cooper is joined by fellow Crosswinds Pastor and co-host Elijah Merrill.Visit us online: crosswinds.church

Psalm 22:1-31 - The message on Psalm 22, reflects on how sorrow, suffering, and lament are real parts of the human experience and the Christian life. Scripture shows that God meets people in their pain and uses suffering to shape endurance, character, and hope in Christ. Because Jesus entered human suffering and carried it to the cross, believers can bring their sorrow honestly to God and find hope and transformation through Him.

- This message, rooted in Psalm 118, explores why thankfulness should be the natural response of a believer—not just on special occasions, but every day of life. Ultimately, our song of thanks flows from remembering His deliverance, trusting His steadfast love, and fixing our hearts firmly on Jesus, the cornerstone.

Acts 19:1-10 - This message recaps the final week of the All Hands on Deck series, using Acts 19 where Paul finds disciples in Ephesus, equips them with the fullness of the gospel, and builds a movement that spreads the Word throughout Asia in two years.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 - This message challenges believers to engage their community with creative communication rooted in the gospel, modeled after the apostle Paul's approach in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, where he becomes “all things to all people” to win some for Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27 - The message underscores the biblical truth that Christian community matters, because believers are designed to function together as one body in Christ, not in isolation.
