Psalm 31:1-24 - The message explores the spiritual practice of surrender—trusting God even when circumstances are uncertain or painful. Psalm 31 demonstrates David's willingness to place his life completely in God's hands despite fear, enemies, and distress. True surrender is not passive resignation but an active trust that God is faithful and in control.

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.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we talk honestly about the weight of grief and the hope that can still be found in the midst of it. Through a Christian perspective, we explore how God meets us in our sorrow, why lament is an important part of faith, and how the presence of Christ brings comfort even in the darkest seasons. This week, Pastor Craig Cooper is joined by fellow Crosswinds Pastor and co-host Elijah Merrill.Visit us online: crosswinds.church

- 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.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, Craig Cooper and Elijah Merrill jump into chapter 1 of Keith Drury's book, Common Ground: What All Christians Believe and Why It Matters. Through reading Keith's book, we unpack the Apostles Creed and explore the shared beliefs that have united Christians across traditions for generations, and why those core truths are foundational for everyday faith. Whether you're new to faith or you've been a believer for many years, let's discover the common ground we stand on together! This week, Pastor Craig and Pastor Elijah are joined by fellow Crosswinds Pastors, Betty Ryan and Dave Wright!Visit us online: crosswinds.church

This is all the people whose lives you've touched transmitting. Greg, if you copy, hold the frequency. It feels like absence, like space where a voice once was. Signals do not disappear. They continue. And what a person builds on air in wire in people does not simply stop. You never lived by the rule that comfort equals peace. You lived by the rule that comfort is the first thing to question. You believed headwinds are not personal. Crosswinds are not unfair. And lee winds — that sudden drop, that shaking frame — are not a sign to quit. They are a test of trim. You adjust. You steady. You climb. You believed complacency is the real danger. Not risk. Not boldness. Not standing out. Complacency. The quiet drift downward when we stop paying attention to lift. You believed connection matters. If you can reach someone reach them. Build the antenna. Make the call. Transmit while you can. You didn't just build antennas. You built reach. From Mobile One to a garage that hummed again because purpose does not retire, you proved that usefulness is not seasonal. If your hands still work build. If your mind still sparks design. If your voice still carries speak. Unapologetically. You believed fitting in is vastly overrated. So you didn't. You never entered quietly, not rooms, not conversations, not lives. Joy first. Volume second. Standing on your toes as if the ground were optional. You ruffled feathers. You challenged comfort. You made rooms adjust to you instead of shrinking to fit them. And yes not everyone understood you at first. But you never measured yourself by first impressions. You measured yourself by whether you were real. You believed people are more than the worst thing they've done. So you forgave early. You forgave often. You saw past the noise to the signal underneath. And that belief changed people. And made the world a better place You wrote poetry like you flew — direct, deliberate, aware. Warning of sleeping dragons. Warning of drift. Reminding us that lift is earned by those who stay awake. You believed joy is not indulgent. It is oxygen. That laughter is not noise. It is energy. That love is not soft. It is structural. And so very necessary in this world You believed life is not meant to be lived carefully around the edges. It is meant to be entered fully. Fully loud. Fully flawed. Fully alive. Unapologetically And here is what you leave us — Not just memory. Not just stories. A mandate; A way to live, A way to love, A way to give, That keeps your memory alive Do not live small. Do not lower your voice just because the room is timid. Do not mistake comfort for safety. When the air drops — trim. When the frame shakes — hold. When the rotor hits — climb. Headwinds are not personal. Crosswinds are not unfair. Lee winds will shake you. But lift is still there. Always there. If we pay attention. If we stay awake. If we refuse complacency. If we live wide instead of careful. If we love before we are certain. If we build something that reaches beyond us. If we forgive without score, If we give from our hearts when we can, If we transmit what matters, We too can make the world a better place. Then your signal does not fade. It strengthens. It is amplified. It hums in the way we show up. It hums in the way we speak truth. It hums in the way we stand taller, even when the air feels thin. And one day, when someone asks why we refused to shrink, why we dared to live louder, why we chose joy over fear — We will say: Because we knew a man who would not live half-life. A man who climbed when the air fell away. A man who taught us that lift is always there, if you're willing to rise into it. Explorer-hearted. Unfiltered flame. Generous spirit. Greg — you mattered. This is all the people whose lives you've touched here. Signal strong. Altitude rising. Bandwidth wide. We are not descending. We are climbing. We rise in lifting others. Final 7-3 VK4BBX, Clear.

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. It challenges believers to know the church's mission and to live out their faith with intentional disciple-making, not just religious attendance.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we explore what it means to keep walking faithfully when growth feels slow, seasons feel long, and the finish line seems far away. Together, we'll reflect on how God's grace sustains us, as we take one obedient step in His direction at a time.

The construction phase of wind projects can be fraught with time, cost and quality issues. In this episode, we speak with two industry insiders about some of the common pinch points in the construction of a wind project and explore steps that help minimise the likelihood of contractor/developer disputes occurring. Ashurst’s Michael Weatherley is joined by two special guests to discuss construction risks in wind projects, including how they can best be anticipated and mitigated to avoid or manage disputes between developers and contractors. George Fisher is a senior contentious construction solicitor at SSE Renewables and Kia Hua Tan is a senior legal counsel at Seatrium Limited. The trio considers the unique nuances and curve balls that can hamper wind projects, including tight margins and split procurements driving complex interface risks. As the discussion makes clear, careful and precise planning is required to allow for things like extreme weather, vessel availability and rising offshore logistics costs. On cost volatility, both our guests stress the importance of clarity in fixed-price contracts and price escalation mechanisms to avoid surprises later on. They also flag quality issues across package boundaries, suggesting that these require detailed interface matrices and harmonised dispute provisions to avoid protracted blame games between contractors.

In this episode of Crosswinds Unleashed, we talk about what it really means to live from our identity as who God says we are, rather than from the way the world defines us. When our identity is rooted in being loved, chosen, and redeemed, obedience becomes a response to grace and not a desperate attempt to earn it. Join us as we unpack how understanding our identity in Christ brings freedom, confidence, and a whole new way to walk through everyday life.

John 1:1-3 - The sermon proclaims that “the Word” in John 1 — the Logos — is not an impersonal force but the eternal, divine, personal agent through whom all creation came into being. It asserts that Jesus (the Logos) predates creation, sustains all life, and brings light and purpose to humanity.

Exodus 20:1-21 - This message addresses the age-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Suffering and hardship are not always a result of personal sin — but often a byproduct of living in a fallen world, spiritual warfare, the refining work of God, or simply the mystery of His sovereign plans. Like Job, Christians are called to respond not with anger or despair, but with worship, trust, perseverance, and reliance on God.

Luke 14:25-33 - In this message we are invited to reframe what “budget” means in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ: it's not just about money, but about giving of our time, talents, priorities and resources in such a way that follows His economy. We are challenged to count the cost, allocate wisely, and trust that when we surrender, God supplies more than we think.

Jonah 4:5-11 - This message reminds us that God's grace is often scandalous to us because He gives it freely to those we think are undeserving — including us. Like Jonah, we can become angry when God's mercy doesn't align with our sense of justice or comfort. God lovingly appoints both blessings and hardships to shape our hearts toward His mission: to show grace to a broken world.
