    Episode 7 - Week 10 - Ephesians 1-6

    Together in the Word | Ephesians 1-6: Living as Children of Light and Pursuing Unity What does it really mean to live as a new creation in Christ? And how can we know God’s will and live in a way that reflects who we are in Him? In this episode of Together in the Word, a podcast from Crosspoint Church, Lead Pastor Jeremy Smith is joined by Savannah White, Associate Student Minister at the Niceville Campus, to dive into Ephesians and explore what it means to live out our identity in Christ. Together, they unpack the message of Ephesians, exploring how Paul moves from explaining what God has done through Jesus to showing us how that truth should transform the way we live. They discuss what it means to move from darkness to light, discover what pleases the Lord, and understand His will through a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Along the way, Jeremy and Savannah discuss some of the most powerful passages in Ephesians, including the reminder in Ephesians 5:8 to live as children of light, the call to be filled with the Spirit, and the importance of submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. They also explore how the gospel transforms our relationships, creates unity within the church, and equips us to stand firm through the armor of God. Ultimately, the conversation points to a powerful truth: Because of Jesus, we are no longer who we once were. We don't have to return to our old ways of living. We are called to remember the gospel daily, walk in the light, pursue unity, and make the most of every opportunity to reflect Christ to the world around us. Join us as we discover how God’s Word points us to Jesus and what it means to live it out as disciple-makers.

    Episode 6 - Week 9 - Galatians 1-6

    Together in the Word | Galatians 1–6: The Gospel of Grace and the Freedom We Have in Jesus What does it really mean to be saved by faith in Jesus? And how do we avoid adding to the gospel by believing we have to earn God’s love or prove our worth? In this episode of Together in the Word, a podcast from Crosspoint Church, Lead Pastor Jeremy Smith is joined by Pastor Talyn Saul to dive into Galatians 1–6 and explore Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel: we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, not by our own efforts or by following the law. Together, they unpack the historical and cultural background of Paul’s letter, explaining why the early Christians in Galatia were being pressured to follow Old Testament laws, including circumcision, to be considered part of God’s family. They explore how God’s promise to Abraham points to Jesus, why the law served its purpose, and how Christ fulfilled what we could never accomplish on our own. Along the way, Jeremy and Talyn discuss some of the most powerful passages in Galatians, including Paul’s confrontation with Peter and the reminder in Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” They also explore how the Holy Spirit transforms us and produces fruit in our lives as we learn to walk in step with Him. Ultimately, the conversation points to a powerful truth: The gospel is Jesus, period. We don’t have to earn God’s love or add to what Christ has already accomplished. We receive His grace through faith, and that faith transforms how we live and how we love others. Join us as we discover how God’s Word points us to Jesus and what it means to live it out as disciple-makers.

    Episode 5 - Week 8 - Romans 11-16

    Together in the Word | Romans 11–16: Living Out Our Faith and Navigating Government AuthorityWhat does it really look like to live out our faith? And how should Christians respond when governing authorities act in ways that conflict with God's will? In this episode of Together in the Word, a podcast from Crosspoint Church, Lead Pastor Jeremy Smith and Bluewater Bay Campus Pastor Billy Russell dive into Romans 11–16, where Paul shifts from explaining what Christians believe to showing us how those beliefs should transform the way we live. Together, they explore what it means to be a living sacrifice, how renewing our minds helps us discover God's will, and why sincere love should define our relationships with others. They also tackle one of the more challenging passages in Romans 13: What does it mean to submit to governing authorities, especially when those authorities act unjustly or oppose God's commands? Along the way, Jeremy and Billy discuss the tension between respecting earthly authority and remaining faithful to our ultimate allegiance to Jesus, using examples from history and Scripture to explore how Christians can respond to injustice without compromising their faith. Ultimately, the conversation points to a powerful truth: Following Jesus means more than believing the right things. It means living them out through love, humility, and obedience to God. We're called to overcome evil with good, live at peace whenever possible, and love others in a way that reflects the life of Christ. Join us as we discover how God's Word points us to Jesus and what it means to live it out as disciple-makers.

    Bonus Episode - Matthew 24:1-35 - Jesus predicts the end of the world

    Together in the Word | Matthew 24:1–35: Understanding the End Times (Bonus Episode)What did Jesus really mean when He talked about the end of the age? Was He predicting the destruction of Jerusalem, His second coming, or both? In this bonus episode of Together in the Word, a podcast from Crosspoint Church, Lead Pastor Jeremy Smith and Bluewater Bay Associate Campus Pastor Meredith Aylward-Jordan tackle one of the most challenging passages in the Bible: Matthew 24:1–35. Together, they explore Jesus' predictions about the destruction of the temple, the signs of the end times, and what His words meant for the first disciples and for us today. Along the way, they unpack the historical destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, the "already but not yet" nature of God's Kingdom, different interpretations of end-times prophecy, and what Jesus meant when He said, "This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened." Ultimately, the conversation points to a powerful truth: Jesus didn't give us these warnings to make us fearful about the future, but to prepare us to remain faithful no matter what comes. Rather than obsessing over timelines or living in fear, we're called to stand firm, trust His unshakable Word, and share the gospel with the world. Join us as we discover how God's Word points us to Jesus and what it means to live it out as disciple-makers.
