Best episodes of Crossway Pond Sermon Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

At The Feet of Jesus in Faith

A steady sermon about slowing down and making space to be with Jesus.

This sermon uses a hot New England summer to ask a simple question: how are people spending their days, and can they slow down enough to be with Jesus?

Out of the Depths

A measured sermon that turns Jeremiah's gate-side suspicion into a steady call to trust God.

The episode opens in church-life greetings and then settles into Jeremiah in Jerusalem, with Babylonian pressure, retreating enemies, and a guarded city shaping the message.

Jeremiah’s Deliberate Act of Hope

A sermon on hope that treats belief as something practiced through deliberate choices.

Jeremiah's deliberate act of hope is framed as a refusal to let exile and the bleakest chapter of the people's story have the final word. Dave Ripper presents hope as more than wishful thinking: it is something chosen, rehearsed in the mind, and strengthened through ordinary…

Practicing Presence

A steady sermon on God's nearness, from Genesis to everyday life.

Crossway Christian Church's sermon podcast centers on practicing God's presence in ordinary life. It traces that nearness from Genesis through the tabernacle, temple, the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus, and the promised advocate, then closes with a clear call to stay aware of God in…

Anointing Jesus’ Feet in Love

A gentle sermon on serving from love, not for it.

The sermon frames the Bethany dinner scene as a quiet case for serving from love, not for it. Lazarus, Martha, and Mary are used to show how Jesus reorders duty, devotion, and worth, and the opening nod to church construction and generosity gives the message a grounded start…

Eternity is Now in Session

A warm sermon on knowing Jesus as present life, not future theory.

Dave Ripper starts with parking, Donut Sunday, and the plain routines of church life before moving to John 17:3 and the idea that eternal life is not only a later promise.

The Challenge of Jeremiah

A sermon on Scripture and Israel's kings that presses the case for obedience to God's word.

This sermon keeps Scripture at the center of daily life and follows Israel's story from Joshua 1:8 through the judges, Saul, David, Solomon, and the split that follows Solomon.

Ezekiel's Vision

A steady sermon that turns exile, rebuilding, and faithfulness into practical hope.

Ezekiel's Vision treats exile as a hard chapter, not the ending. Dave Ripper places Ezekiel in Babylon, a place that is not home, and uses that setting to reflect on disappointment, belonging, purpose, and the call to stay faithful when life has turned another way.
