Sharie discusses the identity of the author of Acts and how scholars came to this conclusion.

Sharie's son, Jacob King, an 18 year old recent high school graduate, talks about identity in Christ. With so many students and adults struggling to know who they really are, Jacob preached a strong message on finding our identity in Christ and not just in labels, work, performance and success. Rooted in scripture, he pointed out these simple but powerful truths:

Our identity is found in Jesus. Our purpose is found in our identity. Our ultimate purpose is to glorify God and to make Him known.

On the final night of Crossroads Summer Camp 2021, Clayton preached a message called “How To Outlive Your Life.” He shared the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr who boldly lived for Christ right up to the point of his death. He also told the story of a man from India who converted to faith in Jesus and then watched his family suffer severe persecution for their faith, and how God used their faithfulness to bring some of the persecutors to faith in Christ. We saw hundreds of students and adults respond to a call to ministry after this message.

Marquise Cox is a young adult pastor in San Antonio Texas and a Clayton King Ministries speaker. At Crossroads Summer Camps 2021, he preached a message called “Turn on the light," challenging the audience to shine the light on their junk, sin, and secrets in order to experience Jesus' healing. Just because our sins are hidden doesn’t mean they aren’t there, they aren’t heavy, and that we have dealt with them. (Psalm 32:3-5 and James 5:16).

Whitney Sullivan is a professional communicator for WLTX-TV in Columbia, SC, and an inspired communicator for Jesus. In this podcast, Whitney preaches on how we can fight unhealthy comparison, and I was incredibly challenged and inspired. Here's my favorite quote: “Don’t let your food get cold staring at someone else’s plate. Don’t lose focus on what the Lord wants to do in your life because you’re focusing on someone else’s.” 

In this podcast, Sharie's son, Jacob King who is an freshman in college, preaches a message about living a life of faith in a culture that often makes faith seem difficult. He helps define what faith actually is from scripture, and then gives practical ways to put faith into practice in our everyday lives. My favorite quote from Jacob’s message was, “Faith is believing in the God who has already won.” 

This podcast is a message by Sharie King from Crossroads Summer Camp 2021 called, How Knowing Jesus Changes Everything. Very often a relationship with Jesus is sold as a free gift which secures eternal life in heaven. But, our relationship with Christ, while it is a gift from God, it was not free. Our salvation not only required Jesus to sacrifice his life for us, but it also challenges us to “take up our cross and follow him.” Sharie teaches on what it means to take up our cross, and how Jesus changes everything.

Clayton's clarifies the meaning of salvation by telling the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. He explains why Jesus waited several days to visit Lazarus after he discovered he was sick. The raising of Lazarus was the 7th miraculous sign recorded in John’s gospel, and proves that Jesus was the Messiah. Hundreds responded to this message of salvation each week of summer camp.
