It's Christmastime, and all Dylan Taylor wants is an XR-7 limited edition speedster. However, his hopes are zapped when he discovers its extravagant price tag would overload the family budget. That is, until he hears that the two-wheeled titanium turbo bike is the grand prize of Odyssey's Christmas yard decorating contest! But Dylan's scheming neighbor, Doug, has other plans. And when he gets a glimpse of Doug's snow-sculpted, ten-foot tall twin T-Rexes towing a skiing Elvis amid a cluster of cut-out palm trees, Dylan switches his design from a humble manger scene to a super-charged, mega-watt wonderland. What follows is a powerful reminder that grounds them all in the true meaning of Christmas.

The Crossing (1994)

 

What is the most important thing in life?

That's the question Jason Reynolds and his classmates are assigned as a topic for speech class. But when Jason watches his best friend fight a life and death battle with leukemia, the question becomes far more than an academic endeavor. This powerful video dramatically presents the good news of the gospel in the context of the love that sent Christ to the cross. As Jason comes to grips with the realities of life and the consequences of sin, viewers are challenged to answer for themselves the question of life's ultimate priority. An excellent program for outreach events, for evangelistic invitations in your youth group or in homes, or to inspire believers to share their faith.

Every youth director needs this film in their ministry tool box. Honored as the best evangelistic film of the decade, it clearly convicts teenagers of their need for Christ. It also motivates them to share their faith with others, and reminds us all of Christ's deep love.

The Crossing has impacted tens of thousands of teenagers through salvation or rededication to Christ. Whether shown at a camp, large event, retreat, lock in or within a teenager's living room, The Crossing will bring the power of God's forgiveness into the heart of all who see it.
