Perhaps the vision of the Second Coming of Christ in the traditional sense can no longer be taken literally or seriously. There may be a better version hidden in plain sight that squares better with the Jewish Jesus, history, and our collective experience. Caution: heresy ahead!Oleh CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Despite what you have ben told, while God does love you, God does not have a plan for your life. God does love you, but has more of a vision or a dream of what life can be. Not one way, but a broad range of ways that are guided by the shalom of God. And, great news! God supports you and I toward this vision even if we veer off course.…

In the conclusion of this series, we look at what living the faith looks like in one frame. We are invited to follow Jesus, whereby saying yes means we will actually try to follow Jesus in order to experience the life and faith he enjoyed. This involves stretching our minds (lifelong learning), kneeling in service to others, standing for grace and …

Jesus went back to his hometown and was rendered essentially powerless by the unbelief of people who were not willing to see him for more than he had been. This passage offers us a moment to learn about the process of transformation, so that we continue to grow in faith and not be the ones limiting the flow of the Spirit of God. This story also inv…

Any of the titles we ascribe to God or Jesus both liberate and limit. Lord is both wonderful and problematic, helpful in some ways and restrictive in others. But what if the Lord's Kingdom has been misrepresented to us? What if our vision has been overly influenced by our conquering past and world-dominating Super Power present (hint: it has). This…

History changed the understanding of savior into an otherworldly superhero who came to save the day and will come again to do it again a final time. Too bad that's not how Jesus - or his original audience - wanted to be known. Imagine how history would have unfolded differently if the actual rendering of the word savior as healer would have dominat…

In this teaching, informed by the book, Freeing Jesus, by Diana Butler Bass, we take a look at Jesus as a friend. Note: the whole service was about friendship, including a game of Name That Tune, a short film and meditation based on friendship, and the teaching. If you'd like to watch it, go to our Live videos and check out 2024-04-07.…

Sometimes we don't experience the full impact of the story because we constantly break it up into smaller chunks. This week, enjoy hearing Mark's version of the full story of Jesus' last week of life with some breaks for reflection, a meditation, and some music from Mark 11, 14 and 15.Oleh CrossWalk Community Church Napa

The version of the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for sin is well known and has been effective in causing many to join the Christian faith. Yet there are aspects that are deeply problematic - so much so that many are leaving the faith because of ithem. The earliest understanding of the cross didn't see it as a means of forgiveness, but as a model fo…

God - however we understand who and/or what God is - is all about the Hebrew concept of shalom. Deep peace, well-being, wholeness are some words in English that don't quite capture it. And then there's the beautiful mind-bender part of shalom that somehow brings together seeming opposites. When we embrace this fully, we discover that the most awful…

While mysticism born from meditation, contemplation, and other spiritual disciplines always affects more than just the devotee, we need to be reminded that all of the great voices and leaders who advanced shalom in the world gave themselves to the service of others or causes greater than themselves. What they experienced of the divine compelled the…

Why didn't the folks of Bedford Falls come after George with torches and pitchforks once the arrest warrant was issued? Why did Luke want to draw our attention to Mary, the cave-barn, and the shepherds in the field the night Jesus was born? How was Jesus informed by his own birth narrative? What does this mean for how we live our lives as people of…
