Our Unforming: No Body Now But Yours

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/06/22

What if your body was more than something you have—what if it’s who you are? In this week’s teaching, we explore the ancient story of Elijah through a different lens: embodiment. Together we consider how faith becomes real not just in what we believe, but in what we feel, touch, remember, and experience in our bodies. Because, what if showing up in your body was one of the most sacred things you could do?

Our Unforming: What are You Doing Here?

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/06/16

What if your faith journey isn’t a linear path of constant growth—but a circle of unlearning, undoing, and rediscovery? This week, we reflect on Elijah’s encounter with God in the silence, explore the harm of hustle-culture spirituality, and consider how non-Western and Indigenous traditions can help us reimagine spiritual formation. Inspired by Our Unforming by Cindy S. Lee, we ask the unsettling but freeing question: What are you doing here?

Hearing Shalom in Our Own Language (Pentacost)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/06/08

How can we become better listeners? What if the church's primary role is to translate shalom - peace, wholeness, well-being - into the home languages of all people? How can we avoid using our words to dominate and instead use them to heal?

Solidarity (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/06/01

After This... (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/05/25

The healing of the man by the pool in John 5 isn’t as easy and straight forward as it seems. It does, however, force us to ask questions about what happens when things change in our lives. What does it mean to get up, take our mats, walk, and look back on the way things used to be?

Shalom (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/05/18

How can we better live into the narrative arc of Scripture? How can we recapture the goodness of creation? How can we seek the expansiveness of a progressive love? What would it look like to make Earth look a little bit more like heaven?

Sheep and Citizens (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/05/11

What does it look like to view God as Shepherd and King in our lives? In what ways should we follow the voice of the Shepherd in our lives, politically and spiritually? How can we live more as citizens of an heavenly alternative here and now? What would it look like if we actually followed the teachings of Jesus, regardless of the cost?

After These Things... (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/05/04

This Easter season, what would it look like for our faith to be completely new, not just a dressed up version of what we received? What if we are exactly where we are supposed to be, and God is still with us? What would it look like for us to embrace a new calling and not return to business as usual?

Easter, Doubt, and Belonging (Eastertide)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/04/27

The season of Easter continues on, and so do peoples varied experiences of faith, Jesus, and resurrection. Was Jesus trying to prove something to Thomas or was he trying to make a statement about belief and belonging?

When Found Finds You (Easter)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/04/20

On Easter morning we tend to focus on the way showing up early for Jesus will lead us to a new and resurrected life. But that’s not actually what happened for Mary Magdalene on the first Easter morning. She didn’t ultimately find what she went looking for, something found her.

The Death of Expectations (Palm Sunday)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/04/13

What do we long for? What are our expectations of God? And what would it mean to have those expectations frustrated? How can we allow our bad versions of religion and faith—even those that have served us well in the past—die, so that something new can emerge?

The Smells of Life and Death (Lent)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/04/06

All the stories that led to the table at Bethany in John 12 contribute to emotional potency of a beautiful aroma that filled a house in the face of death. Even when told it's all a waste, may we recognize the ways our lives add to beautiful and healing moments such as these.

What Mother Hens Can and Can’t do in Regards to Foxes...

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/03/16

Molly’s second annual “bird teaching” explored Luke 13:31-15 where Jesus identifies as a mother hen. While this is intended to be a warm and comforting metaphor, the implications of what a mother hen can’t do in the face of dangerous foxes is important to consider.

Wilderness Faith (Lent)

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/03/09

Lent is a season to contemplate our mortality and the fragility of our ideals and faith. It is a time to be in the Wilderness. Do we have a faith equipped for the disorientation of Lent and Wilderness times? How can we move from scarcity to trust in abundance? How can we be moved to worship a weak, powerless God who denies dominating power and instead allows divine power to be put to death on a Cross? How can we embrace the uncertainties and ambiguities of life as a part of faith?

A World Without Enemies (Ordinary Time)

Crossings Knoxville ·

What would it look like if we took Jesus' teaching to love our enemies seriously? Is this practical or ethical in every situation?

What common ground can we find to see the image of God in all people?Here is a link to the Heineken ad that was shown during the teaching: Worlds Apart

Ready for Another Level (Ordinary Time)

Crossings Knoxville ·

4,000 Weeks (Common Time) - Cheesecake Sunday

Crossings Knoxville ·

2025/02/09

On our 18th birthday as a faith community, we wondered together how God might be inviting us to push out into the deep end. To go places only gods were known to go. And to learn to find our place in the family of things with however many weeks we have left together.
