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.

The Cross

CrossWalk Community Church Napa ·

2024/03/17

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 for grace under pressure, consistent with the message Jesus lived and taught throughout his ministry. Perhaps the earlier message might woo people back to

Toward Shalom, With Shalom, For Shalom

CrossWalk Community Church Napa ·

2024/03/03

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 parts of our past can be transformed into something meaningful in our lives - the gnashing teeth of the monster in our memory can be pacified. It's work,

Refreshing Creation

CrossWalk Community Church Napa ·

2024/02/19

Jesus had his mind blown during his baptism, which sent him into the wilderness to sort out who he was, who he wanted to be, and what he wanted to be about. The temptations toward ego were strong, but he chose for God's shalom instead. When he came out of his time away, he essentially invited any and all others to do the same.

Fresh Church

2024/02/11

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 them to think bigger than themselves. Their view from the mountaintop above cast the vision for the valley below. What valley are you going through? What

Green and Growing Prayer

How do we develop a faith that yields genuine compassion and not just inner peace? While daily practices surely help such development, perhaps it's the work we don't necessarily want to do that will transform us more into the form of Jesus.

Welcome to the first teaching in the new series, Simplicity, Spirituality, and Service, loosely based on Bruce Epperly's latest book by the same name.

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 faith?

The Natural, Unexpected Fruit of Gratitude: Politcs...

CrossWalk Community Church Napa ·

2023/11/26

The natural response when filled with gratitude is to be gracious and giving toward others, to become more interested in others' well-being. When communities work together for the wellbeing of others, this necessarily becomes political, as shalom calls faithful communities to ensure shalom's development for everything, everyone, everywhere.
