Ask. Seek. Knock. 51:36

6h ago51:36

51:36

This exploration of Jesus' teaching on prayer challenges us to move beyond the vending machine approach to spirituality. When Jesus says 'ask, seek, knock,' we often hear a transactional promise—do this, get that. But the deeper translation reveals something more profound: 'keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking.' Prayer isn't a one-time…

Pigs and Pearls 58:16

Where do you cast your "pearls"? In this teaching, we remember that we holy and beloved, invited to do all the good that we can with all that we are. Supporting CrossWalk supports doing much good in the world on many levels. Will you consider supporting CrossWalk with greater generosity than you are currently?…

No Judgment. Just Love. 37:14

14d ago37:14

37:14

Jesus instructed his followers not to judge others. How's that going for you? In this teaching we examine the difference between judging and offering constructive criticism and the messiness every human being brings to the equation.Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Beyond Worry 20:16

28d ago20:16

20:16

In our exploration of worry, we discover that it's not inherently bad - it can motivate us and protect us. However, Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 to 'seek first the kingdom of God' instead of worrying about our daily needs. This isn't a call to ignore real-world concerns, but rather an invitation to ground ourselves in a deeper reality. The kingdom…

Welcoming the Stranger 28:49

1M ago28:49

28:49

In this powerful message offered by Rev. Dr. Angela Barker-Jackson, we're invited to explore the profound concept of welcoming strangers, rooted in Leviticus 19:34. This scripture challenges us to treat strangers as natives and love them as ourselves, reminding us of our own history as strangers. The sermon beautifully connects this ancient text to…

Lasting Treasure 42:25

2M ago42:25

42:25

Consumerism can be exhilarating, but it can also leave us in a perpetual state of never feeling satisfied, in competition with our neighbors, and a little light in our wallet. The Way of Jesus, however, does the opposite, yielding a rewarding life filled with the fruit of the Spirit of God that never runs out. Choose the Way!…

Delvier Us from Evil 49:27

2M ago49:27

49:27

This part of the Lord's Prayer seems quite obvious, right? It's airy out to God to come rescue us from the evil that terrorizes us. Well, no. The Aramaic language and Eastern culture of Jesus indicate a different, much more relevant interpretation.Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Tempting 41:14

2M ago41:14

41:14

Temptation is a fact of life. How we think about it makes all the difference. Jesus' temptation story provides a framework for understanding categories of temptation and healthy ways to respond.Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

As We Forgive 58:24

2M ago58:24

Forgiving someone who has wronged us is hard work. Not popular. Not fair. Not just. So why are we supposed to do this again?Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Forgive Us 48:22

3M ago48:22

48:22

Jesus taught his disciples to ask God to forgive our debts, trespasses, sins, and more. Easier said than done when done sincerely. Asking for forgiveness implies awareness of our need for forgiveness. That's when things get difficult for us...Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Daily Bread 31:22

3M ago31:22

31:22

Being aware and grateful for our planet's capacity to provide food, and all the hands involved from planting all the way to our meal will help you live in deeper awe and gratitude. Discovering that the Aramaic word for bread is the same as for understanding and wisdom, this line of the prayer takes on new meaning. The Divine Feminine Wisdom is one …

On Earth as it is in Heaven 59:54

3M ago59:54

59:54

Building on the passionate invitation, Thy Kingdom come, the second half of the second line of the Lord's Prayer follows suit, seeking to be fully aligned with the Divine. The more that happens, the more we find ourselves naturally living in response to the winds of the Spirit of God, and less in the way of what Love is trying to build in the world…

Thy Kingdom Come Like Hallelujah 48:40

3M ago48:40

It turns out that the second line of the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic requires an entirely different tone than most of us have been advised. WAY different tone. Can we handle it?Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

When You Pray 44:26

4M ago44:26

44:26

Prayer is complicated and simple all at the same time. The goal? Also complicated. Sometimes we treat God like our personal genie who exists to grant our wishes, or a Divine Super-sized Santa to deliver goodies because we've been so good. Perhaps the greater goal though is simply finding ourselves in the Presence of God where we find all our needs …

Love Our Enemies 18:25

18:25

Most Christians know Jesus said to do this. Most Christians I know wish he hadn't. Most Christians I know struggle with this. Maybe it's more of a heart thing than a mind thing - maybe we can't think our way to it but have to love our way through it.Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Overcoming Evil 36:55

6M ago36:55

36:55

Jesus told his follows to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give the shirt off your back. From our vantage point, this sounds like instruction on how to be a nice person. To the original audience however, it was coaching on nonviolent resistance.Kirjoittanut CrossWalk Community Church Napa

Nonresistance? 43:36

Truthfulness 41:08

Jesus made it simple - "let your yes be yes and your no be no" - which is good, wise advice for living with integrity. Yet his wisdom leads to deeper principles that cause us to reflect on how we use our words. Very relevant for this time and all time. This teaching is part of a year-long series on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, informed by excellent …

Blessed 30:45

10M ago30:45

Jesus didn't know what he was talking about. He got the word "blessed" all wrong. Maybe it was a brain fog moment - he meant to say "lousy" or "miserable" are the poor, mourning, humble, and persecuted. Or... Maybe he was speaking a truth we in the modern Western world know little about. Maybe we have much to learn about what he taught and modeled …

Foolish Wisdom 42:28

Starting with the "Blessed are the" statements at the beginning Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, and running all the way through, there are statements that simply don't jibe with conventional thinking.
