It's Complicated (S1) : WK1-THU
February 27, 2025
In this series, we’ll touch on themes of mental health, questions of faith, spiritual disciplines, friendship, risk, and more as we address some of the nuances of our faith that lie in the grey areas of understanding ourselves, and God a little better. We’ll recognize that though life isn’t black and white, and there are always more than two sides to every story and person, God continues to meet us where we are right now with His grace. When we lean on and depend on that grace, it helps us grow more and more into the people God sees when he looks at us. But even with this growth, it’s important to recognize that we still have our scars, we still have our struggles and weaknesses, our good moments and our bad ones, and we will always need Jesus as we navigate the complicated nature of this life.

Belonging - Day 41
February 14, 2025 • Mark
Belonging is one of the three core values of Crosswalk Church, along with experience and momentum. But "belonging", we always say first. The reason we do that is because it's important to Crosswalk that we always be a community of belonging. What does that mean? It means is that no matter where you're from, what you've done, no matter what you look like, you belong here. Period. We become the people of God more profoundly when we're together. And yes, when we're together with people we don't always agree with, which I understand is hard. But we have the opportunity to create a different kind of world when we're in the presence of God. And so belonging is really important. It doesn't have to be beautiful. In fact, it probably won't be. We'll make mistakes along the way. People will get hurt. We'll apologize. And most importantly, we'll heal together. If we don't do those things, are we really fulfilling the call that God has given us to love our brothers and sisters, to love others as you would have them love you. So if you come to a crosswalk, chances are you may see somebody you don't like. You may see somebody who doesn't like you. You may see somebody who disagrees with your ideologies or your politics. You may see somebody who doesn't look like you, doesn't eat the same food as you, and sometimes doesn't even speak the same language that you do. But we are all the same. We are sinners. We stand before a loving and forgiving God. We worship Him for what it is that He has done for us. And we continue the hard work of belonging. In this series, we're going to talk about stories of healing that Jesus has for us throughout Scripture. And as we do that, we are going to learn what it means to be healed, forgiven, restored, and brought back into a community of belonging. So if you're listening to this, I want you to go and find a crosswalk church close to you and know that when you get there, you belong.
