Crosswalk Sermons - Portland

Solomon Any kingdom led by man is going to be broken.

The need for community when discerning truth. This week we explore a story from the early church to see what all is needed to help discern truth, things like community, God's Word, the Holy Spirit, and continued humility.

This week we explore how truth becomes a weapon, and how to return back to humility instead of certainty, learning to trust in God, in order to put ego aside and love others as He loves us.

This week, Pastor Paddy explores three different stories to see what happens when truth gets personal.

Do you believe what Jesus said? For this Campus Day, Joyce Newmyer takes us on a journey of whether or not we believe that Jesus' sacrifice for us was enough, or if there is some level of performance or perfection required.

Our special Easter Worship brought us to and through Calvary, teaching us that no matter what we're going through in this life, if that tomb was really empty Sunday morning, then everything is going to be ok. And we believe that tomb was...EMPTY! He is risen!

This week, we journey with Jesus and his disciples into and through the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus reverses the curse from the Garden of Eden and battles all the forces of darkness as he feels separation from the Father and Spirit for the first time. He battles and endures...for us.

This week, Pastor Paddy walks us through Mark 11 as Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, enters the temple, curses a fig tree, cleanses the temple, and speaks with the religious leaders. Every step he takes is one step closer to the cross, but he continues to teach them who he is, and what the kingdom of God is all about.

Mark 10 - The Greatness We Can't Grasp: This week, Pastor Paddy helps us continue our journey with Jesus as he turns towards Jerusalem, on his way to Calvary. The disciples will argue over thrones, Jesus will teach them what the kingdom of God really is by using a towel, for the kingdom of God turns the empires of man upside down and inside out.

The Glory We Can't Hold Onto: This week we explore Mark 9 as Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain and is transfigured, standing with their heroes of the faith, Moses and Elijah. Then, they come back down the mountain to drama and everyday life. Explore how we, like Jesus, can have our light shine in the darkness of this world.

This week, Pastor Paddy explores the question Jesus posed to the disciples in Matthew 16, "But what about you, who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, but he didn't realize the full picture. This message bridges our last series, Learning to Lovewell, with our next, The Beautiful Upset, that leads us to Easter.

Pastor Paddy McCoy talks about how Crosswalk will be a community that lives beyond herself to care and advocate for the powerless, the oppressed, and the abandoned.

Crosswalk will be a community that is relevant in living out the ways Of Jesus in our time and Place.

This week, Pastor Paddy challenges us to learn to see the image of God in people again by taking refuge in the love of God, and doing that by learning to practice the presence of God. None of us will ever be experts, but daily learners/disciples, doing our best to reach out for Jesus and hold on, wherever He leads.

A community of belonging: seeing is belonging: listen this week as Pastor Paddy teaches from Genesis 3 about the God who see's us, and loves us, and calls us to do the same for all the image-bearers of God.

As we begin this new sermon series on the mission and vision of our Crosswalk community, listen as Pastor Andreas introduces the series and reminds us of who we were created by and what we were created for - love - with a challenge for us to open our arms up to love more, to Lovewell.
