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.

In this episode, Pastors Andreas Beccai and Paddy McCoy talk about the Crosswalk movement and how God is continuing to use this movement to bring more and more people to the table. Pastor Paddy also talks about the loneliness epidemic and how to fight it.

This Campus Day, Pastor Paddy looks at what it means to live BEHOLDING Jesus, exploring how to live in a posture of love and not fear (fight or flight).

Listen in on our special Christmas service as Pastor Paddy explores our Christmas Future, a future story secured because of the plan of Christmas Past and it's accomplished victory in Christmas Present. Find HOPE no matter what you're having to endure right now. Merry Christmas!

Listen as Pastor Paddy continues through our Christmas series by looking at Christmas Present.

Listen as Pastor Andreas Beccai introduces us to our Christmas series by looking at Christmas Past, and how God had a plan in mind to rescue us from before the foundations of the world.

This week, Pastor Paddy continues our teaching on David's sin with the confrontation of the prophet Nathan after his assault of Bathsheba and murder of her husband. We are confronted with the worst of our human condition, and how God meets us in the worst and calls us back to him. Will he be open to putting him back at the center of us?

Listen this week as Pastor Andreas Beccai from our Redlands campus unpacks the story of David taking Bathsheba in a sexual act, then having her husband, Uriah, murdered to cover his tracks. We'll talk about the journey into sin, and the God who somehow doesn't abandon us or leave us to suffer alone, even though there are consequences for our choices.

Join us this week as Pastor Paddy explores 2 Samuel 6 and looks at David the worshipper. What happens when we put our needs, our wants, and our desires, before God, and what results when we lay ourselves down, truly pursue God, and learn to worship with all our might.

David the King - This week, our guest, Pastor Sam Leonor, introduces our second season of Its Complicated with a look into David's journey to becoming King of Judah, then eventually Israel. He encourages us to not rush our anointing, but enjoy every moment of the journey even if it takes longer than we think it should. God is working in us on our way to our version of Hebron.

Listen as Pastor Lydia explores Matthew 5, the Beatitudes, from the perspective of learning to live Happy in an Unhappy World.

This week, Pastor Tim Gillespie joins us to celebrate four years of miracles at CRSWLK PDX, and to unpack the miracle of water to wine and what it teaches us about Belonging in the kingdom of God.

In this episode, Pastor Andreas Beccai, Lead Pastor for Crosswalk Reldands, explores the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 (more likely 10-20,000), and what insights from Andrew and Philip in this moment can teach us about belonging.

This week, Pastor Paddy takes us through the enemies the Israelites faced from inside the camp, and how putting God first led to great celebrations, even, a little dancing.

This week, Pastor Paddy leads us through Nehemiah 4 as opposition to the rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem grows, and complaints begin inside the community of faith.

Speaker Paddy McCoy

This week, Pastor Dave Ferguson from our Chattanooga campus introduces our new series on the book of Nehemiah, by giving us the context of what was happening that led up to this story of the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and how God's hand guided.

This week, Pastor Lydia explores how Nehemiah went from grief to growth as he confronted the news of his home still in ruins, and what God was calling him to do.

Pastor Paddy explores the rest of Nehemiah chapter 2 as Nehemiah is granted permission to head back to rebuild Jerusalem, faces opposition, and walks among the rubble. We apply this to what God is doing through the ministry of Crosswalk.

This week, Pastor Paddy unpacks the liturgy of hospitality, what it means, and how it's practice is critical not only for our own journey's, but also for our faith community.

This week, Pastor Paddy explores the liturgies of Confession and Forgiveness, what they are, what they aren't, and how they bring us closer to God.

Pastor Paddy explores the liturgy of rest, especially the gift and meaning of the Sabbath.
