CrossWalk Community Church Napa

What was Mary saying yes to, beyond the obvious? What is the Spirit of God always inviting everyone toward? What does "yes" mean? And what does star dust and dark energy have to do with any of it?

It turns out the first Baptist preacher ever may have sounded like the judgmental, fear-mongering, tent revival caricature, but that would be wrong. His message was actually incredibly inclusive, redemptive, and hopeful, and fully aligned with joyful birth narrative of the one he was preparing his audience for. Joy to the world!

The Christmas story imagining Jesus' birth is one that depicts the very human experience of conflict, tension, angst, hurt, fear, ego, and also bears witness to the ongoing potential for all of us: peace. The stars above may help us in our pursuit...

Perhaps the vision of the Second Coming of Christ in the traditional sense can no longer be taken literally or seriously. There may be a better version hidden in plain sight that squares better with the Jewish Jesus, history, and our collective experience. Caution: heresy ahead!

Gratitude alone is a tremendous force for good. Add faith to the mix, and it's power increases exponentially.

We welcome Brian Henderson to the stage.  He is the Executive Director of the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists, a global organization supporting churches who are or are becoming welcoming and affirming especially of the LGBTQ+ community.
