Teachings

Current Teaching Series

Crossings receives its name from a story in Genesis 32 where Jacob, grandson of Abraham, wrestles with God. That story reminds us that faith isn’t about success, winning, or certainty; it’s about our willingness to wrestle with God, who we are becoming, and our questions. In My Most Important Question, we turn over the microphone to different people in our community so they can voice their biggest questions about life and faith. It’s an opportunity for us to remember that we’re all trying to put the pieces of life’s puzzle together, even if we aren’t sure how it will turn out. Join us as we wrestle with ideas of God that are no longer working for us and adopting new frames that allow us to seek shalom in our world today.

These conversations and teachings are important to understanding who we are as Crossings and what questions we are continually asking.

Teaching is one of the ways our community attempts to find their way back to God. This means being honest and authentic about the Story of God (found in the Bible) and how it intersects with our own stories. There is something powerful about a group of people who are willing to wrestle with these kinds of hard questions. We think our time of teaching should start, not finish a conversation. Our study of God’s Story and our story should lead us to learn, unlearn, relearn, and put a new frame on our faith. Hopefully, by doing this, we are able to tell a new and better Story.
