COACH: Church Origins and Church History courtesy of the That’s Jesus Channel190 AD Easter Divides the Dates but Unites the Faith Why The Prayer of Jesus for Oneness Still M190 AD – Easter Divides the Dates but Unites the Faith - Why The Prayer of Jesus for Oneness Still Matters
Metadata Package: In 190 AD, Christians faced a simple but sacred question — when to celebrate Easter. Some chose the Sunday that honored the day Jesus rose; others chose the date that matched Passover itself. Both wanted to honor the same Lord and the same resurrection.
Leaders sought peace without compromise, unity without uniformity. This story shows how faithful believers disagreed deeply yet remained devoted to Christ — and why their struggle still echoes in every church today.

CrossWalk ChurchBuilding CrossWalk Church: SHARE the love of Jesus (1 Thessalonians 2:3-12)Did you know that the early church grew exponentially not just because of the Gospel message, but because of the deep, personal relationships formed within communities? Sharing life together was as powerful as sharing the message itself.
If you're a Christian, it's because someone (or many people) shared the Gospel—the love of Jesus—with you. But the ones who stand out most are those who truly embodied 1 Thessalonians 2:8.
The Apostle Paul writes, "Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well."
Now, make that...

He contrasts Jesus’ bold, straightforward response to Martha with His speechless, deeply troubled reaction to Mary, where He is moved to tears, revealing both divine authority and human empathy. This sermon challenges us to understand the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Tears— two facets of God’s love that we see in Jesus.

CrossWalk ChurchLuke 4:31-44 - Jesus Heals the Sick & Demon-Possessed | 02.04.24 Weekend MessageLuke describes the start of Jesus' preaching ministry with these words: "Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority." - Luke 4:31-32, NIV
Another way to say that Jesus spoke with authority is to say that Jesus, "knew what he was talking about."
We can all relate to talking to someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. It can be a friend at a party who...

CrossWalk ChurchLuke 4:14-30 - Jesus Rejected at Nazareth | 01.28.24 Weekend MessageWhen watching a sporting event, it doesn't take long to figure out which fans are into it, and which ones aren't. If you've been watching any of the NFL Playoffs, then compare what the Dallas Cowboys fans looked like, as they were losing to the Green Bay Packers, to what the Detroit Lions fans have looked like at their past two playoff wins, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

CrossWalk ChurchLuke 2:22-52 - Jesus Presented at the Temple / The Boy Jesus at the Temple | 12.31.23 Weekend MessageThere are not many Bible accounts of Jesus as a child.
In chapter 2 of his gospel, Luke chooses to share the account of the birth of Jesus. Jesus presented at the temple when he was 40 days-old and Jesus visiting the temple for Passover when he is 12.
That's it. Three accounts from birth to age 30. But even calling Jesus a boy at age 12 is a bit of a misnomer because it was at this age that a Jewish boy would make the leap from being a child to a young...

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified." Luke 2:8-9, NIV
Does the idea of standing in front of a holy and righteous God scare you? If not, it probably should. Every time in the Bible that individuals get close to God, they get scared.

As Peter wrote to young Christians they were wondering why Jesus hadn't come back yet. Jesus said he would return in "a little while", for them it seemed like it had already been a long time.
But God is not slow. He is patient. He gives us the precious gift of time so that we can know him and grow...

People want to know, "Is this a sign from God about what is to come? Is the political climate in Israel connected to the second coming of Jesus?"

This leads to the question, "How do our lives change when we become a Christian?"

On the night before his death Jesus preached a sermon with no words when He grabbed a bucket, tied His coat around His waist and started scrubbing feet.
Even on the cross, He used words sparingly and let his suffering and death speak volumes.

Perhaps someone that you consider a true friend is someone who has been with you through a difficult time. This friend is reliable and dependable in tough times.

When hearing the word parable it is also beneficial to think of parallel lines. Parallel lines run alongside each other. They mirror each other. They are at the same time both similar and distinct.
Jesus used stories and examples of common events and activities that his audience understood. He directed them to look up to see how God works in both similar and distinct ways.
