Crossview Rosa Parks's Message

AI and technology in general is changing our world. "The pace if change will never be as slower as it is today," and institutions we used to trust in are shifting and causing uncertainty and anxiety about our future.Christ followers need to decern who and how to be in these times in order to stay connected to Jesus and to bring hope to those around us.Join us as we explore wisdom, discernment, truth, and what it means to follow Jesus in an age of artificial intelligence.Support the show

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Engineers are using it to translate scripture into new languages. Have a theological question? You can ask ChatGPT for an answer-even from a specific Christian tradition. You can download a Chatbot and "talk" with Moses, Mary, Paul, or even Jesus. At the same time, AI can generate videos of events that never even happened. People are forming relationships with AI companions. There are even support groups for those who have been deceived by artificial connections. In a world where it's easier to ask ChatGPT than listen to the Holy Spirit, how should Christians respond?Is AI just a tool-or shaping us in ways we don't yet see?Join us as we explore wisdom, discernment, truth, and what it means to follow Jesus in an age of artificial intelligence.Support the show

As Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowds asked, who is this? Jesus had asked his disciples a similar question, "Who do people say that I am? And what about you? Who do you say that I am? What would you say?" I think it's safe to assume that Jesus wants us to wrestle with that question. The way we answer influences our worship, our priorities, our resilience in suffering, and our love for others. Who we believe Jesus to be determines who we become. If Jesus is merely a teacher, we may admire his words and adopt a few of his ideas. If he is a moral example, we may try harder to imitate him. But if he is "The Son of David," The King who comes in the name of the Lord, then he is not someone to study-he is someone to trust, obey, and follow.This Easter Sunday, we explore the question, "Why does the Resurrection Matter?"Support the show

God is on a mission to bless the world. God created us and invited us to be a part of the mission.

“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God's blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it's a sign of God's blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted. In this series, we'll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God's blessing to the world. This week we talk about passing on the blessing.Support the show

On Confirmation Sunday, we celebrate not only the students affirming their faith but also the calling for every believer, no matter their age, to live fully into their gifts and calling.The message, based on 1 Timothy 4, emphasizes that spiritual maturity doesn't happen overnight—it takes training, just like any skill or talent. Through personal stories of perseverance (in running, pole vaulting, and faith), Brian and Elijah illustrate that both physical and spiritual growth require intentional practice, discipline, and perseverance.Support the show
