Toward Shalom, With Shalom, For Shalom

CrossWalk Community Church Napa

God - however we understand who and/or what God is - is all about the Hebrew concept of shalom. Deep peace, well-being, wholeness are some words in English that don't quite capture it. And then there's the beautiful mind-bender part of shalom that somehow brings together seeming opposites. When we embrace this fully, we discover that the most awful parts of our past can be transformed into something meaningful in our lives - the gnashing teeth of the monster in our memory can be pacified. It's work, but we are not alone, of the Sprit of God, being all about shalom, is constantly with us, for us, helping us move forward to, well, more and more and deeper and deeper shalom.
