The Crossing
It is not enough to say we believe in Jesus. We need to put feet to our faith. We are going to circle the wagons around the core of Christianity and ask how to live it out where we live our lives.
We are definitely living in challenging times! American culture is being confronted with many judging and condemning issues. However, crazy faith has an attitude that’s very different from a worldly attitude. Unfortunately, we give ourselves permission to hold on to worldly attitudes when they need to be surrendered to our true identity…a Jesus follower.
2 Corinthians 5:16 NIV
Jonah 1:1-3 NIV
Jonah ran in the opposite direction. He should have feared God.
Jonah 1:10 NIV
What if the bad guys could be good guys?
It was true about the sailors. In their ignorance, they were trying to honor God. Yet, the man who really knew God was doing everything he could to dishonor Him.
Matthew 12:38-41 NIV
Did you know Jesus reaffirmed the truth of this story when He prophesied about His death, burial, and resurrection?
Jonah 2:1-9 NIV
Jonah 3:4-10 NIV
True repentance doesn’t come easy.
Jonah 4:1-3 NIV
The roots of our prejudices go down deeper than we think.
The lesson isn’t over. We might know the right thing; we might even go so far as to do the right thing. But until our heart is changed, we will never be the right thing!
