![Does God accept me? [Discovering, pt 5 / 6]](https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/coverpt5-1080x675.jpg)
Everyone wants to know they are accepted for who they really are. But so often, we are told to conform, clean up, and change if we want to be accepted. Is God the same way? Or is his acceptance something completely different… something completely better?
You asked and we did our best to answer. Whether you agree or disagree with Crosscreek’s stance on some heavy issues, this episode will give you a chance to better understand Crosscreek and hopefully your own beliefs at the same time.
Monica sits down with our friends Courtney and Amber (over Zoom, of course) to talk about their ‘old way’ of viewing God, what they’ve been discovering about him recently, and how that’s impacted their lives, in general and in our present situation.
People who were nothing like Jesus loved being around him. And he accepted them. As we heard in part 1, being accepted means “no matter how different we are, I see you as a person worthy of value and honor.” Here in part 2, we take a close look at an “unlikely” group of people Jesus accepted: the skeptics. We’ll eventually land here [spoiler alert]: Jesus accepts every skeptic as an individual. What’s that mean for you? It means you are accepted, and asking questions and not taking everything at face value is healthy.
What if it is so simple that we missed it even though it’s been there the whole time? Turns out the most important point in Discovering God is the fact that peace with God comes from a single act of trust. It couldn’t be much simpler than that. It’s not that complicated. God is pursuing you. And he is only asking that you trust him.
