Life is complicated… even before all of this. Now even little things like getting groceries is a major task. It won’t ALWAYS be like this. So we’re asking: where do we go from here? What do we want life to be like after this? We are probably all realizing our answer might be… SIMPLER! A calendar that’s open, an unfettered relationship with God and better relationships with others. It’s really *why* Jesus came. In fact, rules were never God’s intention. And in this episode, we look closely at the one, simple rule Jesus has for us. And we ask ourselves, “What does love look like?”
What do we want things to be like when we come out of this? So much has changed these last few weeks. In some instances they have changed forever. But what if, instead of seeing this as the end of something, we see this time as a chance to create something better? In this series, Where do we go from here?, we will be exploring this idea and the areas we can start changing for the better right now. In part 1, we talk about the big picture of our relationship with God, why the old way of religion sucks, and how Jesus’ new way makes things so much better.
As we conclude this series we’ll tackle THE most offensive thing about Christianity: that there’s no other way but Jesus. As we unpack this central & often offensive truth about the Christian faith, we’ll also discover that there’s good news for you in the mix.
For many people the greatest “proof” against God’s existence is the behavior of Christians. In fact, the hypocrisy of Christians and the Church is one of the biggest problems of Christianity. The first step in dealing with the problem of hypocrisy is admitting it’s true. The second step is getting an accurate view of how to be a Christian and live out the Christian faith; this is achieved only by closely looking at its founder, Jesus and understanding the real and true message of Christianity. Because the truth is Jesus hates hypocrisy, but died for sinners. Listen in for more…
Covered in this week’s session of “So, what about…” Part 4: What about Evil & Suffering? Every belief system has to answer the question of evil and suffering. How do some of the major religious explain evil and suffering? We’ll cover those, and contrast Christianity’s answer. (Hint: it has to do with Jesus.)
– A few simple songs (usually a guitar and maybe a violin and percussion) to sing along with or just listen to. – A short message (similar to our YouTube/podcast style messages) – Communion together (all are welcome at the table, but you can also skip this). – A final song and a simple prayer. – Afterwards, an optional snack while you meet some folks.
All in all, should last about an hour.
How many people will be there? 🤓
We are a small church, like a majority of churches in America! Weekly we see between 25 and 45 people gathering in the main room. It just depends. If you want to hide in the back, you still can!
What do you offer for kids? 👨👧👧
We have kids’ classrooms for nursery/pre-k and for elementary kids through grade 5. Our volunteers are background checked and there are always open doors and multiple volunteers. You can also keep your kids in the service with you. It’ll be an hour long. Email us with any specific kid-related questions! info@yourcrosscreek.com
Do I have to believe in Jesus to attend? 🙋🏽
No. We created this church in 2017 to be a place where faith in Jesus can be explored, and isn’t demanded, assumed or expected.
We welcome your questions, your doubts, and the process of faith. You don’t have to believe to belong.
And we won’t make any assumptions: we promise to explain briefly what’s happening and invite you to join in. You can also sit back and just check things out.
