We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward. "Love is never safe. Whenever you love people, it's always demanding. It always requires some sort of sacrifice. Love always demands something from us." As Christians, we're trying to love and serve our neighbors, but what's the best way to do that? Some people say through social distancing and self-isolation to minimize the spread of coronavirus. Others say through community and service. What's the right answer?https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ ( )https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) andhttps://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ ( )https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) discuss both can be expressions of genuine love.

Who's the Sinner? Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

Want to join our 4-week Zoom Bible Study, "Are we living in the end times?" https://info.thecrossingchurch.com/zoom-online-bible-studies (Sign-up today). We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward. "That's good news to all of us because all of us have a little bit of Simon living inside of us. All of us have a little bit of Pharisee inside of us." It's easy to judge the Pharisees for questioning Jesus. But then we become just like them: condemning other sinners. And, when we do that, we're belittling God's grace while forgetting our own sins. Jesus came for the sinners, and that included the Pharisees—and that includes us too. Listen to the story that's had the biggest impact in https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith's) life as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

What the Living Can Learn From the Dying: Seeing Through the Eyes of a Dying Man, John Drage Mar 19, 2020

Show notes

Want to join our 4-week Zoom Bible Study, "Are we living in the end times?" https://info.thecrossingchurch.com/zoom-online-bible-studies (Sign-up today). We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward. "If God gives an answer, what I would do is argue with him. There's no answer that someone could give you, your wife, your kids, that you would say, 'Oh, okay, that makes sense.' So I think, instead of giving us an answer, God gives us something better." After years of ministry and a life dedicated to Christ, https://www.johndrage.com/ (John Drage) was diagnosed with one of the most deadly forms of cancer. It's taken a toll on his mind, body, and family. But he hasn't lost faith.

What Makes Faith Revolutionary? Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

"Faith is always risky. And the centurion gets it. And he takes on the risk willingly. Giving his allegiance, pledging his allegiance to Jesus could mean losing his job—and not just losing his job but maybe even losing his life. But he does it anyway." What is faith? It's not mere intellectual assent. It's not praying a prayer. It's revolutionary, life-giving allegiance. We learn this from one of the most unlikely people. A Gentile. And not just any Gentile, a Roman centurion—a high-ranking officer of Israel's conquerors and oppressors. Learn what faith is as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) studies https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+7.2-10&version=NIV (Luke 7.2-10) to continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

How to Deal With the Storms of Life Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

"What I want you to see is the storms were not responsible for the house collapsing." No matter what stage of life you're in right now, you know that life isn't perfect. You've been through tough times, and you know they're not all behind you. More trials will come your way. How do you prepare for storms in advance? How do you deal with them in the moment? Jesus teaches us how to do both in https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+6.46-49&version=NIV (Luke 6.46-49). It's a short story but full of lessons. Find out what they are from Keith as he continues our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus). Interested in more content like this?

I Pledge Allegiance to King Jesus: An Interview with Matthew Bates Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

What do you think of when you hear “allegiance”? The Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag…)? Pledging your allegiance is dedicating your life to something. It’s not just being willing to suffer and die for a cause; it’s living it out in everything you do. Is that how you view Christianity? In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) discuss allegiance and the gospel with http://matthewwbates.com/Gospel-Allegiance.php (Dr. Matthew Bates), a professor of Theology at the Quincy University, author of the newly released book http://matthewwbates.com/Gospel-Allegiance.php (Gospel Allegiance), and co-host of the podcast https://onscript.study/ (OnScript).

The Most Important Question: Who Do You Follow? | Learning to Follow Jesus | Luke 6.39-40 Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

"So the most important question you can ask is this, and you have to know this answer. And if you don't know it, you're in trouble." Some people seem to be natural-born leaders, don't they? Maybe you're one of them. You're team captain, you're class president, you're CEO. But no one starts out at the top. Listen to this episode to hear about https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick's) existential crisis about being a follower and the crucial question he derived from it as he continues our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

What Does a Christian Look Like? | Learning to Follow Jesus | Luke 6 Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

"I do good to someone, knowing they will do good to me. I will lend to someone, knowing that they will pay me back in some way. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just not Christian." Did you know that Christianity is one of the most diverse groups of people in the world? There are believers all across the globe—people with different languages, customs, professions, and traditions. But we all unite in his name. That's been true since the very beginning, when Jesus chose his disciples. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6&version=NIV (Luke 6) lists out the Apostles and then follows with Jesus's teachings on how we should live together and treat each other. Follow along as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) reads the timeless message to continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).
