Crossway Christian Church

It's easy to criticize Jonah, but the reality is, we are far more like him than we want to admit. Yet, Jesus is better than us all.

Why does a good and sovereign God send storms into the lives of his people? Sometimes it's an act of grace to get our eyes off of ourselves and back to God.

The first of a series in the book of Jonah. Here we see the God of sovereign grace and the prophet who ran from it.

Inspired by the Austin Stone Community Church (http://www.historyofredemption.org), this is an overview of the Bible's story using the words of the Bible only. It's the story of God redemption of sinners through Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the risen King over all things! But do you worship him as God? Are you sure what your god is?

Matthew shows that four specific blessings from the death of Christ on the cross.

The story of God's redemption comes to a finale in Scripture with an unyielding, all-glorious vision of Jesus Christ, the victorious Lamb!

In 2 John we saw the relationship between truth and love. Now, John provides some practical examples of what that relationship looks like in the lives of God's people.

Are truth and love enemies? If not, then how do they relate to one another in our life with God and his people?

How can you know if you really have fellowship with God? How can you know if you're really one of God's people?

2 Timothy is Paul's final letter before his death. As he finished his race, he tells Timothy how he should work to preserve the gospel that has been entrusted to him and work to help the church preserve it as well.

Peter explains to Christians how, in the midst of suffering, mockers, and a society that love sins, they can be faithful to the end.

How are we to preserve the church until Christ returns? By fighting for the faith. We must fight for the truth and against false teaching, all the while loving sinners and fighting to see them right with God

And the one thing he emphasizes, the overriding concern in this letter is that there is an unbreakable link between belief and behavior, between faith and life. At the center of that link is a life lived by Christians is to be lived by the grace of God.

How is the church to be preserved from one generation to the next? Paul says it happens by holding on to the gospel. We must guard the deposit of faith that has been entrusted to us.

The author of Hebrews is writing to show that the all of the old covenant was just forms and shadows but Christ is the substance. Thus, he tells his readers over and over again to stand firm in their faith for Jesus is better.

How should Christians respond to persecution, or even suffering in general? Peter says that Christians can persevere with joy and holiness because they have an assurance of their present and future salvation.

How does the gospel affect our relationships with other people? How does it affect our responsibilities towards them? Paul shows us in his letter to Philemon.

Our hearts long to be legalists. We look for all kinds of big and small ways to add to the work of Christ, trying to do something, anything that will make us more acceptable to God. But we can't. All our efforts fail because Christ has done it all.

Who does the work of ministry? Paul says that God gives leaders to the church to equip every believer to do the work of ministry.
