So What About… Jesus? [So what about…?, part 2]

What if your version of Jesus is wrong, and discovering who He really is could change everything about your life? Main Ideas: You can be completely wrong about Jesus… and still think you’re following Him. A Jesus who always agrees with you… isn’t the real Jesus. Many of us are following a version of Jesus we’ve never actually examined. If you want to know what God is like… Look at Jesus. Jesus didn’t just teach about God. He shows us what God is like in flesh and blood. Jesus is too big to be just part of your life… He’s the source of it and the reason for it. Jesus didn’t come to make your life slightly better. He came to bring you back to God. A safe Jesus will never change your life. We don’t get to redefine Jesus. We only get to respond to Him If Jesus really is who He says He is, then He’s not just someone to admire…He’s someone to follow. Invitation: Examine your version of Jesus Replace your version with the real Jesus Decide who you will follow. —- 📜 |TRANSCRIPT → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-19.pdf [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-19.pdf] ✍️  | 5 DAY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE → https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem [https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem] 🍞 | GATHER TOGETHER → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather] | 4:30pm on Sundays. 👋 | SAY HI → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/] 🤝 | DONATE TO CROSSCREEK → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/] #bible #biblestudy #christianity #christian #church #followingjesus #god #religion #questions #jesus #christ #jesuschrist

Why Do You Believe What You Believe? [So what about…?, part 1]

Examining your beliefs can transform your faith, deepen your relationship with Jesus, and help you live a life that actually works. Main Ideas: Most of our beliefs weren’t chosen… they were inherited. Our beliefs shape our lives. A faith you never question… is a faith that never grows. Barrier #1: I don’t think I’m allowed to ask that. Questions aren’t a threat to faith… They are the starting point. Barrier #2: I’m afraid of what I might find. A faith that avoids hard questions doesn’t become stronger… It becomes more fragile. Barrier #3 I Already Know What I Believe. The moment you think you’ve arrived… is usually the moment you stop growing. When you come across a belief, ask three things: Why do I believe this? Is this actually true? What kind of life is this producing? If a belief makes you more like Jesus… hold onto it. If it makes you less like Jesus… question it. Invitation: Notice: Pay attention to a strong reaction you have Trace it: Ask “What belief is underneath this?” Question it: “Why do I believe this?” “Is this actually true?” “Does this look like Jesus?” —- 📜 |TRANSCRIPT → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-12.pdf [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-12.pdf] ✍️  | 5 DAY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE → https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem [https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem] 🍞 | GATHER TOGETHER → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather] | 4:30pm on Sundays. 👋 | SAY HI → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/] 🤝 | DONATE TO CROSSCREEK → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/] #bible #biblestudy #christianity #christian #church #followingjesus #god #religion #questions #jesus #christ #jesuschrist

Everything Will Be Made Right [Easter 2026]

What if the resurrection of Jesus means nothing in your life is beyond restoration, and everything will be made right? Main Ideas: We don’t give up on life… we just settle for less. Jesus’ resurrection is a promise that God won’t leave anything dead, unfinished, or broken. Easter means death is dead. If it’s not made right yet… God’s not done yet. Because Jesus rose…The worst thing is never the last thing. —- 📜 |TRANSCRIPT → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-05.pdf [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-04-05.pdf] ✍️  | 5 DAY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE → https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem [https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem] 🍞 | GATHER TOGETHER → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather] | 4:30pm on Sundays. 👋 | SAY HI → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/] 🤝 | DONATE TO CROSSCREEK → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/] #bible #biblestudy #christianity #christian #church #followingjesus #god #religion #questions #jesus #christ #jesuschrist #easter #resurrection

How to Know If You’re Really Following Jesus [The Way of Jesus, part 6]

Jesus warns that not everyone who thinks they’re following Him actually is… here’s how to know for sure, according to Jesus himself. Main Ideas: “What Jesus would do” just looks like what we already wanted to do. The voice you follow shapes the life you build. We judge others by their worst actions and ourselves by our best intentions. Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven don’t just avoid wrong… they initiate love. A voice can sound right… and still lead you wrong. Real truth doesn’t just sound right… it produces the right kind of life. Jesus didn’t come to be a consultant. He came to be King. Following Jesus isn’t what you say… it’s what you build your life on. Invitation: Ask Jesus for the courage to follow him on his terms. Choose one teaching from the Sermon on the Mount and actually practice it. —- 📜 |TRANSCRIPT → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-03-29.pdf [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-03-29.pdf] ✍️  | 5 DAY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE → https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem [https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem] 🍞 | GATHER TOGETHER → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather] | 4:30pm on Sundays. 👋 | SAY HI → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/] 🤝 | DONATE TO CROSSCREEK → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/] #bible #biblestudy #christianity #christian #church #followingjesus #god #beatitudes #sermononthemount #religion #questions #jesus #christ #jesuschrist

How to Stop Worrying About the Future… Jesus’ Answer to Anxiety [The Way of Jesus, part 5]

With Jesus, we can overcome anxiety and rely on God instead of money or success. Main Ideas: No matter how much we secure… it never quite feels like enough. What we rely on to secure our future will either give us life… or steal it. The Way of Jesus replaces worry with trust by changing what we rely on. Treasure: What we rely on to give us the life we want. Your treasure trains your heart. Worry is the result of relying on the wrong treasure. Faith is a daily and practical reliance on the love, care, and power of God. When our reliance shifts from treasure to God, worry begins to lose its grip. Our worry reveals our reliance. When we rely on the love, care, and power of God… there’s nothing left to worry about. Invitation: ASK: What are my top 3 worries? READ: Philippians 4:6-7. Once a day this week. PRAY: With gratitude. —- 📜 |TRANSCRIPT → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-03-15.pdf [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/media/2026-03-15.pdf] ✍️  | 5 DAY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE → https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem [https://substack.com/@crosscreeksalem] 🍞 | GATHER TOGETHER → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/#gather] | 4:30pm on Sundays. 👋 | SAY HI → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/welcome/] 🤝 | DONATE TO CROSSCREEK → https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/ [https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/donate/] #bible #biblestudy #christianity #christian #church #followingjesus #god #beatitudes #sermononthemount #religion #questions #jesus #christ #jesuschrist
