The Cross & the Crescent Part 9: The Master Key: How to Reach a Muslim | Week 9 | Pastor Nate Brown

Grace & Glory | The Power to Live Free | Week 1 | Pastor Nate Brown

Week 1 (June 7): Dead to Sin, Alive to God  Romans 6  Grace is not just a legal declaration. It is a death and a resurrection. Paul opens Romans 6 with  the most provocative question in the letter: if grace abounds where sin increases, why not keep  sinning? His answer cuts straight to the bone. You can’t. Because you died. Union with Christ in  His death means the old self is not reformed, it is crucified. Union with Him in His resurrection means a new life is already happening.  The message will walk the whole chapter as one argument. The first half develops the identity  move: baptism declares a transfer that grace has already accomplished. The second half  develops the loyalty move: freedom is not the absence of a master, it is belonging to the right  one. Everyone obeys something. The question is who. The practical question this week is  whether we are living as people who are dead to sin and now belong to God, or simply people  who are trying harder to resist sin while still serving the old master. Those are not the same  posture, and only one of them is rooted in what grace actually did.

The Cross & the Crescent Part 10: The End of Two Kingdoms - Eschatology | Week 10 | Pastor Nate Brown

What Islam and Christianity teach about the end times  The final installment looks forward to what the Bible and Islam teach about the end  times. By examining this, we are able to see how a view of what’s coming shapes the  behavior of people in the present.   In the final week, we study Jesus and the Biblical end times. We then contrast the  Hadith and its teachings on the Mahdi, Isa, and conquest and the final days.

The Gospel and the Little g gods | Week 8 | Pastor Nate Brown

Week 8 (May 31): Two Kingdoms, Two Adams: The Reign of  Grace  Romans 5:12-21  This week confronts the little g gods of self-rule, human progress, and the belief  that humanity can ultimately fix itself. Paul steps back to explain the deeper  story behind sin and salvation. Through Adam, sin and death entered the world  and spread to every person, placing humanity under the rule of condemnation.  The message will explore how Jesus comes as the second Adam, reversing what  the first Adam unleashed. Where Adam’s disobedience brought sin and death, Christ’s obedience brings righteousness and life. Paul’s conclusion is that grace  does more than forgive individual sins. It establishes a new reign. This passage  calls the church to recognize that every person ultimately belongs to one of two  kingdoms, and only the reign of Christ leads to true life.

The Gospel and the Little g gods | Week 7 | Pastor Daniel Hayworth

Week 7 (May 24): Peace With God: The Results of Justification Romans 5:1-11  This week confronts the little g gods of striving, insecurity, and the fear that our  standing with God depends on our performance. Paul explains what changes  when a person is justified by faith. Hostility with God is replaced by peace,  distance by access to grace, and uncertainty by confident hope.  The message will explore how the gospel reshapes the believer’s view of  suffering. Trials are no longer signs that God has abandoned us but instruments  He uses to form endurance, character, and hope. The cross stands as the  ultimate proof of God’s love, given while we were still sinners and enemies. This  passage calls the church to stop living anxiously before God and instead stand  securely in the grace Christ has already secured.
