Cross City Church - North
August 23, 2020 | Jesus.Church.Culture. - WE ARE MANY
"Jesus.Church.Culture." is a message series about the effect of Jesus on the church and the church on culture. The design was for the Holy Spirit to be IN the church (you) and the church to be IN the culture flavoring, salting, and lighting it with the presence and truth of Jesus. It's easy for the direction to become switched, allowing the culture to "redefine" the truth. Together, we'll explore how the Corinthian church struggled with this many years ago, and how we can allow Jesus to impact the culture around us today.

Is your definition of church big enough to encompass all this?
If the calling of Christ is a call to something greater than your present identity, will you answer the call?

1 Corinthians 6:9-11...
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
