“Rebel’s Guide” Series Continues This Week

rebel-webNext to Jesus, the counter-cultural revolutionary, the greatest rebel found in the New Testament is Paul.  As a young man, he was full of passion and commitment in his life. After encountering Christ, God used those same God-given personality quirks to speak to the Christians scattered around the world, challenging them to grow in Jesus with the gusto. He was a man who went against the tide and was willing to step out, take risks, and live diligently as a “rebel.” He was a rebel WITH a cause. That cause was the gospel and life as a follower of Christ. This rebel still speaks to us today. As he nears the end of his life and sits in prison awaiting his fate, his words penetrate our hearts as he speaks to key issues in our lives that will run counter to the culture, but parallel with God.

In our eight-week focused series, “The Rebel’s Guide” we will be journeying and studying together at The Crossing through the book of Philippians.  It will be challenging as we take a ride on the wild side of a revolutionary faith in Jesus Christ…growing beyond the boundaries that have hemmed us in for far too long while not being afraid of who God uniquely created us to be. Join us each week for this intense series at each of our live services (8:30, 10:00, 11:30 am) including our new Sunday evening venue, “the six” (6:00 pm). Join us here on our campus or live online at thecrossingonline.com/live.
