Christ 2R Culture

CULTURE: We lovingly engage culture to reach people with Jesus.

Today, many churches follow the social gospel and Critical Race Theory. Others ordain women pastors. Some no longer believe in the existence of hell. In this message, we share how CrossWinds Church relates to modern culture and the EFCA’s response to issues such as wokism, Critical Race Theory, Christian Nationalism, Egalitarianism, and other cultural trends.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-28 - What Is God's Will For Life In The Church? - Part 2



How important is a Christian’s attitude? We watch negative news. We work with whining people. It is easy to develop a negative attitude. God’s will is different. As Christians, we are to stand out because of the joy in our lives and the thankfulness of our words. Join us as we learn how to worship Jesus in our attitude.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 - Are You Ready For The End Of The World?



How will the world end? Will it be due to climate change? Will it be from war in the Middle East? As Christians, what signs tell us the end is near? As we continue our study in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, we look at the end of the world and what the Bible says about Christians predicting and preparing for its arrival.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 - What Happens To Christians When They Die?



When a Christian dies, where do they go? When Jesus returns, what happens to a Christian’s body? Will the dead miss out on the glorious return of Jesus? These are some of the important questions Paul answers for the Thessalonians and us.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 - The Power Of A Quiet Life



Harold Camping of Family Radio predicted that Christ’s return and the world’s end would occur in May 2011. In no surprise, he was wrong. In his enthusiasm for Christ’s return, he provoked people into selling their property, giving him millions of dollars, and making other foolish decisions. In spite of putting up over 5,000 billboards, his preoccupation with Christ’s return did more harm for the cause of Christ than good. How should we prepare for Christ’s return? If Jesus was to return in the next 5 years, what should we do today? In this study, we find the answer.
