Crossroads Church Kansas City

More is on the way, but here is a preliminary look at our stance on Jesus and the Bible.

 

Cultures change, truth stays the same: We affirm that Sin is real, that Christ defeats it, that the Bible relates it, and that faith in Jesus is the essence of the good life and the ticket out of eternal Hell.

 

Unity on the propositional truths of God’s authoritative, infallible word makes it possible for us to enjoy a diversity of cultural perspectives and voices.

 

In other words, belief in the Godhead (triune, co-eternal and co-equal), Christ (his substitutionary death and resurrection), and salvation (God’s grace-gift received by faith) makes it possible for white-collar professionals, wired hipsters and starving artists to hang out together.

 

The Bible says to have solid doctrine (1 Timothy 4:16), love other Christians (1 Peter 4:8) and avoid needless divisions (Romans 16:17). Apparently God thinks all these things can happen at the same time—and we do too.
