At Cross & Crown, we seek to see families strengthened (Deut. 6:4-9), the saints equipped (Eph. 4:11-13), and the King and Kingdom proclaimed (Ezek. 47:1-12) through the local church in Tulsa and around the world.
The idols of Athens were made of silver and stone. Ours look different -- career, comfort, control, approval -- but the human heart has not changed. Anything that takes the place of God in our affections, our security, or our identity is an idol.
Zach Merrill shows us in Acts 17, that Paul stood before the Areopagus and declared the identity of the God the Athenians labeled "unknown." He is not confined to temples or sustained by human hands. He is the Creator and Lord of everything -- sovereign over nations, over history, over you.

Faithful in the Face of Hostility
The gospel has always provoked opposition. In Acts 17, Paul and Silas were run out of Thessalonica, chased to Berea, and met with slander and mob violence at every turn. Yet they kept preaching. And churches were planted. And lives were changed.
This Sunday, Trey Hopkins walked us through Paul's missionary journey into Macedonia and showed us three powerful truths: faithful gospel proclamation provokes real opposition, courage in the face of hostility is contagious, and sometimes God grants us the gift of good soil.

The Politics of Paul: Using One's Rights to Right Wrongs
Paul and Silas were beaten, imprisoned, and silenced by the state — yet at midnight, they were praying and singing. And God shook the foundations.
Acts 16 is one of the most political passages in all of Scripture. It confronts us with a hard truth: the state must not protect what God condemns. And when it does, Christians are called to speak — not in partisan loyalty, but in faithfulness to the King who rules over every corner of life.
