You’ve Got Questions—And We’ve Got Answers (So Bring Your Friends!)
Let’s be honest about the world we’re living in. People are searching everywhere, flipping through social media, reading self-help books, chasing philosophies, and still coming up empty. Our neighbors, our co-workers, even our own friends and family are wrestling with the same big questions: Why am I here? What’s the point of all this pain? Is there real hope, or is life just a series of random accidents?
Here’s what keeps me up at night: the world is absolutely flooded with questions, but everywhere you look the so-called “answers” are shifting, shallow, and temporary. People are exhausted trying to find truth in news cycles that change by the day, advice columns that contradict each other, or new cultural trends that leave folks even more confused.
But as Christians, we shouldn’t hide from these big questions. In fact, if you’re a follower of Jesus, I need you to hear this: the world is full of lost people who are desperate for real answers, and by God’s grace, we actually have them, because God has spoken in His Word.
We aren’t smarter or better; we’re just recipients of the truth God has already revealed in the Bible. Our job is to share it, to invite others in, and to help people see that God’s Word offers solid ground when everything else feels like sinking sand.
Jesus said it Himself: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7, ESV). He never told anyone to stop asking honest questions, and neither will we. In fact, that’s one of our core values at The Crossings: Got questions? Good. Bring them. Bring your doubts, your big worries, even your tough hang-ups with church. God’s not threatened by your wondering, and neither are we.
Let’s get real, nobody in this world actually has all the answers to life’s mystery. But we do have the truth of God’s Word, and it never goes out of style. At The Crossings, we’re not handing out bumper-sticker responses or religious clichés. Instead, we do the hard work of opening Scripture together, wrestling honestly, and pursuing the God who cares deeply about the questions that keep you up at night.
This is why your role as a believer matters so much. If you know people who are searching, don’t just tell them “I’ll pray for you” (though prayer matters!). Most of all, invite them to come hear about the hope you’ve found. Extend that invitation to church. Start that conversation at work. Show them you take their questions seriously by walking with them through Scripture for real answers.
I meet people all the time who are tired, tired of the runaround, tired of shallow fixes, and tired of never discovering what’s actually true. But here’s the good news: Jesus offers something real. He offers a foundation we can build our lives on, truth that doesn’t change, and hope that’s stronger than any storm.
And honestly, that’s why I’m passionate about what we do here at The Crossings. This isn’t a club for people with all the answers, it’s a family for people looking for hope, for direction, for a relationship with a God who sees, hears, and saves. That’s not our opinion; that’s God’s promise in Scripture.
So, let’s be bold, church. Let’s love people enough to welcome hard questions and walk together toward real answers. If you know someone who’s lost, confused, or “done with religion,” invite them anyway. Open the Bible together. Trust God to show up. I promise you this: there are answers, and they’re found not in a program or a person, but in Jesus Christ alone.
The world’s full of questions, and we’re here to give straight, biblical answers, together. Let’s help the world find what they’re searching for, starting right here, one conversation and one invitation at a time.
See you Sunday, bring your questions and your friends.
