The Unlikeliest Hero: A Journey to Easter

Everyone loves a good underdog story—the moment when someone the world overlooked rises up and claims an unexpected victory. But what if the greatest underdog story of all time wasn’t about a warrior winning a battle or an athlete pulling off an upset? What if it was about a man who walked willingly into defeat… only to come back in the greatest victory in history?

This Easter season, we invite you to join us at The Crossings Community Church for our new series, “The Unlikeliest Hero.” We’ll walk through the story of Jesus—the King no one expected, the Champion who fought in a way no one understood, and the Savior who claimed victory in a way no one saw coming.

Over the course of five weeks, we’ll explore the moments leading up to Easter Sunday:

March 23, 2025 – The Fight No One Expected (Mark 8:27-38, Isaiah 55:8-9)
Jesus told His disciples that He would suffer and die, but they couldn’t accept it. The world expected a warrior king—Jesus had a different kind of fight ahead.

March 30, 2025 – The King with No Crown (Luke 19:28-44, Zechariah 9:9)
On Palm Sunday, the crowds cheered for Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem, expecting Him to overthrow their oppressors. But He wasn’t the kind of king they imagined.

April 6, 2025 – The Fight of His Life (Matthew 26:36-46, Isaiah 53)
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faced the weight of the cross before it even happened. He had every chance to walk away. But He didn’t.

April 13, 2025 – The Darkest Hour (John 19:16-42, Psalm 22:1-8)
Jesus is beaten, mocked, and crucified. The world goes dark, and hope seems lost. But God’s plan was never in doubt.

April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday) – The Greatest Upset in History (Luke 24:1-12, 1 Corinthians 15:54-57)
For three days, it looked like the enemy had won. But then, the unlikeliest hero rose from the grave, securing victory over sin and death forever.

Join Us This Easter

We meet at The Steadman-Keenan American Legion Post 96 (18 S. Maple Ave, Brunswick, MD) every Sunday at 11:00 AM. Whether you’ve been part of The Crossings for years or you’re just looking for a place to celebrate Easter, we invite you to be part of this life-changing series.

This Easter, discover how the unlikeliest hero changed everything—forever.

Hello, Church Family!

As we navigate this ever-changing world, it's vital that we discuss some of the big ideas swirling around us. One of these ideas is relativism—the notion that “what’s true for you, isn’t necessarily true for me.” While this might sound accommodating, it’s kind of like saying that the map to your favorite restaurant works no matter which way you turn it. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t!

Relativism promotes the idea that truth and morality are subjective, adjusting based on personal preferences or cultural norms. It’s like saying if I love hip-hop and tamales just as much as you love bluegrass and fried chicken, we can chew on what we like and still be content, but can we really apply this thinking to our faith and morals?

Let’s break it down: As Christians, we believe Jesus isn’t just a flavor of truth; He is the Truth. The exclusive kind that stands firm, irrespective of personal perception. Many people hold different beliefs, sure, but the idea that everyone’s right leads to chaos because truth by definition can’t self-contradict.

Think about it: If Jesus is "God" to me, but just a historical figure to someone else, can both perspectives be equally true? Spoiler again: Nope. Our faith is grounded in the belief in absolutes—truths that transcend our personal tastes or cultural backgrounds, offering a reliable compass for life.

Now, one of the puzzling questions that puzzles many is, "Why does God allow suffering?" Atheists might say that if God were real and good, He wouldn’t let bad things happen—like earthquakes or diseases. But remember, humanity brought sin into this world, and with it, pain and suffering. It's not God's doing, but ours. But here’s the twist: God doesn’t leave us hanging. Out of His love, He offers us redemption through Jesus Christ.

Isn’t that incredible? Like a loving parent watching a child struggle, God stepped in, offering Jesus as a way back to Him. Who among us wouldn’t offer a lifeline to someone we love deeply?

While relativism may sound cool in coffee shop debates, it strips away the bedrock of truth and leads us astray. Our mission is to hold onto this Truth, letting it guide our conversations and actions with love and understanding.

Let’s embrace the challenge of being truth-bearers in a world teetering on the edge of relativity and share the light and hope that our absolute faith provides.

Stay blessed and keep shining!
