Too Close To The Cross

Focus Church with Mike Santiago

In his Easter sermon titled "Too Close To The Cross," Pastor Mike delves into the dangers of familiarity and indifference surrounding the symbol of the cross. Using contemporary examples of how crosses have become more of a fashion statement than a profound reality, he explores the repercussions of becoming desensitized to the significance of the cross. Drawing from biblical passages like Psalm 22:18 and John 19:17-24, Pastor Mike highlights how proximity to the cross can lead to division, distraction, and indifference. He emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, the perils of distraction, and the need for fresh vision in churches. Ultimately, Pastor Mike calls for a renewed understanding of the transformative power of the cross, reminding listeners that the story does not end at the crucifixion but continues with the resurrection. He concludes with a salvation call, urging individuals to move beyond mere proximity to the cross and be truly changed by its message of redemption and salvation.
