You Are Too Closed-Minded: Christian Exclusivism
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Christians seem odd. Our odd views are counter culture. However, let us respond to our critics in a way that counters their own cultural narrative about Christianity. What if the very thing you find concerning ends up offering you far more hope than you ever dared dream? How can answers to the challenge of critics counter the cultural narrative about us, and offer hope to all?
The sermon today is titled "You Are Too Closed-Minded," dealing with the claim that Jesus is the only way to God. This sermon is the first installment in our series "Counter/Culture." Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on August 16, 2026. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under BEGIN: A Satisfying Faith.
