How can we handle tough spiritual conversations? [Acts 19:23-41] | 07.30.23 Weekend Message

Are you a person who enjoys watching a campfire? It's a favorite activity of Pastor Chris and his family when they're back in WI during family vacation. Just about every night they gather around the fire to enjoy conversation with one another.


Every once in a while however, someone decides that it's taking too long to get the fire started so they pour gas or lighter fluid on to the wood. When that happens, the conversation stops. Why? Because the fire flares up and gets huge!


This weekend at CrossWalk Church in Phoenix as we conclude our "Directed" message series God directs us not to throw fuel on the fire in our spiritual conversations. What does that mean?


Let's be honest, sometimes matters of religion and faith can get a little heated. When we believe strongly about Jesus and someone else believes strongly about something else, it can get a little heated. In those situations, do we try to force the conversation further? Maybe, but sometimes it may be like throwing fuel on the fire and all it does is stops the conversation.


How does God want us to handle these types of spiritual conversations? In our message we are going to learn how to handle spiritual conversations in a way that is helpful and not harmful.
