Are You The Crowd or The Church? :: The Cross :: Bria Lacour


Have you ever witnessed someone in need but hesitated, thinking someone else would step in? 

That’s the bystander effect—a troubling reflection of human nature. But what happens when we apply this to our faith?

In this powerful message, Are You the Crowd or the Church?, we examine the difference between standing by like the crowd and stepping up like the Church when faced with the cross of Jesus Christ. 

Through His sacrifice, Jesus didn’t remain a bystander to humanity’s brokenness and sin. He acted decisively, choosing the excruciating path of the cross to bring salvation, forgiveness, and restoration.

This message challenges us to move beyond chasing the benefits of following Jesus and to pursue Jesus Himself. It’s a call to let the cross transform our lives, reorder our priorities, and empower us to pick up our cross and follow Him, even when it costs us.

If you’re ready to stop being part of the crowd and start living as the Church, this message is for you.
