When Faith Gets Risky :: The Cross :: Alvin Brown

In this powerful sermon titled When Faith Gets Risky, we explore the story of Joseph of Arimathea, a man who took a bold, faith-filled step when others hesitated. 

As a member of the Jewish council and a secret disciple of Jesus, Joseph’s decision to ask for Jesus’ body after the crucifixion wasn’t just an act of bravery—it was a costly, mission-driven risk.

In this message, we unpack the lessons from Joseph’s actions, showing how his journey from passivity to mission can teach us about our own faith:

What does taking a stand for Jesus look like, even when it’s not easy or expected? 

How do we face the costs of identifying with Christ?

And, how can we move from being passive bystanders to active participants in God’s kingdom?

Whether you’re a believer or someone seeking answers, this sermon encourages and challenges us all to reflect on our relationship with Jesus and the tension of what it means to truly follow Him, even when the risks feel high.
