Sharing Jesus: the key to changing the world
If you see the potential, power and importance of sharing Jesus,
and the flow-on effects of the gospel, then please join us this Spring
Missing Peace? is an Advent and Christmas series developed by Crossover. It is adaptable for use in all kinds of churches, highly invitable, and full of the great news about Jesus.
The series title, ‘Missing Peace?’ is of course a two-sided play on words. It calls to all who thirst for peace, and hints at a ‘missing piece’ which is Christ the cornerstone.

Free Christmas outreach series designed to be highly invitable and accessible for newcomers, but equally fit for the whole church. It’s flexible too – so you can adapt it to suit your own timing and style. The download includes 5 sermon outlines and customisable artwork for promotion and presentation.
Recommended giveaway book: "It’s not often that in a book about Jesus the first chapter starts off with a quote from the famous Australian film The Castle. That was enough to catch my eye and convince me to read further. By the time I had finished I’d found another resource I can use with plenty of my mates." - From review by Stan Fetting
Recommended Christmas Give-away/present: A short (60pg) booklet outlining the good news in an accessible way using a Christmas theme.

Sacred Agents #112: The opposite of sharing is hoarding, and it's quite hard to hoard Jesus...
Crossover recommends: Written in Chalk: The Echo of Arthur Stace - a documentary film tracing the legacy of Arthur Stace - famous for chalking 'Eternity' in Sydney, a witness that became iconic.
Sacred Agents #113: What's happening with Australian young adults? They're checking out church in big numbers.
Excellent, original, Australian evangelism training course for churches written and presented by Belinda Lakelin. Features sermon outlines, small group, coaching opportunities and more.
Sacred Agents #108: Naming That Nothingness - Just what is this lack-of-faith so many Australians believe in?
Crossover recommends: Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, Rebecca McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world's best hope.
Super simple 1 minute video on inviting your friends to church.
A resource for pastors, youth leaders and evangelists to keep on hand. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book walks through with people what it means and looks like to entrust their whole lives to Christ, and how the act of baptism encapsulates and enacts it.
Book by Andrew Turner: What is real success for a church? What are we aiming for?
If it’s all about size and health, then why did Jesus curse that big, healthy-looking fig tree? Could it be that we are aiming to shape churches that will impress everyone but him? What does a truly fruitful church look like?
Fruitful Church exposes how, ironically, the typical aims of growth and health actually choke real life from churches. It explores an alternative vision that refreshes every aspect of local church life and compels it to awaken from static religious institution towards the dynamic missional movement that God first planted.
Sacred Agents #103: Are our gatherings as inviting and accessible as Jesus is?
Sacred Agents #104: That 'the gates of Hades will not overcome' the church is even better news than we perhaps thought.

Recommended book resource: Paperback for enquirers or skeptics. "This is the first book I would give to anyone who is investigating Christianity, or recently become Christian, or a Christian who wants to learn to better articulate their faith." - Reviewer.
