Are Islam and Christianity different ways to worship the same God? How should Christians interact with Muslims? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how Christians can stay rooted in the truth of scripture and love the Muslim people.
“I’m Disagreeing with Islam” is not the same things as disparaging Muslims. I love Muslims. We’re not talking about whether Muslims are good people. We’re asking “Is Islam compatible with Christianity?”
The Messy Middle
Truth is often found by embracing two seemingly opposing truths at the same time. Imagine a see-saw with differing truths on each end. The goal is for each truth to have the same weight, so the see-saw will be balanced. No matter the topic, if you tip the see-saw too far to either side, and you don’t feel the tension between the two truths, you’ve chosen a side and you’re out of balance.
Two true statements about Islam:
- Islam is a false religion that promotes dangerous ideology.
- Muslims are made in the image of God, loved by Jesus, and need to hear the Gospel shared with courage and love.
From the very beginning, God intended to redeem people from every tribe, every tongue, and every nation—including the nations that would come through Ishmael. Salvation is through Jesus alone, but everyone is invited.
Something incredible is happening in our generation. Across the Muslim world, there are thousands of documented testimonies of Muslims encountering Jesus through dreams and visions called Christophanies.
Will you preach, pray and protect so the Gospel of Jesus reaches Muslims?
