The Cross & the Crescent Part 2 of 10 — They've told us that Muhammad and Jesus are just two men offering different paths to the same God. In this powerful second installment of our 10-part series, Pastor Daniel Hayworth dismantles that claim by applying the test Jesus Himself gave us: "By their fruit you will know them."

Walking through the documented historical record — using Islam's own sources — Pastor Daniel examines the life of the Prophet Muhammad in unflinching detail. From child marriage and the enslavement of women to bloody military conquest and the assassination of critics, the fruit of Muhammad's life tells a story that the modern world has been pressured to ignore. And the threat is no longer overseas — as this week's shooting in Austin, Texas proves, it's on our doorstep.

But the episode doesn't end in darkness. Pastor Daniel shifts focus to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ — the sinless Savior who advanced His kingdom through sacrifice, not the sword. The One who forgave His enemies from the cross. The One whose tomb is still empty.
