Watch Where You’re Going

Heather and I were in a local store the other day, and as we were making our way down this one particular aisle, a small child was walking happily along, but with his head turned to the side.  He was on a crash course with me.  Whether you’re a parent or not, you’ve seen this […]

Running Through the Pain

Heather and I love to watch our kids compete in their various sports.  It truly is a joy.  Today was no different.  In the fall, our son, Eli, runs cross country for Eureka Middle School, and so this morning we got the opportunity to watch him and the other Hornets run in a big cross […]

Don’t forget your sword!

From Kevin Funk… In one of my first blogs I talked about taking Jesus with you on vacation. It’s still one of my most fondest memories hearing the voice of God as I came back from San Diego. Flying back into Peoria, God said “I missed you”. See I forgot to take my Bible and didn’t hardly […]

Be the light!

From Matt Wiegand… As our boys go back to school, Tiff and I have been praying for them.  We pray for them to be courageous, bold and have open ears to learn. We also pray the boys will be children of the light.  We ask God to walk with them each day into their schools, […]

From Kevin Funk… If any of you who are reading this know me, you will find out that one of my spiritual gifts is the gift of encouragement.  Now I’m not saying this as some sort of pat-on-the-back comment.  I receive joy when I’m able to come along side someone in a time of need […]

“Daddy, watch me.”

Our family went on a camping vacation to northern Michigan in July.  It was a great getaway for our family.  Lots of memories were made and lots of family bonding took place.  On the way home, we took a break from camping and stayed the night in a hotel for the evening.  After 7 nights […]

No Greater Love

From Kevin Funk… My last blog had a patriotic theme woven into it via ground zero. During this Fourth of July season I would like to continue to pledge my allegiance to the freedom we all have through our God who has given it to us. But I’d also like to take this a step further. I […]

Four Lies in a Growing Church

When the vision of Crosspoint began, there were 8 adults who gathered in a small group.  When Sunday mornings began in 2003, we had 75 people coming on a Sunday.  By God’s grace, we’ve grown over the years.  In a growing church, there are lies that we can be tempted to believe.  I think these […]
