From Craig Swanson… After the resurrection of Jesus, He chose to return to the Father and leave the future of His church (His bride) in the hands of fallen men. Not sounding so ingenious yet. But He left us with a couple of things – His Spirit abiding with us (a game changer) and a […]
Read more "God’s Ingenious Plan"All because of Jesus I am… Loved. Romans 8:38-39: 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that […]
Read more "All because of Jesus, I am…"From Kevin Funk… On May 21st the Ground Zero museum opened in New York. This museum is built where the twin towers once stood, but actually some of its core exhibits are built seven stories beneath the surface of the ground. With as much about September 12th as it is about 9-11, the Museum provides a case study […]
Read more "From Ground Zero to Hero"From Craig Swanson… In my last 3 blog posts, we’ve looked at the apostles’ teaching, fellowship and the breaking of bread (communion). The final thing that Acts 2:42 says they were devoted to was prayer. But what does that mean? Just the statement of being devoted to prayer is guilt inducing. None of us pray enough […]
Read more "Devoted to Prayer"From Matt Wiegand… Great message this past Sunday (5/11) from Pastor Dave about pride. If you missed it, go find it on Crosspoint’s website and “LISTEN” to it.

He said something that made me think “I wouldn’t have said that in front of a child.” That got me thinking about what is it that helps us filter our thoughts and […]
Read more "Decision Time"A guest post from Holly McClain… 11 But it is the Spirit who does all this and decides which gifts to give to each of us. Our bodies don’t have just one part. They have many parts. 15 Suppose a foot says, “I’m not a hand, and so I’m not part of the body.”Wouldn’t the foot still belong […]
Read more "How VBS impacted one family"Heather and I were recently driving in the car, and the question came up. What are lessons we learned as a young church plant, that we need to be reminded of now as a church that is 10.5 years old? The Israelites were notorious for forgetting things (Deuteronomy 8-9). And we are too. If you’re like […]
Read more "Lessons Learned in Church Planting"From Anna Williamson…one of the members of the Crosspoint team that served with Isaiah 55 Deaf Ministries over Spring Break 2014… “This trip to Reynosa really taught me about being flexible and not having to have concrete plans about everything in life, even the things that seem most important. The group of people that started […]
Read more "Be Still ~ More Often"A guest post from Kelli VanMiddlesworth, who was one Crosspointer who served and was on the recent mission trip to Isaiah 55 Deaf Ministries, in Reynosa, Mexico.
