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 […]
Read more "Running Through the Pain"REM said it this way… ‘Everybody hurts…sometimes.’ There is truth to that line, not because REM sang it, but because it reflects a Biblical truth. That in this life, one theme is suffering and struggle. Now, this blog post is already getting you excited, huh?! 🙂 But the reality of life is that it is […]
Read more "When we face struggle"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 […]
Read more "Encouragement? Yes Please!"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 […]
Read more "“Daddy, watch me.”"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 […]
Read more "No Greater Love"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 […]
Read more "Four Lies in a Growing Church"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 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. What is ironic about pride is, when I am trying to be humble or act in humility, my pride continues to rear its ugly head. What do I […]
Read more "Pride follow up…"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 […]
