Unfinished

I have a lot of unfinished things in my life. Things I’ve started on but haven’t completed. Or things that need attention that I haven’t gotten around to doing just yet. I have a plethora (I’ve always wanted to use that word in a blog post) of house projects to complete. I have a guitar […]

Five Reflections From My First Five Years in Christ

Since March, I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the past five years of following Jesus. I was saved in March 2012 by the grace of our Lord and haven’t been the same ever since. I wanted to take some time to share with you the things God has taught me along the way—so far.

Earthly Suffering and God’s Steadfast Faithfulness

As followers of Christ, can’t we avoid suffering? I think most every Christian has quietly or loudly asked this question? And to that question, the Apostle Peter writes to us in 1 Peter 4:12-19.

The Antidote to Your Anxiety

As the people of God, we look no different from the world when we spend our lives chasing physical provision over eternal joy.

The Church is Family, a Body, and on Mission

Over the past 5 years at Crosspoint, since we’ve moved into the new building in April 2012, we’ve had 77 Crosspointers move to another geographic location in the US. 22 households total. 18 of those households moved out of state. All 22 households moved far enough away making it impossible to remain connected to Crosspoint […]

Done with Sin

So when our flesh, or the culture, or our spiritual enemy wants us to think that we can still hold onto sin and yet love God supremely and with everything we have, the Lord says that we are to be done with sin.

May these lead us to an attitude of thankfulness to and worship of our God who is at work, not only through us, but […]

Five Phrases That Should Describe Us

1 Peter 3:8: Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

The Gospel According to Jesus

When we make the gospel out to be about salvation only, we are tempted to see it as something God is only doing for our personal good. The gospel becomes all about us and not about Jesus. This causes us to miss the essence of what makes the gospel so incredible. God is redeeming all of creation, not just you. He is calling us to join Him in the mission of spreading His reign on earth through the process of making disciples. When we limit the gospel to salvation only, we become people more focused on making decisions for Christ rather than being disciples of Christ (McKnight, 2011). There’s a big difference.

Reading Through the Gospels…Together

One of our prayers for 2017 is that the Lord would ‘Anchor Us.’ That He would anchor us in His unchanging Word. As our Crosspoint Culture says, “our foundation and authority is the Bible, the inspired, sufficient, true, relevant, living Word of God.” Much like growing in prayerfulness, we’d also all agree that we need […]
