Why We Give – “the gift of giving”

God calls us to be generous with the money He has given to us. We are to generously, faithfully, and cheerfully store up our treasure in Heaven, and invest it into God’s work in God’s Kingdom. Here are two testimonies from Crosspointers who are giving to God’s work in and through the ministry of Crosspoint. Be […]

Encouragement to Disciplemaking Parents

Around Crosspoint, we talk often about how parents are to make disciples of Jesus at home. I believe as parents, we are prone to often skip over our own kids thinking they will get it by simply living in our homes. The reality is that as parents though, God’s plan A is that we would […]

T-E-A-M

Why I Serve – Rohn and Karen Peterson

Around Crosspoint, our volunteers truly are at the heart of what we do. Without our volunteers, God-glorifying, life-changing ministry just wouldn’t happen. So why do our volunteers serve?

Why I Serve – Kevin and Kristi Funk

Fathers, do not embitter your children

Colossians 3:21: Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Now the Greek word here for Father is also used elsewhere to refer to both parents.

Colossians 3:20: Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. This is a sweeping, all encompassing statement isn’t it? Obey your parents in everything. In the Greek the word everything, means everything. You can’t escape this one students. So ‘everything’ includes your parents’ boundaries and rules on things such as technology, friendships, […]

Husbands, love your wives

Colossians 3:19: Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. The word for love here in verse 19 refers to the kind of sacrificial, self-giving, I-will-lay-down-my-life kind of love. A love that was best modeled and displayed by Jesus Himself. Just a few verses earlier in Colossians 3, we see Paul talking […]

12 Stone Memorials

Verse 1 begins with this… Joshua 4:1-8: When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, 3 and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of […]
