The longer I go…as a member of a church.

The longer I go as a member of a church and a part of that church’s local family, here are some things I have grown to appreciate and value more and more. The longer I go, the more I’m grateful for those not knit together and gifted like me. Because in the variety of personalities, […]

The longer I go…in preaching

I’ve been in a lead preaching role for over 7 years now. And the longer I have gone in that role, the more certain convictions and beliefs have risen to the top of my heart. Here are five of them. The longer I go, the more I love and trust the Word. Maybe this seems […]

Beloved, His Commands Are Not Burdensome

Dear friends, That’s the phrase that John used often in 1 John. Dear children…beloved. It reflects the love he has for the people he is writing to, the people who he loves because Jesus has first loved us. The target audience that John was writing to were believers in Christ, people who had confessed that […]

‘Oh just wait’

We often heard when we were dating, ‘Oh just wait till you get married.’ As if when you get married, then all the romance is obliterated and shot to pieces. When we got engaged, we heard the same thing. Again, as if walking down the aisle was more less a walk toward the death of […]

Love One Another Well

1 John 2:9-11: 9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the […]

The Trap of the Fear of Man

Proverbs 29:25: Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Are you a people-pleaser? Prone to say or do things just so that others will be pleased with you? Do you struggle to say the word ‘no’ to people, because you don’t want them to be disappointed with […]

To ‘Fear God’ Means…

“Fear God.” This command is given over 100 times in Scripture. It is referenced 20 times in the book of Proverbs alone. To fear God means that we live our entire lives in reverence to, or in a sense, with our knees bowed before Him. So if you were to drill it down a bit […]

Kingdom Partnership

Around Crosspoint, one thing we talk about is that we desire to have a Kingdom mindset. That we’re not out to build Crosspoint’s Kingdom, but God’s Kingdom. We’re not in competition with other churches that preach the Good News and who are founded and built on Jesus and His Word, but we’re in partnership with […]
