Read more "God: Help and Hope"From Rohn Peterson… As the elections draw closer, I ran across a verse in Ecclesiastes that will help people know how to vote in November. Ecclesiastes 10:2 says “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.” There you have it, a biblical endorsement to vote […]
Read more "Peace Amidst Politics"As Christ followers, we are following and learning from the One who came not to be served, but to serve (Matthew 20:28).

Read more "In your marriage, do the little things"Around Crosspoint, our volunteers truly are at the heart of what we do.

Read more "Running Through the Pain"From Kevin Funk… In one of my first blogs I talked about taking Jesus with you on vacation. It’s still one of my most fondest memories hearing the voice of God as I came back from San Diego. Flying back into Peoria, God said “I missed you”.

Read more "Don’t forget your sword!"From Matt Wiegand… As our boys go back to school, Tiff and I have been praying for them. We pray for them to be courageous, bold and have open ears to learn.
