Encouragement? Yes Please!

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 […]

“Daddy, watch me.”

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 […]

No Greater Love

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 […]

Four Lies in a Growing Church

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 […]

God’s Ingenious Plan

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 […]

All because of Jesus, I am…

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 […]

From Ground Zero to Hero

From Kevin Funk… On May 21st the Ground Zero museum opened in New York. This museum is built where the twin towers once stood, but actually some of its core exhibits are built seven stories beneath the surface of the ground. With as much about September 12th as it is about 9-11, the Museum provides a case study […]

Devoted to Prayer

From Craig Swanson… In my last 3 blog posts, we’ve looked at the apostles’ teaching, fellowship and the breaking of bread (communion). The final thing that Acts 2:42 says they were devoted to was prayer. But what does that mean? Just the statement of being devoted to prayer is guilt inducing. None of us pray enough […]

Pride follow up…

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 […]

Decision Time

From Kevin Funk… I was recently driving with a friend of mine and his son while on the way to do some errands.  He said something that made me think “I wouldn’t have said that in front of a child.”  That got me thinking about what is it that helps us filter our thoughts and […]
