CrossPointe Church: Columbus, GA

1. Sunday we dealt with a very important issue out of Colossians 1:24. The theme was the purpose of suffering. If you missed it, I really encourage you to listen to the message by clicking here. You may find the notes very helpful as well and you can find them here. 

2. We are gathering this Sunday at the new location to pray and show you the layout of the new space. The plan is to let everyone look around from 5:00p-5:30p and then have a time of prayer and worship from 5:30p-6:00p. Would love for as many of you as are able to join us from 5:00-6:00p.

3. Can I ask you to do something for me? One of my historical heroes is Charles Spurgeon. He was a pastor in London in the 1800’s. Some say he was the greatest evangelist and preacher since the Apostle Paul. His ministry was marked by great effectiveness and influence. He was quoted as saying numerous times that the secret to his fruitfulness was the prayers of his congregation. So, would you make it a point to pray for the staff team and me—that God would give us wisdom, courage, clarity, joy, and endurance? These next few months will be extremely busy times for the church and staff and we need the energy and wisdom that only God can give.

4. On that note, since we are in Colossians, a good Scripture to pray would be Colossians 4:3-4—“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.”

5. There is still time to sign up for our Starting Pointe Membership Class this Friday night and Saturday morning. If you desire to officially join CrossPointe, this class is a requirement. Email Hollie Farmer at if you are coming. Dinner is provided on Friday night.

6. Life Tip: When you come across somebody who really knows what they are talking about in a particular field, whether it is finance, plumbing, theology, parenting, etc., get to know that person and learn from them. Too many people skate through life never really getting good advice and learning from people who actually know what they are talking about.

7. I love you all and love being your pastor. My hope is to give the balance of my life serving to advance the Gospel through this little redemptive project we like to call CrossPointe Church.

Grace & Peace,

Brad
