Sundays @ 10:30am
This Sunday we conclude our Malachi series with one of the great promises of the Old Testament. It is a promise of the great and awesome day of the Lord when he will come to judge the wicked and heal and save those who fear his name. Clearly, Malachi is pointing God’s people to the coming Messiah who will come first as a Lamb and again as a Lion. This text gives us the opportunity to think about judgment, salvation, and Christ’s return. These are essential truths, and I pray the Lord will use them to help make us all more ready for eternity. Also, on this first Sunday of October, we’ll receive the Lord’s Supper together as a church family. I hope that’s how you view CrossPointe...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,In Mark 3:20-35, Mark sandwiches a story within a (seemingly unrelated) story. Jesus' family thinks he's crazy and wants to seize him; meanwhile, the scribes accuse Jesus of being in league with Satan. The combination of these two scenes shows us how Jesus' enemies and even his own family wanted to subdue or limit Jesus.But, as Jesus himself points out, he...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,In Mark 3:7-19, Jesus begins forming a new community. Up to now we've seen Jesus' power and authority demonstrated, but now Jesus begins gathering disciples, teaching and sending them out to imitate himcalling people to repentance, healing, casting out demons, etc.We see that Jesus' ministry is not just about the individual's salvation and accompanying mir...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This week we are going to look at two scenes from Mark 2:233:6, which both involve Jesus being criticized by the Pharisees for his actions on the Sabbath, the day of rest. On the surface, it might seem like this dispute is just another example of nitpicking religious leaders, irrelevant to our lives today. But, as I hope we'll see, the issue underneath it ...
