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,This Sunday we'll look at Mark 5:1-20, in which Jesus exercises his authority over a demonic legion by casting the troop of demons out of a shackled man, into a herd of pigs, over a cliff and into the sea.What a scene! But maybe even more striking than the pig slaughter are the various reactions to Jesus' authority by the demons, the townspeople and the po...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sunday we'll look at Mark 4:35-41 and the very familiar scene of Jesus calming the storm while on a boat with the disciples. This passage has much to teach us about the relationship between "storms" in our own lives and Jesus' power over them and purpose in them for our good. I encourage you to take some time over Thanksgiving to read this text. And, ...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sunday we'll look at Mark 4:21-34, which is connected to Jesus' parable of the sower that we looked at last week. Lest his disciples be discouraged that 3 out of 4 "types of soil" don't bear fruit, Jesus teaches them that the Kingdom, although it starts very small, will most certainly groweven if that growth is too gradual to perceive.There are numero...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This week we are back in Mark's Gospel, looking at the parable of the sower (Mark 4:1-20). This is likely one of the more familiar passages in Scripture and one that has many implications for us if we are to understand salvation biblically. I encourage you to read the parable slowly several times before Sunday and ask the Lord to give us humility and "ears...
