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...

Dear CrossPointe,This Sundaywe'll begin our look at the second half of Romans 7, one of the more debated sections in all of the letter. In these verses, Paul describes from a first-person standpoint his battle with sin. The question through the centuries has been whether the "I" he speaks of is pre-conversion Paul or born-again Paul. The arguments for both are good and imp...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sundaywe continue to plod through Romans 7 with a look at vv713. In this text, Paul's intent is to show that it is sinnot God's lawthat is to blame for mankind's predicament. (We're getting into the meat of Romans 7 now, and more than ever you'll benefit from reading the text several times beforeSunday.) This thick and weighty paragraph gives us a gli...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,It's so good to be back in Romans! Last week we looked Romans 7:16 and what Christ has done for us in regards to the Law. As he says in the Sermon on the Mount, he doesn't abolish the Law but fulfills it on our behalf. Because we are united to him, all that he has done is ours. This is staggering!But we have some unfinished business in these first six ve...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing you allthis Sundayas we get back into Romans! Specifically, we'll begin to unpack chapter 7, one of the more challenging and debated chapters in the whole letter. The issue at hand is the role of the Law in the Christian life.I know I say it often, but this is not a text that you want to hear taught on without ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,As 2017 draws to a close, I'm filled with gratitude for the Lord's grace these past 12 months and eager with anticipation for the year ahead. In April, we'll have been a church for 13 years! When I take a moment to reflect, it seems like a lifetime ago when we first started meeting in the Old Mountain Hill Schoolhouse, yet at times seems like it was yester...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,I'm looking forward tothis Sunday! Our main text will be just one verse, 2 Corinthians5:21. This one verse contains an enormous amount of truth and we'll spend time thinking deeply about the implications of the fact that the incarnate and sinless Son was made to "be sin"for us so that "in him we might become the righteousness of God."Amazing!Looking forwar...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,I hope each of you had a blessed Thanksgiving day with friends and family. We indeed have so much to be thankful for as a church. Before we launch into a busy December, consider taking a moment to think about how kind God has been to you and to us as a church. Set aside a few minutes to look through our member directory and write a note to that person who ...
