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 week we jump back into Romans 4, specifically vv1315. Paul makes a spectacular statement in verse thirteen when he says the promise to Abraham and his offspring goes far beyond just the physical land of Canaan but rather encompasses the whole world! This may seem like an obscure thought in the middle of Paul's argument about justification by faith, ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, Mark 9 serves as a ballast. At the transfiguration we are brought joyfully into the coming glory of the Son, but we also see the weight of sin and the grim future for those who trust in their own righteousness. We are not allowed to simply sleep on grace! The death and resurrection of Jesus resides within the tension of unspeakable horror and unfathomab...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, This Sunday our text is Romans 4:912, in which Paul continues to drill down into the life of Abraham as an example of justification by faith. In particular, he discusses Abraham's circumcision as evidence that right standing with God has always been by grace rather than works. There are some meaty truths for us to chew on this Sunday. Looking forward to ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, This Sunday we're back in Romans as we begin chapter four. In our text, Romans 4:18, Paul continues to establish that we are justified by faith in Christ, not by works of the law. To make sure his audience understands what he is saying, he zeroes in on the life of Abraham to hold him up as an example of this great truth. This would have been massive to h...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, We finish up Romans 3 this week with a look at verses 2731. In this passage, Paul summarizes his argument and reiterates that all people, whether Jew or Gentile, are made right with God through faith apart from works of the law. And yet, the law is not null and void, but rather it continues to instruct the Christian in how to live for God. Take a few ...
Keep ReadingCrossPointe, We've been marinating in Romans 3:2126 for the last few weeks, and for good reason, as many consider this paragraph to be the very heart of Romans. This week, we zero in on the last two verses, which give us a glimpse into the God-centeredness of God. This ideathat God's primary motivation is the display of his gloryis not one that we come to naturally. But ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, I'm looking forward to celebrating the Resurrection with you all this Sunday! In God's kindness, we find ourselves in one of the clearest and most gospel-saturated texts in the Bible for this Sunday, Romans 3:2224. Our plan is to stare deeply at the glorious truth of how we've been justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Je...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, This Sunday we arrive at one of the most concise and clear explanations of the gospel ever writtenRomans 3:2126and it all starts with "But now," two of the sweetest words in the Bible. In this passage, Paul transitions from the problem of sin to the glorious solution of Christ's work for sinners. It will take us a few weeks to get through this paragraph...
