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, In our text this week, Romans 3:920, Paul wraps up his case against all humanity before a holy God. It's a stunning indictment in which he concludes that all the world stands before God with their mouths shut and no excuses to make. Admittedly, the language of this passage may sound harsh to our ears, but that's likely because we've been weaned more on s...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, This Sunday we have the joy and privilege of having as our guest Pastor Kaushal Kale of Kolhapur Bible Church in Kolhapur, India. I met Kaushal last year when Robert and I traveled to India to speak at a conference hosted by his church. This was all facilitated by Gareth Franks, who you'll remember is the missionary church-planter for whom Logan Copley s...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, I'm looking forward to this Sunday! Our text, Romans 2:1729, furthers God's case against fallen humanity. In particular, Paul takes aim at Jews who boast in the law and yet fail to live it out themselves. We may be tempted to cry, "Uncle!" and fast forward to chapter three, but there are some important truths for us to dwell on in the second half of Roma...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, Paul's argument in Romans 1 is clearno Gentiles can claim innocence because of ignorance. They are, as Paul says, without excuse, and their sins are obvious, shown by the list that concludes Romans 1. But in chapter 2, Paul now turns his attention to the religious, to those who think they are okay because they're not like those sinful Gentiles. We have ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, We'll finish Romans 1 this week as Paul continues to explain God's case against sinful humanity. In particular, verses 2632 explain how God gave mankind up to dishonorable passionsnotably homosexuality. Obviously, homosexuality is a huge cultural topic and matter of debate. While this text is not exclusively about the sin of homosexuality, it is one of ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, One reason we are committed to working expositionally through books of the Bible is because it forces us to deal with difficult passages that we might otherwise be tempted to skip. Our text this Sunday, Romans 1:1825, is one of those passages. In it, Paul moves from the righteousness of God in verses 16 and 17 to the wrath of God in verse 18. He then pro...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, India was a wonderful and fruitful time, but I've missed you! Looking forward to unpacking Romans 1:1617 with you this Sunday. Martin Luther says this was the text that brought him to true faith in and understanding of the gospel. He called it the "sweetest word" and "truly the gate to paradise," so I'm eager to work through it together this Sunday. See...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, While Brad is visiting our brothers and sisters in India, we're taking a break from Romans to look at texts from the Gospels. This Sunday Robert Ward is preaching through John 11, in which Jesus demonstrates his love for a family and raises their brother from the dead. It's appropriate that we'll also be coming around the Lord's Table this week, so prepa...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, While Brad is visiting our brothers and sisters in India, we'll take a break from Romans to look at two texts from the Gospels. This Sunday Will Hawk is preaching through Luke 7:3650, the story of a sinful woman who finds forgiveness from Jesus. Read and pray through the passage before Sunday to prepare your heart! And remember, tonight at 7:30 p.m. Cle...
