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 CrossPointeAt first glance, Romans 16:116 appears to be just a list of names and greetings and some final words by Paul at the end of this magnificent letter. While certainly this text doesn't carry the theological punch of much of the rest of Romans, there are some important truths for us to consider in this passage. Who is Phoebe and what can we learn from her about...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,These last few chapters of Romans aren't the most well-known parts of the letter, but they are filled with loads of practical wisdom and vitally important truth. In our text this week, Romans 15:1433, Paul focuses specifically on his ministry purpose and partnership with the Roman church. Clearly, the end of Romans is more administrative and logistical and...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,It looks like we've got just a few more weeks in Romans. Although we have two chapters remaining, I suspect we will be able to cover them in four or five Sundays. I hope our journey through this magnificent letter has been an encouragement to you. It certainly has been to me.Our text this Sunday is Romans 15:113. Much of it is a continuation and summary of...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,Our journey through Romans has given us many opportunities to talk about the freedom of the gospel. The Good News frees us from condemnation, the tyranny of sin, the spirit of fear, even death itself. Nothing will be able to separate believers from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Praise God!But he has done even more than free us from these things...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,I've missed you these last two weeks! Jennifer and I had a wonderful trip to the United Arab Emirates and India but we're glad to be home and look forward to gathering with you all this Sunday. Praise God for the Tyler and Robert's messages these last two weeks. I've been encouraged to hear from a number of you how you were helped by the Word preached. Pra...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,The Christian life is filled with highs and lows, joys and disappointments, excitement and regret. The Apostle Paul knew this well. In our text this Sunday, 2 Corinthians 2:1217, Paul shares a recent experience he had in a place called Troas. Despite what he describes as an open door of ministry in the Lord, his heart was restless.In addition to preaching ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sunday we are going to look at a well-known narrative in 1 Samuel 3, in which God calls to Samuel in the middle of the night. If you grew up in church it's likely you've heard this story at least oncemaybe you've even seen it acted out on a flannelgraph! But this narrative is so much more than a cool story about a boy being awakened from sleep by the ...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,On this one Sunday of the year that our culture celebrates the resurrection, it's been my custom to choose a text that is particularly clear about the saving work of Christ. We anticipate that a larger than usual number of unbelievers will join us Sunday, and my hope is to be utterly clear about the Good News. Of course, that's kind of my goal every Sunday...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,If you missed Tyler's message last Sunday on 1 Peter 2, I encourage you to listen to it here. It was an excellent, pastoral, and timely word.This Sunday we pick back up in Romans as we begin chapter 14. The issue at hand in Romans 14 is the difference of opinions between "strong"and "weak"Christians about whether they can eat certain foods or worship on ce...
