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,Good theology is important! If you've been around CrossPointe for any length of time, I hope you realize that! God gave us his Word and minds to think, and we should strive with all our energy to rightly understand what he has said. But, good theology was never meant to be a cul-de-sac. It's meant to take us somewhereto doxology, the right worship of God. ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sunday we'll look at the culmination of Paul'spoint that God is not done with ethnic Israel as we look at Romans 11:2532. There's a lot in this passage, including a few verses we'll need to work through carefully (i.e., What does it mean thatall Israel will be savedin v26?). Butthe overarching point I'm eager for us to see in this text is the truth of...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,The main point of Romans 11 is that God is not done with ethnic Israel even though a majority of Jews have rejected Jesus. Throughout time he's been preserving a small remnant of believing Jews, and he will save a great number of Jews in the futureall to the praise of his glorious name. In our text this week, Romans 11:1124, Paul addresses believing Gentil...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,I hope and trust your new year is off to a grace-filled start! First, I want to say thank you. Thank you, CrossPointe, for allowing me this two-month sabbatical at the end of 2018. Thank you to my fellow elders for their support and leadership. And thank you to the brothers who served us faithfully in the preaching of the Word in my absence. I'm grateful! ...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,What a joy it's been the past three weeks as we have studied and seen how our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our ultimate prophet, priest, and king. As Christmas Day approaches, it is fitting for us to study the birth of Jesus from Luke 2:121, and I am so eager to lead us in opening God's word to consider the gospel in the story of the first Christmas.I l...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,In our short series on the "offices" of Christ, we've seen how Jesus is our prophetand priest. Like the prophets of the Old Testament, Christ warns us of God's judgment and reminds us of his word. And like the priests of the Old Testament, he intercedes on our behalf, atoning for our sin as only he can. But there's a third office which rounds out our under...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,The Old Testament is filled with examples of men who imperfectly served God's people as prophet, priest, or king (sometimes maybe in two of those roles), but Christ perfectly fulfills all three.Last week, we kicked off our series on these "offices" of Christ with a look at how Jesus is the truer and greater Prophet. Do yourself a favor and listen to Tyler'...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,For the next few Sundays leading up to Christmas, Tyler and I will be looking at the three "offices" of Christprophet, priest, and king. You probably recognize those titles as important roles in the Old Testament, and our sermon series will consider the ways Jesus fills each of those roles himself.Our hope is that by seeing how Jesus fulfills these OT offi...

With Christmas right around the corner, Tyler and I are planning a series of sermons that will consider the three "offices" of Christprophet, priest, and king. We'll get that started the first Sunday of December.This Sunday, however, we'll be in 2 Samuel 6, a chapter about the gravity of God's presence. On the one hand, a m...
