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,It was a blessing to hear from Herbie Newell last week. If you missed it, be sure to listen to his sermon, "The God Who Seeks the Outcast,"here.This week we're turning our attention to 2 Peter 1, in which the apostle exhorts his readers to be fruitful in the knowledge of the Lord. What is this knowledge? Where do we find it, and how can we steward it faith...

Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This last Sunday before my sabbatical begins, I will be preaching from Colossians 1, specifically focusing on Paul's prayer for the church in verses 914. In this message, my goal is to expound the textand then apply it to our life together as a church. I will also spend a few moments sharing my heart about where we are as a church and my hopes for us in th...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,On these last two Sundays before my sabbatical(Read more about that here.), my plan is to preach two individual sermonsone in the Psalms and another in Colossians. This Sunday we'll be in Psalm 42, a beautiful and raw song about hoping in God in the middle of dry seasons and dark nights. I'm hoping the psalmist's experience will help us practically apply t...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe, Can you believe we've been a church now for nearly 14 years? Week in and week out, people come through our doors and hear the Gospel faithfully proclaimed. Many have come to faith through the ministry of our congregation, and as our membership grows we continue to see the fruit of God's faithfulness to his church. Let's praise the Lord together for his g...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,Last Sunday, one of our elders, Doug Duncan, informed the church about my upcoming sabbatical starting early November through the end of December. The Lord has been so good to us as a church these past thirteen years! However, it has become evident that I need to develop healthier rhythms of rest and renewal from the grind of pastoral ministry that will he...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,This Sunday we'll finish up Romans 10 as we consider verses 1421. In this passage, Paul further explains the unbelief of Israel and very clearly lays out the steps necessary for a person to come to saving faith in Jesus. This is remarkable in light of the truths about God's sovereignty in salvation that he has been so clear about in Romans 9. And yet, as w...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,I'm looking forward to digging into Romans 10:513 with you and coming to the Lord's Table together on this first Sunday in October. In our text, Paul uses the Old Testament (specifically Leviticus 18:5 and Deuteronomy 30:1114) to show the futility of pursuing righteousness by law-keeping rather than by faith in Christ. We'll also spend some time trying to ...
Keep ReadingDear CrossPointe,We made it through Romans 9! What a chapter! Maybe the deepest in the whole Bible. This Sunday we begin Romans 10 with a look at the first four verses. Verse 4 says that "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." This summary statement is massively important, and understanding it correctly is crucial to understanding redempt...
