Dear CrossPointe,

Every time we end a series through a book of the Bible I feel like I go through a kind of withdrawal. I’ll miss 1 Timothy and hope it has been beneficial to us as a church. On that note, I feel a pastoral burden to share with you some of my reflections from 1 Timothy about our life together as a local church. So, this Sunday will be a bit unique in that I will not expound on a particular text, but rather seek to reflect and apply some of the key themes of 1 Timothy to CrossPointe as a body. I’m looking forward to it!

Next Sunday we’ll begin a short Advent series as we look at Christ in the Old Testament, and then we’ll begin Romans in the new year. Can’t wait!

Grace and peace,

Brad
