First Step

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Almost a year ago, there were a few of us who really believed that God could do more than we could ever imagine.  In fact, Eph 3:20 became our life verse and it’s still mine.  We would meet in our church office and I would preach and cast vision to about 20 people about what “could be” and “should be” here in Morehead, KY.  Now, here we are living out the vision that God burned in my heart a couple of years ago.  Obviously, we have not arrived yet but we are getting closer to turning this city upside down with the Gospel of Jesus and we are taking steps to reaching this dead and desperate region.

The first step we are taking is adding another worship experience.  We want to give more people more opportunities to hear the life changing message of Jesus.  By adding a second worship experience gives people more opportunities to serve and use their gifts as well.  So if you are not serving at Crosspoint in some capacity, right now is your opportune time.  I encourage you to find a place to get plugged-in and serve the Lord.

Remember, on Nov. 2nd our new times are, “10:00am and 11:30am”.  Please bring someone with you to one of our new worship experiences.  It is going to awesome!

Moving Forward…

On January 27th of this year, Crosspoint Church officially launched.  Throughout the last nine months, God has shown His favor on us and blessed us in ways we could not even imagine.  As a result, we’ve grown exponentially and space has become an issue.  Therefore, we’re taking action and anticipating that God is going to continue to bless us.  We currently meet at 11:00am on Sunday mornings at the Morehead Conference Center.  But on Sunday, November 2, our meeting times will change, and you’ll have two options to come and worship at Crosspoint. 

Here are the details….

  • Meeting times will be 10:00am and 11:30am.
  • Two identical worship experiences.
  • Kidspoint will take place during both worship experiences.
  • Now you have no excuse not to volunteer.  Click HERE to sign up!

Please continue to invite your friends and family to Crosspoint as we start another chapter in our short existence and experience another wave of blessings!

Keep believing!

No Limit

You have to be kidding me….341 people this past Sunday in Morehead, KY?  Wow!  God is up to something great here.  This past Sunday I talked about putting God first in your finances.  It was tense at times, but, at other times, well…not so much!  (You’ll just have to watch or listen to the message.)  Managing your money in a way that will bring glory to God and allow you to break free from financial bondage is all about priorities.  If this is something that you want to do, then the first step that I would encourage you to take would be to get on a budget.  I know…easier said than done.  But you gotta get your mind around how you’re spending your money and where you can cut back in an effort to pay off debt.  Here are some tools that I highly recommend.  I had the privilege of meeting Joe last month and he is the real deal.  I have never seen a man so passionate about helping people get out of debt.  Check out his free tools HERE.
 
Well, I’m off to the ATL….Catalyst Conference is going to be awesome!

Get Ready…

Last Sunday was an historic day for Crosspoint Church.  We had over 300 people in attendance for the first time, but more importantly, 3 people decided to follow Christ, and 16 people were baptized.  I kid you not, on Monday my back was hurting from pulling everyone up out of the water.  It was awesome!  I would like to thank all the Crosspoint staff and volunteers who helped create an off-the-hook, seamless experience for everyone who walked through our doors.  You guys rock!

Okay, majorly shifting gears here…
 
Has the slowdown in the economy affected you?  What about the high gas prices?  Are you having a hard time making ends meet?  Did you know there was a time just like now that’s described in the Bible?  The economy was bad, food was scarce, and a depression was on the horizon.  This Sunday we’re going to take a look at what God asked the people of that bygone era to do during those difficult times and see how that translates to what He might be asking you to do right now.  Come ready to be challenged, offended, and hopefully set free from financial bondage.  Don’t allow yourself to be a  “Hostage” any longer.
