Dear CrossPointe, I'm really looking forward to this Sunday. We'll be in 1 Thessalonians 1 again, specifically verses 610. I've been studying this text all week and there are some beautiful truths and connections I want us to see. Specifically, we'll be thinking about what true discipleship looks like, how it is linked to joy, and how it should lead to evangelism and witn...

Dear CrossPointe, This afternoon I will be traveling to Uganda with a team from CrossPointe to partner with the ministry of (un)adopted alongside Pastor Raphael and King Jesus Church. I encourage you to take a moment to watch this short video about the ministry, Pastor Raphael, and his church. Pray for our team's outreach in this community, particularly among these vulner...

Dear CrossPointe, After our long journey through Genesis, it looks like the next book we'll work through is 1 Thessalonians. The plan is to start that mid-June after I return from the Uganda mission trip. Until then, we'll do a few individual messages. This week we are going to look at John 12:4243 and what I believe is one of the greatest obstacles in the Christian life...

Dear CrossPointe, I'm looking forward to returning to Genesis this Sunday with a look at the story of Joseph resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife (Genesis 39). In short, the example Joseph sets for us in this chapter is incredibly important to consider. We live in a world full of counterfeit carnal pleasures that seek to drag us into destruction, and we need to arm o...

Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday, our study of Genesis begins to focus on Joseph, the favored son of Jacob. Our text will be Genesis 37, and from here until the end of the book we will zero in on how God uses the envy and betrayal of sinful brothers to bring about the rescue of those same brothers. Ultimately, these chapters are not just a morality tale about one particular ...

Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday will present the end of an era: Jacob's time in the spotlight of Genesis is drawing to a close, and he still has some unresolved issues. (Don't we all?) Most notably, the vow he made to God in Genesis 28 remains incomplete. Will Jacob go all in and worship the one true God? And after all that took place in Genesis 34, will God even allow it? ...

Remember to "Spring" forward one hour on Saturday night!Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday we'll look at Genesis 34 and consider one of the worst scenes in the Biblethe rape of Jacob's daughter, Dinah, and the vengeance of her brothers. It's a sad and dark chapter, to put it bluntly. Take some time to read through it several times and consider what the Holy Spirit wants to tea...

Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday we'll jump back into Genesis after a few months away. Specifically, we'll be in Genesis 28, which tells us about Jacob's dream and encounter with Godan incredible scene that has much truth for us to consider! Since it has been awhile since we've been in Genesis, I'd encourage you to watch these two short 5-minute videos that do a great job o...

A summary of Brad's message from Colossians 1:1-14 on December 28, 2014 entitled, "Seven Prayers for CrossPointe for 2015."...

Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday we'll inch a little further up the summit of the greatest chapter ever written as we look at Romans 8:3132. In these two verses, the Apostle Paul's logic is simple, yet monumentally powerful for the Christian. God did not spare His Son, the greatest treasure in the universe, in order to redeem a people for His glory. If He did this for us wha...
