Dear CrossPointe, I've been saying that Romans 8 is the greatest chapter in the Biblemore than thatthe greatest chapter ever written. If we were to think of the Bible as a mountain range, Romans 8 would be the Mount Everest that towers above all others. And if Romans 8 is the Mount Everest, verses 2839 would be the summit. This Sunday we'll begin to scale that summit.The ...

Romans 8:2627, "The Spirit Helps Us Pray" Dear CrossPointe, Last week's text was both encouraging and soberingencouraging because we can be sure that God's suffering children have an incomparably glorious future, but also sobering because we are in the middle of dealing with the reality of suffering in this life. So, our future is certain, but what about now? What help ...

This Sunday, Wayne Shealy will preach through Romans 8:1417, an important text on the nature of the Christian's relationship to God the Fatheradoption. Then, on Sunday night CrossPointe will host a round table to help us consider how Christians can live this out by caring for orphans through foster-care and adoption. If you are personally interested in adopting/fostering ...

Dear CrossPointe, This Sunday we'll take a break from Romans 8 to hear from David Baum about the upcoming church plant. David has been part of our team for the past year or so and has been preparing and gathering a core group from CrossPointe to launch another Christ-centered, Bible-believing, gospel-cherishing, mission-oriented church in our city. David has preached sev...

Dear CrossPointe, We continue our journey through the greatest chapter ever written this Sunday with a look at Romans 8:58. In much of Paul's letters and writing we see clear imperatives and instruction, though these verse are more descriptive than prescriptive. It is an explanation of the contrast between the regenerate mind of a Christian, who is led by the Spirit, and ...

Genesis 2324, "A Bride for Isaac" Dear CrossPointe, Super solid message by Wayne last week on Genesis 22. If you missed it, I encourage you to listen to it here as Wayne guided us through one of the most important chapters in Genesis. This week we'll cover a large chunk as we look at Genesis 2324. These two chapters form a transition from Abraham to Isaac. In chapter 23...

"God Fulfills His Promise," Genesis 21:134 It's been a rough few chapters for Abraham, but this week in Genesis 21 we celebrate the fulfillment of God's promise to him years ago. There is much for us to mine from this chapter as this becomes a picture for us of God's faithfulness and his ability to bring his promises to pass. As always, read Genesis 21 a few times. Pray ...

Dear CrossPointe, As always, that was a superb message by Will Hawk last week on Genesis 18. Full of convicting and encouraging truth. If you missed it, be sure to listen to it here. This week we continue with a look at Genesis 19 and the heart-wrenching account of Lot's rescue and Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. Probably one of the most distorted and misunderstood asp...

Dear CrossPointe, Our text this week is Genesis 16:116 and the story of Abram and Sarai's impatience and attempt to help God fulfill his promise through Hagar. Their compromise inevitably leads to strife, and yet God is merciful to all parties involved. The implications for us are numerous and point us to a God who hears us in our distress, sees us in our pain, and ultima...
