We're kicking off a new series at Crossroads on Sunday September 13th called Home Improvement. I'm really excited about doing this original series again. We took our first shot at it some 18 months ago while our launch team was still meeting at the Annex. Now, a couple hundred more people will join us as we learn to walk out our faith in the toughest place there is to do it...at home.
If you're anything like me, it's so much easier to follow Christ at work, at play, and certainly at church than it is at home. But did you know this: there are over 2100 references to 'home' in the bible? That's three times more references than there are to work, church, rest or play combined! Why? I think it's because home is the most significant location in our lives. I don't know, but it seems like what we do at home is maybe who we really are, yeah? Seems like if we can learn to do a few things at home the way God designed for us to do them, every thing else will fall into place a little easier.
See, just like the church - the body of Christ - God wants your family and mine to be healthy and growing and full of love. This series is going to focus on how we communicate with each other, how we show love and respect for one another, and how we forgive each others faults. Pretty important stuff, if we want to be strong as a family and growing in love.
No matter what your family looks like, you will benefit from Home Improvement. We'll laugh at ourselves, and clips from the hysterical TV series, and we'll learn from simple but rock-solid biblical principles. Plan now not to miss a week of this important three-part series. See you Sunday!
