THIS SUNDAY!

Can't wait for this weekend at Crossroads! At 9AM in Cinema Three we'll be holding our ROADIES 101 Class. If you want to become a member at Crossroads, or simply want to learn more about the church - where we've been and where we're going - then ROADIES 101 is for you. Don't worry if you haven't signed up, just show up, grab a cup of coffee and head down the Filling Station hallway to Cinema three and ROADIES 101!

Sunday morning at 9:00 and 10:30 join us for Part Two of our current series DEADLIEST CATCH. If you missed last Sunday, make sure you listen to the PODCAST of Part One and you'll be up to speed on one of the most exciting and relevant stories in the Bible, the Book of Jonah. It's a story of running. It's Jonah's story, and it's your story, and it's my story. Every believer has been in the situation where we know God wants us to do a particular thing, make a particular decision, move in a particular direction...and just like Jonah, we resist. Sometimes that resistance can land us in some rather uncomfortable or downright painful situations. But often, it's only after a period of brokeness in our lives that we really begin to see clearly. And when we're focused on the right thing, we see that God allows things to happen in our lives not to dispense His wrath and punishment upon us, but - like a father corrects and disciplines the child he loves - because He loves us.

God doesn't want or need to pay us back. Payback was taken care of more than 2000 years ago on the cross. But as the Jonah's story demonstrates, Gode will go to extraordinary lengths to win us back, so He can bring us back. Have a great rest of your week! See you Sunday.
