Great 4th of July weekend at Crossroads! Here's a few quick take-away's:
- People made high quality life-changing decisions Sunday to trust Christ for the first time, and to renew their relationship with God! Nothing better than that!!
- Amazed at size of crowd for the 4th of July weekend! Way to show up big!
- The energy in the Lobby and in the Auditorium was AWESOME Sunday! People were amped to be serving and attending Crossroads and it showed!
- Kicked off brand new original series called "SUPER" on Sunday!
- Worship band rocked! Great worship set and then..."Perfect" by PINK?!?! Are you kidding me? that was FANTASTIC!! Clean version BTW, fit the message PERFECT-ly. I hear Nic, Janna and the band have something like that each week for the SUPER series! Can't wait.
- We talked about Moses Sunday (watch the message by clicking HERE), and we talked about how many of us view him as a "Bible Superhero". But looking into parts of Moses' life, and his interaction with God, helps us see that God isn't looking for our skills and ability when He calls us into action - He's looking for us to SHOW UP and trust Him.
On Sunday, we ended the service with this idea: FOUND people FIND people. We shared Jesus instructions from ACTS 1:8, and Paul's encouragement to recognize our responsibility from 2 COR 5. And we provided in your worship guide a place to write down the names of the THREE PEOPLE you were going to invite to Crossroads next week. If you weren't with us Sunday, I encourage you to watch the video of the message, write those names down, and invite BIG. This is not about "putting butts in seats". This is about you having something worth sharing. The #1 reason people attend church is become someone invited them. Think about the person that invited you. Now...go be that person in the life of someone else.
Have a GREAT week, and I'll see you (and your friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor, classmate, mailman, cashier, UPS driver, and the rest of those you invite to Crossroads) next Sunday!!
I whole heartedly appreciate Gene and Leslie and the team at Crossroads...this experience/journey/walk has given me new life...saved my 2nd most important relationship (wife)! Through the dedication of the Crossroads team, I have come to accept the one and only true elixir (finding and moving toward JESUS) that for me has enhanced every single aspect/area/etc of my life. As the leader of my household, this beautiful infection has taken hold with the rest of the family. Friends and Strangers are next! SUPER along with all the other brilliant, insightful, and very creative series have spoken to my situation and life specifically. I love Crossroads!...dan erskine and yes I do see my self as a "super hero"!
