It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a Sunday Lessons post.. sorry about that. We wrapped up the Better Days series at Cross Point today with a message on “Gratitude”… fitting of course for the week of Thanksgiving. Although it was the type of message that most of us will hear this week, Pete’s […]
Full-time ministry work is harder. It’s a greater sacrifice. It’s more difficult on your family. I often hear these sentiments either in word or in attitude suggesting that ministry work is more demanding than the average job. Frankly, I don’t believe it’s true. In fact, I think it’s a dangerous lie that sabotages ministry workers […]
Great perspective from another new friend… Being Last I moved my toes back and forth in my too-scuffed-to-be-professional-black-flats as her words came out, “Why do i feel like I’m the only one who deals with this/is a wreck/can’t get it right/wishes that things were different?” The room instantly erupted; none of us could hold it […]

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs […]
This weekend is one of my favorite events at Cross Point! Serving Saturday! A few times a year we put together a massive serving day where all of our campuses participate in serving projects all across the greater Nashville area. We partner with local ministries, non-profits and public schools to serve our community where resources […]
“Success is obedience to God, not results we can measure.” “When we obey God, we find great comfort in leaving the consequences up to Him.” I’ve been studying Beth Moore’s Paul: 90 Days on His Journey of Faith. I am so fascinated by the life of Paul. There is just so much of his ministry […]
