One of my favorite parts of my job is planning and leading our staff trips. We just got back from two days in the Smokey Mountains. We piled into a beautiful cabin and tucked ourselves away for some time to laugh, learn and grow together. Some of my favorite moments this year were: Campfire confession […]
There is never a boring day here especially when it comes to Sundays at Cross Point. When our team arrived at the Bellevue campus and powered up all the gear, our main amp in the auditorium blew up filling the stage with smoke. Our team quickly rallied to gather some other gear to make our […]
So good to be back at Cross Point this Sunday! We wrapped up our Empty Promises series… and yes, the rumors are true. We did use a Katy Perry song in our services yesterday. “Who Am I Living For” is a killer song that lyrically was a perfect way to end this series. I […]
So after three weeks I don’t think I’m going to get a pass any week of this series. It appears that I wrestle with all the idols thus far [sigh]. The Illusion of Money by Pete Wilson No one thinks money is an idol in their lives. Luke 12:13-15 Greed comes in so many different […]
I really don’t have a lot of additional commentary to give today because I’m still reeling from the kick in the pants Pete’s message gave me. Read at your own risk… at least we got my big idol out of the way early in the series. 🙂 The Seduction of Achievement by Pete Wilson Ecclesiastes […]
I realize I nearly always start my Sunday Highlights with something about it being a great day at Cross Point. I’m sorry if that sounds redundant and unimaginative but I truly do enjoy Sundays at all of our campuses. There are ALWAYS things that could be better, things that I’ll ask questions about or coach […]
Today we wrapped up the DNA series by having all of our campus pastors speak live at their respective campuses. I got to listen to their planning and rehearsals this past week and it was exciting to hear how they were each wrapping up our vision series by sharing stories and future plans for their […]
We wrapped up the Chronicles series today at Cross Point. I started out at the Nashville campus and then headed to Bellevue to celebrate baptisms at their 11:00 AM service. Today was our first baptism Sunday for this campus – such a special milestone. The reality of four campuses continues to be an interesting dynamic. […]
I had the privilege of spending my day at the Dickson Campus today. I’m really excited about this campus (which happens to be the one we’re interviewing for a Campus Pastor.) There’s a great spirit of community here and a passion to reach the city and county of Dickson with the hope of Christ. I […]
Here are my random thoughts, observations and insights from yesterday followed by Justin’s message notes. No matter what campus I’m at, I’m always missing the others and wishing I could be everywhere at once. I recognize that I wear my team out with details on Sunday mornings. Some things you just have to coach in […]
