At CrossWay yesterday we had the second week in the series “i am second.”  This week’s message was “How to Love Someone to Death.” We started with this testimony from Chris Plekenpol.  Then we read Romans 5:6-8 and Matthew 5:43-47.  These two passages are summed up in Ephesians 4:32, which says to “be kind to Continue reading

Easter Sunday at CrossWay was great!  We knew that Easter attendance is usually higher than normal, but it was a LOT higher this year–easily the most people I’ve ever seen at this church on a Sunday. We launched a new series called “i am second.”  The idea comes from the website iamsecond.com.  We watched the Continue reading

At CrossWay yesterday I preached a message called “Living in God’s Will.”  It was actually from the Real Life series we did last fall, but I missed sharing it then because I was sick. Whenever we’re faced with a tough decision, we often seek God’s will.  We want to know what it is He wants Continue reading

God wants us to share the good news as we do good deeds.  That’s delivering the goods, and that’s what we talked about yesterday at CrossWay Church as the fourth installment of the series Life On Loan. The Christian life is a lot like show-and-tell.  You can tell people anything, but if you can show Continue reading

Yesterday was the second week of the series “Life On Loan” at CrossWay.  The subject was “Merging Your Passions With God’s Purposes.” The “Big Idea” for the week is that God gives us what we need to partner with Him.  Like a good fastball hit right on the sweet spot of the bat, God throws Continue reading

Every year at this time we have things we do to prepare for Christmas.  We go Continue reading
