Sunday Reflections

Wow! Yesterday was an awesome fun day!!! We had a great morning with many visitors and an overall good crowd. We were just a hair shy of my goal to have over 90 three weeks in a row, but with two weeks over 90 and yesterday at 85, I am not going to complain. I know it was a good day with God moving in people's hearts and lives when I preach for 66 minutes and get no complaints, not even from the children's workers! God is doing great things at Crossroads Church. He is constantly challenging us from His word to be more like Christ and to keep moving forward in faith. It is an exhilarating journey!

We had our bi-monthly staff meeting yesterday afternoon and, as usual, it was a good time together. I am so thankful for a group of committed individuals who love God, Crossroads Church, and me so much. Crossroads staff is a great team of individuals who are committed to being used of God to accomplish His purposes in Morgantown and in the world Thanks guys and gals for all you do to honor God and to do the work of ministry at Crossroads!

And last but definitely not least, we had a special service at the new building that we are about to buy. A big thanks to New Beginnings Church for allowing us to infringe on their space for a night. It was a great time together. We had 57 in attendance and I think I speak for everyone when I say, "we are excited." We have big dreams of what God has called us to do and therefore what He is going to do through us but we are presently excited about and enjoying the blessings of right now. Last night was a thrill to see what is very soon in our future and the possibilities that that will bring to us. We also used the night to re-issue the challenge to "Embrace Sacrifice" (our giving campaign title). We still need $20,ooo by the end of January in order for everything to move forward. We, as a church, must do everything we can, which definitely includes personal sacrifice, and then watch and see what God will do. We have already raised $20,000 and took in just over $1,000 last night. God is up to something big in Morgantown and He is going to use Crossroads Church to accomplish His purposes as long as we stay obedient and faithful! The Kingdom future looks good and we are resting in God's hands and trusting Him for the outcome as we continually press forward in faith!!!!
