A new year always feels like a reset, a chance to start fresh and set goals. However, before we rush into resolutions, productivity, and plans for 2026, Scripture invites us to begin somewhere unexpected: rest.In this New Year message, we explore God’s rhythm of rest: from creation, to the Sabbath, to Jesus Himself; and why rest is not optional, lazy, or indulgent, rather it being essential to how we were designed to live.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKC

What if joy isn’t optional, but commanded?In this Christmas message from our Gather ‘Round series, we explore a surprising and powerful truth woven throughout Scripture: God doesn’t just invite us into joy; He commands it. From the feasts of the Old Testament to the birth announcement of Jesus in Luke 2, joy is central to who God is and how He designed us to live.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKC
