Crossing Community Church

Following Jesus will cost something. Christ said so and history has demonstrated it true. So what compels someone to forgo the comforts, desires and attractions of this life to follow Jesus?

Watching loved ones suffer can leave us with uncertainties about what we understand about God. This week we learned that Scott Brubaker, one of our Elders, has to undergo brain surgery to remove a mass. We set aside our plans for the service and spent our time reflecting on how God might be using Scott's illness to deepen our faith.

There are many rewards of following Christ but in our sermon today we focus on three of them. In addition to these three we also look at what we shouldn't expect from our walk with Christ -- for all things to work out the way we think they should!

An ebenezer, a memorial of God's power and provision. Today we learn about how God provided our church campus. We were also encouraged to consider instances in our life when God had powerfully acted and raise an 'ebenezer' to memorialize that event.

This Sunday Greg Shipley teaches from Matthew 9 about compassion. what is it? Why don't we extend it to others? How Christ helps us extend the compassion He gives to us! This Sunday also features the testimony of Bob W about how the Experiencing God study has effected his life.

The relationships and people in your life are there for a reason. God is at work among them and anxious to work through you and I to impact their lives.

Self-centered living is always at war with a God-centered life. One of the benefits of living a god-centered life is that we choose to seek God's perspective in our circumstances. This makes all the difference in the world when it comes to going through difficult times and suffering!

Many of us get intimidated when we think God would have some huge task to entrust to us. But in reality, the most major work God wants to do is one IN us! Do we overlook that?

This week we begin a new sermon series based on Henry Blackaby's book, "Experiencing God." Our first sermon explores whether the question of God's will for my life is really the right question to be asking at all!

Although Chris had recently lived in North Carolina for several years, his family wanted to have a memorial service for him in Bucks County, PA where he had grown up. Chris's love for life gave us many stories to share and memories to relive. We also encouraged each other with the promises of Jesus Christ, that He had welcomed Chris into his eternal heavenly home -- and that same welcome was waiting for all who know Christ as their SaviorIf you were unable to join us for Chris Raymond's Memorial Service you can hear all of the service but the musically portions of it here.
