1 & 2 Samuel. Part two of a 4-week mini-series called "Lead Like a King" inside our 31-week series, "The Story". David's life began tending sheep, but God's purpose in life was to make him the king of Israel. Through a series of circumstances, God gave David an anointing, influence, people and, finally, a kingdom. How does this relate to the process of becoming a kingdom leader today and how can you best take the next step in the process?

1 Samuel. Part one of a 4-week mini-series called "Lead Like a King" inside our 31- week series, "The Story". We will take a look at 3 kings over these 4 weeks, the first being Saul. God gave him a clear mission but he blundered it by his undisciplined lifestyle, all the while faking the image of a true leader. How can we learn from Saul's mistakes as we seek to lead our family, friends, and the lost? What are the consequences of a life that's not truly taking the lead at all?

This week we look at the story of Ruth as a picture of how Christians should relate to the lost around them and to the nations. How should CrossPoint be a welcoming church for people who are outside of the Church in general and to Christ? How to we take notice of chance encounters, reach out to the rejected, and disciple them the way Jesus would?

This week we look at the story of Gideon as God chooses an unlikely hero to captain the army of Israel. The journey is by no means smooth or in a straight line but is instead a series of ups and downs, highs and lows. Through the mountains and valleys, God is always there, turning our mustard-seed faith into wonders that only He can do.

Joshua 1. Part three of a 5-week mini-series called "The Relationship" inside our 31-week series called "The Story".

Numbers 13-14. Part two of a 5-week mini-series called "The Relationship" inside our 31-week series called "The Story". When the Israelites approached the Promised land, they did so with some excitement but also dread as they looked at the giants in the land. We learn that when we look at circumstances, we'll be overwhelmed and start to lose our faith, which leads to rebellion. Who is this God who so desires relationship with us that, even when we rebel, He wants to carry us in his arms like a father carries his son?

Deuteronomy 4-6. Part one of a 5-week mini-series called "The Relationship" inside our 31-week series called "The Story". When God gave His people his 10 commandments, he intended for the Law to be written on their hearts, a sentiment that we see repeated throughout the rest of the Bible. If the perfect relationship between God and Man is all about "hear" and "obey", but we can't live it our perfectly, how do we obtain the righteousness that He offers?

But God was with him throughout every chapter in his life, blessing all that he did even through the ups and downs. How is God working in your life and how is showing himself to be in control of all things?

Genesis 14-22. Part three of a 5-week series called "By Faith" and the start of our journey through "The Story", a survey of the entire Bible in 31 weeks. We move on to the life of Abraham, centering in on the kind of faith Abraham had. He didn't always make the right decision but he ultimately stepped out in a true kind of faith that works. What does faith that works look like? What is expected of the believer who has true faith?
