Crosspointe Church of Christ

Sharing your faith isn't comfortable.  Yet, if we follow Jesus' example of the woman at the well in John 4, God will open doors and opportunities we could never imagine. All you have to do is ask. 

Is there a limit to love? Are there people we are excused from loving? If we use our logic, we can easily say, "Yes." If we read the Gospels, however, Jesus tells us the answer is, "No." We must impact the world one at a time by one expression of love at a time. 

Our words carry the power of life and death (Prov. 18:21). We must choose them carefully if we are ever to point people to Jesus. 

The church needs to develop a theology of party. Everyone, including Jesus loves a good party, so the people of God need to throw more! 

We're going to deal with question 1 of 5 on making better decisions and having fewer regrets.  This question is called "the INTEGRITY question." 

Since the easiest person to deceive is the person in the mirror, we can make bad decisions pretty easily. But, when we do the hard work of being honest with ourselves, we're on our way to not selling ourselves on a potential regret. 

The first question we should ask is: "Am I being honest with myself, really? 

We finish our "One" Series this week by recapping what we've learned, evaluating our own hearts, nd closing with prayer that will lead us to the night of prayer. 

This week we go back to our One. series.  We're going to zero in on how we, individually, must work with God to become one with Him, and to become unified with each other. If we aren't doing this ourselves, individually, then it does no good to speak about it. We must ask God to do the work, and if we commit to following Him, we will not fail. 

We're also going to look at critical parts of Church history that begin all this splitting and dividing that we've never recovered from. 

Ultimately, God makes us a spark, that we may set the world around us on fire with His glory. The challenge to the congregation is: Be the church you want to to be a part of.

The series "One." continues this week with the emphasis that to achieve biblical unity and oneness as a global Church, we're going to have to fight for it. It may seem contradictory, but sometimes to make peace, you have to go to war. We must also realize that different parts of the Body of Christ are passionate about different things than we are, and that's okay. We don't all have to fight for the same important things, but we do have to fight for holiness and unity.  Sometimes that means we have to leave some behind in order to show them a glimmer of what God has in store just around the bend.
