For the Crossroads community, this year has been nothing short of extraordinary. God has done so much in our midst. It would be unbelievable if we didn’t believe in the God of the possible! Looking back and pressing forward is the perfect year-end message for us as a family of faith and as individuals. As we rejoice in what God has done, we will also be encouraged to press forward into the new year. God has a plan for 2014 and we want to be in step with His Spirit. See you Sunday!

As we continue in our Cleaning series the focus now shifts to one of the most common experiences for humanity, the birth of a child. While a most exciting happening for a family, it is also a time of great concern for the well being of the mother and child. God, in His love for His people, has a plan to protect mother, child and the community.

The role of the priests was to help the people understand the difference between the pure and the impure, the holy and the unholy. The entire sacrificial system was based on the need to maintain purity and holiness. We eat to sustain our lives. Leviticus 11 gives us the unique dietary restrictions for the children of Israel.
