All believers, as members of the body Christ, must be serving together in order for the body to be fully functional. That’s why a church needs teacher, helpers, servants, givers, etc. When the believers discover and actively use their spiritual gifts there will be numerical and spiritual growth in the Church. So this week Pastor will cover in the “Heaven’s App Superstore” series another topic submitted by the congregation—“The Gifts of the Spirit”. Although not exhaustive, this week we will look at what the “gifts” are, the importance of their discovery, and the impediments to their discovery. So, be ready to listen, learn, and obey the prodding of the Holy Spirit.

“In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ Then you can tell them…” These words were written of the children of Israel during the journey to the promised land. Throughout the Bible, the Lord reminds people to tell all generations of their Lord’s wonderful works. Part of what that means for us as a church is that we must preserve the memory of how God has worked in our lives. A church that has a strong sense of its history will have a better sense of identity to build on for the future. Such a celebration gives individual members the opportunity to join together in focusing on the church as a body of believers who have been blessed by the Lord. This Sunday, Anniversary Sunday, we will pause, reflect, and celebrate God’s activity through Crosspointe. We will glance back in time to remember the history of this congregation-remembering who we are and where we have been. And at the same time we will look to the future, remembering what we have been put here to do and where we are going.
