This week on Storytellers, Dickson Campus Pastor James Savage teaches about tools that help us learn how to read the parables the way Jesus intended his disciples to hear them. We also apply some of these tools to the Parable of The Good Samaritan and hear a story from Cross Point Kids Director Paige Bumpus about how she’s seen a story similar to The Parable of The Good Samaritan play out in her own life.




* Questions to ask yourself when reading a parable:

* Are there any patterns taking place in this parable? If so, what are they?



* How might this parable help the disciples understand what’s happening in their ministry?



* How might this parable help me understand how God’s kingdom works?



* What are the repercussions of this parable on the way I live?







* The Bible Speaks Today: Matthew



* The Bible Speaks Today: Luke



* The Bible Speaks Today: John



* The Bible Speaks Today: Mark

Perspective shapes everything we do, and nobody understood this better than David during his time in the cave of Adullam. In this message we dive into Psalm 34, which was forged in the crucible of refuge and adversity, and learn five powerful lessons on gaining true perspective. 



In this message, discover how recognizing God as the main character in your story can transform your life. By seeking God in our private moments we can find a renewed sense of purpose and joy, grounded in the truth of God’s unwavering faithfulness. 

Unlocking Perspective In The Cave | Josh Reed  | Cave for a King | WEEK TWO


Years after his battle with Goliath, David had to flee for his life from King Saul, finding refuge in a cave. David went into the cave a kid and came out a king. 



In the first week of our “Cave for a King” series, Pastor Kevin makes a case for why we each need a “cave” – a place to step away and spend time with God. 



Time in a cave doesn’t change our circumstances, but it does change us. 

The Case for a Cave | Kevin Queen | Cave for a King | WEEK ONE


For Mother’s Day service, we got to hear a roundtable discussion with Rea Queen and five other Cross Point moms. In both this discussion and in Rea’s teaching, we learn how we can escape the rhythms of hurry, worry and weary by sitting at the feet of Jesus and seeking His presence. Pulling from Matthew 11:28 and Luke 10:38-42, this is a service for moms AND for everyone else!

Pause, Peace & Rest | Mother’s Day 2024 | Kevin + Rea Queen


In the last week of our “About Time” series, Pastor Kevin wraps up our study of Jacob in Genesis. 



God took Jacob back to the place of his greatest regret in order to heal him, because hidden wounds are the ones that never heal. 



Jacob’s story reminds us that God uses broken people, because the true hero of the story is God’s grace. 

Hidden Scars Never Heal | About Time | Kevin Queen | WEEK FIVE


We live in a culture that tells us waiting time is wasted time; we resist boredom at all costs. In week four of “About Time”, Pastor Kevin teaches about how God uses waiting to deepen Jacob’s trust. The work that God does within us while we wait is just as important as whatever we are waiting for – even when we are waiting, God is working.
