  • No Empty Seat: The Power of One Invitation This Easter

    Send a text

    What if multiplying your faith was both the simplest and most profound mission Jesus gave us? In this thought-provoking conversation, we dive deep into Crosspoint Christian Church's guiding principle: "Reaching for Jesus Plus One."

    This isn't just a catchy slogan—it's a radical reframing of what discipleship looks like in everyday life. Following Jesus wholeheartedly while simultaneously bringing someone else along on that same journey creates exponential impact. As we unpack Luke 19:10, we see how Jesus himself modeled this approach: "For the Son of man came to seek and save the lost."
