This coming Sunday is another one of those days I will remember for a long time. When we started Crossroads Church we wanted to accomplish a lot of things, one of the things I wanted was to be part of a church that does not do things as they had always been done. Now don't get me wrong...

Last Sunday we looked at "Why do I do the things I don't want to do?". BIG QUESTION! I apologized to those who were there, especially in the 10 a.m. worship, for cutting the message short but promised to share the rest with you...

"Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven." Genesis 28:16-17 I often hear stories about people going to this place or that place because it is holy...

Today was a wonderful day for our church. There has been a lot of hard work and planning that paid off today. We were able to unload and were prepared in time for our first service at 8:30 and had the trailer loaded by 11:45. It was great to see everyone serving and getting involved in the fun...

This Sunday we will be looking at the the account of Jesus washing the disciple's feet in John 13. I am fascinated by the simplicity and strangeness of this event. In the last few hours before being arrested on his way to the cross, Jesus stops and washes the disciples feet...
