QUICK NOTE: This Coming Sunday March 14th is 'Time Change Rebellion'. We will NOT change our clocks until AFTER 10am Worship! Usually when people look at a church, they often notice things like music style, sermon feel, various ministries, diverse people or a welcoming atmosphere. You might connect through a home group, a restoration team (like Friendship Home Repair or Financial Peace University) or a Bible study during the week. But programs are only what you see people doing. If you were to visit Crosspoint, Encuentro@Crosspoint (our Hispanic congregation) or our church plant in Powder Springs, I hope you'll notice that really, the driving force is our passion for what we call 'the gospel' - which means 'good news'.We have simply discovered the good news that God has graced us through Jesus Christ. We aren't better than anyone else. We are sinners and God granted us beautiful, strong purpose for living here and now through his son Jesus. We want all the implications of God's grace worked deeply into our souls, and then worked out in our families, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and our city. The gospel of Jesus Christ gives us boldness and humility to be who we are and do what we were made to do. We realize we are, at the same time, worse than we thought and more loved than we had ever imagined. We're welcoming, growing and training the diverse people of this city so that everyone in Smyrna, Atlanta and the world experiences the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Sort of like a bridge, we want to bring together people who are normally separated. Our deepest desire and vision is for God's Kingdom to come and His will be done in us and in our city as it is in heaven. Graced,
Jim Moon
Pastor P.S. People ask about Crosspoint all the time. So I asked a friend of mine who’s skeptical about churches in general to record our dialogue about four questions most people have about Crosspoint. I hope this gives you some insight into Crosspoint and its mission. |
