Brand-New Purpose
May 11, 2025Jump to What’s Happening at Crossroads
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:20-21)
Brand-New Purpose:
1. I am Christ’s .
Ambassador: The highest ranking diplomat, representative of another kingdom or country, sent by the ruling authority, to promote and protect the interests of the sending kingdom.
16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. 17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. (Colossians 3:16-17)
2. I have the of the One who sent me.
19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy … (Luke 10:19)
3. I wasn’t saved by my good –> I was saved for good
Saved people people.

What’s Happening at Crossroads

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
We want to honor moms with a bouquet bar. We also recognize that today may be a day of sorrow and pain for some. We pray you feel the comfort of God today. There will be a special moment in the gathering where you can acknowledge any heartache as we celebrate how important moms are to us!
SUMMER GROUPS
God designed each one of us to be connected to others. It’s an essential component to a growing faith. At Crossroads, that connection happens through groups. This summer we have a round of interest groups starting June 1st. There are groups for pickleball, women’s fitness, couples, digging into The Chosen, and more! We always have ongoing groups that you can jump into any time. Find out more and sign up.
WORSHIP NIGHT
We believe that worshiping God is a big deal. We are having a Worship Night on June 8th at 6:15 p.m. at our South campus. Come ready to worship the Lord. We believe there’s great value in our kids watching how we worship so we encourage you to bring your kids as there will not be childcare offered.
FAMILY EXPERIENCE
We want to partner with you to impact your child’s faith. Crossroads South campus Elementary will be having their Family Experience on Sunday, May 18th, at 9:15 and 10:45 gatherings. Adults are required to attend with their elementary students. Alternate programming will be available for students who attend both gatherings. Come for donuts, family fun, and faith talk
