CrossPoint, Are You Ready?

CrossPoint are you ready?

Are you ready to worship the Lord Jesus Christ?

Are you ready to give praise to Him who makes all things possible?

Are you ready to see the handiwork of God?
Are you ready to experience what it is like to worship as one congregation?
Again, CrossPoint are you ready?

My children and I visited The Point last night after supper. We went there to see what The Point looks like with 1400 seats in the gymnasium. To use one of my well-worn words—WOW!

You are not going to believe what The Point looks like when you arrive Sunday morning. It is a beautiful sight to see that many chairs in one room. The next best thing will be seeing the seats full of people.

Sunday is going to be an incredible day. The sound team is working overtime today to ensure everyone will be able to see and hear properly. Israel will be putting the final touches on cleaning the building. Of course, our office suite is still in disarray as we continue to move in our new offices. What’s really important, however, is that we will worship the Lord together as ONE CONGREGATION in ONE ROOM for ONE BIG WORSHIP.

I believe two things are necessary for CrossPoint to prepare for Sunday.

One, we must maintain the right perspective. Here is a little reminder that I think will help us do that—INAM! When we walk into The Point Sunday morning we must remember, this building IS NOT ABOUT ME! We did not build The Point for ourselves; we built The Point for the people we have not yet introduced to Christ.

Two, we must come to worship expecting the Lord to do something great. Just to be real honest with you, I do not think Sunday will be any different than most other Sundays we encounter at CrossPoint. Sure, there will be a certain level of excitement in the room because we will all be together for the first time. However, I expect the worship to be much like it always is—Spirit-led, Christ-centered and God-glorifying!

Yes, Sunday will be special. It will be memorable and meaningful. I see a day in our future when someone will say, “Do you remember when…” I trust you have your COMMITMENT ONE card is already filled out, signed and ready to turn in. I trust also you are praying for everything we do Sunday morning to glorify God. And, I hope you are excited about the enormous potential this building affords CrossPoint. So, I conclude today’s blog the same way I began it: CROSSPOINT ARE YOU READY?
