The Purpose of The Crossing

basics

John 4:23

  1. Worship: to lift high the name of Jesus
    • A Living Sacrifice
    • We worship in Spirit and Truth
    • Our worship is to be Holy or set apart
    • Our worship is to be pleasing to God
  2. Grow: the gospel creates change
    • You were created for connection
    • Relationships matter to God
    • Together as the church, we can change the world
  3. Serve: you were created for serving
    • Serving Christ is the stewardship of all that God has given me to lovingly and sacrificially serve the body of Christ
    • To live out God’s full potential for your life, you must step out of the spectator stands and get in the game
  4. Go: you were made for a mission
    • I must share Jesus with those closest to me.
    • I must dare to reach beyond my comfort zone.
    • I must care about the entire world.
    • We have to shift our focus from local thinking to global thinking. 
    • A church that is not a missionary church will soon be a missing church.
