Nobody Stands Alone

Have you ever been a part of a team that is firing on all cylinders?  That moment when everyone is preforming at his or her maximum ability and the plan is coming together perfectly? Maybe you have played in a band or symphony and remember that song where it all came together. Or, maybe you played on an athletic team that clicked at just the right time in a run to championship.

This weekend at Crossroads Church in Cranberry we are going to have fun on Super bowl weekend as we look at the greatest team God has ever created: the church. We will see that God has created us for a mission beyond ourselves, and that we will need a strength that is beyond ourselves to accomplish this mission. 

Join us Sunday for as we take a look at how Nobody Stands Alone! Also, wear you favorite football jersey and bring a non-perishable food item for our local food pantry!

"Get a Grip: On your Schedule" is a message I preached at Crossroads Church in Cranberry a growing community of faith in the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA. In this message we look at the importance of rest in our lives and God's Plan for pace of life!

Get A Grip: On Your Schedule

Whenever someone asks me how life is going, there is usually one word that comes out of my mouth, “busy. “ I’m busy!  Busy with church, busy with work, busy with family. I’m busy.  However, I usually follow it up with something like, “but it’s good.”  It’s all good stuff and I’d rather be busy than bored. 

This weekend at Crossroads Church in Cranberry we are going to look at how even the “good stuff” of our lives can be unhealthy if we don’t get a grip on our schedule.  On Sunday we will look at God’s plan for pace in our lives and see how warp speed can at times warp our souls. 

Join us Sunday as we continue our series, Get a Grip, and look at the importance of taking time to rest and rejuvenate our souls. 

Get a Grip: On Our Relationships

One of the greatest human needs is healthy relationship.  Studies show that 35% of adults are currently chronically lonely!  This need for community has only grown through the age of social networking because we are created to live in face-to-face community.  In fact, we are created by a God who is community himself! 

This weekend at Crossroads Church we are going to look at this issue more closely as we continue our series, “Get a Grip.”  On Sunday, we’ll explore the importance of relationship in the area of our spiritual growth.  Take some time this week to look at 1 Corinthians 16:1-24 at the relationship between Paul and Timothy and how this community spurred them on to grow closer to God.  Bring a friend on Sunday and we hope to see you there!

Get a Grip: On Your Attitude

What is your 2013 going to look like? Will you enjoy it, or merely endure it? Will it be a great year filled with growth, joy and meaning? Or will it be a slog through hassles, disappointments and boredom? So much of our future depends on our attitude.

This weekend at Crossroads Church we are starting a new series entitled “Get a Grip.” On Sunday we are going to look at the powerful influence of attitude in our lives and how, in many ways, our attitudes determine our actions. We will be studying the life of Elijah, in 1 Kings 19, and how God replaced toxic thinking in his life. This new attitude changed the direction of Elijah’s life and we will see on Sunday how a new attitude can redirect our lives as well.

Join us Sunday as we start out a new year and “Get a Grip” on our attitudes!
