Challenges from the Holy Spirit: Luke 8:22-25; Matthew 7:1 2 and Chronicles 7:14

We are living in some of the most challenging, difficult, frustrating and confusing times. People’s emotions, relationships, fears, and sense of security are all over the place. During these times I have been asking God two questions: 1. God, what are You trying to teach me? 2. How should I respond? My prayer is that when we leave this place, the Holy Spirit will so speak that we will have a greater resolved to live daily with Jesus. Prayer: Lord, let Your blessings be upon the message today.

Life Lessons at the Jordan River Seminary: 2 Kings 6:1-7

April 12, 1981, I had this unnerving thought; “I don’t know what I am going to do with my life”. O wow! I wonder if I have any company in the room this morning if some of you have had thoughts like that! I remember the date well.

Corona Caroling

Here's some of the group caroling at their 2nd facility, Crossroads Church member, Alison Hargett has led a group to minister in a local assisted living center. They've led Bible School for the residents for a few years now and this has turned into a monthly Bible Study for residents with her, her daughters and some other moms and their daughters as well. In this season of social distancing and lockdown for assisted living facilites, Alison's group got creative and went, "Corona Caroling" last week. They sang outside the windows to the residents. The windows couldn't be opened but they sang loud and the residents loved it! They did a couple of songs with American Sign Language and brought smiles to faces. They've made plans with another facility for this coming week and look forward to doing this again. "We can't do our normal Bible Study but we figured out a way to bring them a little joy anyways!" said Hargett. Af...
