Crossgates Family Christmas - "The Lord's Supper"
December 20, 2020
Why do we take the Lord’s Supper on this Family Christmas celebration? The birth of Jesus is nothing more than the obscure birth of a Jewish peasant boy without the Crucifixion…The crucifixion of Jesus is nothing more than the foolish death of a deceptive teacher without the Resurrection…BUT, because the Resurrection is a FACT…The Crucifixion becomes our Atonement for Sin! The Birth becomes the Incarnation of Immanuel! So, we gather to recognize this miraculous Incarnation by stepping into the purpose and power of His Crucifixion and Resurrection!
Gathering with Believers...Why?
May 31, 2020
We are SO EXCITED about us resuming our gathering together on Sunday, June 7! Temporarily suspending our services was a difficult choice…But choosing who, when, and how we resume our gathering together has been equally difficult! Listen as Bro. David tells us our Restart plan of joining back together for On-Campus Worship.

• If you are a believer, then surely by now you know how much the Lord values the journey in each and every one of our lives. • The journey is what is supposed to prune us for our destination which I hope for everyone in this room means to spend eternity with our Savior Jesus Christ. • Most of us are familiar with some sort of weight loss journey and whether you succeeded in that or not you felt the difficulty of that process. • And if you were the one to succeed and met your goal then there are habits and safeguards that you have permanently made a part of your life so that the journey would not be wasted. • Speaking of journeys, there are several of us that fasted in January. (Tell story of my first ever fast…) That’s gotta be a world record for worst attempt at a fast. • But for tonight, I wanted to talk with you a little bit of what I fasted for this past January and why I did it.
