ACCOMMODATING JESUS
Are we accommodating Jesus? … or does Jesus accommodate us?
No matter our history or spiritual origin, we can all feel abandoned and alone. We think we know what we need – though maybe it’s not always best. We wonder if God really understands or is even in touch with all that’s going on down here on planet earth.
Believe it or not, God has something better for us in store.
Join us as we explore our true identities as God’s phenomenal sons and daughters, and get a glimpse of the love of a Father who will do nearly anything to re-connect with his children.

In the kick-off week to this series, Lead Pastor Curt Walters dives into one of the first pictures of grace, redemption, and sacrifice that we read in the Bible. When Adam & Eve decided to mess the whole thing up and eat that piece of fruit, it set a course of devastation in motion. But, GOD, out of love for his children, sacrificed one of his creations to cover their nakedness. Grace. Sacrifice. Forgiveness. Redemption. All through the simple act of making clothes from an animal. All of those attributes, and showing that GOD has them for all, is part of the mission of Crosspoint. Listen as we celebrate our 5th birthday and attempt to learn a little more along the way.

This week Curt looks at the “patriarch” of our the Hebrew nation and the choices he made to follow GOD’s direction in his life. Abraham made some decisions to follow GOD when it seemed crazy. When GOD asked Abraham to “sacrifice” Isaac, Abraham knew that this was a typical ask for the “other gods” of the day. But when GOD stepped down and intervened once he saw Abraham’s faithfulness, it changed everything.

This week things were shaken up a little bit as Curt explored the importance of GOD’s running after people. At Crosspoint, we want to be about what GOD is about, and GOD’s all about people. So, listen in to the setup of the tour around Crosspoint that every person that gathered in the auditorium went on to discover the importance of every role a volunteer plays in the life of Crosspoint. Everyone saw every role, found out if they were interested in those roles and had the opportunity to sign up to serve in those areas. It was a big win kind of day for the life & livelihood of Crosspoint.

Jesus’ entire life was an accommodation. From his birth… taking on a form he didn’t have to… to his death for our redemption… we see Jesus’ life being majorly about people. He lived with them. He walked with them. He befriended many of the people that society rejected and we did, he brought restoration to them. This whole idea that the church has used for years to explain Jesus is relationship. And by looking into what we know of Jesus’ life, we know that he cared “a whole awful lot” about the people he was with. His relationships were accommodations. Listen is as Curt dives into this simple yet profound truth.

WK 267// 040112 // HEALING MIRACLES #2
Jesus understood how to work in and thorough a crowd. When people of Jesus’ day heard of miracles it didn’t take long for a crowd to gather. And Jesus knew that when a crowd gathered, there was the opportunity for people to hear. But it was more than that. When Jesus took the time to heal an individual of their afflictions it got personal and when things get personal the real miracle happens in the heart of the one being healed. Sometimes that healing looks totally different than what any of us would expect. This week Curt interviews 2 women from the XPT tribe that have battled or are battling cancer. Each service one of them shared how their personal and communal stories have been shaped by healing. Listen to either or both services below.
