How are YOU "Connecting"?

Over the last few weeks, and for the whole year to come, Bro. Ryan will be preaching on the “Process” of CrossPoint. Do you know what it is yet?

Connect to God. Connect to God’s People. Connect to God’s Plan.

What stage of the process are you in? Connecting with God is the first stage and you do that through 1. Personal Worship (your daily walk) and 2. Corporate Worship (coming to worship services on Sunday morning). Many Christians are connected to God in those ways. The second stage is Connecting with God’s people by being involved in a Bible Study class at CrossPoint. If a “CrossPointer” is not plugged into a Bible Study class at CrossPoint, then they are not yet connected to what God is doing at CrossPoint. Only coming to the Worship Hours at church does not allow you to connect to what is going on at CrossPoint~you have to be involved in a Small Group, or a Bible Study class, to connect with God’s people. And it’s through the help of our Bible Study classes that we become connected to the third stage of the CrossPoint Process and that is Connect With God’s Plan. As Bro. Ryan says, God’s plan is SIMPLE: He wants you to be a minister in His church and a missionary in this World. You have to have a place of service at CrossPoint, and a mission to serve the world.

So where are YOU? Have you accomplished the first step? If you’re reading this blog, it is likely that you are actively participating in our Bible Study class, so you are CONNECTING TO GOD’S PEOPLE. And if you have a place of service at CrossPoint…then you’re done, right?
WRONG!
The process doesn’t stop with you completing the third stage…you now have to go and find JUST ONE MORE to help them CONNECT With God, CONNECT With God’s People, and CONNECT With God’s Plan. So, here is what we ask of you: How are YOU connecting? If you’ve completed the three stages, WHO is your Just 1 More? Be thinking of who God wants you to connect with: at CrossPoint, at work, in your family, in your neighborhood, a friend, or a total stranger. Be prayerful of the person God wants you to reach out to. A great opportunity to invite them to Family Ties is coming up on our “PACK ‘EM IN” Sunday, February 18th. We want to have a record attendance in class on that day, and it’s up to YOU to make that happen. REACH OUT and invite someone to class-anyone! Someone you haven’t seen in a while, someone who is searching for a church home, someone you work with, someone in your family, and especially someone who is lost! It’s your job to help them begin the process:
Connect with God,
Connect with God’s people,
Connect with God’s plan.
