There are two words that for some reason are SO difficult to say. They’re difficult to say to your spouse. They’re difficult to say to your co-workers. They’re difficult to say to your kids. The two words: I’m Sorry. Why are these two words so problematic? One word: Pride There are few words that can [...]

My friends Jarrett and Jeanne Stevens are moving from Atlanta to start a church in Chicago called Soul City Church. They’re risking it all to chase the dream God has placed in their hearts. Just being around them right now makes my heart start beating fast. Many of you know this weekend is our Faith, [...]

I had the incredible opportunity yesterday to speak with Jeff Henderson at an event we put on for the staff at Cross Point and Buckhead church. Jeff said something that I’ve been thinking about a lot the past 24 hours. He said, “Nobody is responsible for your spiritual replenishment except for you.” When I’m running [...]

What if your grocery money could help get hungry children fed in third world slums, build churches and change lives for an eternity? It turns out it can if you shop at Kroger or a Kroger owned store. My friends Jeff & Vicki Rogers live in the inner city of Louisville, Ky and are missionaries [...]

Last week at the Volunteer banquet my friends, Merelyn Catron and Ron Hemby, sang an incredible rendition of Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. I sat there thinking about how many times I’ve dreamed of being able to nail that song in front of thousands (please don’t judge me). Let’s be honest, we all [...]

We made a pact with each other to be people who are fast to forgive. So much of our emotional volatility comes from relationship gone [...]

I’ve got a BIG announcement this morning. We’ve decided to broadcast our annual Volunteer Gala which happens tonight LIVE. Trust me when I say you won’t want to miss watching how we celebrate our volunteers here at Cross Point. It’s one of the most unique celebrations I’ve ever been a part of. We’ll be going [...]

Like so many of you I watched in horror as the news about the shooting at Ft. Hood started to spread. Apparently an Army psychiatrist allegedly opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 12 people and wounding 31 others. The event was a violent reminder that none of us get to choose how we die [...]

There are many different events we put on as a church. My favorite, hands down, is our Volunteer Appreciation Banquet. Once a year we roll out the red carpet in an attempt to find a way to say thank you to the thousands of volunteers that make Cross Point Church the special place it is. [...]

We’re in a series entitled Faith, Hope & Love at Cross Point where we’ve been looking at how God uses our faith to increase our intimacy and trust with Him. As usual I’ve found myself in the middle of struggling with the very topic I’m in the midst of teaching about. I’ve got a situation [...]
