Here’s a few of my favorite pictures from this Christmas season. As always, I’m so thankful for you being a part of this blog community. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!! Love you guys, Pete  

*I know many of you who read the blog live around the world, therefore you obviously don’t attend Cross Point. However, you’re often asking how you can pray for me or the church, so I like to keep you in the loop of what’s going on around this amazing place. Below is a letter I [...]

  Read this amazing passage this morning that I wanted to share with you. John 1: 14-18 14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15( John bore witness about him, and cried out, [...]

I make no bones about it. Our Christmas services are my favorite and this year is no different. I’m so looking forward to celebrating this time of the year with you guys. I’m also incredibly thankful to the hundreds of volunteers who sacrificially serve and even take vacation time in an effort to make this [...]

  I’ll admit. I’m on the bandwagon. I love watching Tim Tebow. It really doesn’t have so much to do with his faith as much as I just think he’s electrifying out on the field. There are other players I love watching on Sunday whose off the field actions absolutely appall me, but I still [...]

I think there’s a growing and disturbing trend in the church today. There’s often this assumption that spiritual maturity is happening if you’re attending more services this year than last year.
