From time to time someone will ask me about the Cross Point Dickson campus we planted back in January of this year. Why would you guys take the time, expend the energy, transfer the resources, hire the staff and train the volunteers, to plant another campus west of Nashville? Why?
While one reason would be enough, I’ll share with you 11 reasons I experienced Sunday afternoon while at the Cross Point Dickson picnic.
Luke 15: 3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
