CRY OUT - HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:
For this entire month of March leading up to Easter, we are crying out together as a church with a special emphasis on prayer and fasting. Here are the 3 key ways you can join in what God is doing!
(2x DAY) Prayer: We will stop and pray twice a day at 9:11
When the clock hits 9:11, Crossroads is stopping to cry out
together in prayer. Set a reminder for this time & join in!(1x DAY) Focus: We will agree together on a daily verse and prayer
Sign up to receive a daily txt & then cry out for the topics each day. To subscribe, just txt the following phrase with your preferred time:
pray 10:00am to 765-453-4626(1x WEEK) Fast: We will cut out in order to cry out
Choose something to fast from as a way to intentionally focus yourself on God in prayer. Learn more about fasting here: ecrossroads.org/cry-out-resources/
CRASH COURSE
This interactive 4-week group setting will help you grow in your faith and is the way to connect at Crossroads. Learn more and sign up at ecrossroads.org/connect.

Cry Out: Praising and Weeping
Luke 19:36-40
As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.
“Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”
But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
When you remember what God has done you praise Him for doing it!
Praise was never intended to be
Psalms 148
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,for he issued his command, and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the Lord from the earth, you creatures of the ocean depths, fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather that obey him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all livestock, small scurrying animals and birds, kings of the earth and all people, rulers and judges of the earth, young men and young women, old men and children. Let them all praise the name of the Lord. For his name is very great; his glory towers over the earth and heaven! He has made his people strong, honoring his faithful ones — the people of Israel who are close to him. Praise the Lord!
How
Luke 19:41-42
But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace.”
Crying out in praise includes crying out for others to join you!
Jeremiah 9:1
If only my head were a pool of water and my eyes a fountain of tears, I would weep day and night for all my people who have been slaughtered.
Romans 10:1
My brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.
Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”
Before you speak to someone for God, cry out to God for them!
