We are excited to announce that our Downtown Campus is worshiping in their new building today! Earlier this week, our temporary occupancy permit for the first floor was made permanent, but we are still waiting for approval to open the second floor. Our hope is for the final kitchen fixtures to arrive and be installed by the end of the month. At which point, we will begin hosting full children’s ministry and Celebrate Recovery programs on the second floor. Keep praying and stay tuned!
You may have noticed that our artillary range… err.. parking lot is under construction! Thanks to your Bold generosity, we were able to do a complete overhaul. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving, and please pardon the mess over the next few days!
We recently launched a church-wide Facebook group for you to connect with other people from Crossroads. It is a place for you to fellowship, encourage others, and grow outside of the weekend service. Have an uplifting story or difference maker to celebrate? Need advice, support, or prayer? Want to connect with other people from Crossroads and help them feel a part of things?
Request access today!
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.
The Crossroads App is the easiest way to connect with our church. Get quick access to sermons, prayer, giving, push notifications, event signups, and much more!

Declaration of Dependence
God never created you to be independent (from Him)
God’s desire for you is to be utterly and solely dependent on Him, alone
God wants you to have something far better than gold, and that is a helpless dependence on Him so that He may have the privilege (the right) of supplying your needs day by day out of an unseen treasury. — Hudson Taylor
Psalm 62:1-8 ESV
For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse. Selah
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Two Enemies of Total Dependence
