This Week at Cross Church | “Signs of the Times are Everywhere” Series and More
This Sunday, we are beginning a new four-week series entitled SIGNS OF THE TIMES ARE EVERYWHERE. This will be an expositional series from Luke 21. With all that is going on in our world today, we believe this series will teach and encourage you, as well as move us toward an incredible PASSION WEEK emphasis beginning the last Sunday of March. We do hope you will join us Sunday.
MIGHTY MEN
We have some fabulous men of God speaking at our Northwest Arkansas Men’s Conference. I am looking forward to hearing from:
J. D. Greear, The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
Steve Gaines, Bellevue Baptist Church, Cordova, Tennessee
Jimmy Scroggins, Family Church, West Palm Beach, Florida
Make plans now to attend, and begin inviting others to join you. Find out more information and register here.
PRAYER IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE
Jeana and I would count it a privilege to pray for you in the Garden of Gethsemane. If you have a specific prayer need you would like for us to pray for personally, in your family, your business, or your future, send a specific, two-sentence email to us at pastor@crosschurch.com.
CONSISTENT WEEKLY SUPPORT
I want to ask each of us to evaluate our weekly, consistent support of Cross Church in:
- Attendance in Worship and Small Group
- Giving to our Ministry Budget and Reaching Our Mission
- Volunteering for service weekly or periodically
How are we really doing in each of these three areas? At times, we think we are in better shape than we are in reality. Only the facts and the reality report tells us how we are doing. Let’s evaluate this honestly. Then, let’s take the needed actions to correct any areas we may discover are just not where the Lord would want them to be. Thank you for your willingness to do this.
We are so grateful to God for all the Lord is doing through Cross Church. He is alive and well in, through, and over this ministry. What a joy to be a part of this fellowship. Tell the story. Invite others regularly. Pray for Sunday.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd

This Week at Cross Church | We Are Moving Forward
We are moving forward at Cross Church. From the blessing of this past weekend on I Love My Church Day, we launch toward our incredible future together. I want to list several ways we are launching forward together:
1. Our Men’s Conference is going to be epic!
Our Northwest Arkansas Men’s conference gets better every year. Our speakers will be tremendous and all generations will love them. You will hear:
J. D. Greear, The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
Steve Gaines, Bellevue Baptist Church, Cordova, Tennessee
Jimmy Scroggins, Family Church, West Palm Beach, Florida
These are great men of God who will share a special message. The dates are Friday night, March 6, and Saturday morning, March 7. You can find more details and sign up here.
2. Praying for you in the Garden of Gethsemane
When Jeana and I are in Israel, we would love to pray for a special need you may have personally, in your family, your business, or your future. If you have this desire, you may send that need to us at pastor@crosschurch.com. It must be specific, and limited to two sentences. Our time in the Garden of Gethsemane is brief, but last time we took the time to pray for a few hundred people and their specific need by name.
3. Easter is April 5, only six weeks away from this Sunday
Easter weekend is pivotal in reaching out to all of Northwest Arkansas. Begin to ask God now whom you can bring to one of our worship services on Easter Weekend. Easter Weekend, we will have services on Saturday and Sunday.
We will build toward Easter beginning with Passion Sunday, and Passion Week will precede the glorious celebration on Easter Weekend. Also included in Passion Week will be our incredible Friday night gathering that wraps up all teaching and worship prior to celebrating Easter weekend.
4. Next Sunday may change your life
This is a little bold, but next Sunday will be an incredible gathering of God’s people. Hundreds of our people will have fasted and prayed the previous seven days, and our focus on the Lord will be special. We will also celebrate communion.
This could be the day when God brings breakthrough in your life, our church, and in America. Do not miss it. Bring others with you. God will meet with us.
Finally…
Please take the time to read this powerful article by my dear, respected friend, Dr. Al Mohler.
