This Week at Cross Church | “Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him”, An Expositional Christmas Series from Luke 1 and 2
This coming Sunday, we are beginning our Christmas Series! Yes, we are only 56 days away from Christmas Day!
Why I am excited about this new series
I am so excited about teaching and preaching this new series, yes, a Christmas series! Why?
- It will be an expositional series: This series will come directly from Luke chapters one and two.
- It will be a preparational series: This series will help you prepare for the greatest season of the year, the Christmas Season!
- It will be a helpful series: This series will challenge you personally and continually.
The Word of God is so powerful! I am convinced that we will together adore Him, the Lord Jesus, like never before.
What will come from Luke 1 and 2 over the next few weeks?
For the next several weeks beginning on Sunday, we will teach God’s Word, Luke 1 and 2, expositionally. Here are the titles of the sermons you can look forward to at Cross Church:
#1: Breaking the Silence
#2: Mary’s Christmas
#3: The Other Christmas Baby
#4: The First Thanksgiving
#5: “Unto us a child is born…”
#6: Christmas: The Promise Fulfilled
You will hear much more along the way!
I Stand Sunday
On November 2 at 6:00 p.m. (CT), Christians across America will join together for the I Stand Sunday event. This event will signify that we stand with the pastors and churches in Houston, Texas, who have been unduly intimidated by the city’s leadership.

Time Change
Saturday is time change. As we “fall back”, don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour when you go to bed Saturday night.
Pray for me along the way
Today, I am in New Orleans, ministering at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. One of my most challenging schedules faces me beginning this Sunday. Following my preaching here at Cross Church on Sunday morning, I will minister through next Friday in the following cities: Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Cincinnati, and Memphis. Then, after I minister here again on Sunday morning, November 9, I will be in both Louisiana and Oklahoma in the same day.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd

Special Guest Testimony on Sunday from Naghmeh Abedini
This Sunday, I will interview one of the most unique personalities you will find internationally. Naghmeh Abedini is the wife of the Iranian American Pastor Saeed Abedini, who has been imprisoned for his faith in Iran since 2012, and is now serving an 8-year sentence. This will be a powerful experience for Cross Church. Do not miss it.
We will also preach God’s Word, holding up our great God and those who have exhibited faith in Him.
Cross Church, Let’s Stand Up Together
Let’s stand up together in this significant moment. We need to stand together in unity, prayer, and mission. Let’s not let anything distract us or divide us in our hearts toward God, His church here called Cross Church, and in our mission of reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd
