This Week at Cross Church | Problems, Israel, Family Worship Night, and Summit
Problems
This Sunday, September 14, we will continue our CHANGE sermon series with the message, “Change Through Problems.” Attend your Cross Church campus and invite someone to join you to hear what the Lord has to say to you from the book of Job.
Israel Is On
Our trip to the Holy Land is still on! Just yesterday, I received the following from Dr. Gary Frazier of Discovery Ministries, who hosts our trip: “Now that the conflict in Israel has ended, tourism is flourishing once again. The land is crowded with tourists from the world over with Americans leading the way. Israeli government sources tell us that the coming months should be quiet as Israel expects to set another tourism record in 2014.” I hope you’ll join us for this amazing trip of a lifetime. Jeana and I are so excited to spend these days with you. We only have room for 50 people to go with us and already have 20 signed up. If you have any questions, contact Gayla Oldham at gaylao@crosschurch.com or go here.

This Week at Cross Church | Exciting Thank You, New Series, and More
Each Thursday, I write this article specifically for our Cross Church Family, even though many others may read it. It is my joy to share these things with you today:
Exciting Thank You—Summer Program Giving Goal Reached!
On Memorial Day Sunday, we began a fifteen-week financial journey which concluded Labor Day Sunday. Our Summer Program of Giving budget goal was $4,950,000. This included not only our budget requirement for these fifteen weeks, but an additional $100,000 for camp scholarships.
I want to congratulate you, Cross Church Family, and thank all of you who were faithful in your summer giving. After this past Sunday, we have not only reached our Summer Program of Giving goal, but surpassed it. I am so overwhelmed to share with you that in these fifteen weeks, our Cross Church Family gave a total of $5,327,514 to our Ministry Budget, which exceeds our Summer Goal of $4,950,000 by $377,514. Wow! Praise the Lord! Thank you church family! Your giving has led to making a difference here, across America, and the world.
A New Series Begins Sunday: CHANGE
This coming Sunday, we will begin a new sermon series called CHANGE. This series will highlight biblical characters and experiences, lifting high the journey of how God changes us through various experiences of life. You will not want to miss it.
This series is relevant to both the unchurched and all Christ-followers, so please engage all people to join you. We will be speaking about:
- Change Through Calling
- Change Through Problems
- Change Through Understanding
- Change Through Prayer
- Change Through Failure
- Change Through Obedience
- Change Through Faith
Please join us Sunday as we begin this new series.
More: 3 Circles and How to Walk With God
Over the past two Sundays, we have taught you how to turn conversations about challenges and problems into conversations about Jesus Christ. We taught this through what we call 3 Circles. If you missed August 24, please watch our message from that day.
This past Sunday, I shared a message called, “How To Walk With God”, a very practical multi-passage message that may encourage you in your walk with Christ. I know many of you were away on this final holiday weekend of the summer, so please take the time to watch the message.
The more people we lead to Christ, the more we must disciple them in how to walk with the Lord. This is what I talked about this past Sunday.
Thank you, church family. I trust I will see you on Sunday.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd
