This Week at Cross Church | See You on Sunday
Looking Forward to Seeing You in Worship on Sunday
This Sunday, I will be preaching God’s Word at Cross Church. On Saturday evening, I will return from Israel with great anticipation and will be speaking on Sunday from the book of Romans. Our series, BY FAITH, has been splendid. I know last week in our absence, the Word was well-received. Always thank those who stand and proclaim the Scripture. We are so blessed to have these men of God.
Israel Has Been Special
A week ago as we left for Israel, we knew coming to this Land is always special. This time has been no exception. I am not sure how many times Jeana and I have been, but each time we are challenged, learn, grow, and fall in love with the Lord and His Word again in a fresh way. Today, we conclude the Epicenter Prayer Summit with Joel Rosenberg and Anne Graham Lotz. On Friday, we conclude our last day of touring in Israel. Please pray for this final day here as well as for safety and protection as our entire group travels back to Northwest Arkansas.
Reports from Our Vacation Bible Extreme
Over the years, God has been faithful to draw children to Himself using the avenue of our Vacation Bible School, and this year has been no different. We are praising God that across our four campuses, we have seen record-breaking attendance with over 2,300 children and Dream Teamers, hundreds of seeds of the Gospel planted, and dozens of children come to know Jesus as their Savior! Thank you to the many volunteers who have given a week to this worthy and magnificent task. Tonight, we conclude this incredible week as our Children’s Ministry staff and Dream Teamers will once again bring the gospel before both children and families at family night. Be in prayer as your church, BY FAITH, continues to reach the next generation for Jesus.
So Much is Before Us at Cross Church
As we invest in this ministry with our life, service, commitment, and resources entrusted to us by the Lord, I want to remind us we have so much more before us at Cross Church. Thank you for all you have done and are doing. Thank you in advance for what you will do in the future. As we are now mid-way through the summer, it is a good time to check out where you are in your financial giving to the Lord weekly. Now is the time to evaluate as we move toward our real goals of:
- Each member honoring the Lord weekly with at least the first tenth of all God provides financially.
- Each member demonstrating this kind of faithfulness for thirteen weeks of the summer from Memorial Day Sunday through Labor Day Sunday, regardless of where they may be.
- Our church will flourish in all the ministries of this summer as well as our most important ministry, which is day-to-day all year, reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ.
This is only possible with God’s blessing and leadership in our lives personally. Thank you again.
Pray for This Sunday at Cross Church
As we enter into the final day of this week, let’s pray for the worship services on each campus at Cross Church this Sunday. As well, pray for our people to invite others to worship. Finally, ask the Lord to open up gospel conversations through our people even before Sunday, and pray we see these conversations turn into strong personal commitments to Jesus Christ.
See You Sunday,
Ronnie W. Floyd
This Week at Cross Church | Summer Impact
109 People Baptized, 27 Surrendered to Full-Time Ministry
From the beginning of High School Beach Camp in South Carolina on Monday through the conclusion of Fireworks at the Crosses on Sunday, 109 people were baptized and 27 surrendered to full-time ministry service. We are so thankful that God met with our high school students in a major way and exhibited His power on Sunday morning and evening. The Lord is working through Cross Church.
11,000+ People on Our Campus on Sunday Night, 15,000+ Total in Nearby Parking Lots
Officials informed us they believe 11,000+ people were on our Pinnacle Hills Campus and a total of 15,000+ people watched our Fireworks at the Crosses including parking lots nearby. What a tremendous event. The rain earlier in the day resulted in an overcast sky, which brought the temperatures down comfortably. The music was outstanding and the recognition of our veterans was moving. The baptisms on that day are always so stirring and motivating. Thousands witnessed baptism and the sharing of the powerful gospel story on Sunday evening.
Faithfulness in Giving from Each of Us is Crucial in July
While we have seen our needs met thus far in the Summer Program of Giving, July is the biggest financial test of the entire summer. Meeting this challenge will take discipline from each of us to make the gift of the first tenth or more weekly regardless of where we may be. Please be faithful. Regardless of our personal financial level, we should each honor God weekly. Thank you for all you do to help Cross Church reach our mission of reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ.
Vacation Bible School Extreme Begins
On Monday, VBX begins on all of our campuses. Children 3 years old through 5th grade have the opportunity to experience God in a fun and exciting way. You will not want your children to miss this! Find out times for your campus and sign up here.
Now is the Time to Lead,
