This Week at Cross Church | Thankfulness
What I am Thankful for in My Life
In this week of Thanksgiving, I want to testify to just a few things I am thankful for in my life. While this could be endless, I will be brief. I am thankful for:
- Jesus living in my life today
- Every day of good health I experience
- God’s calling upon my life
- Pastoring the same church for thirty-one years
- Kingdom opportunities afforded to me through the years, from serving as President of the Southern Baptist Convention to now serving as President of the National Day of Prayer
- Marriage to Jeana for forty-one years this coming December 31
- Our children and grandchildren: Josh, Kate, Peyton, Parker, and Jack; and Nick, Meredith, Reese, Beckham, Norah, and Maya
- The love our children, their spouses, and their children, have for Christ and His Church
- Both of my sons being difference-makers and investing in the lives of others
- Every person I have the privilege of working with right now
Oh yes, the list could go on and on. Thank you, Lord!
Thousands Provided Food for Thanksgiving
I am so thankful for the thousands in our Cross Church Family who have provided food for thousands of people in our region this week. This team effort has been such a legacy of faithful service to so many across the years. Cross Church is an amazing church that has huge arms of compassion and love for all people.
The Bible is What We Preach Here
In this day and time when so many are watering down the Bible and its message, I am so thankful that our church does not. Right now in our Home for the Holidays series, we are in a text-driven message series that talks about what God says. This past week, we talked about a very delicate, but biblical subject: What God says about the bedroom. In this age of sexual revolution, we need to know about sex from the Bible’s perspective. If you missed Sunday, take the time to watch here.
I Love You, Dear People
Thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve you and with you. You are a great people of God. You are a great church! I love you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

This Week at Cross Church | Blessing Baskets This Weekend
This Past Sunday at Cross Church
This past Sunday at Cross Church, Dr. Nick Floyd preached for me at the Springdale and Pinnacle Hills Campuses, while Dr. Jeff Crawford preached for our Fayetteville Campus. Jeana and I were away speaking for the Hawaii Baptist Convention. She and I invested in a lunch time gathering speaking to pastors and wives, and I brought the keynote message for an evening session. While there, I was able to do an interview, and have a meeting with the volunteers of the National Day of Prayer over Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands. It was a real blessing to be part of the Hawaii Baptist Convention. The Lord is doing a great work on the Islands and beyond through the Convention. It was a very quick trip, but a beneficial one.
This Sunday at Cross Church
This Sunday at Cross Church, we continue the series, Home for the Holidays. This text-driven series will lead to one exciting Sunday. You will not want to miss it as we travel room-by-room through the house each week. This week, we discuss the bedroom. Do not miss what God’s Word speaks to us about the family in relationship to this subject.
Blessing Baskets Weekend Ahead
This weekend is our assembly and distribution for Blessing Baskets. If you have not yet, sign up to help assemble and/or distribute. It may just be a bag of groceries, but it can mean so much more to a family who does not have the financial resources to have a holiday dinner. We are also able to share the love of Jesus, which has more value than anything else in this world. If you haven’t yet sponsored a family and would like to, you still can! Go here to sponsor a family or sign up to help with assembly and distribution.
