This Week at Cross Church | 40 Days of Faith Begins
Yesterday, our daily devotionals began for 40 Days of Faith. Please text “webelieve” to 313131 to receive your daily devotional. Additionally, you can pick it up in printed form on Sunday. The devotional is brief, encouraging, and challenging.
WE BELIEVE Sermon Series Begins Sunday
For the next six weeks, we will be preaching on WE BELIEVE: 40 Days of Faith. Built off of Hebrews 11, the sermon series will be the key part of our 40 Days of Faith. These next six weeks will be a fantastic time to engage new friends in the fellowship of Cross Church. Without faith, it is impossible to please God!
Mark the Date: October 23, A Day of Influence
Our emphasis on October 23 is A Day of Influence in all areas of our ministry on each of our campuses. This is a day where you influence the members of your small group ministry to be in church on this day. This is a day where you influence the members of our music and worship ministries to be in church on this Sunday. This a day where you bring people you have influence over in your life and those who have influenced your life. This is the day where each campus stands up with great influence for the glory of God in Northwest Arkansas. Mark your calendar for October 23. Make Sunday a priority.
New Ministry Budget Begins Sunday
Our 2016-2017 Ministry Budget begins this Sunday. Our budget goal this year is $18.8 million. This week, we celebrate the meeting of the 2015-2016 Ministry Budget. Our goal was: $18.1 million. Our Ministry Budget income this past 52 weeks was $20.8 million. We give God praise for blessing our people financially and we give God praise and a huge thank you to each of you for giving through the priority of our Ministry Budget, both regularly and faithfully.
As we begin our new Ministry Budget this week, for over two and one-half decades this Sunday has been called Prove the Tithe Day. This is a day where we ask each member and regular attender to honor God with at least one tenth of your entire weekly income. Annually, during this time, Jeana and I have increased our commitment to giving beyond the tithe or first tenth of our income. Join us by giving more beginning in October. Let’s start well and be faithful, and one year from now, we will celebrate how God has used each of us to further the gospel of Jesus here in Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world.
It’s All About Our Missional Vision
Everything we do is all about our missional vision: Reaching Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ. We accomplish this by going, baptizing, and teaching. This is what Jesus called making disciples. When we are faithful to do these things, we will be an evangelistic, Jesus-centered church.
See You Sunday!

Register to Vote Now
I believe November 8 will be the most pivotal election in our generation. There is so much at stake. On each Cross Church campus, you can register to vote. Be sure you do so before October 10 so you will be eligible to vote this election.
Church Adopts New Budget
This past Sunday morning, we adopted a new Ministry Budget for the fiscal year that begins October 1, 2016, and concludes on September 30, 2017. Our new Annual Budget will be $18.8 million. You have been so faithful to give and we are grateful to God for you. In this new budget year, join Jeana and me as we determine to give more through our Ministry Budget than we did the previous year beginning on the first Sunday of October.
This Sunday Morning at Cross Church
Intentionally invite someone to church this week. I believe God has a powerful word for us. We are ready to hear from Him. This is a pivotal season here at Cross Church. Pray. Attend. Invite. Serve. Evangelize. Give. God is working among His people, so let’s join Him in what He is doing.
Now is the Time to Lead,
