This Week at Cross Church | The Spiritual State of Our Union in 2016: America Must Come Back to God
This past Monday, I released an article called The Spiritual State of Our Union in 2016: America Must Come Back to God. It has been picked up by several news sources and the Lord has used it. I do hope that you will take time to read and share it with your friends and family members.
God is on the Move in Cross Church
The Lord is on the move in Cross Church. We have several exciting things ahead in every realm of ministry. Please note these important upcoming events and take time to learn more about them. Let’s also pray for them together.
- January 31, Special prayer services on each Cross Church campus to conclude our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.
- February 5-7, FREEDOM WEEKEND: A weekend-long event for students featuring speakers Ed Newton and Brian Mills.
- February 12, NIGHT TO SHINE: Cross Church is partnering with The Tim Tebow Foundation to host this wonderful event to celebrate and love our friends with special needs.
- February 14, I LOVE MY CHURCH DAY: A Sunday to rally all adults in our church and in our region to worship the Lord with us.
- February 15, THE FERVENT TOUR: A women’s battle plan for victory! Using her signature dynamic teaching, Priscilla Shirer will share keys to experiencing the power of God in personal and practical ways.
- February 20, NWA BEAST FEAST: A night for outdoorsmen to come together for food, fellowship, the gospel, and to hear from guest speaker Spook Spann.
- February 26-27, NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MEN’S CONFERENCE: Held on Friday night and Saturday morning to rally all men together for worship and challenges from the Word of God. Pray for speakers: Steve Gaines of Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee; Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas; and Ted Traylor of Olive Baptist Church, Pensacola, Florida.
Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things
Missionary William Carey was credited with the terrific phrase: “Expect great things; attempt great things.” Our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting that began this past Sunday will lead us to expect great things from the Lord. It is an epic time for each of us as we attempt great things together. If you are not with us yet in this journey, there is still time to join us.
Weekly Worship Service and Small Group Ministry
It is vital to your spiritual health to be involved in a weekly worship service at Cross Church. Yes, you can stream it live or watch on television, but God’s full intent, if you are physically able, is to be engaged in your local church weekly through attending a worship service and participating in a small group. These two things are essential to a flourishing spiritual life. Please engage weekly.
Pray for Sunday!

This Week at Cross Church | Believing God in 2016
Cross Church Family, let’s believe God together for great things in 2016. God is at work in our lives, in our church, America, and throughout the world. We need to prioritize our walk with Christ in this influential year. Either our own nation will begin to embrace the ways of God again or we will move away from God even further.
21-Day Journey with God 
I want to challenge you to find your place and level of participation in our upcoming 21-day journey with God. If you missed this past Sunday, please, please, please watch what I shared on Sunday morning. Our 21-day journey of prayer and fasting will begin Sunday, January 10 at sunset and conclude after our morning services on January 31 at noon. Each of our eleven services on all five campuses on January 31 will be given to prayer. Please do not miss any of this. You may need to enter in and depart a few days due to travel or previous obligations. Work those details out with God. The bottom line is: at whatever level you can go with us, come on and go. See all the possibilities and sign up here.
Thank You for Giving in December
I am so thankful to God for you. We have just concluded our greatest year of December giving in our history. Thank you to thousands of individuals that are members of hundreds of our families who have walked in biblical obedience. For some who have not been a part of this, please join us in this journey of seeing the hand of God prevail in our lives.
As we enter into 2016, let’s continue on this path of giving. The blessings of God are upon us personally and collectively when we give to the Lord biblically and faithfully.
Do Not Miss Sunday
Please join us on Sunday. Each of us need to be involved in worship and a small group weekly. These two things plus volunteering for ministry opportunities will ascend your personal faith in the Lord.
Pray for Our Church!
