Survive or thrive? šŖ“
Hello, Crosspoint!
There are hundreds of places in the Bible where Godās Word is elevated to a place of high priority, and rich examples are given for why itās so important to read it and apply it. Psalms 138:2 even tells us that His Word is magnified above all His Name.
Isnāt that incredible?! Godās Word is so important, but if weāre not careful, itās easy to forget to read the Bible, or when we do, the temptation can be there to find applications for everyone but ourself. So, here are some questions to give yourself a spiritual checkup this week.
Have you been in the Word lately?
How is God speaking to you, and are you personally applying what you are learning?
The difference between knowing something and applying something is the difference between surviving and thriving.
I want to be a thriving and blessed Christ-follower. How about you?

Starting in the month of October, there will only be one worship gathering each Sunday. That service will be at 10:30 am. In an effort to make the best use of our space and resources we are combining our Sunday worship gatherings since Covid space limitations are not currently in effect. This will give us more opportunities for other outreaches (like the ones mentioned below) for the time being.
October is a month for outreach!š
October 3 - SoCal Harvest
SoCal Harvest is going to be epic! One night only. Grab some invitations and a bumper sticker this Sunday. Bring your friends.

October 17 - Skid Row
We want to share the love of Jesus with everyone. One way we can do this is through outreach efforts in the community. On Sunday, October 17, we are going to give clothes and other needed items to people living on skid row in downtown LA. We would love for you to help.
Here are ways you can be a part:
1. Donate nice used clothes.
2. Purchase clothes and/or hygiene items. Here is an amazon link to a list we have put together. You can bring these items with you on October 17 or have them delivered to us at:
Crosspoint Baptist Church
1112 E Mountain Street
Pasadena, CA 91104
3. Help us pack the bags that we will give out on Skid row. Immediately following the service, we will take all the donated items and pack them in bags so they are ready to be handed out that afternoon.
4. Teens and adults, we would love for you to go with us as we give out these bags of supplies along with the Gospel. Weāll leave at 3:00 pm to go share Godās Word on the street, sing and give out the bags of donated items. Please sign up here so we can plan transportation.
If we are the body of Christ, let's be His heart, hands, feet, and voice!
Mark you calendar! š
