Finish ‘25 and Start ‘26 with Joy! 🥳🗓️
Acts 20:24 “But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
As we step toward a new year, Acts 20:24 is an encouraging call to individually examine what truly motivates us.
Paul’s words remind us that a life anchored in Jesus is not driven by comfort, fear, or self-preservation. Instead, it is marked by faithful obedience to the call of God.
Paul did not measure success by comfort or finances or fame but by faithfully finishing his race with joy and remaining committed to the ministry Jesus entrusted to him.
For some, preparing our hearts for 2026 may be a realigning of our priorities. For others, it may be continuing steadfastly in the tasks we have already been assigned.
For all of us, it will mean laying down distractions, personal agendas, and even good things that compete with God’s best. When the gospel of grace becomes our focus, endurance replaces discouragement, and joy rises — not because the path is easy, but because the purpose is clear — and it’s worth it!
Nothing is more valuable than a soul.
As a church, may we enter this new year resolved to run our race well. Let us hold loosely to our lives and tightly to our calling, determined to testify — through our words, our love, and our obedience — to the grace of God.
May 2026 be a year where we finish every step, with joy, for His glory.
Mark your calendar! 🗓
Exciting things are coming to Crosspoint! See below for several of these opportunities to serve and grow together. Be sure to save the dates and be a part.
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
January 5 - 25
We are kicking off the year by connecting with our Lord and Savior in a powerful way - demonstrating (and being reminded of) our dependence on Him through prayer and fasting. Click here for fasting recommendations that will help and encourage you through these important, spiritually sharpening days.
Also, I would love for you to join with me in this Bible plan on the YouVersion Bible app. We can share how God is working in our lives through the fast and how He speaks to us through His Word and the devotional each day.
You could also gather a group of friends to join you in this plan. Click on this link and share the plan with your friends and family.
As always, if we can be a help to you, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here for you!
