Is it just me, or did December arrive overnight? There is something special about December though. The world would have you believe this time of year is for shopping, decorating, eating, and receiving that perfect gift, but we have already received the perfect gift. God loved us so much that He sent His one and only son to come to earth and be born as a baby. God sent His son to save us from our sins so that we…

Happy Thanksgiving CrossRidge! I am so thankful that you are a part of our church family. We have so much to be thankful for. When things are going exactly the way we would want, it’s easy to be thankful and show gratitude. Fortunately, we can be thankful in all things, even the hard times, because God is always good no matter what is going on in our lives. 1 Chronicles 16:34 says, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is…

Ur-gen-cy noun 1. importance requiring swift action. Where is the urgency in your life? As the Faith Builder in your home, you should be living with a sense of urgency. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Are your children a “whoever”? Have your children accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior? If not, where is your urgency in making sure that your children know…

Did you enjoy playing the game follow the leader when you were a child? Following the leader as an adult is a whole new game. I don’t know about you, but I am pretty excited about our new sermon series. I loved hearing about Joshua and the journey to get to the Promised Land. I love the instruction, hope and encouragement that we get from God’s stories. I loved being reminded of how faithful God is to fulfill His promises.…

It’s Fall y’all. It’s even starting to feel like it outside. As we gear up for the approaching holidays, I think the beginning of Fall is a great time to check our attitudes. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Here are a few activities you can do with your children to help there be an attitude of gratitude in your…

CrossRidge Church just finished our sermon series through the book of Titus. We learned just how much better we are together. We learned how important it is to do church the right way. We also learned about the importance of doing good works.  Learning is great, but putting what we learned into action is even better. Paul emphasized good works in the book of Titus. Titus 3:14 says, “And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so…

This year is flying by. There is still time left to get things done the last four months of the year. Let’s not just do them though, let’s do them well. Let’s do them as Colossians 3:23-24 tells us to, “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people,  knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.” Let’s take this opportunity…

A week. 7 days. 168 hours. 604,800 seconds. That’s a long time to go from Sunday to Sunday and being in God’s house together. I don’t know how I even make it some weeks! Fortunately, that is about to change. That’s right, our Fall semester is right around the corner. Mark those calendars and clear those schedules because starting September 6th we will get to be together in God’s house with God’s people during the week. Our Fall semester will run…

Back to school! Back to school! The Summer seemed to fly by and now it is time for the kids to start a new school year. There are some that are happy about that and some that are not. There are new school supplies and new school clothes. There are new teachers and new classrooms. There are new schedules and new friends. A new school year can bring about a lot of change and that can be overwhelming sometimes. Instead…

Summer Camp! A week where memories are made and lives are changed. We took 52 children and adults to Camp Copass last month. We also had 19 TREK leaders there from CrossRidge Church leading activities. We had temperatures over 100 every single day. We sweated, we swam, we fished, we made crafts and we played games. We had so much fun at the carnival, we ate a lot of candy and snacks, we stayed up late and we watched fireworks.…

What a week we had at Camp Copass. We stayed up way too late, we made new friends, we belly-laughed, we swam, we watched fireworks and we sweated a lot. We worshipped, we prayed and we learned about Jesus. We are home now washing clothes, showering and probably taking a nap. If you see someone wearing a camp shirt on Sunday, be sure to ask them how their week was and then come back next week to read a full…

What a spectacular and stellar week of Vacation Bible School we had. There were countless hours of preparation that went into this event. There were too many memories and new friendships made to even count. Many hours of sleep were lost. Heaps and piles of food was donated to the Little Elm Food Bank and endless snacks were devoured throughout the week. There were also over 2000 water balloons used during recreation time. There were 17 crews of kids going…

On Father’s Day we celebrated Baby/Parent Dedication. By we, I mean everyone had a reason to celebrate. It’s easy to think that just the families involved in the dedication of their children would be celebrating, but this is an opportunity for our entire church family to lift up shouts of joy as we get to join our families in the raising of their children God’s way. We get to walk alongside the parents giving encouragement and support. We get to…
