    CALL TO WORSHIP

    It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. Attending Him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!”

    Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”

    Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”

    Isaiah 6:1-6

  • It’s Not Your Battle

    Worship Service for October 23, 2021

    WELCOME

    Good day, welcome, and thanks for joining CrossPointe Community Church’s online Word worship presentation. My name is Jim for those of you who may be new.

    I thank God for all of you and for the opportunity to spend the next few hours with you. Since Randy left me in charge, I thought a good 3 hour service digging into the Old Testament would be an awesome way to spend our Sunday together. Just kidding. So let’s get started with some announcements.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    I have a few announcements to make. First, I want to let all of you know that this Friday is the Community Meal. Anyone who would like to help out with distribution and clean-up, please contact Sandy Barnes. It’s always a blessing to lend a hand. Sandy has the details.

    Secondly, can you divert your attention to the lovely Annie Dean. She has details to share with you about the Gather to Scatter Sunday.

    CALL TO WORSHIP

    This chapter starts with the Lord telling Moses his plan to give the people of Israel the land on the other side of the Red Sea. But first, before they cross over, the Egyptians are going to pursue them. The people cry out to the Lord and ask Moses, why would you take us away from Egypt? Just so that we could die in the wilderness?

    And here is verse 13 and 14…

    And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

    Exodus 14:13-14

    But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
        O Israel, the one who formed you says,
    “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
        I have called you by name; you are Mine.
    When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.
    When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.
    When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up;
        the flames will not consume you.
    For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

    Sing a new song to the Lord!
    Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
    Sing to the Lord; praise His name.
    Each day proclaim the good news that He saves.
    Publish His glorious deeds among the nations.
    Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.
    Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
    He is to be feared above all gods.
    The gods of other nations are mere idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens!
    Honor and majesty surround Him;
    strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
    O nations of the world, recognize the Lord;
    recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
    Give to the Lord the glory He deserves!
    Bring your offering and come into His courts.
    Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.

  • The Tough Forgive

    Worship Service for October 3, 2021

    WELCOME

    Good day, welcome, and thanks for joining CrossPointe Community Church’s online Word worship presentation. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May They bless you this day as a result of your choosing to worship them.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Randy will return from a few days in Florida this Wednesday and will be teaching Disciple Bible Study Thursday evening.

    Today, we are highly privileged as we will be celebrating the sacrament of Holy Communion. Anyone here whose desire is to live in faith and harmony with the Lord Jesus Christ is welcome to receive the sacrament.

    CALL TO WORSHIP

    All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace He has poured out on us who belong to His dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins.

    Ephesians 1:3-7
