Jam Jam Jam and a Diet Pepsi Addiction

Hey Friends,

So this weekend we’re kicking off our Leader’s Retreat in a couple hours. We’ll be celebrating what God has done this year and all that’s in store in the near future. Over the last month or so, many people in the CrossPoint faith community have been reading through a book called “Sticky Church” by Larry Osborne-the pastor of North Coast Church in San Diego, CA. With a premise surrounding the idea of being able to keep a church from losing people once they come through the front doors, we feel we’re getting “sticky” while still being an invitational, evangelical, and loving church. We’re called to filfull Jesus’s great commision and great commandment of bringing people to Salvation and we want to stop and live nothing short of that. I hope ya’ll read this book-it’s definitely not anything new that we haven’t heard before-it’s just going back to the roots of what Christianity looked like at the earliest stages-small groups taking care of each other while being invitational.

On another note, Diet Pepsi is so awesome and yet something I need to give up sooner rather than later. Do you ever have one of those things that you just desire and crave-even if you know that it’s not the best thing for you. Jesus Christ is the living water and he’s more important than my shiny silver can of Diet Pepsi, yet often times I find myself craving something like Diet Pepsi more than the word of God.

I officially bought my first Mattress/Bed. I went to Good’s Furniture and I spent the big buck on something that is going to last for my self. I bought the Serta Perfect sleeper Trentino…I’m definitely stoked to see how it sleeps. Perfect night rest here we come!!!

Blessings to you all this weekend!
