Bluewater Bay Campus eLetter
From Our Campus Pastor
Are you SOWING for the future or STORING for the future? There is a difference, especially when it comes to the Kingdom of God. What we invest on this earth has eternal consequences. So are you storing or saving for the Kingdom?
That’s what we talked about this past Sunday as we wrapped up our Kingdom Builders series. If you missed Sunday's message, I encourage you to listen to it HERE. Also, we’re starting a new series this Sunday breaking down, Romans 8, so do not miss that!!
As we travel the generosity journey, we discover that it works because God’s generosity exceeds anything we could ever give. God could have chosen to build His Kingdom through miraculous acts, but he didn’t. God builds His Kingdom through our participation in the journey because he wants us to experience the joy of walking in obedience to Him.
Take time to listen to the message again, ask God what he would have you give, and plan to do what he is telling you to do obediently. When you decide, we would love for you to share your response with us by completing a Giving Response Card HERE.
Choosing generosity,
Billy Russell, Campus Pastor

Stephen Ministry
"People helping people – that’s a great way to describe Stephen's Ministry."
Has the Holy Spirit ever nudged you to step out and walk alongside someone experiencing a life challenge? Maybe it’s a family member, coworker, neighbor, or friend. If you’ve felt the call to do something like this, Stephen Ministry may be a great fit for you as a place to serve here at Crosspoint. Joining Crosspoint Stephen Ministry allows you to show someone Christ’s love when they need it most, provide hope, and be present while making a difference in your faith walk and life in Christ.
Stephen Ministers are adult members of Crosspoint who have a one-on-one relationship with people experiencing divorce, loneliness, job loss, grief, health challenges, anxiousness, and so many other concerns. We equip you to provide a very high level of care. Men are matched with men and women with women. You’ll meet once a week to listen, care, pray, encourage, and reflect Christ’s presence in his or her life. As a group, Stephen Ministers meet twice each month to receive encouragement and support from each other so we continuously provide Christ-centered one-on-one care. Stephen Ministry is life-changing for both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister. Stephen Minister's skills can even enhance relationships in other areas of your life.
In this broken and hurting world, we need your gifts and talents. Our 2024/25 training class starts on Tuesday, September 3 on the Niceville Campus. We’d love to have you join us and grow in your walk with Christ through a relationship with and caring for others!
