From our Campus Pastor Mathew Hargett
Hello Crosspoint Family,
I hope you're doing well and excited for another powerful week in our AWAKEN series! As we’ve been talking about helping bring about another great spiritual awakening, this Sunday’s message might be one of the most impactful yet. We’ll be diving into the idea of Awakening to Holiness—how God calls us to stand out and live lives set apart from the culture around us.
We’ve seen that while our culture values blending in, Jesus wants us to be different, to stand out, and be holy. We’ll look at Revelation 2:12-17 and explore how the church in Pergamum faced the same challenge, and what it means for us today.
Don’t miss this Sunday! Whether you attend our 8:00 a.m. Traditional Service, 9:30 a.m. Contemporary Service, or 11:00 a.m. Contemporary Service, we’d love to see you there.
Be sure to grab an AWAKEN booklet this Sunday, if you haven't already! It includes include sermon notes, devotionals, and resources to help you engage more deeply in this series.
Looking forward to worshiping together and continuing this journey of spiritual awakening!
Mathew Hargett, Campus Pastor

OCTOBER PRESCHOOL FOCUS: LET'S FLY
Preschool: If you’ve ever been near a playground when an airplane flies by, you know the sound of the airplane is quickly followed by the sound of kids shouting with excitement! Their innate sense of wonder is immediately turned up as they ask questions like: Where do you think that plane is going? How big is that plane? How can it fly so high in the sky? Today, our preschoolers will go to places like school, daycare, church, and grandparents’ houses. We know God has plans for each of them, and as they grow, they will go to even more places that might be even further away. We want to make sure that wherever they go, they can look to God with a trusting heart and say, “Let’s fly!” because they know God is always with me.

OCTOBER ELEMENTARY FOCUS: GAME SHOW
There are a lot of choices that we need to make in life. Some of those choices can help us grow and shape us positively. Others can pull us in different directions, leaving us struggling to figure out which choice is best. What do we do when we’re confronted with all of these choices? Do we rush ahead? Or do we pause and let God lead us toward the best way to act? Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s one of the ways we can tell that God is transforming our lives and that we’re growing in our faith. Thankfully, we don’t have to find self-control on our own. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit is with us and helps us make the wise choice.
