From our Campus Pastor

Dear Crosspoint Family,

This Sunday, we continue our Kudzu series and I've been looking forward to this week's conversation for a while now.

If you've been with us through this series, you know we've been exploring how sin, left unchecked, spreads like kudzu vine, quietly and relentlessly, until it chokes out everything that was once healthy and good. This week, we're turning our attention to one of the most pervasive and misunderstood expressions of that: greed.

When most of us hear that word, we picture Scrooge McDuck or a hedge fund manager. But the biblical picture of greed is much closer to home. It's not just about money. It's about the endless hunger for more. More approval. More comfort. More security. More control. And if we're honest, that's a hunger most of us recognize.

Jesus addresses it directly in Luke 12 through a parable that's as relevant today as it was then. A successful farmer gets a windfall and spends his time planning how to store it all for himself, and never once pauses to consider God. The Apostle Paul, writing to the Colossians, names greed plainly for what it is: idolatry. Because whatever we can't stop chasing, we end up worshiping.

The good news is that the remedy isn't just restraint or willpower. It's repentance and the stunning realization of how rich we already are in Christ. When we understand what we've been given through adoption into God's family, the endless search for more finally has somewhere to land.

I'm praying that this Sunday is one of those mornings where something shifts, where the eyes of our hearts get a little more open to the inheritance we already have.

Come ready to dig deep. Bring someone who needs to hear it.

I'll see you Sunday.
