Glorify God With Your Life
Pastor Bill Ritchie
Matthew 6:1-18

Last week in our "Growing" series, Pastor Daniel challenged us from Matthew 5, to live the radical life that Jesus calls us to lead, subversive to the culture we live in. We are going to stay right there this week, and Pastor Bill will explore one of the most radical, opposite of our culture things we can do with our life. It's against everything we see, hear, and feel on a daily basis. We're talking about glorifying Jesus with our life.

Face it: our lives are tailor-made to be all about us. We make ourselves happy throughout the day, and in our off-time, TV shows like American Idol and time-sucking social media websites like Facebook and Pinterest are training us to focus our energy on one thing...putting the spotlight squarely on us, and how wonderful we are. When we take a step back and examine our culture, we can easily see that life is all too often about us. But God wants to bless a life that is all about Him. How do we get there? Find the internal joy in life you desire, and the satisfaction your soul longs for this Sunday, as we break open Matthew 6 together and learn how to "Glorify God With Your Life."
 
THURSDAY MIDWEEK STUDY
 
Our Patriarchs series is the second series through the Book of Genesis. This series will be focusing on the three great Fathers of the children of Israel, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The events of their lives, their families and their relationship with God will be fertile soil for us to learn about who God is and how He deals with humanity.
 
Join us Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM in the Sanctuary for worship, teaching, kids programs and Q & A. Bring a friend and be blessed!
 

SECOND SATURDAY
Join us as we share God's love by serving at our Second Saturday outreach Saturday, May 12 from 9:15 AM – 2:30 PM, as we participate in downtown Vancouver’s Spring Clean-Up. Friends and families are welcome! For more information on the projects, email Dave at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Volunteer Opportunities

We know from Matthew 25:31-46 that God desires that each of us serve Jesus by serving each other. As a church body we experience and believe that there is no better way to get to know people in the church and grow together in Christ than to volunteer and serve together. Our volunteer ministry opportunities are an amazing way to build friendships and family while reaching out and giving back to our church community. With that in mind, we encourage each other at Crossroads to "step up" and live out His love inside and outside the church.

How can I get involved?

We invite you to email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in the Church Office and she will be happy to help you find a volunteer ministry opportunity that is fulfilling for you. You can talk also with a leader in any of our church ministries to find out more about how to start volunteering. Below (if applicable) is a partial list of opportunities that are currently available!

FAQ

We know our guests and potential guests often have questions about our church ministry, so we have collected some of the most common questions that arise:

1. What should I expect when I come to a Sunday service?

Our services are based around worship, a Bible teaching, and a lot of encouragement to live the life God has designed us to live. Our music, language, and style is contemporary, but our roots are deeply traditional (Biblically speaking).

We want you to know you are expected (we look forward to meeting you), welcomed (we have a place for you), and cared for. When you arrive, you can spend time in the lobby, which we call our Family Room, meeting people over coffee or asking questions at our guest services kiosk. Our church is not a building or a denomination, we are the body of Christ. From our greeters, to our ushers, to our pastors and volunteers, we reach out, connect with you, and invite you to join our family. We look forward to spending time with you as we seek God together.

2. Besides Sunday services, what ministries do you offer?

Feel free to explore our ministries page. If you are looking for a particular ministry, please call Cindi at our Church Office 360.256.9711 or email her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will help you navigate through the ministry options that we offer.

3. Do you care about my kids?

You bet we do! We believe that God's plan from the start has been for our church and our families to work together for the spiritual formation of the next generation. We are committed to share Jesus with your kids and help them to grow in their faith so that their relationship with God becomes something they treasure. We also provide the tools that our parents need to help them become the primary faith influencers of their children.

4. Will I feel comfortable?

We sure hope so. We make it a priority to train and equip our volunteers and staff to effectively connect with our visitors to help them feel welcomed and connected to the church body.
