We'd like to introduce you to the greatest
Friend you could ever know. We want to help you learn more about
Him and become all He created you to be. We are also here to
serve you and to help you serve others. May the Lord bless you
as you worship, study and grow with us!
This statement has been one of
our focus statements at Crossroads Community Church for many
years. It is our desire to help lead you into a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ and to encourage you to grow in the knowledge
of Him. Do you know Him? Have you heard the Good News (the Gospel)
of Jesus Christ? If you have not, please keep reading. This is
THE most important decision you will ever make.
The Problem
God created human beings to be with Him, to fellowship with Him.
Unfortunately, we as human beings have a natural tendency to
try to do things our own way. Many times our own way is in conflict
with the way God wants us to be. When we do things our own way
and not God's way, it is called sin. The Bible says in Romans
3:23 that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God". Everyone on earth has sinned. This sin separates us
from God. Romans 6:23 tells us that "the wages of sin is
death". The price that has to be paid for sin is death.
Everyone is accountable for his or her own sin. Ezekiel 18:20
puts it this way: "The soul who sins shall die".
The Solution
Again, God never intended
for us to be separated from Him. But we as human beings chose
to sin. However, don't worry! God has a plan. His plan gives
us life. This life comes through Jesus Christ. John 3:16-17 says,
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved".

Promise...
