Preparation for Sunday, 2/5/2012
Song Preparation: I encourage you listen to these songs each week so that you are familiar with them by the time we sing on Sunday. I always find that becoming more familiar with the lyrics to a song gives me more freedom to be led by the Holy Spirit as I worship. We won’t play these song exactly as they sound below but this is a good start! I would encourage you to go to itunes or any other music download site and purchase these songs for your music library. That way you can spend more time listening to them and learning the lyrics!
Here is some scripture that goes well with the songs we will sing this Sunday.
At the foot of the Cross – Psalm 71:8, 146:2, 150:6; 1 Corinthians 1:8
Furious – Ephesians 3:14-21, Romans 8:36-38
One Thing Remains – Lamentations 3:22, 1 Corinthians 13:8, 1 John 4

We will be singing a new song this week called “Furious”. This word can often have a negative connotation, but I would challenge you to think differently about the meaning of “furious” when it comes to how much Christ loves us. We will never fully grasp the true force and intensity of Gods love, but we know that scripture says in Romans 8:36-38 that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! So as you listen to this new song, think about how much God loves you and how we are more that conquerors through him who loved us. This truth truly has the power to change us!

Chuck’s Thoughts
What Made Me Smile?
This past Sunday I smiled a lot. Not that I go around with a frown a lot but Sunday was a day full of smiles for me. As we had our “Patties and Pies on the Porch” Sunday there were three things that made me smile.
- New People: It was great to meet brand new people to Crossbridge! People were here because they had driven by the church a few times or found us online. What made me smile the most was when I met people that were invited by you! That makes me smile because I knew that Crossbridgers were seeking to invest in people and invite them to be a part of our faith community. We are seeking to make growing followers of Jesus Christ and one of our primary ways we do that is by personally investing in people far from God and introducing them to our community. Great job guys! Keep investing! And if your friend didn’t come this Sunday the next best thing to invite them to is our Christmas Eve services!
- Servants: I smile when I see people jumping in and serving the mission of the church! Now we have amazing people serving every Sunday at Crossbridge but on Porch Sundays we see people go above and beyond normal service! Special thanks as always to our Porch Event coordinators Shelia and Adrian Garcia for all the work they put into this event! And BIG thanks go Tony Lawrence, Carlos Rodriguez, Angie and Scott Woods for all they did to serve at this event! We also want to thank Jeff and Wendy Brooks for their generous donation all the hamburgers this past Sunday! And a GREAT BIG, boy they were delicious I ate too much thanks goes to all of you who brought PIES! Wow you people can cook! I am glad we do that one only once a year or I would be buying some new jeans! I praise God for your servant attitude Crossbridge and thank Him for generosity that flows out of you!
- Community: I found so much joy seeing Crossbridgers connecting after both services. To see people eating and laughing together brought again a smile to my face and heart!
It was a great day everybody and I am so glad I get to follow Jesus on mission with you! See-ya Sunday!
Pastor Smiley!
PS – This Sunday I will be preaching a special message called “entitled”. I hope to see you then!
