And We Know ☝️🙌

Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

So many times, we focus on the negative! It’s easy to do right?

But, the truth of Romans 8:28-29 reminds us of God's unwavering goodness and purpose in our lives: God can work anything for our good and His glory for those who love Him. He can use any circumstance to make us more like Jesus.

These verses should be a constant comfort, that no matter the challenges we face, God is at work behind the scenes, weaving every circumstance, joy, and struggle into His perfect plan for us.

When life feels uncertain or painful, we can take heart in knowing that God's purpose is far greater than our current understanding. His love is unwavering, and He is always shaping us through every experience.

Trusting in God’s plan, even when we don’t see the outcome, allows us to find peace. So, in moments of triumph or trial, we can rest assured that God is always working for our good and will continue to shape us into who He has created us to be.

Disaster Relief

The Eaton fire devastated Altadena, Pasadena, and the surrounding areas. Many homes were destroyed and families displaced. Crosspoint has been blessed to serve our community by distributing waters, delivering air purifiers, giving clothes, as well as providing gift cards and some financial assistance.

We now have the opportunity to partner with Samaritan's Purse to help families clean their homes and search for personal items on properties that burned. If you would like to be a part of this effort, go to spvolunteer.org or call 626-808-6653.
