By Faith ⛰️🙌🏼
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. Hebrews 11:1-3, 13-14, 16
Hebrews 11 is an incredibly journey through Biblical history. Every person mentioned in this chapter has different life experiences. They face challenges and persecution of different kinds, but they all realized the same thing. They needed God above all else. They were citizens of Heaven. This world was not their home. They lived by faith.
Would you take time to pause and read this chapter? Here are some things to reflect on as you do.
What does Hebrews 11 say faith is, and how did the people in the chapter show their faith?
How can the examples of faith from Hebrews 11 help us in our own lives today?
How does Hebrews 11 help us understand that faith might not always lead to immediate results, but requires patience?
Mark your calendar! 🗓
Exciting things are coming to Crosspoint! See below for several of these opportunities to serve and grow together. Be sure to save the dates and be a part.
September 1-30
Month of Prayer
Prayer is powerful! There are promises related to prayer. Prayer is simply talking to God. Sometimes, we are thanking Him. Sometimes, we are worshipping Him. Sometimes, we are asking Him to do something. Always, we must be trusting Him.
Through the month of September, we are calling our church family to pray. To help, we have provided a calendar for you to join us in praying for one specific thing each day.
Will you join us? Wherever you are, will you pray each day in September for CrosspointLA?
I believe we will see God do miraculous things this month. Let's Pray!!

Heart for the House Offering
Our church has been growing! Beginning November 1st, we will have full use of our church building for the work of the ministry and the building up of the body of Christ. With this new and exciting change, there are some things that will need to be purchased and done that will make this building a more permanent setup.
Our rent will also increase.
We would like to take up a special “Heart for the House” offering to provide for these extra expenses. We are asking you to pray and ask God what He would like you to give to this specific need. Follow this link to see the specific needs. Notice some of the needs have already been met. 🙌
If you’ve prayed about it, and you’re ready to give, you can do it here or via check or cash in the offering box at church.
2 Corinthians 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
