The Heart of a Great Marriage!

Dear Crosswalkers,

Here are some thoughts and reminders during Week One of 40 Days of Love:

This week we got off to a great start with our theme, “Let Love be your highest goal” (1 Cor. 14:1). The small group study was fantastic. It is not too late for you to be in a small group! Sign up this Sunday and join the journey!
The old song about love and marriage “go together like a horse and carriage” is altogether true! It’s impossible for us to get through 40 Days of Love without some major attention given to marriages. For those of us who are married we know the challenge of obeying the verse, “Do everything in love” (1 Cor. 16:14) in our own homes! That’s why I want to encourage you to invest one of these 40 Days in our “Heart of a Great Marriage” simulcast. It’s coming up on Saturday, Oct 17, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Tickets are only $10.00 and the event will be held in our worship center! This event is even relevant for those who are not yet married. Please give care to that most important of all human relationships! You can sign up on Sunday or just show up on October 17.
THIS SUNDAY we have the challenge of “Loving like Jesus Loved”. Wow! This will definitely ramp up your lifestyle of love. How does Jesus love me? We will see what the Bible says about that, and then look at the amazing truth that God wants me to love other people in my life the same way that Jesus loves me!! We will also be celebrating the Lord’s Supper again, as we plan to every Sunday during our 40 Day journey together.
Lastly, some great testimonies are being posted on our Crosswalk Community Church 40 Days of Love Facebook site. If you are not yet a “fan”, I encourage you to go to facebook.com and then type our church’s name in the upper right search field. I’m new to this stuff, but it is kind of fun to see what’s happening with others in the church family.
Love in Jesus,
Pastor John
