I know who I am “I know who I am.” I have heard this powerful phrase many times since becoming a member of Crosspointe Ministries. It is loaded with so much confidence and assurance! It can also be challenging and perplexing if you are someone who never really took the time to ask yourself the seemingly complex question: Who are you? Throughout my life, I was confident of the answer to this loaded statement. Of course, I knew who I was;…

Do I know who I am? I have heard this powerful phrase many times since becoming a member of Crosspointe Ministries. It is loaded with so much confidence and assurance! It can also be challenging and perplexing if you are someone who never really took the time to ask yourself the seemingly complex question: Who are you? Throughout my life, I was confident of the answer to this loaded statement. Of course, I knew who I was; I knew my heritage,…

beware of Miscommunication The message, as told Sunday, was to be aware of how destructive miscommunication can be. We need to make sure we always gain enough context before ever judging or speaking on a matter. Many people can try to skew situations or issues to suit to view they want to present or their ego, and it can cause problems in relationships. This can also happen when someone disregards the other point of view in any situation; they now…

The Power of the Presence of God in You Sunday’s message touched on “who God is to us.” It taught us that God loves us, and He is always with us. We must be trusting and confident in our relationship with God, so we can always count on Him. He’s got us and will never forsake us, and even on occasions when we fall, He will lift us quickly.   It comes down to our theme: “What do you believe?”…

Responsive to the Holy Spirit In Sunday’s message, we spoke about being responsive to the Holy Spirit. What resonated with me was that I shouldn’t compare myself to others. I am running a race, and Christ sets the standard. When I evaluate myself, it’s not about how others are doing. Rather, I am to reflect and examine my performance based on my actions and Christ’s standard. If the Holy Spirit constantly leads me, I will be exactly where I need…

Where are you at? Happy New Year!!! 2021: The year of great expectations – What do you believe?!! This was the first year that we were given three(3) scriptures to support our theme of the year. 3 John 2 Phillipians 1:19 Luke 8:5-15 I thought it odd at first because I just could not figure out the link between the three scriptures. The excitement at the time was all on “Great Expectations: Woohoooo… can’t wait!!” Then as the year progressed,…

The Love Walk: A Walk of Patience This Sunday’s message to me was a reminder that the love walk can be long; however, exercising patience can pay off when you least expect it. People often move in and out of faith depending on whether or not they get what they want. But, patience and understanding make it possible for them to come back when they’ve truly made the decision to follow Christ. It’s easy to judge, but we have to…

Let us Defend our Divine Nature This week’s message was based on 2 Peter 1:10. Verse 3 says: His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. What really resonated with me is that Pastor Vickylextar said we have to “defend our Divine nature and to put our focus on that, instead of the flesh or the old nature.” It encouraged me…

Thankfulness is Crucial This week’s message was instrumental in reminding me of the importance of being grateful. Thanking generally means to acknowledge that something was or is being done. So, it’s impossible to be truly grateful to God without believing what He has done for us, and thankfulness supports our faith in His goodness. Like Pastor Vickylextar says, it’s the brace of faith! Being thankful is the natural response of our hearts when we commune with Yeshua. Pastor shared about…
