September 19, 2016, By: Jimmy Scruggs

When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Romans 12:13 At Crossroads, we have a yearly project in which volunteers go out into the community to help people with home projects they can’t do on their own. It’s called Project One, and last Saturday marked a decade […]

Vision 360

September 12, 2016, By: Jimmy Scruggs

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1 I was taking a long bicycle ride around Loveland over the weekend when I remembered an event on the same route I was on a couple of years ago […]

Let Go

September 05, 2016, By: Jimmy Scruggs

As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and the sin which holds onto us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Hebrews 12:1 (GNB) Remember the commercial; “Let go my eggo!” […]

Time and Experience

My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. John 10:10 (TLB) I was watching our CR Birthday Celebration last Friday night, and it warms my heart to see what God is doing in people’s lives. As I listened to the stories a question crossed my mind, “Does time and experience make you smarter, wiser, […]

Giving Joy

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently, but watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1 I heard some wonderful messages over the weekend; the Celebrate Recovery Friday night message on “Give” and my church message on “God Is Good.” I can’t tell you how […]

Stinking Thinking

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Lamentations 3:40 It was a privilege to speak at our CR men’s 12 step group last Monday night on the topic of inventory; a fearless and moral inventory. I had to admit my thinker was broken; my best thinking was destroying […]

Lovingly Flawed

My little children, I am telling you this so that you will stay away from sin. But if you sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. His name is Jesus Christ, the one who is all that is good and who pleases God completely. He is the one who took God’s […]

Joy

Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart, I will glorify your name forever. Psalms 86:11-12 Life is full of ups and downs. Flying high one moment and falling the […]

The Wall

July 25, 2016, By: Jimmy Scruggs

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 We had a wonderful testimony last Friday night at Celebrate Recovery/Crossroads. Our speaker shared on a lot of important themes, but there was one that […]

Fast Lane

July 18, 2016, By: Jimmy Scruggs

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. Philippians 4: 6-7 I just got back from a trip to the mountains to watch some baseball, and I was reminded just how […]
