Thanks for joining us today at Crossbridge! We're all about making an impact in our world and helping disconnected people connect to God! Below we've got all the links you need, and the notes for today's worship gathering together. We think it's pretty cool you've joined us.

If you'd like to participate together in communion with us today, go ahead and make sure you've got some elements for bread and juice set aside as we start.

Three words of advice from the writer of Hebrews:
1. Don't make light of discipline.
2. Don't lose heart because of discipline.
3. Don't misunderstand discipline.

If Jesus suffered and died on a cross, we can know that suffering in and of itself is not an indicator that I’m on the outs with God.

God uses hurts for our healing.

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
