Welcome to Crossroads!Our first priority this morning is to worship our Father in Heaven and His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As our guest, we want you to feel comfortable as you worship with us. Below is a short explanation of what you can expect here this morning at Crossroads.During congregational singing, the children will be dismissed from the auditorium for a more age appropriate lesson in our children’s area. If you have children with you, you should discuss with them ahead of time if they will leave during the service. It is perfectly acceptable for them to stay with you. However, if they decide to leave the auditorium later, for their safety we ask you to accompany them to the children’s area and connect them with the volunteers.We observe the Lord’s Supper (communion) as a part of our weekly service. It is our reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our salvation and a celebration of God’s grace. The ushers will pass the trays containing the bread and the grape juice. If you are a believer, feel free to participate with us.

Following communion, the ushers will pass the offering plates. As our guest, you are not expected to give. We do ask that you fill out one of the green attendance cards and drop that in. If you miss the offering, simply drop your card in the wooden boxes located at the exit.When the service is over, the minister will be available to answer any questions you might have. All questions are welcome and can be on any subject. It is our sincere prayer that you will be blessed worshipping with us today. If you have any questions you canemail us at info@crossroadschristianchurch.net or contact one of our elders or staff below.EldersKyle Achor (219) 863-1336 Kyleachor@comcast.netFred Townsend (765) 337-6295 freddy055@aol.comAaron Atkinson (219) 207-1391 atkinson.aaronj@gmail.com

Week 3: Just Try It:They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach. 22 They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26 Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him. 27 They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28 Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee. Mark 1:21-28

“And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her. 31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.” Mark 1:29-31

“When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. 33 And the whole city had gathered at the door. 34 And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.” Mark 1:32-34“In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.”

Mark 1:35

“Simon and his companions searched for Him; 37 they found Him, and said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 

Mark 1:36-37He said to them, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for.” 39 And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons. Mark 1:38-39

Mark 1:39

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:12-13
