Summary
Pastor Nick announces Cross Church's "Decade of Love" vision, grounded in Matthew 22's greatest commandment to love God and neighbor. The church commits to four strategic initiatives—Legacy (reaching the next generation), Obedience (missions and church planting), Vulnerable (caring for the poor and marginalized), and Equipping (resourcing other pastors and churches)—inviting all members into renewed engagement and fruitfulness over the next ten years.
Highlights
Over the next decade, let's change that perception through this body of believers. I would rather them say, 'Man, if you're a Christian, then I would say that Christians are the most loving people that I have ever come into contact with in my life.'
When you don't know what to do, choose love. When our church doesn't know what to do, choose love.
I believe when you do this, it's just an open invitation for God to move. I want you to cup your hands before the Lord and say, Jesus, today we say yes—whatever yes means, whatever that looks like in our lives and in this church, we say yes.
