So proud of the way my church and our leaders handled this past Sunday (I’ve been on a month sabbatical for July). Pastor Derrick Knox is the pastor at Church of Elohim, a church plant we share a building with and do many joint services with.
Very proud to call Pastor Derrick a brother and a friend. Very proud to call Pastor Curt Wright a brother and a friend (Curt introduces Derrick in the sermon). Two men who care more about Jesus’s heart than what people think of them. Very proud of their courage and boldness and proud of the entire Crossroads Church congregation to be a community where we can talk about these things with love and truth, pointing people to Jesus in the midst of such pain. Very proud that the Crossroads Church community isn’t a place that accepts the status quo, but longs (through all of our failure, brokenness and weakness) to live out the Bible’s commands to seek justice and love the oppressed and to be the church Jesus envisioned and the New Testament Church embodied.
