https://thecrossingfellowship.churchcenter.com/givingWant to grow in your relationship with God?
We believe that spiritual growth happens when we live a life in rhythm of hearing God's Word and following His instruction. There are five key areas of this that we believe are crucial for spiritual growth in the life of a believer. Those areas are: Know God, Follow christ, Live Connected, Serve Others, Make Disciples.
For each of these rhythms, we developed 5 questions to help us gauge and focus on living in rhythm with God and His Word. Consider asking yourself these questions daily.
▸ Did I spend time today in God's Word? What did I learn?
▸ Did I take a step of faith today - whether big or small?
▸ Who did I strengthen or support today?
▸ What need did I meet today?
▸ Who did I point toward Jesus today?
