Make a Difference Monday

We are starting something called Make a Difference Monday.  I actually came up with the idea after worship (that’s always a scary thing, me having an idea).  The way it works is that beginning Monday of each week we intentionally look for where God is at work in order that we might join with Him.  Now this isn’t a one day thing.  This is a week-long adventure!  Think of it as a way to put into action what we just learned from His Word on Sunday.  Read more…

Adventure Series

It’s been said that the Celtic Christians had a special name for the Holy Spirit.  They called Him An Geadh-Glas, otherwise known as “the Wild Goose.”  Much like a wild goose, the Holy Spirit cannot be tracked or tamed.  And to pursue the Spirit of God, well, it’s nothing less than a great adventure!

As Christians, we need the Holy Spirit.  Without Him we operate by our own strength and end up accomplishing human size results.  But when we live in the Spirit, we cannot help but be different.  And the world cannot help but notice.

In the weeks to come, we will take a closer look at what the Bible teaches us regarding the Holy Spirit.  As we trust in the promises of the Spirit, we will be led away from discouragement and into lives marked by faith and the fruit of the Spirit.  Join us for this great adventure!  You won’t be disappointed.

July 4th

Join us at Appaloosa Park (5575 S. De Gualle St., Aurora, CO 80016) from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, to worship outside and picnic afterwards!  We will enjoy God’s creation, worshiping Him in a natural amphitheater.  Grilled hotdogs will be provided.  Bring a side dish, drinks, and chairs.  Games and fun for everyone!  Be encouraged to invite your friends and neighbors for this special July 4th celebration!

Simple Prayer

When it comes to prayer, many have lost the simplicity.  In the midst of complex and busy lives, we have made prayer into what it was never intended to be – complicated.  As Christians we know we should pray, but do we know how to pray?   Read more…

Current Series

It’s a passage that is framed and hung on hospital walls.  It’s scratched on prison walls.  It’s quoted by the young.  And it’s whispered by the dying.  Do you know the passage.  It’s Psalm 23.  In the month of June we are going to be taking a closer look at this beloved passage of Scripture, in the hope that it will draw us closer yet to God.

Living Out Life

We have an exciting new ministry beginning at Cross of Christ that we’re calling LOL (Living Out Life).  On certain days throughout the course of the year we will simply come together to live out life in fun and exciting ways!  Not only will this be a great way for the community of COC to fellowship together, this will also be a great way to live out life with others who are not yet part of the church.  Be encouraged to attend AND be encouraged to invite a friend!  Read more…

Community

If it’s true that the mission of Jesus was to bring the Good News for the here and now, and not just for the eternal future, how does my life need to change – here and now?  Read more…

Acts 2:45

This Friday (May 14) and Saturday (May 15) is our community garage sale.  It’s part of our Acts 2:45 Initiative.  As Acts 2:45 says:  “They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need” (NLT).  Read more…

Financial Freedom

Why are Christians afraid to talk about money?  I know talking about finances is not my favorite thing to do.  And why are we so scared of the word tithe?  Recently I heard someone say that the average Christian is more afraid of the word tithe than they are the devil.  I can believe it.  But why is that?  Read more…

Avery’s Desire

Avery is just 9-years-old, but already he has a heart to help the homeless.  After doing some research, he decided to help the Denver Rescue Mission (DRM).  Avery went through his toys to see what he could give away and asked those at Cross of Christ to do the same.  Together they collected items like birthday wrapping paper, dish soap, diapers, even toys.  But that’s not all.  Read more…
