iresolve reflections and recommendations



This weekend I will have completed teaching a series of messages called iresolve. It's been very exciting to see how God's Word has helped people learn to walk as Jesus walked in the areas of emotional health, relational health, and physical health. I am praying that those who have listened to these messages will see great things happen in their lives in 2008.

In an effort to come along side of you and help you be successful in the coming year I want to recommend some additional reading to go with the iresolve series. Here are some good reads to take you further:

Honest to God by Bill Hybels (relational, emotional, physical and spiritual health)
Love and Respect by Emmerson Eggerichs (relational health)
The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Swhartz (emotional & physical
health)
What the Bible Says about Healthy Living by Rex Russell

In addition to the recommending reading I also want to encourage you to think about joining a support group, a men's or women's discipleship group, or a Community Group. There is no way I can overestimate the power of a small group in your life. Meeting in Biblical community on a weekly basis will have incredible dividends in your life in 2008. If you attend our monthly Connection Class we can help you connect to the right group.

I'd like to share one additional thought in regrads to the iresolve series. The Lord has used this series to bring some additional people into Crossroads Church. The increase of people means we need more people than ever to commit to worshipping on Saturday nights and in our Hangar facility on Sunday morning. Thank you for resolving to make room for others in 2008. I have a feeling 2008 is going to be a really good year!

Get ready for the next series..."OUR SPACE"
