CPXL Season 2 • Episode 3: The Abrahamic Covenant — God's Promise, God's People, God's Plan | Genesis 12, 15, 17After the scattering at Babel, God begins something new through one man and one family. In this episode of CPXL, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant—God's foundational promise that sets the trajectory for the entire biblical story.Walking through Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we see that God's covenant is entirely His initiative—grounded in faith, not performance. From Abram's call to trust without seeing the full picture, to God alone cutting the covenant, this conversation reveals God's heart to restore, bless, and redeem the nations.The episode also points forward to Jesus, the promised descendant through whom the blessing to all nations is fulfilled—showing how faith, not lineage, defines God's people.In This Episode:God's call to Abram and the meaning of covenantWhy faith is central to God's promisesHow the covenant expands in Genesis 15 and 17How Abraham's story points forward to JesusWhat it means to live as people of the covenant todayKey Scriptures:Genesis 12:1–3Genesis 15Genesis 17Galatians 3Romans 4As Genesis narrows from nations to one family, we're invited to see ourselves within God's unfolding covenant story—and to consider where He may be calling us to trust Him without seeing the full picture.About CPXLCPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.

What if true strength isn't about power, but about embracing your own weakness? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders dives into 2 Corinthians, Paul's most personal and vulnerable letter, written to a church wrestling with doubt, division, and new challengers. Discover how Paul redefines power and leadership by boasting in his hardships instead of his achievements, sharing how the upside-down logic of the Kingdom finds strength in weakness. If you've ever questioned what real spiritual resilience looks like, you won't want to miss this deep and relatable exploration of reconciliation, suffering, and hope.“Strength through weakness does not make sense in the world system—but in this new kingdom, there is strength in weakness.” - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Paul's Painful Visit and Reconciliation00:21 Introduction to the New Testament Reading Plan01:04 Overview of Second Corinthians01:47 Historical Context and Setting02:57 Paul's Response to False Apostles06:22 Reading Plan for Second Corinthians06:43 Setting the Scene for Second Corinthians07:19 Paul's Vulnerable LetterResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:
Genesis 10:1–11:26 | Nations, Babel, and God's DirectionIn this episode of CPXL, Andy Addis and Eric Franklin are joined by Ryan Booth for the first three-pastor conversation of Season 2 as they walk through Genesis 10–11—the account of Noah's sons, the spread of nations, and the Tower of Babel.Genesis 10 shows how humanity repopulates the earth after the flood, forming diverse nations and families. Genesis 11 reveals how pride and misplaced unity fracture that diversity at Babel. Together, these chapters remind us that while humanity multiplies, moves, and sometimes rebels, God remains sovereignly at work—directing history toward His redemptive purposes.The conversation explores why the “Table of Nations” matters, what Babel teaches us about pride and unity, and how God's scattering is not only judgment, but also loving direction. The episode closes by pointing forward to the genealogy of Shem and the emergence of Abram—evidence that God's plan continues even through a fractured world.In This Episode:Why Genesis 10 matters more than we thinkUnity, diversity, and God's design for the nationsThe heart issue behind the Tower of BabelHow God redirects humanity without abandoning His promiseThe hopeful line leading toward AbramKey Scriptures:Genesis 10:1–32Genesis 11:1–26Genesis 1:28Deuteronomy 32:8Acts 17:26–27Hebrews 11:8–12As Genesis shifts from nations to one family, we're invited to see how God works through history—and through ours.CPXL exists to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries to Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.Follow along on the Reading Plan with us: crosspointchurch.com/readingplanAbout CrossPoint ChurchCrossPoint is one church in many places, striving to reach the state of Kansas by catalyzing God's people to be Everyday Missionaries.

Today's readings are Mark 1-2; Psalm 1. I hope you will join me in reading through the Bible this year.I may pick back up with the 49 week challenge next year (2027), but since we are reading the Bible together at St. John, I thought I would join in that process and use readings from the Follow the Word reading plan we'll be using as a church this year. So here's my reflections on the reading for day 1, January 1, 2026.
