A SevenLakes Story! - The Hausman’s Story

April 8th, 2008 admin Posted in SevenLakes Stories |

From the first Sunday we worshipped at SevenLakes, we knew this church was something special. We had attended church most of our lives, but going to CrossPoint isn’t just “going to church.” It’s more like “being the church.” At CrossPoint we are encouraged to worship God and serve others, and it’s so easy to do that here. Our family learns and serves through set-up teams, Home Team, JAMmin’ Hour, Recon, and classes like Christ.ology and The Core. Due to the persistent prodding from our pastors, we’ve also started daily family devotions. It might seem that the Hausmans are really busy! The weird thing is, we really don’t feel all that busy. We both work in Alief schools and our kids have their own activities, and that’s what keeps us “busy”, but serving Christ at CrossPoint is what brings us to life. Serving Christ at CrossPoint is what makes us live.
The music here is so inspiring, and Matt, Bill, and now Dan’s (yeah!) teaching from the Word of God has motivated us to become active participants in the ministry of this church. The early believers in Christ saw church as a seven-day-a-week act of worship, not the one-hour-you-slip-into-your-Sunday-morning-routine as today’s society views it. Matt challenged us that first morning, January 7, 2007, that “if you want to launch forward to the next step with God, it all starts by taking a step back, looking at the cross and letting it make you go, ‘Wow!’” What an awesome Savior! What a great place to serve Him!
