Good morning, Crossroads! Whether you're joining us in person or online, I’m grateful to be with you today. I’m Pastor Brian Mrazek, and I invite you to meet me and our team at The Hub in the lobby after the service to get connected.

Today, we conclude our series, "Make a Splash," with a message titled "Leave a Wake." I want to start by asking, what’s your boat story? Many of us have experiences on boats, whether fishing, kayaking, or even just riding a ferry.

Reflecting on my childhood, I recall Saturdays prepping our Glastron speedboat for trips to Joe Pool Lake. I fondly remember my first fishing trip with my Snoopy fishing pole, which ended with me falling into the lake, saved by my dad’s quick reflexes. These memories tie into our theme: making a splash not just literally, but through meaningful actions. This series encourages us to think about the impact we leave behind. Today, I challenge us to consider who has impacted our lives and how we can impact others.

Jesus left the greatest legacy, impacting people across cultures and centuries. In Philippians 2, Paul highlights how we can follow Jesus’ example: by showing love, striving for unity, and serving with humility. These actions help us leave a legacy that influences generations to come.

So, what kind of impact are you making? What wake are you leaving behind? Let's strive to leave a positive, lasting legacy in our communities.
