LifePointe Church Sermon of the Week

In our current culture, justice is talked about a lot. And it wasn't much different two thousand years ago. Justice is a hope in all of our hearts. The Jews were expecting their messiah to bring justice to their nation. But justice in the Kingdom of Heaven is different from justice that we think and know in this world. Jesus brought a justice that reflects who God is.

The Kingdom of Heaven has different priorities. The priority of heaven is first and foremost the lost. We celebrate if we are found in Christ but a revelation of the grace of God in our life should push us outwardly with loving compassion for the lost. Join us as we explore this priority of the kingdom in the book of Matthew.

The kingdom of heaven is fully relevant for today. Jesus came and demonstrated good news that set people free and redefine their lives now. But the kingdom of heaven is also an eternal kingdom. It's not only relevant for today, it is also an eternal hope for the age to come.

The Kingdom that Jesus came to declare and invite us into is unlike any other kingdom of this world. The values and principles are contrary to this world. Join us as we begin a journey of exploring the kingdom of heaven through the book of Matthew.

We wrap the Jesus Church series by looking at the last portion of the book Acts. In this part of the story of the early church, we see the Jesus Church coming head to head with some of the most powerful forces of her day. We should envision the Church as a powerful influence in this world.

What if there was more to church than just attending and watching a few others do all the ministry of the church? What if Jesus called a group of average men to change the world to show us that God wants to use us? Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Acts.

The Jesus Church is an unstoppable church. We know how the story ends. We don't have to be victims to our circumstances, instead we can view our lives through the lens of the Jesus Church.

The Jesus Church is a missional community of believers. The goal isn't so much just to gather as many as possible in one place. The goal is to gather so we can all be sent. This requires ownership by all in the mission of God. Join us as we discover this truth in Acts 10.

The Jesus Church is an uncomfortable church. Discomfort is the natural result of simple obedience to Jesus. Comfortable Christianity is not an accurate reflection of the church Jesus gave His life for. Acts 8 gives us a glimpse of our history as the Jesus Church, as a church that endured suffering for the sake of love.

Jesus prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one. His prayer for us, 200 years ago, was to be united as one. Join us as we discover Christ's heart for His church to walk in unity.

Church was Jesus' idea. It's not the invention of man, it was fully initiated and set in motion by Jesus. What if church was simple? And what if Jesus got all the attention? Today we will look at the early church in Acts 4 to see what really motivated them.

Join us as we celebrate the risen Christ. He's alive and able to write a new story over our lives. Today we consider 1 Peter 1 and the story that the risen Christ wants to write in our lives.

This week we wrap up the series Wonder by talking about the responsibility we have to steward that which we have encountered. There is power in our words and with our words we steward what we have experienced in Christ.

The logical response when we catch a glimpse of the wonder of God is worship. But how often do we allow worship to be a reflection solely of our circumstances? What if we encounter a level of worship that surpasses our circumstances.

Jesus describes the entrance into and the way of the Kingdom as childlike humility and dependency (Mark 10). There is a way of a child that can inspire a sense of wonder in life and this world.

There's no reason for us to wait for some future date to know God in glory and wonder. Everyday can be an opportunity to recognize Who God is and what He is doing all around us.

This week we kick off a new series discovering the wonder of Who God is. We are praying that each of us step into a new season of being captivated by wonder. The Psalms of David will be our guide into a life of wonder.

Guests Travis and Dawn Rosinger bring a powerful message on God's pursuit of you and me. One of the clearest illustrations of God's loving pursuit of us is the illustration of marriage. This is a compelling call to surrender our all to Christ and a compelling call to reflect the love of God in our marriages.

The grace of God is both expressed and experienced in community. We can't fully know or appreciate the grace of God in isolation. Join us as we dive into Galatians 6 and seek to understand the implications of the gospel in our daily lives.

Join us as we dive in Galatians chapter 5 and we explore the reality of the good news of Jesus Christ in our every day life. What if freedom in Christ was real?

Join us as we discover our purchased identity in Christ. This is way of life for every believer. True saving faith in Christ leads us to a constant discovery of our identity and inheritance in Christ.

Join us for part 2 of teaching from guest Dr. Jeff Hubing as we discover our purchased identity in Christ.

We have been set free from the condemnation of the Law through faith in Jesus Christ. Christ full fulfills all the requirements of the Law and invites us into an actual relationship by faith. But that leaves us with the question, what about the law? This week we explore the daily implications of law in a believers life through Galatians 3.

There is only one gospel. Paul makes that very clear in Galatians chapter 1. How often to we fall prey and accept a gospel other than the simple gospel of the sufficiency of Jesus? In this message, Pastor Drew introduces the gospel of grace and the lifestyle of life with Jesus that is possible if we choose the gospel of grace.

We have all made resolutions for a new year. Most of the them have failed. What if we stirred up a resolve in our lives to devote more of ourselves to Jesus in the year ahead? God has more for each one of us, if we will set our hearts toward Him.

The story of Jesus is a demonstration of God's priority to exalt the humble. This is a principle of the Kingdom of God. And this is a principle that turns the principles of this world up-side-down. Let us understand this prerequisite to entering the kingdom of God best demonstrated by Jesus himself.

The story of Jesus is a story of God's generosity on display. God gave heaven's best so that we may actually have a relationship with Him. In this message, Pastor Drew dives into the story of Jesus that is not only historical, but also deeply relevant to our lives now.

Prayer, in Christ, is the conduit by which we take new ground in this life. Pastor Drew Meyer encourages us to contend for the new ground that God has for us to take hold of in our lives individually, as families, communities and a church, all through the power of earnest and persistent prayer.

Desire paves the way for prayer, therefore we either need to pay for desire or pray from desire. Prayer is not just a religious act, but it's created to engage us deeper in our relationship with God and make us more aware and more in tune to the things going on around us. In this message, Pastor Drew shares on Matthew 26 and invites us to see the urgency and passion that can drive our prayer life. Our recognition of things that are not as they should be can drive us into a deeper place of prayer.

Hear from guest speaker, Dylan McNeely as he dives into Luke 7 and identifies three different people present in the story. In this message, Dylan encourages us to see that Luke 7 paints a picture that we as believers today can identify with and encourages us to process what our own relationship with Jesus Christ looks like.

Hear from our guest missionary to Botswana, Barb VanWyk as she updates us on all that is being done to support the children and communities of Botswana. Jesus has set the standard in how to love and care for the children around us and around the world, and partnering with the Father's heart means extending our arms to the littlest ones around us.

In this sermon, Pastor Drew Meyer encourages us to see the Word of God as being a light that illuminates God's best for us. When we submit ourselves humbly to God's word we can begin to see others and the world more accurately.

The food of the Kingdom is the Word of God. It sustains, strengthens and satisfies. In this message, Pastor Drew Meyer encourages us to read the Bible in the way God intended us to - as our nourishment and source of life for each and every day.

God has a love for us that is higher, deeper, wider and greater than we could ever imagine. He has revealed to us His love by giving us the Bible as a collection of love letters, written throughout a story that tells of His sacrificial, unending love. We have the opportunity to open up those love letters every morning and receive it. In this message, Pastor Drew Meyer encourages us to step into the revelation of God's kindness and love by seeing the Bible from a fresh, new perspective.

His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, but yet most times we approach the Bible as if it were any other book. In this message, Pastor Drew Meyer encourages us to contend for something greater as we open up His word and see the Bible as the revelation of who God is. God wants us to discover more as we read, and through practical wisdom and application, we can discover this daily for ourselves.

This message is from our Sunday Night Service with our guest speaker, Dick Schroeder. In this podcast, Dick encourages us to step into a greater depth of listening to God's voice by sharing stories and personal encounters throughout his life.

Christ invites us to come to the well of living water and to draw from it all that we need. In this podcast, Pastor Drew digs deeper into Philippians 3:8-15 and brings us to a greater understanding of the intimacy and abundance that Christ has available for us. Be encouraged to go daily to the well to draw stability and strength for what lies ahead.

The rhythms of your life can create an invitation to know Christ more. In this sermon, Pastor Drew unpacks the importance of establishing a healthy rhythm in your life to discover more intimacy in your walk with God.

Jesus calls to us and says, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me and drink (John 7:37-38).” And that thirst is only satisfied in relationship with God. He has designed us for relationship with Him. Over the next several weeks we will be talking about the daily intimate relationship available in Christ.

Paul prays a prayer that we would come know the power of God that is available to us as believers (Ephesians 1:19-23). Pastor Kyle brings a word of encouragement about the power of God for our daily lives.

As life comes at us it’s easy to get sucked into cynicism, doubt, unbelief, or fear. God didn’t created us for that. In fact, Christ gives us a hope that can change the way we see the world around us. This week, we talk about two ways in which believers can begin seeing their lives through the lens of hope.

God wants to wake us up to discover more of who He is and who He's created us to be. This week, we talk about the spiritual work that Christ wants to bring each of us into. Relationship is God's aim and He is giving us a clear invitation to discover more of that relationship.

Our life in Christ is a life of unending discovery.
