Living at Peace

Living at PeaceIf it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 (ESV)We coined a phrase in our home this holiday season. Anytime one of us was a bit snippy or a little too grumpy, we would say, "Peace on earth!" It became a...

Reasons to Believe

Reasons to Believe

Our culture and our world have changed dramatically in the last few decades. We now live in a “Post-Christian” America in which familiarity with the Bible, respect for Judeo-Christian values and even belief in God can no longer be assumed. As a result, it is often the...

The Untapped Power of Goodness

The Untapped Power of Goodness

It’s impossible to explain the Gospel without using words. But when those words are accompanied by a lifestyle that is good and right, the power of the Gospel becomes exponential. Would those around you describe you as a good person? When our behavior matches our...

There’s More Good News

There’s More Good News

Poverty is oppressive. Its stranglehold destroys hope and ultimately leads to despair. We’ve all known poverty; if not physical poverty then at least spiritual poverty. The good news of the gospel is news that meets people exactly where they are. It’s news that can...

Something About Those People

Something About Those People

The good news about Jesus is that He came so that we might have life and have it to the fullest. An offer this amazing can easily seem too good to be true. It is completely understandable that someone would be skeptical or want to reserve judgement. But when we...

Just to be Clear

Just to be Clear

The life-changing hope of the good news about Jesus is too important to make muddy. We owe it to ourselves to be clear about this simple message of salvation. You have a story to tell. But your story can take others only so far. Sooner or later, you’ll need to know...

A Good Place to Start

A Good Place to Start

What if we could help create a culture where sharing the good news about Jesus becomes a natural conversation? Around our church we’ve created an environment where those kinds of conversations can happen. It’s called Starting Point. And in this non-threatening, small...

Good News & Bad News

Good News & Bad News

When we have good news like a job promotion, the birth of a child, or even a new car, we usually want to tell others about it. But when it comes to telling others about the good news Jesus shared, what he’s done for us and what we receive from Him, it’s often...

Limitless

Limitless

LimitlessJesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven." Matthew 18:22 (NIV)How do you forgive someone who keeps doing the same thing, over and over again? This is essentially what Peter asked Jesus in the above verse. He was saying, "I guess I...

Playing Your Part

Playing Your Part

Any remix of any song is incomplete until the instruments and voices are in the same key. And the LifePoint movement, like a musical score, is incomplete unless you’re playing your part. As a believer in Jesus, you have been gifted by God to give yourself to something...

A Melody For the World

A Melody For the World

The world is a big place. And the needs in our world are bigger than ever. When God works in the world He looks for people through whom He can pour His life and love. Our response to Jesus’ Great Commission finds us in different corners of the globe. But we didn’t...

A Song Worth Singing

A Song Worth Singing

A remix can make a good song great. This is especially true when the lyrics of the song are moving and profound. At our church we have a life-changing message of hope for all to hear and experience. Jesus is the hope of the world. Unapologetically, we’re on a mission...

Catching a New Rhythm

Catching a New Rhythm

A remix creates a fresh, new rhythm in the life of a familiar song. It works that way with life too. In a season of exciting transitions, our church is catching a new rhythm and experiencing a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit among us. Our role is to stay yielded to the...

Dwell

DwellSo that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith... Ephesians 3:17a (ESV)The smell of the campfire lingered, its smoky scent confirming unhurried summer nights. Echoes of stories and laughter were chased out of my head as the rain came down. Heavy, pelting...

Fool-in-Yourself

Fool-in-Yourself

If you’ve ever felt like you sometimes work against yourself, your suspicion is well-founded. Inside of every one of us lies a capacity to make dumb choices and distance ourselves from God. From our earliest days, human beings have tried to hide from God. But it’s...
