Point View Church

Prophecy as said by Wayne Grudem is “Speaking what God spontaneously brings to mind”. Through the Spirit we have been given the mind of Christ in which God speaks through. Today we got to hear from different voices on what that looks like and how. 

In our first practice of the Holy Spirit we look at the gift of tongues. The most misunderstood gift a "private language of love". What is it and how does it aid my life? Is it essential? 

We all hunger for something yet hear the cry “But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”  Billy Graham once said, “The most desperate need of the nation today is that men and women who profess Jesus be filled with the Spirit. Our infinite hunger is only filled with a life in the Spirit. Spiritual life is not a demand but a desire, how do we live this out?

As we wake up, we breathe in content, words, images, the news of the day. Out of that breath, we breathe word and action into our worlds. Yet with all our breath our worlds can feel like a deflated balloon. Something that looked good but now is a shadow of what it once was. We need a life of a Spirit empowered breath! 

Mother's Day can be a lonely day for many, even those who are mothers. If you are motherless, childless, or a Mom struggling to make it, the day might make you feel like a misfit. This message is encouragement for all who struggle in this space.

All of us can relate to the phrase "Unfinished Projects" because most of us see them in front of us on a regular basis. Our spiritual walks are the same, yet we have a gift in the Holy Spirit who slowly brings together our greatest project "Christ Likeness".

As we continue to know the Holy Spirit through scripture's metaphors we see more His role in our lives and the life to live.

The unexpected comes into our world and like the disciples on resurrection Sunday, we can ask where is Jesus? This is not what I had planned. But what if the disillusionment is in fact a gift of revealing the illusion we lived under. What if the unexpected Resurrection is a journey we must all take in "Trusting Beyond Knowing"?

As we continue to understand who the Holy Spirit is, we look at the metaphor of water. Water in the first  page of the Bible is seen as chaos yet God transforms it to hold new life. Who is the Holy Spirit in this and how does it apply to us?

To walk in the Spirit, is to experience the fruits of the Spirit. This is our greatest joy and challenge, to walk and hear Him. In this message we look at how interruptions can be a gift to experiencing the fruits of the Spirit. 

Pastor Craig starts our new series as we continue to understand what it means to demonstrate the Gospel. Who is the source that empowers us?

We are dying to truly live, yet we die to the wrong things to truly live. We are dying to experience life, yet die giving of ourselves to the wrong things. So what should we be dying to? In Matt 10:26-42 Jesus lays out a Kingdom way of living.

"And you will hated for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved". As Jesus prepares His disciples for Kingdom work, He explains you will be persecuted because of me. Why does this happen? How do we walk faithfully?

Matt 10:9-15 - Jesus’ teaching of going into the world is more than just good evangelism. It teaches us how to walk in the world. It teaches us the power of the Simplicity of Heart, to center on one thing in a world that tries to divide our souls. So how does this happen?

“Loneliness is the leprosy of the modern world – Mother Teresa” Thou we are more connected than ever, the feeling of disconnection, of isolation is the real pandemic issue. For Jesus community is non-optional in following Him. Not laying out a list of rules but an invitation of relationship, “come follow me.” What are the road blocks to this? How do we live a Kingdom Culture of community?

What does it mean to Reign in the Kingdom of God? Many in the gospels missed it and today we still struggle with this same question.

There is an ever growing battle of Kingdom's, between God and our own kingdom. Jesus calls us to the good news of His Kingdom by Repenting and Believing. But what does that mean? What does that look like?

As Christians we are called to be bringers of the good news, yet we witness in a nation in decline of faith… From 2000-2020 45%, now to 25% actively follow Jesus…There is a connection between the decision-making good news we give, and the absent passion of following Jesus we see. I believe we have a good news problem. Do we know what Jesus calls the good news?

It’s not always “major” sin or forsaking our faith that takes us away from our First Love. It’s often much more subtle things that draw us away. If we ask God to make us aware of those things, and are intentional to contend against them, we can return, and remain, in that place of First Love. 

The idea of being on the fence about a certain topic may not have huge consequences for us in our every day lives. We may be weighing options, trying to see both sides or still gathering the facts. When Jesus says you are neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm Christians, there are big consequences! Like, making him want to vomit. That is a pretty clear picture, he doesn’t want us on the fence with ou...

We all have a battle of Will's. The battle of Willful (my independence) vs Willing (my surrender). Learning to assert our will is a normal development. The one who can resist the temptation, disciplined and driven in all challenges is praised. Yet when self-will is over played, we become rigid, missing out on the fullness of life we are called to. We want love without sacrifice– without the risk a...

We all face the constant challenge of growing past our love for Jesus… With just absorbing information and failing to create space to experience His real love. We are in danger of leaving our first love. What causes this to happen? How do we recapture our first love?

TRUE KING: The 3rd gift from the wise men was “Gold” representing the Kingship of Jesus. Looking back through the story of Matt 2:1-12 we see a tale of 2 kings. If you were the Wisemen, who would you call King? How do we find the true King? What is the gift of gold we can give our world?

In this series we look at the gift that Jesus is to us and the gift we can be to others. Myrrh represents the character of Jesus as a suffering servant. What does this mean for us and why should we live this out?

In this series we look at the gift that Jesus is to us and the gift we can be to others. Frankincense is a gift which shows Jesus as the high priest. The role of a priest was to represent a people to God, to reconcile others to Him. What does that mean for you and me? What does that mean for our world?
