5 Points Church Podcast

The irony of the cross is what looked like defeat was actually victory.

In this message, we explore what it means to be a church that is both gifted and growing. While not everything that grows is healthy, everything that is healthy will grow—and God’s design for His church is rooted in both spiritual unity and gifted diversity. Unity doesn’t mean uniformity; instead, it’s the Spirit-held togetherness of a people who have been uniquely equipped by grace. Walking throu...

In this message, we explore what it means to walk in a way that reflects the worth of our calling in Christ. A worthy walk isn’t just personal—it’s deeply connected to how we live in unity with others. Looking at Scripture, we see that our calling creates our unity, our character preserves it, and our confession anchors it. As we grow in Christlike character and hold firmly to the truth of who God...

In Ephesians 3:14–21, Paul prays that believers would experience what is already true of them in Christ. This passage shows us the difference between merely knowing the truths of the gospel and actually living in them—being strengthened by the Spirit, grasping the vast love of Christ, and being filled with the fullness of God.

In this sermon from Ephesians 3, we explore how the wisdom of God is revealed through the gospel and displayed through the church. Paul shows that what once seemed like a mystery—God bringing Jews and Gentiles together in Christ—is now revealed, and that believers today are part of God’s plan to show His wisdom to the world and even the heavenly realms.

A walk through Ephesians 2:11–22 to see how Jesus destroys the barriers that divide us. A simple, verse-by-verse look at how Christ reconciles us to God—and to one another—to build a new family.

Salvation is not an achievement to be earned, but a grace to be received. Today we explore a foundational truth of the faith: that our standing with God is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, not our own. By looking to Him, we trade the exhaustion of "achieving" for the peace of "receiving."

Today we are looking at Ephesians 1:15-23, a prayer from Paul, asking for our eyes to be opened to the amazing realities of the greatness of God and the riches of the Gospel. He is telling us that because God has so lavishly loved us through Jesus, Christ should dominate our understanding, our hope, and our experience of power.

Is chaos the final word—or is Jesus? In one long, overflowing sentence, Paul reveals God’s plan to unite heaven and earth under Christ. This sermon from Ephesians 1:3–14 invites us to see the gospel not just as forgiveness, but as God’s purpose to restore all things—and to live now under the reign of King Jesus.

An Introduction to Ephesians

Today we’re talking about how invitation and expectancy shape the tools we use as a church, and how those tools help us make room for God’s presence.

In this message from Luke 5:17–26, we explore what expectant faith really looks like through the story of friends who refused to let obstacles stop them from bringing someone to Jesus. When a crowded room blocked the door, they climbed the roof—because they truly believed an encounter with Jesus could change everything. This sermon challenges us to move beyond passive belief and into active, persi...

Most of us want to grow with God, yet year after year we find ourselves spiritually stuck. This message explores why good intentions aren’t enough—and how spiritual growth doesn’t happen automatically, but through intentional, humble participation with God. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18, we see that real transformation comes as we learn to behold the Lord—placing our whole selves before Him with...

What do you do when the storms are raging around you and it seems like God is absent? How can you survive the storm? This message gives insight to what it looks like to trust God in the hardest parts of our life.

How can you hold on to hope even as you wait? In this sermon we look to the life of Simeon. Even though he is only briefly mentioned, his life offers a look at how hope is possible even when the waiting is long.

In today's message we walk through the sobering ending of the book of Nehemiah and ask why a story of renewal ends with disappointment. We see a faithful leader but learn that even the greatest of external reform is never enough.

In the culminating chapters of Nehemiah, we see the people wholly and fully submitting themselves to God, giving us a picture of what our life can also look like.

Nehemiah 10 captures a powerful moment of renewal as God’s people unite in a commitment to live faithfully before Him. They respond to grace not with empty words, but with changed lives. In this episode, we explore what their covenant means for us today — and how the story unfolding in Jerusalem still speaks into our own pursuit of holiness, devotion, and joy in God’s presence.

You can't respond rightly to what you see wrongly. And a right response comes from seeing something rightly.

Now that the wall is built, God begins the spiritual rebuilding of His people through the power of His Word.

When the work ends, the worship begins. Here in Nehemiah 6 & 7, the wall is completed but God is just getting started.

Sometimes our opposition can be relentless and it can be hard to stand our ground. Nehemiah shows us what it looks like to stand with conviction even when the enemy bombards us..

In Nehemiah 5 we see internal conflict miraculously transform all because of a leader who was willing to humbly set an example.

What happens when you believe you are on God's path, doing His work, and then suddenly surrounded by opposition? What do you do when you have real enemies who want to take you down? In this message we outline four truths about facing opposition and how we ultimately can find victory.

The detailed overview of the Jerusalem wall being built in Nehemiah 3 is more than just a list of names and jobs. It's a story of how God works through His people and how He still works today in the same way.
