Sunday Messages at Stonepoint

In this message, we explore Daniel chapter one and the pressure to conform to a dominant culture. When Daniel and his friends find themselves captive in Babylon, they face intense pressure to erase their identity and adopt new names, language, and dietary habits. Instead of launching a violent rebellion, Daniel resolves not to defile himself and proposes a humble ten-day test. His respectful, coun...

Pastor Butch examines the powerful lessons of Ezekiel 34. This passage contrasts the self-serving leaders of ancient Israel with the compassionate heart of God. True leadership is not about title or position; it is about using your influence to strengthen the weak, bind up the broken, and guide others closer to Christ. How can you use your daily influence to love and protect those around you? Watc...

Pastor Brandon explores Ezekiel 34 to address the pain of failed leadership. God issues a harsh warning to the unfaithful leaders of Israel who exploited their positions for personal gain while leaving their people scattered and vulnerable. This ancient critique of self-centered power serves as a timeless reminder of how bad leadership pushes the weak to the margins. Fortunately, God promises to s...

Pastor Joe shares a challenging message about how the pursuit of comfort can slowly push God out of our lives. He points to Ezekiel's vision of God’s glory departing the temple because the people made Him unwelcome. Today, modern consumerism and a demand for comfortable church experiences threaten to leave us busy but empty of God's presence. True discipleship requires stepping away from our comfo...

Pastor Brandon explores the dramatic vision in Ezekiel chapter 10, where the glory of God departs from the temple in Jerusalem. This sobering event marks a time when God’s presence left His people due to their hard-heartedness. The departure reminds us that the greatest human challenge is not external hardship, but the absence of God's presence in our lives. Are you settling for empty religious ac...

Pastor Brandon explores the story of the prophet Jeremiah and the remnant of Israel as they face a pivotal decision. Following the destruction of Jerusalem, the survivors want to flee to Egypt for safety and comfort. However, an open door is not always God's invitation. True peace is not found where life is easiest, but where God is leading us, even when that means staying in a difficult place. Ar...

Jeremiah 31 addresses a despairing, hard-hearted Israel, promising hope and restoration through a new covenant. Though marked by sorrow and loss—like Rachel weeping in Ramah—God declares He will give His people a new heart, a renewed relationship, and complete forgiveness. The sermon draws out how this is fulfilled in Jesus, who turns places of agony into places of hope, offering soul transformati...

Jeremiah 31 points to God’s promise of hope and restoration in the midst of pain and trial. The message centers on the new covenant fulfilled in Jesus, offering peace, joy, and a transformed heart for those who surrender control to Christ. Even in life’s darkest moments, we are invited to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, trusting God’s unfailing love and faithfulness to lead us forward....

What if the very things you're trusting most are quietly leading you away from God? In Jeremiah 17, Pastor Archie unpacks a striking contrast—a withered shrub in a barren desert versus a thriving tree rooted by living water—revealing what happens when we place our trust in ourselves, other people, or hollow idols instead of God. Drawing vulnerably from his own story of spiritual drought and transf...

What if the very thing steering your life is more broken than you realize? In Jeremiah 17, Pastor Cody unveils a sobering truth: the human heart is "deceitful above all things"—yet God searches it not to shame us, but to heal us. Like a tree planted by streams of water, those rooted in Christ bear fruit even through drought and difficulty. As your church journeys through the Bible together this ye...

What if the things you love most are quietly reshaping your soul without you even noticing? Pastor Brandon unpacks the ancient trap of idolatry—not golden calves, but iPhones, ambition, and everything we can't seem to live without—revealing how we often worship what God gives rather than the God who gives it. Drawing from Isaiah 44 and Romans 1, this message challenges us to ask: what is our life'...

What if everything you thought you knew about God was just a "hint of a hint" of the real thing? In Isaiah 6, the prophet—who had spoken about God his entire life—was suddenly undone by a vision of seraphim with six wings, smoke filling the temple, and a holiness so overwhelming he cried, "I am doomed!" Pastor Joe unpacks how this shattering encounter reshaped Isaiah's worship, walk, and character...

What if the restless ache in your heart could finally find its answer—not in a bigger bank account, but in gratitude? Pastor Brandon unpacks the biblical wisdom of Ecclesiastes, where the Hebrew word *hevel* reveals life's maddening paradox: the more we grasp for wealth, the faster satisfaction slips through our fingers. Like little Charlie crying for more coins in the kids' ministry hallway, we n...

What if your darkest, most desperate moment could become the place where God does His greatest work? Pastor Archie knows this firsthand—facing a rare, aggressive cancer diagnosis, he discovered what Proverbs 3:5-6 truly means: *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding."* Like a sunflower instinctively turning toward the sun, we're created to position our hea...

What if God sees every chaotic, knotted thread of your life—and still calls it beautiful? Pastor Brandon opens Psalm 139 with a striking image: the back of a tapestry loom, tangled and confusing, yet hiding something spectacular on the other side. Just as David discovered, God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent—He knew you before you were formed, loves you completely, and is weaving purpos...

What if the faith you're living—or avoiding—is shaping generations you haven't even met yet? Pastor Joe opens Father's Day with a question that cuts to the heart: does any of this actually matter? Drawing from Psalm 78's powerful call to pass truth to the next generation, and bolstered by the astounding historical testimony of the early disciples, Pastor Joe builds a compelling, personal case for...

What if the very crisis threatening to destroy you is actually God's setup for your greatest breakthrough? King Jehoshaphat faced impossible odds when enemy armies surrounded him, yet his desperation drove him straight into God's arms through prayer and fasting. Pastor Joe reveals how our darkest moments—whether personal struggles, cultural chaos, or family crises—can become the catalyst for spiri...

What if the deepest satisfaction you're craving is already within reach? David, the shepherd-king, reveals how God provides like a faithful shepherd—meeting our everyday needs through contentment, our emergency needs through His presence in dark valleys, and our eternal needs through belonging to Him forever. Pastor Brandon shares how sheep become "cast" on their backs, helpless without rescue, ju...

What if the hardest season of your life is actually God's invitation to discover His goodness in ways you never imagined? Pastor Brandon reveals how Elihu, a fiery young man in Job's story, dismantles the dangerous "karma gospel"—the lie that good things happen to good people and bad things to bad people. Through Elihu's bold wisdom, we learn that God remains infinitely good even when life feels d...

What if the very opposition you're facing is proof that God has something powerful planned for your life? When Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem's walls, his enemy Sandballat unleashed mockery, discouragement, distraction, and deception to stop the work—but Nehemiah fought back with prayer, perseverance, and unwavering focus on God's mission. Joe reveals how Satan uses these same tactics against us today...

What if the comfort you're desperately seeking has been waiting for you in God's open arms all along?

Through powerful imagery from Exodus 34 where God proclaims himself as merciful and tender, Abe shows how Jesus gave up his source of comfort...

What if the Christianity you knew could transform skeptics into believers through pure goodness? Joe reveals how Paul discovered that true faith works itself out through love—choosing to value others above yourself, to encourage generously, to forgive quickly, and to consider others' needs first. He challenges the Church to embody Christ's mindset so completely that when we leave rooms, people whi...

What if the pain you're experiencing right now has a purpose you can't yet see? Pastor Brandon wrestles with humanity's hardest question—if God is good, why does evil exist?—revealing how even brilliant atheist C.S. Lewis discovered that our very sense of injustice points to something greater. Unlike worldviews that dismiss evil or blame victims, Christianity boldly declares that God didn't distan...
