Psalm 14 calls out the fools only to realize that we all play the part. The good news is that God saves fools.

Waiting on God isn't easy and in this very honest psalm we are given a pathway to trusting God when it doesn't make sense.

Words are powerful and in psalm 12 we are invited to trust the only pure and faithful words that can be found.

What do you do when it feels like God is nowhere to be found? Psalm 10 gives voice to a question many of us are afraid to ask out loud: “Where are you God?” When injustice thrives and evil seems to win, we’re left wondering if God sees, if He cares, or if He’s even there. This message walks through the tension of God’s seeming absence and the hope of His promised justice. It’s an invitation to be...

Today our team reflects back on the whole letter of Philippians pulling out the most impactful truths and points of application.

This week, we enter the final stretch of our journey through Philippians by looking at the Apostle Paul’s thoughts on gospel partnership, generosity, and the secret to lasting contentment. In Philippians 4:10–20, Paul highlights how a church’s faithful support is not only helpful to the mission—it’s pleasing to God. Whether Paul was well-fed or hungry, free or in chains, he had learned the secret...

May 11, 2025 - There’s a battle happening in all of us—a battle for our thoughts. In Philippians 4:8–9, Paul shows us a better way to think and live. Right thinking leads to right living. And right living leads to peace. Not just peace from God—but the presence of the God of peace Himself.

May 4, 2025 - We live in an anxious world—one that constantly pulls our hearts and minds in different directions. But in Philippians 4, Paul offers a radically different way: peace. Not the kind that depends on circumstances, but the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. In this message, we unpack three keys to living with peace in an anxious world: Unity Always – Conflict and division fu...

April 27, 2025 - In this message from Philippians 3:12-21, we explore the right attitude, focus, action, example, and goal needed to run after Jesus. If you’re tired, stuck, or sidelined—don’t quit. Press on!

April 20, 2025 - Easter Sunday. In this message from Philippians 3, we explore what it means to have a life truly defined by Jesus. Paul warns against putting confidence in the flesh and reminds us that the Gospel is never “Jesus +” but always “Jesus alone.” We look at the pitfalls that keep us from this kind of life and the pathway toward knowing Christ as our surpassing worth.

April 13, 2025 After being encouraged to live like Jesus, in humility looking out for the interests of others, Paul gives two godly examples that help show us the way.

March 30, 2025 In what may be the most stunning passage ever written, Philippians 2:5-11 reveals the shocking greatness of humility. The way up is down. The King of the universe made humility His very way of life. Leaving heaven wasn’t enough. Being born in a stable wasn’t enough. Even dying wasn’t enough—it was death on a cross, the lowest form of humiliation. Yet, that was not the end. Because o...

March 23, 2025 - Because of what we have in Christ, we are urged to live in two important ways - unity and humility. We explore what that should look like in this sermon.

March 16, 2025 These verses call us to a life that is lived in a manner worthy of the Gospel. What does that look like and how can you ever live up to something as amazing as the Gospel?

March 9, 2025 What does it look like for Jesus to be your confidence, your passion, and your purpose? These verses sum up for us what it looks like to have a life that is completely and utterly all about Jesus, where He is your confidence, He is your passion, and He is your purpose.

March 2, 2025 If someone was in prison the last thing you would think they would say is that you can have joy in suffering. But that is exactly the claim that the Apostle Paul makes in these verses.

February 23, 2025 Paul opens his letter to the Philippians with a powerful but succinct prayer that is both specific and full of substance. We track this this prayer trying to better understand it and emulate it.

February 2, 2025 In the opening of his letter to the Philippian Church, Paul extends a greeting that transcends mere formality. He articulates two pivotal words that have profoundly shaped his own life, and which also hold the potential to transform the lives of every person.

January 26, 2025 - Today we celebrated 5 Points Church first birthday! As we reflected on our first year, we looked at the story of how the Philippian church began in Acts 16.

January 19, 2025 - This week we answer the question: "How to make disciples right here and right now?" We take inspiration from Luke 19 when Jesus pursues Zacchaeus, prioritizes Zacchaeus, then eats with Zacchaeus, and ultimately transforms the life of Zacchaeus.

January 12, 2025 - This week we answer the question: "What does a disciple do?" The answer is found in Matthew 28: "a disciple makes disciples." As we dig in deeper to the passage we will also learn "the why," "the where" and "the how" of discipling-making.

In this week's message we define disciple based on Mark 1. If Jesus has called his disciples to make disciples, it's critical that we know what we are making. Sunday, January 5, 2025

December 22, 2024 - Today we looked at how the message of Great Joy came to the shepherds announcing the birth of a Savior.
