This week's teaching emphasizes the significance of forgiveness during the Christmas season, highlighting that while Christmas is often seen as a time for giving, forgiveness is absolutely critical to the Christmas narrative.  Support the show

As we walk through the emotions that surround Christmas, theres a bit one that we need to tackle. The holidays are a milestone that trigger memories, both good and bad. For many of us, the holidays remind us of a person that we've lost or a marriage that dissolved. It reminds us of what don't have as much (or more) as what we do have. As someone who is currently going through a heavy los...

Pastor Brian explores how the busyness of the Christmas Season can often take the place of listening to those around us. Pastor Brian moves our focus to: Learn from the Shepherds - have space to hear, Learn from the Wisemen - look with Jesus, Learn from Simeon & Anna - pray to reveal. Take a listen to this weeks sermon on Chirstmas EQ. Support the show

We are going deeper into the idea of Emotional Intelligence, especially as it relates to the Christmas Season. We are not just talking about listening to those around us, but also being emotionally available as we listen. When we look at the Christmas Story, we see how Mary and Joseph's EQ - through surrender and obedience - strengthened their relationship with God and each other. We'll...

Pastor Aaron wraps up the series on Psalms by focusing on the theme of Thanksgiving. Psalm 118 showcases the message of recognizing God's unchanging goodness and love that never quits.

The sermon concludes with a call...

Life's challenges can be overwhelming, but when we set our focus on God instead of what is going on around us, we can find the importance of faith when facing struggles.

As the final message of our Ask & Imagine Sermon Series, Brian lays out how financial generosity makes a difference in the life of your church family. This is definitely a family-centered sermon that includes a call to action for commitment. If you haven't listened to the other sermons in this series, we encourage you to go back and listen to those first.  Support the show

We often find it easier to share our voting choices than to discuss how we give financially. Many of us have heard confusing teachings about generosity in church, which can make money a tricky topic to address. This  teaching aims to break that barrier. Brian and Melissa  explore some key scriptures about tithing and share personal stories that show how their understanding of generosity has evolve...

Bold faith and bold prayer are two necessary ingredients to see big things happen in our Christian maturity. As we lay out a two year vision for our church to move forward in lots of areas, we know that we need to grow in  prayer. We will believe for miracles, but we also believe that prayer involves God's "yeses" and "no's." So, as a church, when we practice bold pra...

It’s been quite a journey in the 10 years since Lakepoint Church moved out of Muskego High Gymnasium and into this space. We’ve witnessed growth in every corner. Week after week, we welcome guests, host missional communities, and create moments where Jesus meets people right where they are—in worship, in prayer, in life’s struggles. Our hospitality has extended beyond our walls, as we’ve opened ou...

Due to a few technical issues, the first 11 minutes of this podcast are lower quality.  As we explore Ruth’s story again, we focus on Boaz—a man of great character who was committed to his family and determined to do what was right. Though he was wealthy, he was generous; though he held authority, he was humble when needed. Boaz, an ancestor of King David and Jesus, shows us that facing difficult...

What do you think of when you hear the hear the word "Assertive?"  What comes to your mind when you hear the words "Assertive Woman?" The story of Ruth in scripture is a tale of countercultural faith and strength, and we can glean some extremely valuable lessons from Ruth's assertiveness.  This week's sermon was captured on phone due to technical issues. Thank you to...

'If I walk in the door, I don't have any shoes on and I ask for help, what are you going to assume? You're going to assume that I need help getting some shoes.' In our relationship with God, there is transformational power in approaching him with our desires. He wants us  to share our desires with him because as we share our desires, we reveal the deeper parts of our heart. In...

The  spiritual journey that leads to new life requires a new direction. When we say yes to Jesus, we are are making an "about face" that will affect every area of our life. As we consider the topic of baptism as a church, it's vital that we understand how repentance (turning around) plays a role in the "raised to walk in new life" part of baptism.  Our church partners at 1...

What does it mean to be overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit? When we look at the topic of baptism, we must talk about our encounter and  indwelling of God's Spirit. Many of us get a little weirded out or even skeptical when we hear stories about  prophecy or spiritual dreams. On the other hand, scripture speaks extensively about God's gift of His Spirit, dwelling in believers. So, what happen...

Every great story has that moment when everything that was, and everything that will be, makes a dramatic turn because of the events of that moment. Birth of child, the day she said yes, a tearful goodbye, and acceptance letter. It’s not just the moment that made the change, it’s the liminal nature of the moment – a translation on your part that you’ll never be the same because of what has happene...

What is the gospel? A common word, inside and outside of the church, but it's not the easiest to define. Many Christians might say that the gospel is the most important thing to them, but if pressed to clearly explain it, it'd be an uphill climb. This week, we are going to identify a clear definition of the gospel, some real life barriers to sharing it with others and some resources for...
