LifePoint Church Longwood

In this final message in the trilogy of messages on Stephen, we learn about his fate and the effect his death had on the spread of Christianity.

Stephen uses his words to reiterate how important it is to accept Jesus. So often we can deny him in our words and actions. Listen as Pastor Phil explores Stephen's explosive sermon.

What we know about Stephen is that he was a man of great faith and integrity, even in the face of death. Where would we be without his model of bravery and resolve in the church? 

The Bible has so much practical information in it! Today's message is a timely reminder about how important our words are. 

When Jesus got stressed out he took some time away fromt he crowds and the pressure. As a matter of fact, he did this often. As modern day Christians, are we able and willing to "get alone" when we need to?

LifePoint Elder, JJ West, discusses how participating in Offtober can help families reconnect. This connection is the way God intended families to be. 

Pastor Phil and JJ recently sat down at to talk about emotional wellness within the context of Christianity. 

This week's Offtober idea is simple: sign off from social media and spend some time reconnecting with your friends--in real life! 

When's the last time you were quiet, really quiet, and listened to what God had to say to you? LifePoint Elder, JJ West, explores the notion of "unplugging" our lives in order to hear more of what God might be trying to say to us, things we could hear if we weren't surrounded by such digital noise. 

It's safe to say that when God created Adam and Eve they were perfectly "wired," meaning, they we exactly as God intended them to be. However, when sin entered the picture it's like their wires became "crossed" and it's caused a load of problems for humanity ever since then. Today's message is about how to rewire ourselves in the image of Christ. 

Pastor Phil speaks with the counselors of Sparrow Christian Counseling to hear how counseling with a Biblical basis can really help transform lives. 

The early chruch grew when its leaders could pick others to help serve each other. The question is, would you be willing to serve like the seven highlighted in Acts? 

Pastor Phil explains the Biblical definition for a Biblical term that we should apply to our daily lives. 

Peter and the rest of the early believers spoke the plain and bold truth about Christ, no matter the cost. Learn how we can apply their audacity to today's world. 

How amazing would it be for the church to be "one heart and soul" today? For the first century church, only weeks or months old, that was a reality. If we struggle to be as unified as they were, what are the obstacles that keep us from being unified? 

Lots of us struggle with self-image and self-worth. The Bible tells us about these struggles and explains how to get ourselves on track. The clearer we see God, the clearer we see ourselves. Listen to learn more! 

Who would think that a couple uneducated "common" men such as Peter and John could speak with such power and authority? This is yet another sign of the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of our early church brothers and sisters. Listen in and find out what this could mean for you and your life.

In this week's sermon, Children's Pastor Dani Short uses the story of Joseph to help us see God as our deliverer, savior, and healer. 

What is the most effective proof of the Gospel? How do you know it's working? Changed and transformed lives are the number one way to gague the effectiveness of the Gospel. Listen as Pastor Phil explores these questions more.

Every once in a while it's good to take inventory of our lives, financially, emotionally, and even spiritually. This passage of scripture serves as a tremendous example of where our hearts and minds should be regarding the regular activities associated with community church life. Thanks for listening and enjoy! 

When we read Acts, Chapter 2 we are often compelled by the extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples. Interestingly, there's a much bigger storyline at play than just wind, fire, tongues, and language. Might there be a gift to the early church that was given on that day - not of the Holy Spirit himself, but given BY Him? 

Sure, we go to church every week. We hear sermons, sing songs, pass the plate, and so on. But where did it all begin? Learn about our history as we delve into the book of Acts--the history book for the earliest recounting of Christianity. 

Men, this is who you are as deemed by God. Ladies, here is how you answer that deep God given longing deep inside of you.  When we do this, things move towards the way God had intended it to be from the beginning. 

We look closer at how to be "On Guard" and how to persevere against this almost "hidden" heresy that sometimes creeps into the church. As always, we will look below the surface at timeless Scriptural truths that shed light on our lives today.  

We look closer at our charge to defend and persevere against this almost "hidden" heresy that sometimes creeps into the church and at the results of falling into it's clutches. We look also at our charge to "stand on guard" so as not to compromise our faith. Again, we will look below the surface at timeless Scriptural truths that shed light on our lives today.
