LifePoint Church Longwood

Many people in today's society I'm living in darkness. Not physical darkness, but spiritual darkness. The most important question each of us must ask ourselves is, "where do I find light?" In the first message of three in this new teaching series, Pastor Phil talks about how God sent Jesus into this world to be the one, true light.

Lifepoint Christian Church presents: You are the invitation! Luke chapter 14, verses 15 through 24.

Looking beyond the command, it is important to look on both sides of this thing we call “Baptism”. Understanding what it means to be “drenched in the Holy Spirit."

Paul puts his own personal mark on the last few ideas in this very important letter. Find out what he has to say about the importance of the gospel and our temptation to boast about our own actions

We have the freedom to sow to the Spirit or to the flesh and when we use that freedom to choose and to sow, read Galatians 6, 7-10 so you can choose wisely!

What are we called to do if we see a brother or sister in Christ that is caught up in a sin? This is a critical part of our growth in Christ as it is part of how God has instructed us to "stay in step with the Spirit." But beware, it's not easy to step up and speak the truth. It's even harder to hear it.

This week we finish up our section on the Acts of the Flesh vs. The Fruits of The Spirit. There's a surprising twist in our scripture, however, when we come to find out exactly who is in charge of our spiritual growth as believers. I'll give you a hint. It's not you. Listen and be encouraged!  

Ever feel like there's a battle inside of you? Like you want to do the right thing but somehow against logic and reason you end up dropping the ball making a bad decision? It's been happening since the dawn of time. As it turns out, there is a battle inside you. A battle between the Flesh and The Spirit. They are dead-set against eachother and the question is, how can we listen to one and not the...

This week we continue our long-running teaching series in the book of Galatians. 

The Bible says so much about money. More than 800 Bible verses address the issue. Of the 29 parables that Jesus taught, more than half of them were on the topic of money. The truth is that when it comes to money, God is in control. How can we trust that? How can believe that? In this message, Pastor Phil shares 3 keys to trusting God financially.

We can learn the greatest of lessons from the smallest of God's creatures. Take a listen and find out how to save and invest money by observing the behavior of the humble Formicidae, a.k.a. the ANT.

Would you believe that God cares more about the money that you DON'T give to the church than we DO give. Don't believe me? Come to LifePoint on September 1st and find out!

It's easy to fall into the habit of pleasing others before pleasing God. But what is the effect of trying to make other humans happy when the task is so hard? Does it have something to do with a God-given desire to receive glory, commendation, or approval?

We live in a culture that doesn't celebrate taking a day of rest. Not REAL rest, anyway. Not the kind that God had in mind when he gave Moses the 10 Commandments. The Hebrews took this idea of rest very seriously, they called it "Sabbath." But what about you and I? What are we supposed to do about taking time to rest? How? When? How long? Listen and enjoy! God bless.

Description: What are the secrets to spiritual growth? Is this something that we are responsible for or does God take care of this alone? I believe that as brothers and sisters in Christ we each have some amount of influence in each others spiritual growth. Take a listen and see if you agree.

Description: Jesus took the time to get to the people that he ministered to. This is especially true during his conversation with The Woman At The Well. Here's a challenge for us - how much are we willing to get to know others? Is it possible that we need to break a few "rules" in order to do so.

 Hear Student Ministry Director, Jonny March, talk about the incredible idea of becoming sons and daughters to God through the acts of adoption.   For those who are led by the Spirit of God   are the children of God.   The Spirit   you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;   rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.   And by him we cry,  ...

This message given as part of an ongoing series in the book of Galatians. 

In a sea of spiritual voices how do we determine which are the best to listen to? Just like the Galatians, we have a daily choice to try and filter out those voices which are contrary to the pure and simple gospel of Christ, from those that are congruent to it's plain truth. In this message we ask two questions, "What is the result of listening to the wrong voices?" and "How do I determine the cor...

Paul asks a tough question to the church he founded in Galatia. To the once joyful believers he says, "Where is your joy?" The answer is simple; it disappeared the moment they began to entertain ideas of legalism and the influence of the first century Judiazers. In this message Pastor Phil share three observations regarding a proper faith. That is is "flexible, hospitable, and joyful." Listen and...

Each year at LifePoint the congregation has a chance to nominate elders to lead the church. In this sermon, Pastor Phil shows how Jesus model of leadership is the template for leadership within the church. It's starts with service. 

This year we asked LifePoint Partner, Tess Dykes, to share an encouraging message for Mother's Day. She shared her inspiring story as well as an encouragement to all moms, dads, and kids. Listen and be encouraged!

Oftentimes it feels like we cycle back and forth between feeling connected to God and feeling distant from him. But what is the truth about our redemption to God? Does our relationship really fluctuate or is it based on something much larger than our own perception? This message is a continuation of our series in the book of Galatians. Enjoy!

We welcome Pastor Joseph Thompson as our guest speaker this past Sunday. Joseph has extensive ministry experience and has preached to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. We hope his message will be an encouragement to you today. God bless!
