LifePointe Church Sermon of the Week

"The Presence of God" is a central theme of God's redemptive story. This week we kick off a new series where explore the truth that God's intention is for us to dwell with Him. From the beginning to the end, this is God's intention for our existence. Join us as we explore this very practical theme in the life of a believer.

Join us as we wrap up our series called Lifestyle Christianity by talking about an aspect of our life that is not often talked about - our mind and intellect. Today we welcome guest Dr. Jim Bradford, Phd in aerospace engineering and longtime pastor as he explores the compatibility of faith and science.

As followers of Jesus, we have to embrace the supernatural aspect of our faith. The life and redemption of Jesus is a spiritual thing, it's not quantifiable or even logical. Join us as we explore Romans 15 through the perspective of lifestyle Christianity

The single greatest descriptor of a follower of Jesus is love. But what is our definition of love? Join us as we look at Romans 13 and a lifestyle of love.

The gospel means something for our lives within the four walls of our home. We all have an opportunity and a responsibility to affect the tone of spiritual life in our home. Join us as we look at Romans 12:9-21.

Jesus didn't come to save a day of the week. He didn't come to build a building. Jesus came to influence and change our entire way of life. That's why Monday matters. In this message we kickoff an entire series of messages challenging our faith to the next level.

Today we welcome guest Tony Meyer, Worship and Discipleship pastor at LifeChurch in Coralville. Tony talks about how what we believe about God greatly determines how we live. Many times though we are susceptible to lies. Today, we look at Ephesians 2:1-9 and debunk three lies of the Enemy.

The definition of normal is all about context. Often times we accept a definition of the normal Christian life that is far less than what we read about in Scripture. In this Sunday evening service, guest Tony Meyer teaches on the normal Christian life from Acts 3.

There's a difference between experiencing something first hand and something second hand. Jesus came so that each person can experience first hand His work in their life. Join us as we explore authentic first hand relationship with Jesus in 1 Corinthians 3

God can be known. And there is a difference between knowing about God and truly knowing God. Join us as we explore 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 and talk about the goodness of truly knowing God.

It is possible to settle for a form of godliness without power. It's form without substance. But Jesus came for so much more. Join us as we explore the truth that gospel has power for our daily lives.

Join us as we kick off a 10-month theme for our church community based on 1 Corinthians 2:4-5. The message of Jesus is not just a message of words but of power that translates to our daily lives.

In the final message in the True Riches series, we look at God's heart of generosity displayed in the person of Jesus. We have the opportunity to represent God's generosity to other people.

The book of Proverbs is not quiet about money. Repeatedly King Solomon describes how wisdom relates to our handling of money. Join us as we unpack 7 principles of true riches.

In one of the most important messages in this series, Pastor Drew teaches on the principle of first things. This principle sets the tone and the ground work for those who want Jesus to be master and Lord over their finances.

As we continue talking about the issue of money we come to a key theme regarding our money. Jesus continually gives us the illustration of being stewards instead of owners when it comes to our earthly blessings. Join us as we explore the tensions and joys of this principle.

In this message, Pastor Drew sets the foundation for our new sermon series, True Riches. Luke 16:10-13, the theme passage for the following weeks, lays the groundwork for how how posture should be before the Lord concerning money, tithing and giving and wealth.

Guest Daniel Quinby (Pastor at UNI Chi Alpha) shares an encouraging message on the upside-down principle in the kingdom of heaven from the parable of the mustard seed.

In our current culture, justice is talked about a lot. And it wasn't much different two thousand years ago. Justice is a hope in all of our hearts. The Jews were expecting their messiah to bring justice to their nation. But justice in the Kingdom of Heaven is different from justice that we think and know in this world. Jesus brought a justice that reflects who God is.

The Kingdom of Heaven has different priorities. The priority of heaven is first and foremost the lost. We celebrate if we are found in Christ but a revelation of the grace of God in our life should push us outwardly with loving compassion for the lost. Join us as we explore this priority of the kingdom in the book of Matthew.

The kingdom of heaven is fully relevant for today. Jesus came and demonstrated good news that set people free and redefine their lives now. But the kingdom of heaven is also an eternal kingdom. It's not only relevant for today, it is also an eternal hope for the age to come.

The Kingdom that Jesus came to declare and invite us into is unlike any other kingdom of this world. The values and principles are contrary to this world. Join us as we begin a journey of exploring the kingdom of heaven through the book of Matthew.

We wrap the Jesus Church series by looking at the last portion of the book Acts. In this part of the story of the early church, we see the Jesus Church coming head to head with some of the most powerful forces of her day. We should envision the Church as a powerful influence in this world.

What if there was more to church than just attending and watching a few others do all the ministry of the church? What if Jesus called a group of average men to change the world to show us that God wants to use us? Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Acts.

The Jesus Church is an unstoppable church. We know how the story ends. We don't have to be victims to our circumstances, instead we can view our lives through the lens of the Jesus Church.
