Psalms Mix, Week 6 Psalm 145 - A Song of Praise The beauty of the Psalms is that they call us back to worship the one true God…who, unlike the false gods, is ultimately worthy of praise. David and the other writers of the Psalms knew this – and by writing the Psalms they were leaving bread crumbs for us to follow so that we could find where the true source of life comes from. We see clearly in Psa...

Psalms Mix, Week 5 Psalm 107 Have you ever received something that, over time, turns out to be way better than you initially expected? How great is that?! What if, when it comes to God, there’s more to His love than we realize? In Psalm 107, King David implores us to be thankful for this love. Starting today, may we begin thanking God for being even better than we knew Him to be. Speaker: Joe Sees...

Psalms Mix, Week 4 Psalm 62 The Hebrew word “only” (AK!) starts six different lines of this psalm and that’s why it really is “the only psalm.” It’s a song of confident trust in ONLY the Lord and it really forces us to ask the question: In whom, or what, do we trust for our security in life?

For Mother’s Day, the Oak Pointe Lead Pastors unpack Proverbs 31:20-31 with a desire to affirm mothers and women in general that they are valuable, hard-working, a blessing, and worthy of praise.

Psalms Mix, Week 3 Songs for Every Season – Psalm 32 “Confession Songs” The Psalms teach us how to be honest with God. No matter what we’re going through, God wants us to talk to Him openly and honestly, even emotionally. The most critical time to sing a song to God is when we have failed Him, when we have sinned; when we’ve fallen flat on our face and made a mess of things. This week we’re talkin...

Psalms Mix, Week 2 Songs for Every Season - Psalm 57 “Fight Songs” Fight songs call out to the team and tell them that we believe in them. Against all odds, we cheer them on to push back the rival and lead us on to victory. It might surprise you to know that the Bible has its set of fight songs, too. About 16 of them are found in the book of Psalms, written mostly by the great King David during ti...

Psalms Mix, Week 1 Songs for Every Season - Psalm 13 God knew that in this fallen world we would need to know how to sing the blues. The Lament Psalms teach us how to process our way through the deep valleys of life, and Psalm 13 is the classic lament Psalm. While only 6 verses, it contains all three key elements of healthy lament.

Faith Over Fear, Week 4 Divine Interruption, Divine Invitation (John 12:1-11) First reactions to disruption are often negative. But, sometimes disruptions are good! They lead to new opportunities and lend new perspectives. When God allows disruption in our lives, He’s often seeking invent something for us, just as he did for a woman named Mary. It was the best thing that ever happened to her. Spea...

Faith Over Fear, Week 3 Firm Foundation It isn't often that our culture faces a challenge the magnitude of the COVID-19 crisis. As scary as it is, for Christ followers, it's an amazing opportunity to evaluate the strength of our foundation in Jesus, based on His parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7. Speaker: Mark Kaminski, Canton Campus Pastor

Faith Over Fear Message 2: Is Your God Big Enough? The challenge COVID-19 presents to our community, our nation, and our world seems huge. However, when we get a glimpse of the immensity of God, even our largest problems pale in comparison. Isaiah 40 is a great passage to remind us that a powerless people can lean on a powerful God in times of crisis.

Psalm 46 begins, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." This weekend, the pastors from our Oak Pointe family of churches share the stage. Pastor Bob  Shirock  (Novi), Pastor Paul Jenkinson (Milford) and Pastor Mark Kaminski (Canton) offer perspective and hope in the midst of uncertainty and fear. What does God intend to do through a global pandemic? What does He want us...

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 13 Romans #3 Romans 3, 4 & 5 provides the fullest description in the Bible of the doctrine of salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. It is of utmost importance that we understand what is written here, as it will shape our answer to the core question: How can we be made right with God? This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks...

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 12 Romans #2 God’s mirror comes out in chapter 2 and the reflection the self-righteous person sees is not good. Romans 2 personalizes the problem of human sin. It shows that all of us fall short of God’s standards, even those who think they are very good. This message is part of our God With Us series where Pastor Bob walks us through the entire Bible.

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 11 Romans #1 We cannot properly understand God’s solution for our problem unless we first understand the problem. Like a doctor who gives us a clear diagnosis before talking about remedies, Paul analyzes the human condition under the microscope and finally declares that we “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). This message is part of o...

Audience or Army? God builds winning armies! Be part of the army, not just a member of the audience here at Oak Pointe. Speaker: Joe Seestadt, Pastor in Residence

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 10 “Letters to a Troubled Church” (2 Corinthians 8–13) The letter of 2 Corinthians offers the greatest and most profound insights into the heart of a godly leader that we find anywhere in the New Testament. Because Paul had to defend his apostleship, he had to explain the heart and motives behind his actions. This opens up to us a wealth of teaching on what a godly...

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 9 “Letters to a Troubled Church” (2 Corinthians 1–7) We learn more about the heart of Paul from 2 Corinthians that any other letter. The difficulties of his relationship with this church caused him to express deep feelings and convictions as he pleaded with them to understand and accept his apostleship, and to grow to maturity as followers of Christ. This message i...

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 8 “A Letter to a Troubled Church - Part 2” (1 Corinthians 12-16) The use of spiritual gifts in the Corinthian church had become a contentious issue, since people were valuing certain gifts more than others. Paul encourages the church to focus on the spirit in which those gifts were being exercised, with themes of unity, humility, love, selflessness, and orderliness...

God With Us: Early Letters, Week 7 “A Letter to a Troubled Church” (1Corinthians 1-11) Corinth was one of the most progressive cities in the Roman empire, ideally situated to be a center for commerce, shipping, and trade. It was not easy to live as a Christian in ancient Corinth, and Paul’s letters to this church deal with the many problematic issues they faced - moral struggles, divisions, doctri...
