Point View Church

We continued our journey through Our Values as a church, looking at our 3rd value Authentictiy: - "We create space for everyone to discover and embrace their God given identity, no matter where they are on the journey." What ignites this kind of culture?

This past Sunday we looked at our second value: Transformation So how do we change? If we are honest we try all the self help books, listen the latest ideas but it never sticks and it just becomes frustrating. Maybe we are looking at transformation the wrong way? Check out this message from Pastor Jonny.

This past Sunday we kicked off our new series "Our Values". As the transition of leadership has taken place, Pastor Jonny sets out the vision and values of the church looking at Part 1 - Spirit Led. This is the first and most important value to us: Value 1 - "To walk in step with the Holy Spirit who guide’s and empowers our lives." To be "Spirit Led" means to be led in - Position, Posture and Powe...

This past Sunday we continued with our transition as we honored the elders and welcomed the new leadership team. We also spoke and prayed into the prophecies of the house for the us to dare to dream again!

In Part 2 of this mini-series, Pastor Craig examines the responsibilities of the shepherd to the sheep. This was the message presented to Pastors Jonny & Rachel Taplin at their service of installation as Senior Pastors of Covenant Life Fellowship.

This past Saturday we took time to honor and thank Pastors Craig & Wendy for the years of service, as we prepared for the transition of leadership.

The “Chief Shepherd” has provided for the local church through the ministry of pastors. Part one of this two-part series examines the responsibility of the sheep toward the shepherd. While church history is full of tragic tales of the shepherd/sheep relationship, simple obedience to Scripture can bring peace and stability to the local church.

Special guest Pastor Eric Ferguson spoke on Philippians 4:4-9 - Anxiety and fear fill our lives but Paul gives us encouragement through this passage. Rejoice, Prayer and give thanksgiving as keys to live a life in Jesus. Enjoy this great message

This past Sunday Pastor Craig spoke from Philippians 3. “Beware of Dogs” is a phrase that is common to us but has its origin in the Bible. Paul warns the Philippian church that there is a danger lurking among their members. The danger involved the purity of the gospel message that was being defiled by false teachers. This message explores the danger in Philippi and reveals the same danger that thr...

We continued our teaching series on Paul’s letter to the Philippians this past Sunday. One the most important themes in Paul's letters to the church is unity. In Chapter 2 we see the kind of life we are called to as followers of Jesus, that holds together unity and interest of others.

Pastor Jonny begins our series on Paul’s letter to the Philippians by taking us through chapter 1. The lens we see life through determines everything in life. Paul makes this big statement, "to live is Christ to die is gain" which sets us through a powerful way of living.

It was so great being together this past Sunday!!! We took time to stop hit the pause button and review the 7 principles of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality that has been a really life changing series. Hear from different peoples experiences of the messages and how they were impacted. Enjoy!

This past Sunday saw the last message in our series of Emotional Healthy Spirituality -Part 7 "Slow Down To Lead With Integrity". To listen well we must be slow to speak. To rest well we must learn patterns of slowing down. The wilderness and solitude times in Jesus Life were places of strengthening not weakness and made overcoming temptations possible. Enjoy this message from Pastor Jonny.

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny spoke on Part 6 -"Embodiment: The Model of Love" from our message series Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. The primary job of the chuch in the world is to love well! As we develop the 5 principles of emotional health we are able to love well. Philippians 2 speaks of love that entered our world which we are to model. Enjoy this message!

Amazing message from Pastor Craig this past Sunday, dealing with the not-so-fun topic of grief. It is a subject that is often avoided by the Church, especially in American culture. Yet Scripture has much to say regarding its inevitability and its value in our lives. Have a listen or re-listen to this important message.

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny spoke on  Part 4 -"Receive The Gift of Limits" of our message series Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. This deep anxiety of not measuring up or not feeling valuable that drives us to say "Yes" yet again. Another event, another stretch of truth to feel accepted... we become exhausted. This pain is as old as the Garden. One tree was forbidden, a limit to us. A lie...

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny continued our series of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality with a look at "Living In Brokenness & Vulnerability. We either flee, fight or hide our brokenness. But God is calling us to open up and live lives of vulnerability. This is the place where change comes as we get honest with our seleves. Jesus is looking for Judah's. 

This past Sunday Pastor Craig continued our series of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality with part 2 - Break The Power Of The Past - Putting the past in proper perspective is a necessary part of our spiritual growth. Many Christians are stifled because they refuse to deal with their past. So how do we deal with this thing that we carry?

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny kicked off a new series "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" - Part 1 - Looking Beneath The Surface". To be a Spiritually whole person we must learn to explore the depths of our emotions and allow the work of our heavenly Father through it.

This past Sunday Pastor Craig spoke a messgae on "American Idols". The worship of idols is not limited to Third World Countries that are in bondage to pagan religions. Idolatry is alive and well in America, including in the church. This message reveals the danger of idolatry and provides tools to evaluate our own lives to identify any idols that we may be serving.  

This past Sunday Pastor Jonny spoke on the importance of words of a Father. Our Heavenly Father's words ignite and expand in us while also refining and defining us. This great reminder of balance is important for us as physical and spiritual Father's. Words are important! 

This past Sunday Pastor Craig gave an amazing message on the good news of the Kingdom. We often can live in the space of personal good news of the gospel, but it is good news for whole world, to transform people, place and culture! Enjoy!

Pastor Jonny spoke from Mark 9:14-29 where Jesus heals a demon possessed boy, the key phrase from this passage "I believe, Help my unbelief", a cry from a broken Father. We are a mixture of belief and unbelief. How do we wrestle with doubt in our belief? What are the things which compound our unbelief? Enjoy this message from this past Sunday.

This past Sunday Pastor Craig preached on the story of one man's Appalachian Trail journey. This message will inspire you to continue walking when faced with adversity. 

The word "Revival" has picked up baggage over our time but it is Gods design to work through us. To Turn us, Transform us and Transcend into culture. Pastor Jonny looked into the pattern of Revival through the return of Israel after exile and the heritage of Washington PA's own revival.
