Ridge Point Church Sermons

In Luke 14, Jesus confronts five different areas of the human heart: our compassion, our pride, our generosity, our assumptions about salvation, and our commitment to follow Him. Each conversation points to one central reality - Every encounter with Jesus and His Word demands a response. As we face these uncomfortable truths, we're invited not merely to admire Jesus, but to humble ourselves be...

Are you trusting the right thing for eternity? In this message, we see Jesus respond to a question about who will be saved by turning the focus back on His listeners. Rather than satisfying their curiosity, He lovingly exposes the false confidences people often place their hope in—heritage, religious experience, status, and privilege—and points them to the only One who can truly save. This message...

In this message, we are challenged with a simple question: What has your attention? Jesus confronts people who were focused on the failures of others, a synagogue ruler who was more concerned with his preferences than a hurting person, and a crowd that was looking for God's kingdom in all the wrong places. Through each encounter, Jesus redirects their attention—and ours—back to what truly matt...

In this message, we see Jesus confront us with a sobering reality: many people delay responding to Him until it's too late. Through five searching questions, Jesus calls us to examine our readiness for His return, our faithfulness while we wait, our willingness to follow Him when it costs us something, our response to the truth He has made clear, and whether we have truly made peace with God....

In this message, we explored why forgiveness is one of the hardest commands in the Christian life and why the gospel is both our motive and our model for extending it to others. Looking at the parable of the unforgiving servant, the forgiveness of Christ, and the relationship between repentance and restoration, we were reminded that believers have been forgiven an immeasurable debt through Jesus C...

In this message, we see Jesus address three issues that affect every one of us: fear, greed, and worry. While they may seem unrelated, Jesus reveals that they all point to the same deeper issue—trust. Through His warnings about hypocrisy, the parable of the rich fool, and His teaching on anxiety, Jesus confronts the things we often rely on instead of God. This message explores three diagnostic que...

In this message, we see Jesus confrontsthe Pharisees and expose the danger of external religion without genuine heart transformation. This message walks through seven Pharisaical tendencies that still show up in our lives today: caring more about appearances than holiness, valuing performance over love, seeking recognition over humility, concealing sin, controlling people, protecting tradition, an...

In this message, we see that unbelief is often not about a lack of evidence, but about hardened hearts. After Jesus casts out a demon, the crowd responds in several different ways. Some accuse Him of working by Satan’s power, some admire Him without obeying Him, and others demand even more proof before they will believe. Through Jesus’ responses, we are reminded that He is greater than Jonah, grea...

In this message, we are confronted with an uncomfortable truth: we are more spiritually needy than we think. In this message, we walk through why we struggle to pray, how Jesus teaches us to depend upon the Father, and why persistent prayer is ultimately about deeper communion with God Himself. Through awareness, alignment, persistence, and trust, we are reminded that the greatest gift the Father...

In this message, we explore “The Danger of Almost.” It’s possible to be close to truth, close to people, and even close to Jesus—yet still miss what matters most. Through the account of the lawyer, the Good Samaritan, and Mary and Martha, Jesus exposes three common dangers in the Christian life: knowing the right answers without living them out, choosing convenience over compassion, and serving Je...

So Jesus gives a warning to those who have rejected Him, despite seeing many of His works. And then He turns to His disciples and reminds them that what they have seen and heard is something many have longed for. Through all of it, we learn that greater revelation produce...

In this message, we look at a few times where the disciples completely miss what Jesus is doing and saying, because they are distracted with their own greatness, their own security, and their own sense of justice. As we look at it, we evaluate ourselves, and whether we are also living out “distracted discipleship.”  Study: Beholding Our Savior — Luke 8-10 Scripture: Luke 9:37-62 Speaker: Pastor Mi...

In this message, we listen in on conversations that Jesus is having with His disciples. They are beginning to understand who He is more clearly.

The situations in this passage cause us to evaluate whether we are seeing Jesus cle...

In this message, we see Jesus send out the disciples to do ministry themselves.

In this message, we see Jesus step into four situations with authority and power. Each one shows people in circumstances that are out of control, out of resources, or out of hope.

In this message, we learn from Jesus, who is teaching His followers about hearing the Word of God rightly, with our hearts.

In this message, we evaluate what Paul said he was feeling when he was in Troas, and there was uncertainty on where to go. It was something that ALL of us feel at times, the feeling of anxiety. And yet, Paul teaches us that, because of Jesus, we don’t have to be anxious or afraid. We can trust in our God, who knows where He is taking us! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:12-17 Speaker: Adam Pearlstein __...

In this message, we see an interesting scene transpire as Jesus eats dinner at a Pharisee’s house. A sinful woman displays an overflowing love for Jesus, in a way that offends the Pharisee.

In this message, we look at several accounts of miracles and encounters that drum up questions, and Jesus has answers for each of them. Every turn of the story, Jesus responds differently than those around Him. And if we are going to follow Jesus, we must allow His responses to teach us and shape how we live for Him and love others.

But what we find is that both towns missed who Jesus really was and what His purpose was. From these stories, we learn to evaluate ourselves. Are we missing Jesus because of preconceptions or misunderstandings?  Study: Following the Savior — Luke 3-7 Sc...
