Ridge Point Church Sermons

As Paul writes to the Ephesians, he takes a moment to write about the suffering he is facing by being imprisoned. But it isn’t a complaint. It isn’t even a prayer request. Instead, he tells them that his suffering is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill his calling. Through this passage, we learn that because of our gospel identity, we can see that our hardships have a purpose to dispense and displa...

When Paul told the Ephesians that they were a temple of the Lord, fitly framed together for the habitation of God, they understood full implications of this. In this message, we trace what “temple” is through the whole of Scripture, and see something amazing about our Gospel identity. It’s a truth that can blow our minds, fill our hearts, and motivate us further to live holy lives for God! Scriptu...

In this message, we see how the blood of Jesus Christ not only reconciled us to God, but also reconciled us to other people. Just as the Gentiles were alienated from the promises of God to Israel, we were completely alienated by our sin. But now in Christ, instead of alienation, there is reconciliation. And because of this, we should strive to live in unity with each other. Scripture: Ephesians 2:...

As the apostle Paul continues helping the Ephesians understand their gospel identity, he takes the time to remind them of who they were prior to being saved. Sometimes we forget just how bad off we were before we came to know Jesus. In this message, we are reminded of how bad we used to be, how good God is, and how we should consistently respond in faith. Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10 _______ Ridge...

Paul transitions in these verse to what he is praying for in regards to the Ephesian Christians. He understood that although everything he had just said is true about those who are in Christ, the sad reality is that some still live a life that is contrary to that gospel identity. But he wants them to fully experience how that impacts your heart, mind, and actions. And so he shares with them what h...

Paul continues his thoughts on who we are in Christ, and specifically uncovers the idea of our wealth in Christ. We are unbelievably wealthy in Jesus. In this message, we discover that the riches we have in Christ are different and far superior to the riches the world has. And we are challenged to think and live in light of this spiritual wealth! Scripture: Ephesians 1:7-14 _______ Ridge Point exi...

As we begin studying the book of Ephesians, we notice that Paul is writing to people who are already believers in Jesus. His primary purpose in the first few chapters is to really tell them who they really are now! And every single one of these things is true about us, if we have placed our faith and trust in Jesus for salvation. We have access to some “out of this world” spiritual blessings! Scri...

In this message, we learn our new theme for 2022. Often, we, as Christians, don’t experience victory because we do not fully understand who we are in Christ. But it is vital that we understand who God says we are when we are placed in Christ. And as we learn and grow in our God-given identity, a natural outflow of His way of living takes place in our everyday lives. Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 _____...

Throughout the Christmas stories, there are 4 “Fear Not” statements said from an angel to humans. In this message, we study and evaluate when an angel said “Fear Not” to a group of shepherds. And from this encounter, we learn that we have no need to fear where we stand with God. Because of the good news the angel brought to the shepherds, we can have peace and hope, knowing that the Savior has com...

Throughout the Christmas stories, there are 4 “Fear Not” statements said from an angel to humans. In this message, we study and evaluate when an angel said “Fear Not” to a man named Joseph. And from the life of Joseph we come to learn that we don’t need to fear what others might think or fear unknown details of God’s call. Instead, we need to live to please God, by faith, trusting and obeying His...

Throughout the Christmas stories, there are 4 “Fear Not” statements said from an angel to humans. In this message, we study and evaluate when an angel said “Fear Not” to a young woman named Mary. From it we learn that although God’s calling for our lives seems impossible, inconvenient or just different from our plans, we have no need to be afraid. God’s grace is available to us to strengthen and e...

Throughout the Christmas stories, there are 4 “Fear Not” statements said from an angel to humans. In this message, we study and evaluate when an angel said “Fear Not” to a man named Zacharias. From it we learn that just because it seems God is quiet, doesn’t mean that He has quit. We have no need to fear in times of silence, because God is still there even when we don’t see Him. Scripture: Luke 1:...

As we close out our study of the book of Jonah, we find out that Jonah is not happy about the repentance of the Ninevites. In fact, he is angry with God because of it. But again, in His grace, God takes the time to teach Jonah about His gracious character. From it, we learn that we can’t set parameters on the grace of God. It is unlimited and unconditional. Furthermore, God desires that we would d...

As we continue studying the book of Jonah, we see God coming to His prophet again with the message He wants declared to Nineveh. But this time, Jonah obeys! And as a result, one of the greatest revivals ever happens. Once again, we see God’s grace on display as His grace leads Jonah to obedience and Nineveh to repentance. Scripture: Jonah 3 _______ Ridge Point exists to elevate Jesus, equip believ...

As we continue studying the book of Jonah, we find Jonah finally ready to pray in the belly of the fish. Interestingly enough, it is not a prayer for deliverance, but a prayer of repentance. Yet, we see Jonah delivered from the belly of the fish. From this chapter we learn that life’s greatest depths reveal God’s deepest love. Scripture: Jonah 2 _______ Ridge Point exists to elevate Jesus, equip b...

As we begin our series in the book of Jonah, we start to realize that this is much more than just a story about a man getting swallowed by a fish. This is a book where God is revealing Himself to us in an amazing way! And in this first chapter, we see that we can run, but we can't hide from God's grace. It is always pursuing and intervening in our lives to bring us back to Him.  Scripture: Jo...

In Philippians, we see the apostle Paul calling for unity in the church. As we travel through the passage, we see that we should all be unified around the same purpose, with the same mindset, for the glory of the same Savior, ultimately bringing us the same joy. Scripture: Philippians 1:27-2:18
