Ridgepoint Sermon Audio

In a city full of idols and competing worldviews, Paul models how to share the Gospel with both truth and cultural sensitivity. This message from Acts 17 challenges us to build bridges, not walls, as we engage a world in need of Jesus.

On Paul’s road trip to Philippi, we see how the gospel changes lives—from a wealthy businesswoman to a desperate jailer. Whether we’re facing open doors or hard days, God still nudges us toward people, places, and purpose.

As we kick off this new teaching series, we explore Paul's first missionary journey where the early church leaders fasted, prayed, and listened to the Holy Spirit's direction before sending Paul and Barnabas on mission. The natural question for us to ask today then is, "Where is God sending you?"

Jesus didn’t just talk about serving—He picked up a towel and showed us how. In this message, we look at His love, humility, and sacrifice, and how we’re invited to follow His example and experience the joy and blessing of serving others.

Samson's story ends in failure—but not without hope. In this message, we see how God can still redeem our worst mistakes and give strength for one more chance.

Samson’s strength was legendary—but his choices were often disastrous. In this message, Pastor Brent unpacks four wild stories from Samson’s life and challenges us to consider where our strength truly comes from and where our steps are leading us.

Samson’s story begins with a miracle, a mission, and a lot of parenting challenges. In this message, Pastor Brent explores how Manoah and his wife navigated raising a child set apart for God—and what their example can teach us about purposeful parenting today.

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Brent reminded us that the Holy Spirit is not just a mysterious force—we’re invited into friendship with Him. Just like a true friend, the Spirit helps, teaches, challenges, and transforms us as we follow Jesus.

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Anabaptist movement—a bold, new branch of Christianity that gave rise to our MB family of faith. It’s a legacy worth celebrating! This Sunday, Matt Ehresman looks back on our roots and leans into one of Jesus’ most radical and relevant commands for us today.

Pastor Andy challenges us to choose faith over fear by trusting that God is with us in every circumstance--just as He was with Joseph. When we truly believe in God's presence and purpose, it changes how we respond to hardship, uncertainty, and disappointment.

Pastor Joe unpacks the story of Joseph and his brothers to explore what true forgiveness looks like—and why it often requires more than just saying the words. Through biblical insight and real-life examples, we’re reminded that forgiveness is not about forgetting, but about healing and freedom for both sides.

This week we explore the early story of Joseph and the ripple effect of his choices—some clearly right or wrong, others much more complicated. From favoritism and betrayal to dreams and discernment, we’re reminded that every decision we make shapes the story we’re living.

This week our four ministry residents share parts of their stories, encouraging us from God’s word around the sermon series theme of Multiple Choice. These four (Michael Clark, Zach Henneberg, Melanie Wiebe, and Luke Zimmerman) have been a part of our inaugural Leadership Academy, a nine-month residency program for people to grow in their spiritual leadership capacity.

Some decisions have clear moral implications, while others require seeking godly counsel and listening for God's guidance. As we kick off a new teaching series, Pastor Brent encourages us to focus on loving God and others regardless of our specific choices, maintaining an "open ear and soft heart" to divine direction.

As we walk through the familiar Easter story, Pastor Brent illustrates how the Roman rulers thought they were killing a heretic, but actually coronating the King. Choose Jesus as YOUR King for purpose, life, and hope!

This week Pastor Brent walks us through the final hours of Jesus' life. Despite having the power to save Himself, Jesus willingly endured betrayal, torture, and crucifixion—all because of His deep and powerful love for humanity.

Pastor Brent's sermon on Mark 13 examines Jesus' teachings about the end times, explaining that while there will be signs like wars, earthquakes, and tribulation preceding Christ's return, the specific timing remains known only to God. The message emphasizes that being "destiny ready" through salvation and "at work ready" through faithful service matters more than understanding all the prophetic d...

For this special Student Sunday message, Pastor Kyle highlights how friendships are vital during adolescence for identity, emotional support, and spiritual growth, with Jesus as the ultimate model of true friendship. 

Jesus is the true King who deserves our loyalty—not just because of what He can do for us, but because of who He is. The Palm Sunday story shows how easy it is to want the perks of His kingdom without fully submitting to His rule. But real discipleship means trusting His love and choosing to follow Him completely.

This week Pastor Brent explores the concept of humility, contrasting it with worldly systems of power and pride. He illustrates how Jesus modeled true humility by coming to serve rather than be served, and challenges us to identify areas where we need to increase humility in our relationships with God and others.

Pastor Brent discusses the story of the rich young ruler from Mark 10:17-27, emphasizing that Jesus desires not only our salvation but also our complete surrender. The greatest challenge for Christians is surrendering completely to Jesus rather than holding onto wealth or other areas of control.

This week Pastor Joe explores Mark 8:27-38, focusing on Peter's declaration of Jesus as the Messiah and Jesus' subsequent call for disciples to take up their cross and follow him. Joe compares the Christian journey to "chaosmos" (a combination of chaos and cosmos), noting that while following Jesus involves sacrifice and challenges, it also brings the grace of God that puts us back together even a...

Jesus faced rejection when He taught in His hometown of Nazareth. Even for those who saw Jesus firsthand, not everyone believed in Him. The same is true for our world today. This week Pastor Brent outlines common obstacles that keep people from faith in Jesus, and while there are no easy answers, believers need to represent Jesus well, and remember that the Holy Spirit will continue His work.

In Mark 5, Jesus responds to the faith of both a desperate father and a suffering woman, demonstrating His power over illness and death. While Jesus always healed those with faith in the Gospels, this sermon explores why God sometimes says "no" to our faithful prayers today.

Pastor Brent explores the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4:1-20, explaining how the four different types of soil (hard, rocky, thorny, and good) represent different ways people's hearts receive God's Word. Brent emphasizes that while Christians and non-Christians alike can have any type of "soil" in their hearts, achieving "good soil" requires both honest self-examination and God's help to produce...
