The Point VA

Now that we’re no longer under the tyranny of the law, can we live any way that we please? Is it ok to dabble in pornography? How far is too far to go physically in a dating relationship? Is my prayer request really a request or an opportunity to gossip? In the final week of our Whole Again series, Pastor Gabe teaches from the end of Romans 6 of our new motivation, our new mindset, and our new pow...

If you have placed your faith in Jesus then you are free from the power of sin. So why do we sometimes feel drawn to something to which we are no longer a slave? This week, we continue with week 3 of our Whole Again series by looking at Romans 6:11-14, where we’ll talk about why we sometimes feel this way and what we can do about it.

It’s easy to go through seasons of life and feel stuck. Oftentimes we are found asking ourselves, “What’s wrong with me?” Whether you’ve hit a wall, developed a bad habit, or just never known what your life could look like under complete control, Paul’s words in Romans 6 bring hope to a bleak situation. This week, we will continue our Whole Again series by looking at Romans 6:6-11, which brings cl...

In week 1 of our series Whole Again, we merge into the middle of one of Paul’s most well known writings, the book of Romans. In Romans 6 we find a clear teaching on baptism, how a believer’s relationship with sin must change, and ultimately we get a picture of how Jesus longs to make us whole.

One of our greatest resources in learning new habits of love are the individuals, marriages, and relationships within our very own body. In week two of our series, Habits of Healthy Love, Pastor Gabe and Kari lead a panel discussion with both couples and singles in our church family on healthy relational habits that have led to greater capacity for love.

For many of us, the issues that we have regarding relationships and marriage stem from how we think about love. And the way we think eventually produces habits. One of the greatest misunderstandings in this discussion is that if I meet the “right” person or if I’m married to the “right” person, then love will work. In week one of this series, Pastor Gabe dispels The Right Person Myth, and gives us...

Most of us spend the majority of our lives with our minds consumed by worry or consumed by anger. Worry on the front side of an outcome and anger after the outcome has occurred. In the final week of our series on Jonah, A Better Way, Pastor Gabe teaches from Jonah 4 on the place of rest that’s found between the two extremes.

215 million Christians live in countries where they are subject to hostilities ranging from social discrimination and harassment, to physical violence, imprisonment, and even death. Christians are now murdered in more countries than ever before and are persecuted in more countries than any other religious group. Watch as Dr. Vernon Brewer shares about the persecution of the church and our role in...

In our hurry through life it’s very easy to rush by life-changing and defining moments. We pray and ask God to move in our lives and when God-moments present themselves we dismiss them as insignificant or unimportant. In week three of our series, A Better Way, Pastor Gabe teaches from Jonah 3 on the ongoing frustration in Jonah’s heart and how to resolve that tension in our own hearts as well.

When we hear the name Jonah, our thoughts immediately rush to the whale in the story. In week 2 of our series, A Better Way, Pastor Gabe teaches from Jonah 2 that while God uses a great fish in Jonah’s life, the fish is not the point of the story. There’s an even greater miracle that occurs: the work in Jonah’s heart. And it’s that same work that God longs to do in our hearts as well.

Everyone of us knows what it’s like to navigate seasons of fog and uncertainty. Surely 2017 had it’s share of those seasons and you can be certain that 2018 will as well. In week one of A Better Way, Pastor Gabe begins this teaching series in the book of Jonah on the key to orienting our lives as we begin this new year.

Watch as Pastor Dave talks with several of our staff members about their favorite parts of 2017 and what they are looking forward to seeing God do it 2018.

Christmas is a reminder that we don’t always see as God sees. In this message Pastor Gabe teaches from Micah 5:2 on those circumstances and how God still has a purpose for people that we may have lost hope in… including ourselves.

When it comes to Christmas we all have so many emotions, expectations, and desires that we try to manage against what we believe to be reality. Some of us choose to not expect so much; others lose hope all together. In this week’s message Pastor Gabe teaches from another promise implied in Matthew 1:1, and the encouragement to center our hope on the One Who is always true to His promises.

This Christmas season finds many of us trying to make sense out of the current season of life we find ourselves in. You’re trying to produce sense out of what seems senseless; purpose out of that which feels purposeless. You’re craving fulfillment. In week 2 of our series, Prepare Him Room, Pastor Gabe teaches on the fulfillment that God wants to bring out of the darkest struggles and seasons of o...

While Christmas should be one of the happiest seasons of the year the reality is that for most it’s a season of diminished hope. In week 1 of our series, Prepare Him Room, Pastor Gabe teaches from one of the most hope-filled verses in all of the New Testament and the meaning of this verse for our darkest days.

Following Jesus is both a transformation and a process. It changes everything and opens up our hearts to more of what God has for us. Watch as Pastor Tim shares a special message on how we are freed from sin and what life in the family of God is meant to be.

For thousands of years Psalm 118 has been a source of hope for those in the dark valleys of life. In week three of our series, Pastor Gabe teaches from the final part of Psalm 118 on the truth that filled David’s heart with hope and that has the same power for us as well.

While the backstory of Psalm 118 is one of distress, David never allowed an awareness of his enemies to control him. In week two of Psalm 118, Pastor Gabe teaches on the key to victory over surrounding armies, and while it begins with Jehovah at the center, there’s a responsibility that David must embrace as he enters battle. It’s the same responsibility that we must have the courage to embrace as...

When negative circumstances surface it's very easy for them to become the center of our lives. Psalm 118 is a Psalm of distress though the distress never becomes the focal point of the author. In week one of our series on Psalm 118, Pastor Gabe teaches from the first nine verses on the key to sanity in the midst of distress.

It’s easy to blame someone else when you find yourself in the middle of conflict. Whether you’re in conflict with others, with God, or with yourself, do you ever wonder how to rise above it? In week three of our series, One Verse, we’re talking about James 4:6, the role that pride plays in the conflicts of life and how you can create space for humility.

In week two of our series, One Verse, Pastor Gabe and Kari share from a passage of Scripture that God has used to shape The Point as we celebrate eight years as a church.

Throughout our faith journey, we have all had doubts. So often we try to bury these doubts and pretend they don’t exist; but Jesus isn’t scared of our doubts, and He certainly doesn’t turn away from us when we doubt. For the first week of our series, One Verse, we will study Mark 9 to show how leveraging our doubts can greatly increase our faith and drive us closer to Jesus.

In our lowest moments, in the seasons of uncertainty, in the face of our greatest fears, God loves to turn the tables. In the final week of our series, If These Walls Could Talk, Pastor Gabe teaches on the great reversals of Esther and how God longs to do the same work in our lives as well.
