The Point VA

On REACH Sunday, we welcomed Noel Yeatts who shared an update on the impact our church family has had around the world through our partnership with World Help.

We pray first. Before anything and everything we pray first. Everything is better and anything is possible when we pray first. In this year's Pray First series Pastor Gabe teaches on prayer and the spiritual disciplines, or the practices that serve as a bridge between our beliefs and our our becoming. In week four we learn the power of a discipline that Jesus both modeled and called his disciples...

In Luke 5 Jesus forgives the sins of a paralyzed man, and then heals him, and verse 25 says that "amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, 'We have seen extraordinary things today'.” In this New Year's Day message, Pastor Gabe calls us to return to a heart posture of living in awe of what God has done, what He is doing, and His presence.

In this Christmas with The Point message, Pastor Gabe teaches from the Christmas narrative found in John 1, a passage that often gets overlooked at Christmas. Any area of tension in our lives, whether its unforgiveness, resentment, anger, or maybe a strained relationship or marriage, is the perfect opportunity for the Light of the Gospel to invade the darkness. This is the good news of Christmas.

Pastor James Hobson visits us from Hill City Church in Lynchburg, VA, on our fourth Sunday of Advent. Because of Jesus, we can have peace with ourselves, peace with God, and peace with humanity. This is only possible because Jesus went to war for our peace; the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding.

It's amazing the clarity, relief, and even joy that we can experience when we have the right context. It's true of every area of life, and especially true of our fears. In week 3 of our Advent series Pastor Gabe teaches from Luke 2 on the fear of the angels, and how the good news delivered to the angels brought context to their fear, and brings context to our fears as well.

What do you do when life takes the unexpected turn or doesn't work out the way you pictured? It's easy to give in to the discouragement. In week 2 of our Advent series Pastor Gabe teaches on the power of faith in King Jesus in the face of discouragement.

In week 1 of our Advent series, Pastor Tim teaches on the meaning of the first advent candle, the message of hope for God’s people. Hope starts with remembering what God has said and confidently expecting a certain future ahead.

In the final week of our series on James, Caleb teaches from James 5:13-20 and reinforces the spiritual discipline of turning to God first in every situation.

It's easy to lose heart when you feel that your current season of struggle is the way that it's always going to be. In week nine of our series on James, Pastor Gabe teaches from the opening verses of James 5 where we're reminded that life is very short window of time in light of eternity, God sees and knows our struggles, and that there are one of two judgments that await all of us.

It's very easy to get ahead of God in our planning and then expect Him to bless it after the fact. Is our mindset, “God, here’s what I’m going to do, now you bless it?” Or are we humbly seeking God for vision, wisdom, direction, and what’s most honoring to Him? In this week's message in our James series, Pastor Gabe teaches from the second half of James 4 on what it looks like to invite God into o...

Any time we step out in God's vision it's going to require sacrifice and we're going to face resistance from the enemy. In this week's message Pastor Gabe teaches from Nehemiah 4 and Nehemiah's rally cry for God's people who were under attack and were growing weary while rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, and he shares vision for our church as we look to the coming year.

We live in a broken, fallen world where conflict is inevitable. It touches all of us. In this week's message Pastor Gabe continues our series through James, teaching from James 4 on the source of and the solution for all conflict.

Who is wise and why? In week six of our series on James, Pastor Tim teaches from James 3 on where to find wisdom and what living in true wisdom looks like. When you walk in false wisdom you hurt yourself but when you walk in true wisdom you find life.

Pastor Daniel Floyd joined us this Sunday as we celebrated thirteen years as a church and celebrated over 20 baptisms! He encouraged us to keep a forward focus in our faith through Philippians 2:12-16.

In week five of our series on James, Pastor Gabe teaches James 3 the perfect conditions for us to set our lives on fire. Our lack of intentionality with our words not only reveal the condition of our hearts, but also invite spiritual darkness, heaviness and burdens upon our own lives.

In week four of our series on James, Pastor Gabe continues teaching from James 2 on what is considered to be one of the most controversial and misinterpreted passages in the Bible. It's because of this passage that Martin Luther called James an "epistle of straw." James gives us a very convicting challenge in terms of how true faith is demonstrated.

In week 3 of our series on James, Caleb teaches from James 2 on the dangers of selectively obeying parts of the Word of God.

In week two of our series on James, Pastor Gabe continues teaching from James 1 on the evidence of single-minded faith in our lives. It's easy to deceive ourselves into believing we're something that we're not, and there's a true test that God's Word gives us when it comes to the sincerity of our faith.

It's been said that faith not tested can't be trusted. In the opening message of our series on the epistle of James, Pastor Gabe teaches on the various trials, both external and internal, and how God uses them to form His character in us.

It's impossible to remain grounded if you're not first grounded in the mission of God. In week 4 of our series, You're Grounded, Pastor Gabe reminds us of the greatest motivating factor in life, and commissions our people into a new school year.

The pressures of life can be intense, and it's especially true among young adults facing the quarter-life crisis. In week 3 of our series, You're Grounded, Pastor Gabe teaches on five principles from God's Word for young adults (and everyone) to live by to avoid making fear-based life decisions.
