This effects everything – especially the health of our relationships. Aaron Brockett • Rebel...

How do we handle conflict in a healthy way? In this message, Teaching Pastor Ryan Bramlett explains that a person’s character is revealed during conflict. Without the right character, we’ll never have the joy that is promised in the book of Philippians. God is way more focused on who we’re becoming than who’s winning a conflict. Aaron Brockett • Rebel's Guide To Joy • Philippians 2:19-3:11; 4:2-5...

The book of Philippians says to do everything without complaining and arguing. We should be so joyful that it just spills out of us for no apparent reason.

Many of us are here today believing that the biggest problem we have is our circumstances. We think if only our circumstances would be better, then we would be better. But what if our biggest problems aren’t from our circumstances? What if our biggest problems come from how we’ve chosen to define what it means to truly live? In this message, Teaching Pastor Ryan Bramlett teaches us that when we li...

According to the American Psychological Association, roughly 75% of us get stressed about finances on a regular basis, regardless of how much you make. In this message, Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett teaches on stewardship and generosity and how to effectively lead our money, instead of it leading us.

If you wrote a letter to your future self, you might heed a warning of letting go of grudges – or forgiveness. No matter how badly you’ve been hurt, the power of God is strong than that grievance against you. In this message by Teaching Pastor Ryan Bramlett, we learn that if God can forgive us, we can forgive others. Ryan Bramlett • Letters To My Future Self • Matthew 18:21-35 CONNECT WITH US! Eng...

What would a letter from your future self tell you? It might say not to overthink things – not to take yourself too seriously, or let criticism affect you, or worry too much. In this message, Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett teaches what we can do with our out-of-control thoughts by learning from Elijah’s story in the Old Testament – a story that’s real and relatable to our anxieties today.

God did amazing things in and through Traders Point in 2022! The end of a year is the perfect time to pause and reflect on the year we’ve just finished, as well as look ahead at what’s coming in 2023. Pastors Aaron Brockett and Ryan Bramlett sit down to talk about their favorite big moments and even share some behind-the-scenes highlights from the year. 

NOS·TAL·GIA | NOUN | A LONGING FOR OR THINKING FONDLY OF A PAST TIME.  It’s hard to put your finger on what exactly nostalgia is. It’s more than just a memory. Or a singular moment. It’s a feeling…an experience that takes you from where you are to where you want to be. And for many of us, the Christmas season is one that’s full of nostalgia. Nostalgia brings out the sentiment, longing, warmth...

As a church, our mission is to help people know God, find life-giving relationships, and make a difference. None of this can happen without the fuel of prayer and the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit means letting Him form us into His image and give us life to the full. Prayer is where that filling happens. As you watch this message, let it remind you to be regularly filled up in God...

One of the reasons why it’s fulfilling and feels good to be generous and serve others is because God made us that way. We were created on purpose for a purpose. Our spiritual growth is tied to our willingness to serve others. God’s Word tells us that when we do it out of gratitude for what Jesus has done for us, the result is joy. Check out this message to learn how you can live out your calling b...

At Traders Point, we’re all about fostering life-giving relationships with one another. One of the ways we do this at Traders Point is through small groups. The people in Acts 2 of the Bible gathered consistently and were in relationship, even when it wasn’t convenient. These relationships gave them life! Being a part of a small group surrounds you with community, accountability, and new ways to g...

Every now and then, it’s important to stop and take a look at what we do and why we do it so we don’t drift off course. It’s not enough to say we’ve always done things a certain way. This is a message about reevaluating and assessing as a church what God has called us to, and what He’s calling us to next. One thing’s for sure: Helping people know God is the primary motivator in everything our chur...

Chapter 5 in 1 Peter has a lot to say about leadership – specifically Christian leadership. Practically speaking, the leadership principles from this chapter can apply to us today, not matter what type of leadership seat we hold or influence we have. But to fully live them out? That’s only possible through the Holy Spirit. Check out this message to see what the Bible says about leading others the...

In this week’s passage, the author of 1 Peter in the Bible lays out eight defining characteristics of exiles God uses to make a difference in this world. These are the qualities that should set us apart as Christians. Watch this message to learn how we can stand out and make a difference in this hurting world.

For Christ-followers, this world is sometimes an uncomfortable experience. It’s no wonder the teaching in 1 Peter on submission goes against the grain of how we’ve been conditioned to think and behave by our current culture. When it’s difficult to submit, we need to remember that we are really submitting to God. In this message, we hear that submission is an important part of the Christian life an...

In his second letter, Peter reminds Christians scattered across Asia Minor of their identity as followers of Jesus. We, too, can be reminded of our identity. We are the church. Born again, chosen, royal priests, a holy nation, and God’s very own possession. Our purpose as believers cannot be realized apart from community. Being in a relationship with Jesus means being in a relationship with others...

The author of 1 Peter wrote a letter to a group of scattered Christ-followers who were located all over Asia Minor – a letter with a message that applies to us today. He let them know the disorienting feeling they had as Christians was real and justified. They had become foreigners in this world, primarily because of their association and devotion to Jesus. As a result, their entire lives were unc...

In Daniel 9, Daniel is now an old man reflecting back on his nearly seven decades of exile in Babylon. God allowed Jerusalem to go into exile because of their continual disobedience and hardened hearts toward Him. But Daniel knew God hadn’t abandoned them; He was working on restoring them in a way that would eclipse everything they were going through. Because of this, Daniel stayed faithful to God...

Daniel 8 gives us another foreshadow of what the end times will be like. Though we aren’t certain of when they will come, we're given prophecies about the Good News of Jesus that are already and not yet fulfilled. Jesus has given us the confident hope of new life and defeat over sin and death. Until we get to experience the fullness of these prophecies, we're called to usher in His Kingdom in the...
