Amanda Anderson walks us through Nehemiah 4 as we continue in our Nehemiah: Rebuild series. In chapter 4, we see how times were hard for the Israelites that were trying to rebuild the wall; just as times are difficult now! Their temple was destroyed and was not allowed to be rebuilt. In Ezekiel 10, it talks about how the glory of the Lord departed from the temple. After that, they were in exile fo...

In this week's sermon, Pastor Jermaine continues our Rebuild series. He tells us about what Nehemiah did before even having the opportunity to ask the king to go and rebuild the walls of Israel. Through prayer, getting God's heart, and mourning for his nation, God opened a door for Nehemiah to work on the wall that was grieving his heart. Pastor Jermaine also talked to us about honoring leadership...

In this week’s sermon, Leigh Ann continues our series on Nehemiah. This week, she speaks about Nehemiah’s prayer in Nehemiah 9:1-37. In this passage, Nehemiah and the Israelites are recounting God’s faithfulness from creation until the point of being out of the promise land. God was faithful to them regardless of the faithfulness of the people. God was always pursuing a loving relationship with th...

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Jermain ends our "Towards Unity" sermon series by talking about reconciliation. Through an analysis of 2nd Corinthians 5:11-19, we talk about how we are a new creation in Christ and that through the change that comes from the grace and love of God, we conduct ourselves in a new manner. A butterfly wouldn’t act like a caterpillar after its time in the cocoon. God, who...

In this week's sermon, Amanda Anderson comes before the body to give a bit of an update. Pastor Matthew will be taking a year long sabbatical. There is a video from Pastor Matthew in the sermon explaining more of why this decision came to fruition. Amanda also called the body to unity by looking at Ephesians 4:1-6.

"In this week’s sermon, Pastor Josh continues us in our sermon series "Towards Unity" through a conversation about forgiveness. Why is forgiveness so important? Without it, we cannot have unity in the body; it also affects our personal health and freedom, and it’s important to know that unforgiveness is a sin; our unwillingness to forgive comes at a heavy price. Through his personal testimony and...

"In this week’s sermon, to kick off our "Towards Unity" series, Pastor Matthew goes over the vision for the year when it comes to unity and the scriptures that go along with it. He also talks about our ashes from past hurts and pain that keep us from getting true healing and unity with each other and the Holy Spirit."

In our last sermon of the Whole series, Pastor Matthew talks about how taking care of our body fits into being people who are whole. We are the house for the Holy Spirit. What does our "house" look and feel like? We are God’s house, and we see evidence of this in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, 1 Corinthians 3:16–17, and Hebrews 3:6. In Genesis, God creates the earth for man and woman to live on, as well a...

20% of adults are struggling with mental health today. If you don’t struggle, then you probably know someone who does, but there is hope and healing! There are different ways to receive the healing that Jesus wants for those who struggle with mental health. We must renew our minds. There are both positive and negative thought patterns. Negative thought patterns can begin with something that happen...

In this week’s service, Pastor Luke kicked us off on a new series called Whole. The heart behind the series is to learn and discuss a biblical response to health and wholeness. Jesus is at the center of it! How do we walk with a clear conscience or be people who are spiritually whole? Our conscience is like a moral compass, and we find the origins in scripture, all the way back in Genesis 2:17 wit...

In the last part of our All You Can series, Pastor Alex talks about giving all we can. Giving can be seen as one of God’s greatest gifts to his people. God enables us to live lives marked by generosity, hospitality, and the preference of others by choosing to give away our wealth, time, and attention. Throughout the centuries, the Church has been marked by its generosity and hospitality. They are...

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Matthew continues our series of All You Can and talks about saving! We don’t save because times are rough, or we’re headed to the end of times, or even because resources will be scarce in the future. Instead of being in self-preservation mode, we should look for wisdom. We discussed several Proverbs that talk about money (Proverbs 6:6-8, 10:4-5, 12:11, and 13:11). Pro...

In this week’s kickoff sermon for our series, All You Can, Pastor Luke talks about earning all you can. This series is inspired by John Wesley. The reason why we talk about money is that the Bible talks about it often. We want to be good stewards and handle the money well that God has given us. We often say that we need more money in order to give as much money as possible to God’s purposes. We do...

This week, we celebrated our 15 Year Anniversary and Pastor Matthew shared his heart about the history of the church, the people who have invested into Waypoint over the years, and what God has been doing locally and within the nations.

This morning, Pastor Matthew finished up our ‘Witness’ sermon series. When we lay our lives down for God we give Him permission to lay His life down through us. We all need to be ready to give answers to why we live the way we live. There is no other name under heaven or earth by which we can be saved apart from Jesus. His is the only name that saves. God made the church for His mission. He has al...

This week, Pastor Alex continued on with our Witness sermon series with a message about the how and why of Discipleship. We have a mandate to be a witness to our city, nation, and the ends of the earth. 1. Discipleship is Jesus’ model. We see in the Gospels that Jesus invited people in to follow Him. He taught them, modeled the Kingdom of God for them, sent them out to do the work, and then gave t...

This morning, Pastor Luke preached the second message in our ‘Witness’ sermon series titled Revival on Hamilton Street. The start and foundation of revival is two things; understanding the need, and beginning to pray. Prayer is both the fire and fuel of evangelism and revival. It is what fuels and precedes any great move of God. 1. Prayer aligns us with God’s heart Jesus was a walking revival; whe...

This week, Pastor Alex introduced our new ‘Witness’ sermon series. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He said that we would be His witnesses all over the earth, and thus we must be people who share the Good News with others. Pastor Alex made two primary points: 1. A passion for Jesus means that you are compelled to be His witness. All of us came to faith through somebody being a witness to us, and...

This week, Pastor Alex finished up our Galatians series with a message out of Chapter 6: 1-10. Within this Chapter, Paul lays out a series of exhortations to the churches in Galatians, which Pastor Alex broke into three primary points: 1: Growing (verses 1-5) If we are living by the Spirit, we need to be restoring people through gentleness. We do this as part of making disciples, which includes gi...

This morning, Pastor Luke continued on with our Galatians series with a sermon out of Chapter 5: 16-26. His message was broken down into three parts: 1. There is an inward battle going on within us, but not with equal forces. When we come to Christ, we enter into a battle between our flesh and our Spirit. The battle itself is evidence of the Spirit of God within us. But this is not an equal fight,...

This week, Pastor Matthew continued on with our Galatians sermon series with a message out of Chapter 5: 1-12. One of the most important things that we can do in this life is live by God’s values and truth, and not simply by our feelings. Anything aside from freedom in Jesus bounds us to a yoke of slavery. We have new life in Christ, which means that we must leave our old lives and its many loves...
