March 30, 2025 In what may be the most stunning passage ever written, Philippians 2:5-11 reveals the shocking greatness of humility. The way up is down. The King of the universe made humility His very way of life. Leaving heaven wasn’t enough. Being born in a stable wasn’t enough. Even dying wasn’t enough—it was death on a cross, the lowest form of humiliation. Yet, that was not the end. Because o...

March 23, 2025 - Because of what we have in Christ, we are urged to live in two important ways - unity and humility. We explore what that should look like in this sermon.

March 16, 2025 These verses call us to a life that is lived in a manner worthy of the Gospel. What does that look like and how can you ever live up to something as amazing as the Gospel?

March 9, 2025 What does it look like for Jesus to be your confidence, your passion, and your purpose? These verses sum up for us what it looks like to have a life that is completely and utterly all about Jesus, where He is your confidence, He is your passion, and He is your purpose.

March 2, 2025 If someone was in prison the last thing you would think they would say is that you can have joy in suffering. But that is exactly the claim that the Apostle Paul makes in these verses.

February 23, 2025 Paul opens his letter to the Philippians with a powerful but succinct prayer that is both specific and full of substance. We track this this prayer trying to better understand it and emulate it.

February 2, 2025 In the opening of his letter to the Philippian Church, Paul extends a greeting that transcends mere formality. He articulates two pivotal words that have profoundly shaped his own life, and which also hold the potential to transform the lives of every person.

January 26, 2025 - Today we celebrated 5 Points Church first birthday! As we reflected on our first year, we looked at the story of how the Philippian church began in Acts 16.

January 19, 2025 - This week we answer the question: "How to make disciples right here and right now?" We take inspiration from Luke 19 when Jesus pursues Zacchaeus, prioritizes Zacchaeus, then eats with Zacchaeus, and ultimately transforms the life of Zacchaeus.

January 12, 2025 - This week we answer the question: "What does a disciple do?" The answer is found in Matthew 28: "a disciple makes disciples." As we dig in deeper to the passage we will also learn "the why," "the where" and "the how" of discipling-making.

In this week's message we define disciple based on Mark 1. If Jesus has called his disciples to make disciples, it's critical that we know what we are making. Sunday, January 5, 2025

December 22, 2024 - Today we looked at how the message of Great Joy came to the shepherds announcing the birth of a Savior.

As we wrap up the book of Exodus we see what happens after the Israelites turn their back on God with the golden calf. Even with that infidelity, remarkably God does not give up on HIs people. He makes a new covenant with them, all because of His name.

In this section of Exodus, we learn about the priestly garments and the process of their consecration for sacred service. While the priests served as significant mediators between God and the people, these practices ultimately point to a greater spiritual reality.

November 24, 2024 - As we continue our series through Exodus titled "The God who Saves" in these chapters we learn of God's motivation for saving His people. We know that God saves, but why does He save? These chapters give us the answer.

November 17, 2024 When God saves His people out of slavery He does so with a purpose - He sets them apart to enter into a covenant with Him. He relationally ties Himself to his people through this covenant that sets out the way for them to live in freedom.

November 10, 2024 - Exodus 19:1-6 Before God ever asks anything of His people, He tells them who they are. In today's talk, you will hear more about how our identity informs our mission.

The Israelite journey out of Egypt is full of threats, more threats, blessing, and even more threats. Their journey is just like our journey. Where they had both internal and external threats, we have both internal and external threats. Where they experience blessing, we also can experience blessing. How God leads and saves them is how God leads and saves us.

Even though the people grumbled and even in the wilderness God proved that He would provide for His people.

The Israelites find themselves between the Red Sea and Pharoah's army with nowhere to go. It's an impossible situation. Yet what we find is that our impossibility is God's opportunity.

October 13, 2024 // Exodus 11 & 12 The Passover brings both God's judgment and His salvation.

October 6, 2024 // Exodus 7-10 The 9 signs and wonders that God gives in Exodus are more than plagues to secure the freedom of His people. They are statements that show us what kind of God Yahweh is and how there is no one like Him.

September 29, 2024 - God is revealing Himself to Moses and the people to show them who He truly is. At the same time we are given a picture of the enemy, Satan, personified in Pharaoh.

September 22, 2024 // Exodus 4 & 5 Moses confronts Pharaoh and in return the Israelites have harder work forced on them. Moses has lots of questions for God but in it all you can see a God who is present and personal but also mysterious.

September 15, 2024 - Moses has all the excuses on why he can't do what God is asking him to do. See how we can draw lessons from his life as we walk out our own God-given assignments.
