Elisha
What would life look like if you were to completely turn everything over to God. Can you imagine? Maybe that seems scary to trust Him with your entire life, but the benefits of doing so would be world-altering. Elisha’s story is a story of incredible faith and incredible faithfulness, and it challenges us to answer God’s calling and take the risks that are necessary to do His will. Elisha’s life and his faith demonstrate for us how we, too, can experience the presence of God in our lives as we follow God’s plan and walk in faith. Join the journey of exploring Elisha’s life and learn to apply the principles of incredible faith.
Reconnecting With God
Perhaps there was a time in your life when you were close to God; you felt a real connection and your relationship was strong and healthy. But then something happened…….
Perhaps you suffered a tragedy and God didn’t respond in the way you wanted Him to, so you gave up. Perhaps you “got burned” by a pastor or priest or Rabbi or a church, so you threw up your hands and walked away. Maybe you simply became complacent and let your relationship with God slide. It could even be that you went off to college and became “enlightened” by the professors who told you there is no God who loves you.
But now……….now you know there’s something missing. There’s an emptiness and you’re sensing that it’s time to reconnect with God.
Regardless of why you and God became “disconnected”, God is taking a step in your direction and we invite you to take a step (or two) toward Him.
Reconnecting with God is a series that will offer help and insight in reconnecting and restoring the relationship with Him that you once knew.
To Know Christ, and Make Him Known
To launch 2017, we wanted to give some context to the focus of LifePoint for the year – To Know Christ and to Make Him known. So Pastor Cory and Pastor Chuck “tag teamed” a message combining those two elements.
A Surprise Christmas
Don’t we all have a relative or two we try to avoid at family gatherings? Shake any family tree and all kinds of people will fall out. In fact, Jesus had a few shady characters in his family as well. Actually, he had some relatives that make your most wayward cousin look like a saint.
As we approach Christmas, we’ll take a look at some of those “shady characters” in Jesus’ lineage, and in the process discover that there’s a very good reason they’re listed. You might be……surprised…….
Transformed
God wants you to be a nonconformist. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed…..” You’ll either be conformed or you’ll be transformed. God created you to be unique; to be like nobody else. You have a unique voiceprint, thumbprint, handprint and heartbeat. God doesn’t make clones and He wants you to be unique and not conformed to anybody else’s idea of what you should be. But God, if we will allow Him, will do an incredible work of transformation in our lives.
