Sermons

People typically want to be trusting, which often makes us gullible and quick to both believe and spread false information that comes from other people. So in this series, starting on Sunday, July 10, we’re going to look at several things that many smart Christians believe to be true, but they aren’t. This series is going to show us, yet again, how important it is for us to dig into the Scripture ourselves to discover the truth we find there.

There are hundreds of thousands of phone apps available for download. These apps can be used to wake you up, to show you where to shop, to help you count calories, or to log your exercise minutes. But they can’t actually make you get up, control your spending, manage your diet, or force you to exercise.

The App Store isn’t the only place you can find apps. Did you know that the Bible has also given us many “apps” to enhance and improve our lives?

The fact is, application makes all the difference. “Unapplied truth is like unapplied paint. It doesn’t do anybody any good. The value is in the application.” Merely reading the Bible or coming to church and hearing a sermon is one thing. But real life-change happens in the “doing” because, application makes all the difference.

Getting To Know God is a great series for anyone who has questions about God, or for those who simply want to get to know God better. This series isn’t about getting to know more ABOUT God. The focus is getting to know God personally, know Him better, and know Him more relationally.

Go Big is a series that brings our focus on the church. No, not LifePoint Church……THE Church. Two thousand years ago, a gathering of people in a middle-eastern city began a movement that would circle the globe and leave its mark on individuals and cultures on every continent. This movement would eventually become known as The Church. The church is a movement. And it’s still moving.

It’s hard for us to hear the story of Christmas without thinking of all the children’s pageants we’ve seen – little five and six year-olds on stage in makeshift robes and fake beards, the angels dressed in sheets and wearing tinfoil wings, sometimes missing their entrances and stumbling over the lines and occasionally knocking over a prop. It’s a precious scene that brings back the best of memories. But the original event wasn’t quite that charming and it was far more than a children’s Christmas program.

There were no cute costumes and no missed entrances. When the angels spoke their lines, the response wasn’t, “Ahhh, isn’t that sweet? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were true?” Instead the response was, “Oh my goodness. This changes everything. This turns everything upside down.”
