How does a comeback actually happen? It doesn't happen over night, and the unfortunate reality is that something bad has to happen first for it even be necessary. The good news is that the Bible doesn't hold real life examples of this from us, and one of the best comes in the form of Peter.In Week 4 of "Comeback Stories," Pastor Brandon Petty from Generation Church leads us through a study of Peter's journey from declaring Jesus the Messiah, to denying him three times, to ultimately leading the spread of the Gospel.

Do you want to leave a legacy? For most of us, the answer to that is an easy "yes," but it gets complicated when we start figuring out what that legacy is and how to achieve it. Thankfully, the Bible leaves us a clear blueprint of how to navigate this through the life of a prophet you may have never heard of (before this series).

In Week 3 of our study of the rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem, we examine how Nehemiah navigates opposition, doubt, and even the reality of his work being ultimately undone. Along the way, we find 7 key truths that every person that wants to build a legacy must cling onto.

Tell us if this has happened to you before: You decide that God is pushing you in a direction, you finally decide to step boldy into it, and things immediately go wrong. Does this mean it wasn't actually what God wanted? Well, maybe it means the enemy doesn't want what God wants.

In Week 2 of our study of Nehemiah in "Comeback Stories," we take a deep dive into one of the signature pages of the devil's playbook: resistance. When you are headed towards what God wants for you, the enemy will do anything to stop you at step one. The good news is that God has already won that battle time after time, and Nehemiah's case is no different.

Do you feel like you've missed your calling? Are you struggling to find purpose in your day-to-day life? The number one thing that may be blocking you from what God has waiting for you is being too comfortable where you are. But don't worry, the Bible gives us a roadmap on how to embrace the uncomfortable and make an impact.This week, we're kicking off a new series called "Comeback Stories," where we learn from the journey Nehemiah goes on to abandon his position of comfort to pursue the purpose God has put before him.

A church without conflict doesn't exist. It's a place filled with people from different backgrounds, political affiliations, and even different specific beliefs. But God created the church knowing these differences would exist, and the Bible gives us a blueprint on how to overcome them to become more unified.

In the final week of "Playing Church," we dive into the teachings of Paul and Jesus himself on the importance of settling conflicts in the church the right way - and staying unified in Christ through it all.

When someone asks how you're doing, how often is the answer "busy"? Today's church is full of people who are too busy to be effective, and that's exactly how the devil wants it! God didn't design our lives to be defined by how busy we are, and if you're tired of being tired, this message is for you.

In Week 3 of "Playing Church," we look at three warning signs of the modern busyness plague and how to recalibrate a life centered on what matters.

From the very beginning of the church, we've been warned about wolves in sheep's clothing. If you've been hurt in a church, you've probably encountered one. But how we can recognize and root this behavior out before the betrayals happen? In week 2 of "Playing Church," Pastor Jason dives into 4 ways that we can identify these wolves and the importance of protecting our church community from them.

Church is messy. Why? Because it's run by people, of course! Despite over 2,000 years of practice, Christians are still trying to figure out how to do church without frustration, fatigue, and hurt. If you've experienced any of these (or more) in a church, you're not alone. In this new series, we'll dive into what the Bible says about fixing the spots where the church at large has gone wrong. This week, we key in on the importance of running the race of life together.

Are we living in the end times? Is there such thing as a gay Christian? Was the world actually made in a week? Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? That last one came from Kid City, but you all brought some heat for the final week of Elephant in the Room where Pastor Jason answers all of your Bible and Church questions. This is a compilation of over 30 more Biblical answers to questions that too often go overlooked, or simply unspokemon, in the church.

Is the modern Israel the same as Biblical Israel? What is the Book of Enoch? What do we actually know about heaven and hell? Are we living in the end times? These are just a few examples of countless common questions that Christians have that very rarely get answered in a church setting.

There have been so many questions this year that this is a combination of all three of our services from this past Sunday. If you have any questions you want to submit for Week 2, we still have room, so head over to centerpointtn.com and send them in!
