Most of us already know the Easter story — but knowing it and believing it are two very different things. This Easter, Pastor Joel Hastings asks the question that cuts straight to the heart: what does the resurrection of Jesus actually mean for *your* life?

Walking through the story of Lazarus in John 11, Pastor Joel unpacks why Jesus waited, why He wept, and what it means that He didn't just provide a resurrection — He *is* the resurrection. This message lands with a powerful invitation: whatever grave you're living in, Jesus is calling you out.

Here's a couple key takeaways

- Knowing the right answers isn't the same as truly believing — real faith moves from your head to your heart.

- Jesus is not just a provider of what you need; He *is* everything you need — your peace, your provision, your resurrection.

- Whatever grave you're in right now, the resurrection of Jesus means you don't have to stay there.

#Sermon #GracePointChurch #NorthwestArkansas

We all know something is broken — and the self-help industry, social media highlight reels, and hustle culture are all trying to fix it. But what if the problem runs deeper than any of those solutions can reach? This Palm Sunday, Brett Ferguson opens Luke 19 and asks a question that cuts right to the heart: who — or what — are you trusting to redeem you?

Walking through Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Brett unpacks three reasons only King Jesus can redeem: he has unique authority over all things, he is the long-promised Son of David, and he is moved by deep compassion for broken people. The sermon lands with a challenge that leaves no comfortable middle ground — crown him or kill him, but don't just like him.

Here's a couple key takeaways

- Jesus has authority over every area of your life — not just your circumstances, but your heart, your habits, and your affections.

- Jesus is not a self-help guru or life coach — he came to be King, and he's asking for full surrender, not casual admiration.

- Whatever shame or brokenness you carry, there is no path in your life that King Jesus cannot redeem.

What's filling your life — and what spills out when things get hard? Pastor Joel Hastings closes out the book of Titus with a question most of us avoid: how do we stay focused on God's mission when toxic people, foolish arguments, and spiritual junk food keep pulling us off course?

Drawing from Titus 3:9–15, Pastor Joel walks through the difference between controversies worth fighting for and ones that simply drain us, how to handle divisive people with grace and firmness, and why the gospel is the only thing that can turn what's toxic into something clean. The sermon lands with a simple but searching question: when life squeezes you, what pours out?

Here's a couple key takeaways

• Not every argument deserves your energy — learn to identify what's truly worth standing firm on and let go of the rest.

• When someone is sowing division, the most loving response is a patient warning — and then a firm boundary.

• The life formed by grace overflows grace. What's filling you determines what spills out onto the people around you.

You didn't earn it. You didn't deserve it. But God looked at you in your brokenness and said yes anyway — not because of anything you did, but because of his own mercy. Pastor Andrew Brown walks through one of the most stunning passages in the New Testament and gets personal about what it means to receive grace you never could have earned.

In Titus 3:1–8, Paul lays out three movements: who we were before Jesus, what God has done, and how that changes everything about how we live now. The mercy that saved you wasn't meant to stop with you — what happened in us was always meant to happen through us.

Here's a couple key takeaways:

• God's mercy is the complete initiator of our salvation — we don't put ourselves in; we receive the bid he gives.

• Salvation brings regeneration (a new birth) and ongoing renewal — the Holy Spirit is actively remaking you, not just patching you up.

• Good works aren't how you earn grace — they're how grace moves through you into the world around you.

Grace is the greatest gift you've ever received — but receiving it was never meant to leave you the same. In Titus 2, Pastor Joel Hastings unpacks what it really means to live as someone who has been forgiven, freed, and transformed by the grace of God.

Pastor Joel walks through Paul's instructions to bondservants, workers, and everyday people — showing how the gospel is meant to be visible in the way we live and work. Drawing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's contrast between "cheap grace" and "costly grace," he challenges us to stop treating grace as a free pass and start living as people who are zealous for good works, anchored in the blessed hope of Christ's return.

Here's a couple key takeaways

• Grace is a free gift — but it isn't cheap. It cost Jesus everything, and receiving it should change how you live, work, and treat the people around you.

• You can't clean yourself up. Just like a child smearing makeup off his face, our best efforts to fix ourselves only make things worse — we need Jesus to make us clean.

• We have a blessed hope. In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, Christians live with confident expectation that Jesus is coming back to make all things right.
