Grace Point Sermons

We can only give to others like God gives to us once we understand that we're stewards of all God's gifts (instead of owners). This requires us to be ready & willing to give freely & joyfully as worship & love.

We can only build a culture of joyful generosity on the foundation of gospel-shaped integrity, which stewards God's grace instead of squandering it.

When religion says we're "supposed to," the gospel says we "get to" obey God, understanding that all of His commands are invitations to experience more of the joy of Jesus. As we do, our lives reflect His love and show a watching world that Jesus is enough.

Worldly grief can only lead to death. But godly grief produces repentance that leads to life. To get there, though, we've got to be willing to engage in necessary conflict and Biblical repentance (no matter how hard they may be).

What do you do when you drift away from joy in Jesus? The answer isn't to work harder. Instead, the gospel calls us to examine ourselves in humility and embrace God's promises in hope.

Grace that doesn't change everything about us isn't really grace at all. But once this grace takes hold of our hearts, the radical gospel guarantees that we'll: (1) Be hated by the world; (2) Be helped by God; & (3) Become more like Jesus.

The fear of man is a poison and the only antidote is the fear of the Lord. But what does it really mean to fear God? Once we understand this, we start to realize that there can be no such thing as private faith.

Suffering will never have the last word in the lives of those who are walking by faith (and not by sight). This confidence comes from the Spirit, who prepares us for eternity by giving us: undying hope, unseen courage & unearned righteousness.

We are far too easily shaken when life doesn't go according to our plan. In those moments, we need to remember and rest in the gospel truth that:

● Faith that suffering cannot silence;

● Produces hope that death cannot kill;

● Through grace which leads to glory that we cannot comprehend.

Suffering and sin always reveal the weakness of our flesh. Thankfully, God's power isn't limited by our weakness. This means that even when it doesn't feel like it, He's always working for us, in us & through us by His grace.
