Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓Most people hear the word "holy" and picture a standard they could never reach, but Peter has something very different in mind. In this message from 1 Peter 1, we explore what it actually means to be called holy in a world that is pulling in every other direction, and why that call is less about perfection and more about belonging to a God who is unlike anything else in existence. We will unpack what the Bible calls sanctification, the ongoing process of being made more like Jesus, and what it looks like to live that out in real, practical terms: remembering the hope you have, knowing who you are in Christ, and letting that identity actually change the way you live. Whether you are just beginning to explore faith, feeling stuck in old patterns, or striving daily to grow, this message meets you where you are and points you toward the life God created you for. The fruit of the gospel is never just information. It is transformation.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓Most of us know what it feels like to place our hope in something that did not hold, a relationship, a plan, a season of life that looked promising and then came apart. In this message from 1 Peter 1, Peter writes to believers who are suffering and scattered, and his response is not a pep talk or a list of coping strategies. It is worship. Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, every follower of Jesus has been born into a hope that is not fragile, not dependent on circumstances, and not vulnerable to anything this world can throw at it. We will look at how real suffering and unshakeable hope can exist in the same life at the same time, why trials refine rather than disqualify our faith, and what it means to be part of a story so significant that prophets searched for it and angels lean in to catch a glimpse. If your hope has taken a hit lately, this message is an invitation to anchor it somewhere that will never give way.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us online.More Information ↓There is a tension at the heart of the Christian life that most of us feel but struggle to name: we are fully loved and chosen by God, and yet something about this world never quite feels like home. In this message from 1 Peter 1, we discover that this tension is not a problem to be solved but an identity to be embraced. Peter writes to scattered believers as "elect exiles," people chosen by God and placed in the world on purpose, not as a punishment but as a mission. We will explore what it means to hold both realities together without retreating from the world or blending into it, and why the church's greatest impact depends on living in that uncomfortable in-between space. If you have ever felt like a stranger in your own culture, this message will help you understand why, and what God intends to do with it.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us onlineMore Information ↓When Peter walked back into Jerusalem after baptizing a house full of Gentiles, he did not write a theological paper or start a debate. He told his story, and it changed everything. In this message from Acts 11, we explore how personal testimony is one of the most powerful and underused tools in the mission of the church. Your story does not need to be dramatic or polished to be effective. It just needs to be true. We will look at how Peter's retelling corrected assumptions, built unity, and expanded the vision of an entire community, and we will give you practical, natural ways to share your own gospel story without sounding religious or rehearsed. If you have ever thought your story is not interesting enough to matter, this message will change your mind.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe and Happy Mother's Day! We're so happy you could join us onlineMore Information ↓Peter was a devoted follower of Jesus with a blind spot he did not even know he had, and God loved him enough to confront it. In Acts 10, God gives Peter a strange vision and then sends him to the last kind of person Peter would have chosen: a Roman soldier, a Gentile, someone on the wrong side of every cultural and religious line Peter had ever known. This message unpacks how God orchestrated a divine appointment from both sides, pursuing Peter and Cornelius at the same time, because the gospel was never meant to stop at the edges of our comfort zones. We all carry assumptions about who is too different, too far, or too unlikely to belong, and this passage calls those assumptions out by name. If you have ever drawn a circle around your mission, this message will challenge you to erase it.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us onlineMore Information ↓Most of us have someone in our lives we have quietly given up on, someone whose heart seems too hard, whose choices seem too far gone, whose hostility toward God feels too settled to change. Acts 9 introduces us to that person: Saul of Tarsus, the most dangerous enemy the early church had ever faced. But this message is not just about Saul's dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. It is about Ananias, an ordinary believer asked by God to walk straight toward the person he feared most and trust that God could do what seemed impossible. If you have a name on your heart that you have almost stopped praying for, this message is a direct challenge to keep going. No one is too far from the reach of Jesus, and God may be calling you to be the Ananias in their story.Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us onlineMore Information ↓Philip was in the middle of a thriving revival when God pulled him away and sent him down a desert road to meet a single stranger. It did not make obvious sense, but that stranger, an Ethiopian official and outsider who had been searching for God and could not find his way in, was exactly who the Spirit had in mind all along. In this message from Acts 8, we look at what it means to follow the Spirit's redirection even when it pulls you away from what is working and toward something that feels unlikely, inconvenient, or small. God is always pursuing people who are quietly searching, and He often does it through ordinary believers who are willing to be interrupted. This message will challenge you to loosen your grip on your own plans and ask a simple but life-changing question: who is your Ethiopian eunuch?Who are we?

Welcome to Grace Pointe! We're so happy you could join us onlineMore Information ↓When persecution hit the early church in Jerusalem, it looked like a disaster. But what happened next changed the world: ordinary believers, scattered by suffering, carried the gospel into places it had never been, and Philip, a man chosen to wait on tables, found himself at the center of a revival in Samaria. In this message from Acts 8, we explore how God has a pattern of using disruption as deployment, turning what looks like loss into mission. The same Spirit who scattered the early church is still at work today, and the setback you are sitting in right now might not be the end of your story. It might be the beginning of your sending. If you are walking through an unexpected season and wondering what God could possibly be doing, this message was made for you.Who are we?
