This sermon, part two of the “Dollars & Sense” series, teaches that God cares deeply about how we handle money and that the basics—budgeting, getting out of debt, living on less than you make, saving, and giving—still work when practiced faithfully. Drawing from Scripture and practical principles (including Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace approach), it emphasizes that money is a tool, not a master, and that wise planning leads to peace and freedom. The message challenges listeners to trust God with their finances, commit to biblical habits, and experience joy and generosity as a result.

This sermon celebrates God’s faithfulness in 2025 by highlighting powerful stories of life change, growth, generosity, and mission at LifePoint Church, while expressing excitement and vision for what’s ahead in 2026. It emphasizes that every number represents God moving in people’s lives and calls the church to deeper discipleship, especially through biblical generosity and tithing. Ultimately, it challenges the congregation to respond with grateful, wholehearted obedience, trusting God with their hearts, resources, and future.

The sermon celebrates God’s faithfulness in 2025 and casts a clear vision for 2026, emphasizing that without God-given vision, people lose focus and fail to advance. It calls the church to write down and live out a simple, biblical vision centered on three priorities: embracing new beginnings, growing in deep discipleship, and living with God’s purpose. Ultimately, the purpose is to know God more fully and to make Him known by intentionally reaching “one more” person with the love of Jesus.

In Week 3 of the New Beginnings series, we asked the central question of Genesis 22: Will you lay it down? Through Abraham’s test and Jesus’ challenge to the rich young ruler, we saw that God often reveals our devotion by confronting what we love most, not to take it from us, but to ensure He remains first. The invitation is simple but costly: if anything stands in the way of fully following Jesus, will we trust Him enough to lay it down?

This sermon continues the New Beginnings series by calling the church to be open to what God wants to do for us and from us, emphasizing that God is always creating new life, purpose, and identity. Centered on the power of names, it teaches that God gives His people new names and identities—like forgiven, chosen, and beloved—while urging believers to reject false labels from the world or the enemy and embrace who God says they are. The message concludes with a strong call for 2026 to be a year of deeper discipleship, challenging everyone to live fully as devoted, obedient followers who reflect, imitate, and invite others to Jesus.

This sermon invites the church to begin the year with 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer, emphasizing that fasting is meant to deepen prayer, Bible reading, and focus on God as we seek new beginnings. It teaches that although God never changes, He is always doing something new, calling believers to trust Him for fresh faith, transformation, and miracles in their lives. Finally, it challenges each person to consecrate themselves to God by giving Him greater commitment through spiritual disciplines, church involvement, and obedience, believing He will do wonders in 2026.

This sermon teaches that just as we guard our valuables, we must intentionally guard our hearts because everything in our lives flows from them. Using Joseph’s story, it shows that a guarded heart allows God to use, form, and ultimately heal us—even through betrayal, hardship, and unfair seasons. The message calls believers to enter the new year with vigilance, forgiveness, and spiritual discipline, trusting that God can turn what was meant for harm into good.

This Christmas sermon celebrates the truth that God entered a chaotic and broken world through Jesus, offering Himself as the greatest gift to people who were once separated from Him. It proclaims that Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us—who came not only to save us from sin but to walk with us, restore relationship, and lovingly rule our lives. The message calls each person to receive God’s gift of salvation and respond by giving their whole life back to Him in worship and obedience.

This sermon celebrates the third week of Advent by focusing on the theme of joy, teaching that true joy is not based on circumstances but on God’s presence with us through Jesus Christ. It explains that Jesus’ birth brings “good news of great joy for all people” because He is our Savior, Messiah, and Lord, offering salvation, restored relationship with God, and a life surrendered to His loving rule.
