If each one of us is a candle before the LORD, what happens when our light goes out? Do we notice? Does it affect others around us? Do they notice? As a follower of Christ, each one of us is meant to be a light to the world. The oil of the Holy Spirit shapes […]

What are the golden calves that are in your life? What are the items that you turn to instead of God? What is it that you put your faith in? What is it that when the delay is happening, instead of waiting patiently, that you find yourself praising something else you have no business praising? […]

When everything gets dark and the desert wind blows, stand on this mountain! Be unshakable in your faith! Don’t listen to the lies that are being told to you. Instead, lean into God and don’t run from Him… 18 You have not come to a physical mountain,[a] to a place of flaming fire, darkness, gloom, and […]

The Israelites battled evil in many forms. Whether we admit it or not, we battle evil today in many forms as well. In order to do so successfully, we need to choose our stance with care. When we deliberately position ourselves in faith, we can discern good from evil, right from wrong, truth from lies. […]

The Israelites might have experienced the most epic rescue story ever, but they couldn’t seem to help themselves from complaining along the way. They were given so much…you and I have been given so much! We’ve been forgiven our sins through God’s gift of grace…we are promised a future in eternity! Whatever else happens to […]

As the night wore on and they heard the cries of mourning from their Egyptian neighbors, it must have been deeply unsettling, even terrifying. They trusted their Lord, but what […]

Where do we turn when it seems like we can’t go on in the midst of suffering? How do we trust that God will come through when we’re literally grasping for the straw we need to survive? What does it take to shake us out of our discouragement and remember…remember that the Lord is for […]

Man thinks that he’s all powerful. We think that we control destiny, that we can control others. We cling to whatever influence or blessing we think we own or deserve. But God stands above as the true author and owner of any power we think we possess. What is it that you and I hold […]

The post Laying It Down appeared first on Rockpointe Community Church.

Do we notice the burning bushes in our lives? Are we sensitive to God’s presence? Do we allow our curiosity about what we notice to draw us closer to the Lord? When we do these things, we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and the hearing of God’s voice in our lives. What happens […]
