Sermons - Grace Point

How should Christians handle Halloween? This is a question often asked by believers at this time of year. Listen in as Pastor Kyle describes the origins of Halloween and looks at how Christians throughout history dealt with it as well. In addition, is there a way we can use this event to reach others for Christ?

Does God’s promise (covenant) with Abram still apply today? Many people, even Christians, do not believe so. If the covenant no longer applies (in that the Church has replaced the Jews – Abram’s descendants), what does that say about God’s keeping of the covenant? If the covenant still applies today, what part do the Jews play in it and how does it relate to the role of the church?

Today we are getting an update from Dennis & Stasi Cochardo on their ministry at Kingdom Air Corps in Alaska. Listen in as they explain what they are doing there and how the Matthew 16 passage impacts their lives.

In today’s discussion on Abram’s journey of faith, we see that God makes a covenant with Abram. Whereas covenants at that time required both parties to agree to something (thereby binding both to the terms of the covenant), God does something different. He unilaterally makes the covenant and takes it upon Himself to pay the price if Abram doesn’t fulfill his part. At first this may sound confusing, but listen in as Pastor Kyle explains how this all plays out and what it means for us today.

As Americans, we cherish our independence. Unfortunately, this tends to also apply to our attitude towards God. Today, Pastor Kyle highlights the test of Dependence that God puts Abram through. This is part of how God is developing Abram’s faith in Him. What can we learn from this? Listen to find out.

We make decisions to do things all the time. Some of them conscious and some unconscious. Some of them have good results and some of them yield “not-so-good” results. Making good decisions is a learned process and often hinges on our priorities at that time. Today, Pastor Kyle explores some decisions Abram and his nephew, Lot, have made and the results thereof. One key thought from this is: “Will the decision I’m about to make enhance my relationship with God?” This is a question that Christians should consider in their decision making. Do you?

Join Pastor Kyle as he continues his series on the Long Walk Of Faith and the tests Abram goes through, along with how he responds. We also get a glimpse as to how God works in Abram’s life during these tests.

A church’s vision is often based upon what it values. What do we value as a church? What do we long for? Or what do we want to be like? Hear what Pastor Kyle has to say about the “what” and “why” Grace Point Church’s vision.

Sometimes our lives are interrupted by “Divine Detours” – times when God changes our plans, or even our life goals. Listen in as Pastor Kyle delves into how God redirected Abram and what we can learn and apply to our lives today.

God created us as relational beings … some moreso than others. This means that we should be trying to interact with other believers (not just a few close friends) on an on-going basis. Spiritual growth requires community. Listen as Pastor Kyle explains how and why this should be done.
