Starpoint Church

This sermon takes an honest look at dishonesty—how even the “little lies” we tell can break trust, hurt relationships, and pull us away from who God calls us to be. Using the story of Ananias and Sapphira, we are reminded that lying is never harmless and that truth is what connects us to Jesus, the One who is truth itself. It’s a straightforward, eye-opening message about why honesty matters in real life, not just in theory.

Pastor Roscoe also shares a real and vulnerable story about facing a financial crisis in a church building project, showing how tough it can be to stay truthful when the pressure is on. The message encourages listeners to drop the act, be authentic, and let God work with who they really are—not the version they pretend to be. In the end, it’s a strong call to integrity: to be people whose words mean something and whose lives reflect the freedom and protection that come from choosing truth over deception.

This sermon tackles something we all face at one point or another: the feeling that life just isn’t fair. Using the story of the Prodigal Son, the message shows how bitterness can creep in when we compare ourselves to others and wonder why God seems to bless them more than us. Pastor Roscoe helps us see how bitterness can steal our joy, strain our relationships, and keep us from noticing the blessings already in our hands.

But this isn’t just a talk about what’s wrong—it’s a message of hope. You’ll hear why God’s grace matters far more than getting what we think we “deserve,” and how letting go of bitterness can open the door to freedom and joy. With simple, practical steps like focusing on the cross, trusting that God sees your faithfulness, and choosing daily gratitude, this sermon gives you tools to break free from resentment and step into a life filled with peace, gratitude, and deeper connection with God.

In this eye-opening message from the Red Flags series, pastor Roscoe tackles a struggle that hits closer to home than most of us like to admit—arrogance. Using the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18, he shows how pride doesn’t always look like bragging or showing off. Sometimes it hides in subtle ways—feeling entitled, relying on ourselves instead of God, or thinking our “good deeds” make us better than others.

This sermon reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about perfection—it’s about humility. God lifts up the humble and brings down the proud, and there’s freedom waiting when we let go of trying to earn His approval. Whether you’ve been in church for years or are just figuring out faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to trade pride for grace and discover the peace that comes from trusting Jesus completely.

We all have red flags—those hidden parts of us that can cause damage if we don’t deal with them. In this message from the new series Your Red Flag Is Showing, the focus is on one of the biggest red flags of all: anger. Using the story from Luke 9, where Jesus corrects His disciples for wanting to call down fire on a village, this sermon shows how even when we think our anger is “righteous,” it often comes from pride, pain, or wanting control.

Instead of letting anger run the show, this message invites you to let Jesus bring peace and healing where there’s been frustration and hurt. You’ll be challenged to stop pointing out everyone else’s red flags and start letting God work on your own. The Red Flag of Anger is an honest, hope-filled reminder that with Christ, we don’t have to be ruled by our emotions—we can be renewed by His love.

In a world where family life often revolves around the needs and schedules of children, this powerful sermon challenges a cultural norm that has quietly reshaped modern households. Drawing on Scripture from Psalms and Ephesians, the message calls believers to recentre their lives—not on their kids or even their spouse—but on God Himself. With wisdom and compassion, the pastor unpacks how making children the emotional core of the family can create strain, imbalance, and even spiritual drift.

By putting Christ at the center, families can find true harmony, deeper love, and lasting stability. This sermon offers hope and practical insight for parents seeking balance in a fast-paced world, reminding us that when Jesus is the foundation, everything else in life—marriage, parenting, and purpose—falls beautifully into place.

In this honest and relatable message from the “Tensions” series, Pastor Chad tackles the struggle we all face: how to live well without letting money take over our hearts. He dives into the tension between living and giving, showing how generosity isn’t just about finances—it’s about trust, worship, and where our hearts really are. With wisdom and a bit of humor, he reminds us that Jesus talked more about money than almost anything else, not to guilt us, but to free us.

Whether you’ve wrestled with tithing, or just felt the pressure of financial stress, this sermon offers both challenge and encouragement. Pastor Chad breaks down what the Bible actually says about giving, shares why it matters, and even invites you to a 90-day tithe challenge—no pressure, just a step of faith. If you’re ready to stop letting money call the shots and start trusting God in a deeper way, this message is for you.

It’s hard to live for God when everything around us pushes the opposite way. This message is all about learning how to follow Jesus without judging others or blending in with the world’s values. Using a simple illustration of a boat — made to be in the water but not filled with it — you'll see how Christians are meant to be in the world, but not shaped by it.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to compromise your faith just to fit in, this sermon will challenge and encourage you to stay grounded in God, live with purpose, and be a light to those around you.

Life pulls us in a hundred directions—and most of us are running on empty trying to keep up. This sermon is a reminder that God built a better rhythm for us: one that includes real rest. Drawing from the idea that tension isn’t always bad (like the cables on a bridge that hold everything together), the message shows how the Sabbath is God’s way of helping us live with balance—not burnout.

More than just a day off, Sabbath is a gift. It’s a chance to stop, breathe, worship, reconnect with God and the people we love, and remember that we’re not defined by how much we get done. This talk invites you to push back against the pressure to always be busy and discover the freedom that comes from trusting God enough to rest.

In the final message of the “Praying for More Than Me” series, we look at Jesus’s last prayer in John 17—a prayer that His followers would be united so the world could see who He really is. In a time when life feels busy and divided, this talk reminds us that representing Jesus starts with loving each other well. Unity doesn’t just happen on its own; it takes choosing Christ over politics, preferences, and personal differences.

This message is a clear call to put Jesus first, stay connected to His church, and let His love show through our relationships. When we do, we become a living picture of the gospel—proving to a divided world that God’s love is stronger than anything that could pull us apart.

In a time marked by cultural division and online outrage, this sermon—part of the Praying for More Than Me series—offers a timely and convicting call for Christians to return to the biblical mandate of praying for their leaders. Drawing from 1 Timothy 2, the message reminds believers that God's call to intercede for those in authority isn't conditional on their morality or political alignment. Instead, prayer is the pathway to peaceful, godly living and a powerful witness in a broken world.

Tthis sermon challenges the modern church to reject performative outrage and "slacktivism" in favor of sincere, Scripture-shaped intercession and active compassion. It ends with a heartfelt corporate prayer for elected officials, emphasizing that the true aim isn't political victory—but the transformation of lives through Christ. Watch this message and be equipped to respond to today’s unrest not with anger, but with prayer, dignity, and unwavering hope in the true King.
