Some of us lack focus.  Some of us lack confidence. Some of us lack faith. Prayer isn’t just an action you do.Prayer is a way that you live.  At His baptism. (Lk 3:21-22)  In the morning before heading to Galilee. (Mk 1:35-36)  After healing people. (Lk 5:16)  All night before choosing His disciples. (Lk 6:12-13)  While speaking to the Jewish leaders. (Mt 11:25-26)  Giving thanks to the Father before feeding 5,000. (Jn 6:11, Mt 14:19, Mk 6:41, Lk 9:16)  Before […] The post Never Stop Praying first appeared on The Point (church).

PROBLEM – Why we don’t pray and why we should What motivates us to pray? Trouble. Fears: God’s not going to do it. Wonder if God doesn’t want what I want? God wants your best, can you trust him? Is there something you want so bad but you know God doesn’t want that for you? Psalm 88 asks, is God praised for the bad things? Answers to prayer glorify God. GOD – God has a purpose for us and he […] The post God Wants To Answer Your Prayers first appeared on The Point (church).

PROBLEM And even after walking with Jesus for quite a while I still find that when it comes to prayer, I’m a learner. I still feel like such a rookie sometimes. I’ve learned a lot about prayer, but I still also have a long way to go. But that is how everyone feels about prayer. It’s like asking Jacques Cousteau how much he knows about the ocean. But as important as prayer is, it is also pretty difficult, isn’t it? […] The post What Do You Want? first appeared on The Point (church).

PROBLEM – Why is mercy so hard Grace is what God gives us – Mercy is what we give others – Compassion is what people deserve (fine line). Opposite- ruthless, cruel, inhumane. Judge and executioner Do you ever think to yourself, Is my life really pleasing to God? Mercy isn’t natural for me, complaining is. Pizza guy  GOD – But it’s what we do A story of mercy Matthew 18:23-35 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who […] The post Mercy Is Love first appeared on The Point (church).

The fastest way to kill something beautiful and unique is to compare it to something else.  Comparison is the thief of joy Teddy Roosevelt  Matthew 25:14-30 14 Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man […] The post Comparison in the Family first appeared on The Point (church).

Problems leadership was a blend of competence and character. Until a friend remarked, “Did you ever stop to think that most failures in leadership are failures in character and not failures in competence?” If character is the reason most people fail, what causes most of our character failures? who I think I am is not who I am. Who I say I am is not who I am. Character is this: who I am at my core is displayed through […] The post Character Matters first appeared on The Point (church).

FUNNY PICS OF WHY KIDS ARE MAD PROBLEM The first thing that a sinful heart causes us to do is to believe a lie that dates all the way back to the garden. The lie that we can be independent from God.  For kids, the bottom line is they are asserting they don’t need, or want, a parent to guide them.  But behind the behavior, whether good or bad, something on our inside is hooked to something dangerous on the […] The post Parenting For Love first appeared on The Point (church).

The quality of your decisions determines the quality of your life.  Deuteronomy 3:19-20 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.

For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years […] The post Father’s Day first appeared on The Point (church).

PROBLEM I am sharing this content with you so that you would re-envisioned authority and understand how to implement your submission to God‘s authority. How life is made better by this. Human authority is often abused and misused. Different cultures have a different view of authority. A lack of trust because I’m not sure you will take the best care of me. I can do better for myself. GOD Matthew 20:20-21, 24-28 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to […] The post Trusting Authority first appeared on The Point (church).
