The Point VA

Pastor Matt unpacks the reality of the resurrection, showing that Jesus didn’t just rise from the grave—He made a new path for us from death to life, and each person must choose which path to follow. Walking with Jesus means daily transformation. Ultimately, the message calls us to take our next step with Jesus, trusting in both His promise and His power to lead us into a fully transformed life.

We spend so much of life searching for fulfillment, yet still find ourselves asking, “Is this really it?” In this Easter message from Luke 24, Pastor Gabe teaches how the resurrection of Jesus answers our deepest longing and changes everything.

In the final week of "I've Witnessed It", Pastor Matt highlights that the kingdom of God is the greatest treasure, and when we truly encounter Jesus, it reshapes our values and compels us to care about what He cares about—reaching lost people. Through stories from John’s Gospel, we see a simple pattern: when people encounter Jesus, they naturally invite others to “come and see,” trusting Him to do the transforming work. Ultimately, the message reminds us that witnessing isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are, as found people who go and find others.

This message reminds us that faith in God is not blind but grounded in truth, as God has revealed Himself through creation, through Jesus Christ, and through the testimonies of transformed lives. Using the framework of C.P.R.—Cause, Personal Testimony, and Resurrection—we see that the universe had a beginning, pointing to a Creator; that God is actively at work in people’s lives today; and that the resurrection of Jesus stands as the most reasonable explanation of the historical evidence. Because of this, Christianity is not merely something that feels meaningful, but something that is true in reality, calling each of us to live as witnesses who are ready to give a reason for the hope we have and to share the truth of the gospel with others.

In week one of our I’ve Witnessed It series, Pastor Gabe shares the story of Esther and the celebration of Purim while reflecting on witnessing God’s faithfulness during our recent trip to Israel. As chaos turns to reversal, we’re reminded that the same God who preserved His people then is still advancing His redemptive purposes today—preparing our hearts for Easter.

In the final week of the Rooted series, Matt teaches from Colossians 4 that being rooted in Christ is not the finish line but the starting point for a life on mission. He highlights six marks of a rooted church. Ultimately, the message reminds us that the gospel advances through ordinary people who are deeply rooted in Christ and moving forward together. 

In Week 5 of Rooted, Pastor Tony works through Colossians 3:18–4:6, where Paul brings the gospel into three arenas of ordinary life: the home, the workplace, and our relationships with those outside the church. From marriage to Monday morning to everyday conversations, we'll see how a life rooted in Christ produces sacrifice, excellence, and wisdom in the places we spend the most time.

In Week 4 of Rooted, Pastor Gabe walks verse by verse through Colossians 3:1–17, where Paul shifts from what we believe about Christ to how we live because of Him. As we learn what to seek, what to kill, and what to cultivate, we discover that resurrection identity produces resurrection living — a transformed life rooted above and expressed right here on earth.

In Week 3 of Rooted, Pastor Gabe teaches verse by verse through Colossians 2:1–23, where Paul warns against hollow substitutes and calls believers to remain firmly rooted in Christ alone. As we see that our debt has been canceled, our enemy defeated, and our fullness found in Jesus, we discover that true spiritual growth doesn’t come from performance or religion, but from holding fast to Christ.

In Week 2 of Rooted, Pastor Gabe teaches verse by verse through Colossians 1:15–29, where Paul lifts our eyes to the supremacy of Jesus over creation, the church, our salvation, and our purpose. As we see Christ more clearly as Creator, Sustainer, Reconciler, and Lord, we discover that a rooted life is not built on striving, but on surrendering everything to the One who holds all things together.
