The Point VA

Christmas is a reminder that we don’t always see as God sees. In this message Pastor Gabe teaches from Micah 5:2 on those circumstances and how God still has a purpose for people that we may have lost hope in… including ourselves.

When it comes to Christmas we all have so many emotions, expectations, and desires that we try to manage against what we believe to be reality. Some of us choose to not expect so much; others lose hope all together. In this week’s message Pastor Gabe teaches from another promise implied in Matthew 1:1, and the encouragement to center our hope on the One Who is always true to His promises.

This Christmas season finds many of us trying to make sense out of the current season of life we find ourselves in. You’re trying to produce sense out of what seems senseless; purpose out of that which feels purposeless. You’re craving fulfillment. In week 2 of our series, Prepare Him Room, Pastor Gabe teaches on the fulfillment that God wants to bring out of the darkest struggles and seasons of our lives.

While Christmas should be one of the happiest seasons of the year the reality is that for most it’s a season of diminished hope. In week 1 of our series, Prepare Him Room, Pastor Gabe teaches from one of the most hope-filled verses in all of the New Testament and the meaning of this verse for our darkest days.

Following Jesus is both a transformation and a process. It changes everything and opens up our hearts to more of what God has for us. Watch as Pastor Tim shares a special message on how we are freed from sin and what life in the family of God is meant to be.

For thousands of years Psalm 118 has been a source of hope for those in the dark valleys of life. In week three of our series, Pastor Gabe teaches from the final part of Psalm 118 on the truth that filled David’s heart with hope and that has the same power for us as well.

While the backstory of Psalm 118 is one of distress, David never allowed an awareness of his enemies to control him. In week two of Psalm 118, Pastor Gabe teaches on the key to victory over surrounding armies, and while it begins with Jehovah at the center, there’s a responsibility that David must embrace as he enters battle. It’s the same responsibility that we must have the courage to embrace as well.

When negative circumstances surface it's very easy for them to become the center of our lives. Psalm 118 is a Psalm of distress though the distress never becomes the focal point of the author. In week one of our series on Psalm 118, Pastor Gabe teaches from the first nine verses on the key to sanity in the midst of distress.

It’s easy to blame someone else when you find yourself in the middle of conflict. Whether you’re in conflict with others, with God, or with yourself, do you ever wonder how to rise above it? In week three of our series, One Verse, we’re talking about James 4:6, the role that pride plays in the conflicts of life and how you can create space for humility.

In week two of our series, One Verse, Pastor Gabe and Kari share from a passage of Scripture that God has used to shape The Point as we celebrate eight years as a church.
