The Point VA

In week 1 of our Rooted series through the book of Colossians, Pastor Gabe unpacks what it means to be deeply grounded in our identity in Christ. When we understand whose we are, we begin to live with true strength, joy, and purpose that grows from the inside out.

In week three of our Pray First series, Pastor Matt walks through Genesis 16 and 21 to reveal a God who meets people in their most vulnerable moments. Through the story of Hagar and Ishmael, we see that God is not distant or indifferent, but deeply attentive to the woman in distress and the child in the womb. We are reminded that every human life bears God’s image and has inherent worth from the very beginning. As a church, we have a responsibility as the people of God to support our most vulnerable neighbors.

In week two of our Pray First series, Pastor Gabe teaches from Psalm 23, revealing Jehovah Rohi—the Lord our Shepherd—and how true rest, restoration, and security come not from striving for access to the right things, but from living in God’s presence. As David’s story unfolds from exhaustion to praise, we’re invited to lay down our burdens, realign our lives, and dwell deeply with the Shepherd who leads us, restores us, and welcomes us home.

As we begin a new year, Pastor Gabe launches our Pray First series by exploring the first name of God revealed in Scripture—Elohim—and how knowing who God is anchors our lives in prayer. Understanding God as Elohim brings order, clarity, and peace, inviting us to build lives of prayer shaped by His character rather than our circumstances.

 In this Christmas with The Point message, Pastor Gabe teaches from the Christmas narrative in the Gospel of John, revealing Jesus as the Light who creates, sustains, overcomes, draws near, and ultimately changes everything. We’re reminded that the Light of the world stepped into our darkness so we could find rest, purpose, victory, and salvation in Him.

In this week 4 Advent message, Pastor Matt C. focuses on the true meaning of peace—not as the absence of conflict, but as the presence of God producing wholeness in our lives. Through the Christmas story in Luke 2, we’re reminded that conflict doesn’t remove God’s peace; it reveals where we place our trust. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers peace with God, peace within, and peace with others. Discover how Christmas didn’t ignore conflict—it cured it.

In this Advent Week 3 message, Pastor Matt invites us into the darkness of the shepherds’ night in Luke 2 and shows that biblical joy doesn’t come from perfect circumstances, Christmas cheer, or fragile anchors. Ultimately, joy is tethered to the Gospel and to the person of Jesus—our Savior, Messiah, and Lord.

In this Advent message, Pastor Gabe unpacks the faith-filled journey of the Magi to Bethlehem in Matthew 2. We learn four marks of faith that help us trust God in the little, follow Him in the unknown, endure the distance, and offer Him our very best.

Pastor Tony shares from Luke 1 about how we can have hope in every circumstance because of the faithfulness of God revealed to us in the season of Advent. We can lean into the hope of the gospel because Advent is the story of a God who came near. As we listen to God’s voice, embrace radical gratitude and give God the glory he deserves, we learn that there is a gift in every season when we walk through those seasons with God. 

Life is short, but what we build can last forever. In week four of our series, Built to Last, Pastor Gabe teaches from 2 Corinthians 5:10–21 and reminds us that eternity isn’t someday — it starts now. We discover how to live with holy urgency, embrace our new identity in Christ, serve as His ambassadors, and build our lives on His finished work.
