The Point VA

In week two of "A Stirring," Pastor Dave walks through the list of spiritual gifts from Romans 12. The Apostle Paul instructed Timothy to "stir up the gifts." What does that mean for us?

Have you ever experienced a stirring? In week 1 of the new series, A Stirring, Pastor Gabe teaches from the book of Haggai how God personally & corporately encourages us. Too often we desire a meaningful life, yet experience less than due to fear and misaligned priorities. Instead of allowing opposition and discouragement to direct our path, God stirs us to action for our good and His glory.

Each of us were designed on purpose and with purpose. In week 4 of our series, Most of Your Moments, Pastor Gabe teaches from Ecclesiastes 12 on how God wants to make the most of the moments of our lifetime.

Moments come and go in a flash. In this week three of our series we discover that we never make the most of our moments unless we're pursuing true connectivity. It's true of parents with children, and it's true of every area where we experience a relational intersection in life.

Our enemy loves to accuse us in the spheres of influence that God has given us. He accuses us in the areas of our job performance and our leadership, in our parenting and our calling as a spouse. The accusations leave us wounded and stuck, and thoughts like, “I’m a failure,” “I can’t,” “I’ll never,” “I’m not smart enough,” "I'm not good enough," consume our minds. In week 2 of our series Most of Your Moments, Pastor Gabe teaches from Exodus 2 on one of Moses' most painful moments in life, and how God reached into his moment of pain and brought about healing and clarity, which is what He wants for each of us as well.

So often our external image management outweighs our private life, and we find ourselves on the verge of empty. In week one of The Most of Your Moments, Pastor Gabe teaches from Mark 3 and the appointment Jesus has given us to lead lives of exceptional impact. Only a private life with Jesus produces a public life of greatness.

The nature of a reach is that it requires a stretch; going beyond what we perceive as our capacity. Unless someone is calling it out of us, very rarely will we truly go for it. In this week's message Pastor Gabe continues to teach from Acts 1 on the potential that God has put in us and is calling out of us.

None of us are exempt from the stretch that God allows in our lives. We don't always appreciate it, but if we lean in and embrace the moment it could lead to our greatest season of fulfillment. In this week's message Pastor Gabe continues our REACH Series as he teaches on the stretch of the early church and what it means for our lives.

There is a long list of things that can take our eyes off the finish line. With all of the barriers and obstacles to living a godly life, its easy to live in the here & now and focus on finishing our own race well. But what about those behind us? How will we reach the generations after us? In week two of our REACH Series, Next Generation Pastor, Tim Thorn talks about how we can live a life that extends beyond the walls of our own generation.

In week one of REACH, Tony Wolf of Compassion International shares the need for the church to partner together to eliminate child poverty around the world.
