5 Point Church Sermon Audio

In this final message from the Book of Daniel, we explore one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in all of Scripture—Daniel 11. Through more than a century of world history foretold in advance, God reveals that He remains sovereign over kings, kingdoms, conflicts, and the future of His people.Daniel's message is as relevant now as it was nearly 2,500 years ago: God is in control of history, spiritual battles are real, and those who know their God can stand firm in any generation.

In week one of our Built Different series, Jacob walks through 2 Peter 1:5-8 and challenges us to examine whether our faith is truly producing change in our lives.Faith is the foundation, but Scripture calls us to add virtue — living with excellence, purpose, and obedience. If we are going to be set apart as followers of Jesus, our faith cannot stay hidden, passive, or comfortable. It should move us to action, help us stand firm in the storms, and push us to live differently in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.This message is a reminder that we are not called to simply know more about God. We are called to live for Him with boldness, excellence, and faith that produces real change.

This message from Daniel 10 reminds us that there is a spiritual battle taking place that we cannot always see, but we are not alone in it. Through Daniel’s example of prayer, fasting, and faithfulness, we are encouraged to slow down, seek God, and trust that He is working even when we do not yet see the answer.When Daniel found himself in a season of mourning, confusion, and waiting, he did not rush to fix the problem in his own strength. Instead, he humbled himself before God and sought Him through prayer and fasting. This passage reminds us that our battles are not only physical or emotional, but spiritual. Because of that, we need spiritual weapons.No matter what battle you may be facing, this message is a reminder that God hears, God sees, and God is working. Even when the answer feels delayed, His presence is near, His power is greater, and His victory is secure.

In this message from Daniel 9, Pastor Dean walks through one of the most debated passages in Scripture: Daniel’s seventy weeks. As Daniel prays for repentance and restoration, Gabriel reveals a prophetic timeline that ultimately points us to Jesus, the new covenant, and the finished work of the cross.This teaching explores Daniel’s prayer, the exile in Babylon, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the end of the sacrificial system, and why everything in Scripture points to Jesus. Pastor Dean also challenges us to let the Bible shape our understanding of culture, politics, suffering, and the end times, not movies, social media, or popular opinion.Whether you have studied Daniel for years or are hearing this passage for the first time, this message will encourage you to read God’s Word carefully, trust what it says, and live in obedience to Jesus.

What happens when you truly trust God with your future?In this message from Daniel 8, we are reminded that God has always been in control. Kingdoms rise and fall, culture changes, and the world feels uncertain, but none of it surprises Him.Daniel received visions of things far beyond his understanding, yet his response was simple: he got up and went about the king’s business.That same challenge is for us today. Instead of living consumed by fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, we can live with confidence because Jesus has already secured the victory.If God was faithful then, He is still faithful now.

What does it look like to live faithfully in a chaotic world?In this message, we walk through Daniel 6 and 7, covering the story of Daniel in the lion’s den and the vision that reveals God’s plan for the future.Daniel was not a young man when he faced the lions. He was older and still faithful. Even under pressure, he refused to hide his relationship with God. His life shows us that faith is not meant to be private. It is meant to be lived out where others can see it.We also explore Daniel’s vision in chapter 7, where kingdoms rise and fall, but one truth remains clear. God is still on the throne, His kingdom will never end, and everything points to Jesus.Key Takeaways:- Faithfulness matters- Your witness impacts others- God is in control even when the world feels chaotic- Following Jesus involves pressure, not comfort- Jesus is King and His kingdom will not be destroyedIf this message challenged or encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs it.If you are new, we would love to connect with you.

What happens when you know the truth but choose to ignore it?In this message from Daniel 5, we walk through the story of King Belshazzar and the moment known as the handwriting on the wall. This is not just history. It is a warning about pride, about treating what is holy as common, and about what happens when we reject what we already know is true.Belshazzar had seen what God did in the life of Nebuchadnezzar. He knew the truth. Instead of humbling himself, he chose pride, and it cost him everything.This message challenges us to ask a direct question. Are we living like Daniel or like Belshazzar?In this message, you will learn:- Why knowing God is not the same as following God- The danger of pride and informed rebellion- What it means to treat holy things with honor- How God’s patience works and where the limit is- How this story applies to our lives todayGod’s Word always comes to pass. The question is how you will respond.

What happens when your faith is actually tested?In this message through Daniel chapters 3 and 4, we look at two major tests every believer faces: the test of trust and the test of pride. Through the stories of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and King Nebuchadnezzar, we see that real faith is more than belief. It is surrender, even when life does not go the way we expected.A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. True faith says, even if God does not, I still will. Pride builds kingdoms, but humility sustains them.Whether you are walking through a difficult season, questioning your faith, or needing a reminder of who is in control, this message is for you.Key Takeaways:- Faith is proven in the fire, not in comfort- Trusting God means surrendering outcomes- Pride leads to destruction, but humility leads to restoration- God does not owe us an explanation, but He is always worthy of our trust

The world is constantly trying to shape your identity. The question is, who are you becoming?In Daniel 1 and 2, we see how Daniel and his friends were taken into Babylon and pressured to conform to a completely different culture. Everything about them was meant to change, but Daniel made a decision to stay faithful to God no matter the cost.Because of that faithfulness in the small things, God gave him influence in the big things.This message will challenge you to stand firm in your faith, live differently from the world around you, and trust that God honors those who remain faithful.📖 Daniel 1 and 2

Judas walked with Jesus, saw the miracles, heard every teaching, and still missed Him.In this message, we dive into Acts 1 and the ascension of Jesus to understand why it matters for us today. The ascension was not just Jesus leaving. It was the moment He gave us power through the Holy Spirit, a purpose to live on mission, and a promise that He is coming back.But there is a tension we cannot ignore. Judas looked like a disciple, lived like a disciple, and was trusted by everyone, yet he was never truly changed.This message challenges us to ask:Is my faith real or just routine?Have I truly surrendered my life to Jesus?Am I following Him or just around Him?This is not about religion. It is about transformation. Don’t miss what Judas missed.

In this message, we take a clear look at what it really means to follow Jesus.In a culture where faith is often reduced to a moment or a decision, Jesus gives a much deeper call—to live as a disciple. Walking through 1 Corinthians 15 and Matthew 28, this message unpacks the reality of the resurrection and the responsibility that comes with it.We’ll explore:Why the resurrection mattersWhat the Great Commission actually meansThe difference between believing in Jesus and following HimWhat a true disciple looks like in everyday lifeJesus didn’t just save us—He calls us to follow Him fully and to help others do the same.📖 Scriptures:1 Corinthians 15Matthew 28:16–20Matthew 16:24Luke 14:33John 8:31

Have you ever felt like your past disqualifies you from what God has for your future?In this message, we walk through the powerful story of Peter, one of Jesus’ closest disciples, who denied Him three times and yet was fully restored, called, and used by God in a mighty way.Many people live stuck in guilt and shame, believing their mistakes define them. But what if that is not how Jesus sees you at all?Through Luke 22 and John 21, we uncover:Why Jesus looked at Peter after his failureThe difference between guilt and shameHow Jesus restores us without condemning usWhy your failure is not your identityHow to step out of shame and into your callingThis message is a reminder that you are not disqualified. You are called.If you have been hiding, holding onto regret, or believing lies about who you are, it is time to get out of the boat and run back to Jesus.

Pastor Brad Carter continues our Easter series, He Appeared, with a powerful message from John 20 called Locked Doors and Living Hope.The disciples were hiding behind locked doors, full of fear, confusion, and doubt, when Jesus suddenly appeared and spoke peace into the room. In this message, we see that Jesus still meets people right in the middle of fear, shame, and uncertainty. He does not wait for us to get everything together. He steps into our mess, shows us His scars, speaks peace, and reminds us that hope is alive.If you have ever felt stuck behind fear, regret, or doubt, this message is for you.Scripture: John 20:19-29In this message: • Jesus appears in the middle of fear • Jesus appears with scars, not shame • Jesus comes back for doubters • Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe

In our series “He Appeared,” we’re exploring the moments after the resurrection when Jesus revealed Himself to His followers. In this message, we look at the powerful story from Luke 24 of Jesus appearing to two disciples on the Road to Emmaus.As these two followers walked away from Jerusalem confused, discouraged, and heartbroken, Jesus came alongside them, even though they didn’t recognize Him at first. Instead of immediately revealing Himself, Jesus opened the Scriptures, showing how everything in the Old Testament pointed to Him.Through this story we discover an important truth:The solution to our confusion is Scripture.Just like the disciples, we often face disappointment, unanswered questions, and seasons where we don’t see what God is doing. But this passage reminds us that Jesus walks with us even when we don’t recognize Him, and when we turn to His Word, our eyes begin to open.In this message we learn:How Jesus meets us in our disappointmentWhy Scripture brings clarity in confusing timesWhy our faith must be grounded in God’s Word, not just experiencesHow a true encounter with Jesus leads us to share Him with othersIf this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope today.

Why did Jesus appear first to Mary Magdalene after the resurrection?In this message, we begin our Easter series on the 10 appearances of Jesus after He rose from the dead. Before appearing to the disciples, religious leaders, or crowds, Jesus revealed Himself to a woman who had once been delivered from seven demons.Why Mary?In this sermon we explore what the Bible teaches about Mary Magdalene, what happened at the empty tomb, and what her encounter with the risen Jesus teaches us about seeking God today.In this message you'll learn:Why Jesus reveals Himself to those who seek HimWhat it means to stay faithful through painHow to recognize the voice of the ShepherdWhy many believers grow comfortable in their faithWhat happens when you truly encounter the risen Christ

Do you ever feel like your relationship with God is a performance review?Like if you read enough, pray enough, give enough, and behave well enough — then maybe God will approve of you?Here’s the truth: Grace is not wages. You don’t earn it. You receive it.In this message from Romans 6–7, Angela Lamb unpacks the difference between being a slave to rules and being a slave of righteousness. We’ll confront legalism, self-effort, and the exhausting cycle of trying to earn what Jesus already paid for.You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.It has never been about performance.It has always been about the blood.

In this message from our Do You Believe? series, we walk verse-by-verse through Romans 12:1–2 and unpack what real worship actually is. Worship isn’t just singing a song—it’s presenting your entire life to God as a living sacrifice.The question isn’t whether you attend church. The question is: Does your Monday–Saturday match your Sunday?In this message, we talk about: • What it truly means to be a slave of righteousness (Romans 6:17–18) • Why obedience is a response to God’s mercy • The difference between being conformed to the world and transformed by Christ • How renewing your mind changes the way you live • What God would see if He graded your weekGod isn’t looking for part of you. He’s asking for all of you.
