The Cost of Discipleship
Pastor Wayne Francis teaches us that there is a difference between simply being a Christian and being a disciple of Christ. Through the parable of the banquet, we are reminded that the cost of discipleship will always be worth it.
-
Parable of the Sower
Pastor Shawn challenges us to examine the spiritual condition of our hearts and how we respond when God’s Word takes root in our lives. The seed never changes; the question is whether our hearts are hardened, shallow, crowded, or ready to receive the Word and produce lasting fruit.
-
An Inconvenient Promise
When God’s promises seem broken, the story of the Shunammite woman reminds us to bring those promises back to God, internalize His shalom, and trust Him even when circumstances appear contradictory. Reverend Dr. Nicole Massie Martin reminds us that what may look like a broken promise today can...
-
Instructions for Christian Households
What does it really look like to build a Christ-centered home? Pastor Shawn McGill unpacks Colossians 3:18-25, challenging us to replace control with mutual submission, harshness with Christlike love, and frustration with wholehearted service, reminding us that everything we do is ultimately for...
-
Whatever You Do
Our lives as believers were never meant to be compartmentalized, but all too often we find ourselves closing off certain areas to God. Pastor Shawn teaches us that when we invite God into every part of our lives, we can break free from the struggle of control.
-
Put This On
You can leave the old life behind and still find yourself reaching for old ways of living. Culpeper Campus Pastor Aaron Judkins walks through Colossians 3:10–14 using the picture of the closet, the mirror, and the clothes to show us how Jesus shapes who we are and how we can live the Jesus Way.
-
Put It To Death
Because we have been raised to new life with Christ, the patterns of our old life no longer have to rule us. Pastor Shawn McGill highlights the call in Colossians 3 to put sin to death and shares three practical ways to confront it: expose it, starve it, and ask the Holy Spirit for help. If…

One Degree
A lie does not have to be obvious to pull us away from the truth. Sometimes, it only needs to distort what God said by one degree. Dr. Donna Pisani shows us how to recognize those lies and answer them with the settled truth of God’s Word. When the enemy asks, “Did God really say?” we can respond...
-
A Sure Future
Life is full of “what ifs,” but Psalm 23 gives us a “surely.” Pastor Shawn reminds us that even when we do not know what the future holds, we can trust the Shepherd who leads us.
-
Questions in the Valley
In the valleys of life, it’s natural to have questions about how long the struggle will last, whether we have the strength to make it through, and whether we are truly alone. Pastor Shawn uses Psalm 23 to remind us that the Shepherd is always with us, and even in the darkest shadows, His presence...
-
The Lord Is My Shepherd
Pastor Shawn McGill shares how Psalm 23 reminds us that true peace comes when we stop striving for control and trust the Lord as our Shepherd. By trusting Him, we discover the blessings of His shepherding care through His provision, His rest, and His restoring grace for every wandering soul.
-
A Holy Hunger
God gave us all appetites, and what we hunger for, we will pursue and ultimately be shaped by. Pastor Shawn teaches us how fasting and prayer can reshape our appetites and cultivate a holy hunger within us.
-
Getting Ready for Victory
Before the walls of Jericho fell, God first prepared the hearts of His people. Pastor Eddie Cole of Lifepoint Hampton Roads shows us why consecration comes before conquest and how surrender positions us for the victory God has ahead.
-
Food Bank Sunday
A church that changes its city is a church that carries the heart of Jesus, and answers the prayer of Jesus. On this Food Bank Sunday, Pastor Michael shows us how being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community fulfills our call to reach the least, the last, and the lost.
-
Go & Do
What if compassion is not just something we feel, but something we have been called to do? As we kick off Paint the Town Red, members of our Lifepoint staff team teach through the parable of the Good Samaritan and challenge us to see the needs around us, love beyond comfort or differences, and go...
-
Change Your Algorithm
Every day, you’re being discipled by something; what has your attention is shaping your heart, your habits, and ultimately your life. Pastor TJ Williams challenges us to intentionally change who we listen to, where we plant ourselves, how we speak, and how we see God, so we can be formed by His...
-
The Weight We Carry
This Father’s Day message looks at the story of Elijah, a prophet who went from a mountaintop victory to running in fear and feeling ready to quit. Pastor Shawn McGill identifies three common mistakes we make when life feels overwhelming and shows us how to respond with faith.
-
Seek My Face
Most of us want revival, but we need to be in the right posture to show God we are ready. What is that posture? Dr. Caleb Brown, Louisville Campus Pastor, shows us that we need to humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face, and turn from our wicked ways. Imagine what it would look like for revival…

Today, I Choose To Forgive _______.
The hardest person to forgive may be the person who hurt you most. In this message, Pastor Aaron Judkins teaches from Matthew 18 and shows how the forgiveness we have received through Jesus changes the way we carry offense. Freedom begins when we stop letting someone else’s sin dominate our lives.

After You
Parenting doesn’t happen by accident; every child is being formed, either with intention or by default. Pastor Shawn challenges us to shape the next generation in wisdom, identity, relationships, and faith, while reminding us that our influence is greatest when we model what we hope to see in them.
-
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
We cannot fully live the life God intended for us apart from community, because we were created to do life together. Pastor Michael shows us how, by bringing people in and building people up, we can become the kind of friend who changes the world.
-
Beside You
What if the problem in our conflict is deeper than the argument itself? Pastor Shawn teaches from the book of James on the desires that drive our fights and the humility that allows God’s grace to restore our relationships.
-
God Remembered Her
Feeling unseen or forgotten can make God’s silence feel distant, but Scripture reminds us that His remembrance is never passive; it is intentional, personal, and powerful. Pastor Jennifer reminds us that even in seasons of waiting, God sees the overlooked, rescues in the storm, and calls us to...

Behind You
While sin is part of the human experience, generational patterns of sin can often feel overwhelming to confront. Pastor Shawn reminds us that although these patterns can run deep in our families, God’s love runs deeper still and is powerful enough to break them.
-
Walk This Way
Jesus came to bring freedom to the oppressed, and the life He offers is not a sprint but a daily walk of faith where we are continually shaped and restored as we follow Him. Pastor Dino Rizzo reminds us that when we walk in His Spirit, stay aware of the hurting around us, and embrace our unique...
-
Never Stop Growing
God never intended for us to simply survive or arrive; spiritual growth is a lifelong journey of becoming who He created us to be in Christ. Pastor Shawn challenges us to seek out people who can pour wisdom into our lives, while also stepping up to mentor and encourage others so that what God…

When Hope Feels Lost
Disappointment can take over when life doesn’t meet our expectations, but hope isn’t lost. Pastor Shawn McGill shows how remembering Jesus is near, trusting His promises, and making room for His presence restores hope.

The Truth About the Empty Tomb
The way you view something determines how you prepare for it, and how you view the empty tomb shapes your response to Easter. Dr. Caleb Brown reveals how the empty tomb invites curiosity, leads to an encounter with Jesus, brings revelation, and ultimately sends us out to share the good news.
-
Worry’s Antidote
Worry touches every part of our lives, but Jesus shows us a better way in Matthew 6. Pastor Shawn McGill reminds us that worry cannot add anything to our lives, but trust in Jesus can bring real peace.
-
Why Are You Afraid?
It’s easy to ask God to calm the storms around us without realizing He wants to calm the storm within us. Culpeper Campus Pastor Aaron Judkins shares how prioritizing God’s presence and remembering His faithfulness leads to true, lasting peace.
-
Who Gets It?
Greed is often easier to see in others than in ourselves, yet our culture constantly pressures us to believe that what we have is never enough. Through the story of the rich fool, Pastor Shawn reminds us that a truly full life comes not from accumulating more, but from recognizing God as our...

The Call to Love
For believers, love is a command, but it often proves easier to love some than others. Pastor Jennifer McGill challenges us to love like Jesus, revealing that true love is not weakness, but strength fully surrendered and brought under control.

Do You Want to Get Well?
In the kickoff of our brand new series, Moments with Jesus, Pastor Shawn McGill takes us to John 5 and the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus asks a simple question: “Do you want to get well?” This message reminds us that when we stop settling for what we have learned to live with and take an honest...

Ready the Horses
As believers, we trust God for the victory, yet we’re called to faithfully prepare and give our very best. On Vision Sunday, Pastor Shawn reminds us that when we invest our hearts and time into growing people and reaching the lost, we position ourselves for the incredible things God is ready to do.
-
Take Your Place
There are times when there are unguarded gaps in our lives; not caused by wrongdoing, but by a lack of intentional responsibility. Michael Gregory shows us how God closes these gaps not by giving more information, but by inviting His people to step into their place and identity, even when...
-
A Cleared Path
God clears the path when we choose surrender. Pastor Shawn McGill reminded us that surrender is a process, not a moment. It begins with trusting God with our whole heart, releasing the need to rely on our own understanding, and choosing to acknowledge Him in every area of our lives. When we let…

When We Continue
While January is often filled with new resolutions, it’s not what we start with excitement that shapes our lives, but what we continue with consistency. Pastor Shawn shares how faithful, consistent church attendance and the community of a small group can help make this our best year yet.

Throw it Off
The weight of our burdens and ongoing struggles with sin can leave us feeling stuck. Pastor Shawn McGill shows how fixing our eyes on Jesus empowers us to let go of what holds us back and run the race we are called to.

It's Time to Start
We live in a world where knowledge is easily accessible, yet often left unapplied. As the new year begins, Pastor Shawn explores the parable of the two houses in the book of Matthew, reminding us that true wisdom is found not just in what we know, but in how we live it out.
-
Close the Door
As we step into the new year, Pastor Shawn invites us to close the doors that keep us stuck so we can move forward with God. This message challenges us to release past failures, words of death spoken over us, distractions, and unresolved hurt, and to trust God as He leads us into what’s next.
-
Rebuilding Broken Altars
There are moments in our walk with God where we can sense that something is broken, but we don’t know how to fix it. Pastor Shawn uses the story of Elijah to teach us how we can restore what is broken through honesty, devotion, and faith.
-
A Costly Altar
Throughout this series, we have learned that an altar is a place where people surrendered, and in that place of surrender and obedience, God would meet them there. Pastor Shawn shows us how living a life of sacrifice is not one of God taking things from us, but rather forming something deeper...
-
Altars of Trust
Sometimes God allows our faith to be tested, not to take something from us but to do something in us. Pastor Shawn McGill shares the story of Abraham to show what it means to truly trust God when the stakes are high. Through Abraham’s obedience, we see that every test of faith is really a test of...

Altars of Gratitude
Gratitude is more than a feeling, it’s a response to God’s goodness in our lives. Pastor Shawn uses the life of Noah to illustrate how true, expressed gratitude moves the heart of God.
