In this message from Revelation 2:12–17, Pastor Lee examines Jesus’ letter to the church in Pergamum. Surrounded by pressure and compromise, they were reminded that Jesus knew exactly where they lived. Wherever life has placed us, He calls us to reject what leads us away from the truth, keep our...

-
9.13.26. The Church in Ephesus (Audio)
In this opening message of our new series on the seven churches of Revelation, Pastor Lee examines Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus. Their beliefs were right, their service was faithful, and their endurance was strong—but their love for Christ had grown cold. Revelation 2:1–7 reminds us…

8.16.26. See the Harvest (Audio)
In Matthew 9:35–36, Jesus does more than look at the crowds—He truly sees them and is moved with compassion. Pastor Lee challenges us to remember how the Good Shepherd came looking for us and to pray a simple but life-changing prayer: “Jesus, let me see people the way You see them.”
-
8.9.26 Habakkuk Series Week 7 (Audio)
What do we do when the explanation never comes? As the book of Habakkuk concludes, we discover that faith can tremble and still remain faith. Even when circumstances do not change and the future feels uncertain, we can remember God’s faithfulness, trust in the God of our salvation, and choose to...
-
8.2.26 Habakkuk Series Week 6
In Habakkuk 2, God warns against the empty promises of Babylon—the way of greed, false security, self-glory, indulgence, and idolatry. Pastor Dan reminds us that holiness is not how we earn God’s acceptance; it is how we respond to His grace. Discover why holiness means aligning our lives with…
more -
7.26.26 Habakkuk Series Week 5 (Audio)
When life feels uncertain and God’s ways are difficult to understand, we can stand firmly on what He has clearly revealed. In Habakkuk 2:2–5, Pastor Kurt reminds us that “the righteous shall live by faith”—trusting God’s Word, His timing, and His faithfulness even while we wait for answers.
-

When life doesn’t make sense and our own solutions fail, where do we turn? In Habakkuk 1:12–2:1, Pastor Lee reminds us that when we cannot understand God’s ways, we can trust His character, lay down our “nets,” and take our stand where His voice can be heard.
-
7.12.26 Habakkuk Week 3
What do you do when God's answer is harder than your question? In this message from Habakkuk 1:5–11, Pastor Lee explores one of the most challenging truths in Scripture: sometimes God works in ways we would never expect—or even choose. When Habakkuk cries out over the violence and injustice…

6.21.26 Getting in the Game (Pastor Kurt)
Many Christians are content to sit in the stands—consuming sermons, podcasts, Bible studies, and Christian content—while never stepping onto the field. But Scripture calls believers to something greater. In this message from 1 Timothy 6:11–16, Pastor Kurt challenges us to move beyond a spectator...
-
6.14.26 Saved to Save
In this message from Ephesians 4, Pastor Lee challenges the common assumption that spiritual growth happens automatically. Just as muscles grow through use, faith grows through obedience. The problem isn't that most believers lack truth—it's that many never put that truth into practice. Christ…

5.31.26 Gospel Change
**The Gospel Changes People — So Receive Them Accordingly | Philemon 17–25** How do you treat someone who has genuinely changed? As we conclude our *From Useless to Useful* series through Philemon, we arrive at the heart of Paul's message: the Gospel doesn't just forgive people—it transforms…
more -
5.24.26 Useless to Useful - Philemon 12-16 (part 2)
From Useless to Useful – Part 2 Philemon 12–16 The Gospel does more than save us—it transforms us. In Week 5 of our Philemon series, we continue walking through one of the shortest books in the Bible while uncovering one of the deepest realities of the Christian life: the Gospel changes people,...
-
5.17.26 Useless to Useful - Philemon 8-16 (part 1)
What happens when the person who wronged you shows up at your door — changed? That's exactly the tension the apostle Paul navigates in Philemon 8–16. Onesimus stole from his master, ran, and ended up encountering the gospel through Paul in prison. Now Paul is sending him back — and asking…
more -
5.10.26 A Gospel Reminder
A Gospel Reminder | Philemon Series | LifePointe Church Before we get to Paul's appeal in Philemon, we need to stop and ask a hard question — do you actually believe the gospel changes people? Not just in theory. In practice. In the people you knew before Christ. In yourself. In this message,...
-
5.3.26 Week 2 - A Faith That Refreshes - Pastor Kurt
Think about two kinds of people you've been around. One person—you leave the conversation drained. They didn't say anything terrible… but everything circles back to them. Their problems. Their frustrations. Their world. Then there's another person. You walk away lighter. Stronger. Clearer. They...
-
4.26.26 Grace in the House - Philemon 1-3
Week 1 of From Useless to Useful through Philemon. Before Paul deals with conflict, he establishes the foundation: grace. This message presses one central truth—if your life isn’t built on the grace of the Gospel, it will not hold when pressure comes. The Gospel doesn’t improve your structure; it...
-
4.19.26 Repentance Is the Pathway to Forgiveness
Repentance Is the Pathway to Forgiveness BIG IDEA: True forgiveness requires genuine repentance. You're not struggling with sin because you don't know better. You're struggling because you haven't truly turned from it to receive forgiveness. That's the heavy lift of love—and it's where we have to...
-
3.29.26 Encountering the Cross (audio)
Luke 23:26-56 What We See at the Cross Luke slows everything down so we don’t miss it.

-
3.22.26 Don't Be Like Herod (Pastor Dan Neimetz)
Don’t Be Like Herod Luke 23:1-25 OPENING THOUGHT This past Sunday, Pastor Dan walked us through a moment in Scripture that is easy to overlook—but incredibly revealing. It’s possible to be around Jesus… and still miss Him. Not because He isn’t clear. Not because there isn’t enough evidence. But...
-
3.15.26 Truth on Trial
Truth on Trial Luke 22:63-71 In Luke 22, something unthinkable happens: The only truly innocent man who ever lived is beaten, mocked, and put on trial — while guilty men sit in judgment over Him. And in that moment, something deeper is exposed: When people reject Christ, they’re not putting Him…

3.1.26 Equipping for the War - Luke 22:39-46
The night in Gethsemane feels still — but it is anything but peaceful. Jesus walks into the garden fully aware of what is coming. Betrayal is already in motion. Soldiers are organizing.

-
2.22.26 The Reality of Battle Luke 22:31-38
The Reality of Battle Luke 22:31-38 There are moments when life feels steady — prayer is consistent, relationships are strong, faith feels durable. And then there are moments when something unseen presses in. Not just stress or difficulty. But opposition. In the Upper Room, hours before the…
more -
2.15.26 Upside Down Kingdom Greatness
Upside Down Kingdom Greatness Luke 22:21-30 On the night before the cross, Jesus announces His betrayal. The disciples respond rightly at first — “Is it I?” But self-examination quickly dissolves into self-exaltation. A dispute arises about who is the greatest. In a moment that demanded…
more -
2.8.26 Celebrating Deliverance (Pastor Kurt)
Celebrating Deliverance Luke 22:7-23 Luke 22 places Jesus and His disciples at the Passover table—a meal built around remembrance, preparation, and hope. For Israel, Passover marked a decisive act of deliverance from slavery and reshaped their calendar, identity, and future. Now, on the eve of…

1.25.26 Ekklesia_Spirit-led Community Dynamics - pt.2
We often say we want an Acts 2 church. What we usually mean is that we want the results—joy, unity, power, growth, and impact. Acts 2 confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: those outcomes are produced, not pursued. They flow from Spirit-empowered devotion. Luke tells us the early believers...
-
1.18.26 Ekklesia: Spirit-led Community Dynamics - pt.1
When we say, “We want an Acts 2 church,” we often mean visible outcomes—more people, more power, more impact. But Acts 2 shows us that those things are never the starting point. They are the fruit. The Spirit forms a people first, and from that people flows a powerful witness.
-
1.11.26 Gospel Response to Skepticism
Acts 2:14–41 Acts 2 reminds us that skepticism toward the work of God is not new—and it doesn’t always come from the outside. When the Holy Spirit was poured out, nothing sinful was happening, nothing false was being taught, and nothing contradicted Scripture. Yet the moment was uncomfortable...
-
1.4.26 A Little Church History
Acts 2:1-13 Pentecost was not a spontaneous outbreak of spiritual enthusiasm. It was a divinely appointed moment. Luke tells us the disciples were together in one place—waiting, praying, obedient to Jesus’ command. And then heaven moved.
-
12.7.25 Advent 2025 - Week 2 - Love Prepared
The Bethlehem Candle: Love Prepared Micah 5:2; Luke 2:1–7; 1 Peter 1:13–25 The Bethlehem Candle reminds us that love doesn’t simply arrive—it prepares. Before the cry of an infant split the night air, the hand of God had already arranged every detail: a census, a journey, a full inn, and a manger...
-
11.30.25 Advent 2025 - Week 1 - Love Promised
The Prophecy Candle reminds us that God’s love didn’t begin in Bethlehem. It began in eternity. Before there was a cradle, there was a curse — and because of that curse, there was a promise. God refused to let sin write the final chapter. From the Garden to the prophets to the faithful through...
-
11.23.25 Understanding Advent (Pre-Advent 2025)
Advent isn’t nostalgia. It isn’t a countdown to gifts, lights, or sentimental moments. Advent is revelation — the moment love broke into a dark world with power strong enough to save, restore, and renew.
-
11.16.25 You Are Not Alone - Pastor Dan Neimetz
Following Jesus will take you down roads you didn’t plan, through decisions you didn’t expect, and into moments where the only thing you can do is pray. The early church understood this well. Peter was imprisoned, chained, guarded, and seemingly out of options. Yet Scripture says the church…
more -
11.9.25 When God Leads You Where You Don't Want To Go - Pastor Kurt
We all like plans. They make us feel secure — in control. But faith isn’t about control; it’s about trust. Sometimes God reroutes our “life map,” taking us off the paved roads of comfort and onto the rough terrain of surrender.
-
11.2.25 Hope that Holds - Unshakable Series - Week 4
“We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.” — Hebrews 6:19 Life has a way of shaking us — slowly, subtly, and sometimes suddenly. But the believer’s hope isn’t a wish floating on waves of circumstance; it’s an anchor set deep in the unchanging character of God. The writer of…
more -
10.26.25 Unshakable Series - Week 3 - Peace in the Pressure
Philippians 4:4–9 Life can feel like a pressure cooker — deadlines, expectations, and worries closing in from every side. We tell ourselves peace will come once the pressure stops. But Paul, writing from a Roman prison, says otherwise: “Rejoice in the Lord always… do not be anxious about…
more -
10.19.25 Unshakable Series - Week 2 - Faith Under Fire
Every generation faces its own furnace of compromise. Ours might not look like Babylon’s golden statue, but the pressure is just as real — to blend in, stay quiet, and keep faith private so we don’t stand out. Yet, as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego showed in Daniel 3, faith isn’t proven in…
more -
10.12.25 Unshakable Series - Week 1 - Built on the Rock
Life has a way of rearranging the furniture when you’re not looking. One day, everything feels familiar — then suddenly, the job changes, the relationship moves, or the ground beneath your plans starts to shake. Jesus understood that reality better than anyone. That’s why He ended the Sermon on…
