Point View Church

What if the reason we struggle to be honest isn’t just behavior… but fear?In this message from Matthew 5:33–37, we explore why we exaggerate, overcommit, manipulate perception, and create polished versions of ourselves to gain approval or avoid disappointment. Jesus’ words, “Let your yes be yes,” are not just about telling the truth — they are an invitation into freedom.Because the more secure you become in God’s unwavering “yes” toward you, the less you need to manage other people’s yes toward you.This message is for anyone exhausted from performing, people-pleasing, or trying to keep a false version of themselves alive.

Jesus talks about lust… but not the way you think.Instead of just saying “stop,” He goes deeper—into the desires, needs, and heart beneath our actions. This message unpacks a powerful truth: behavior can’t produce transformation—only a changed heart can.If you’re tired of trying harder and still feeling stuck, this message might change everything.

Do you ever feel like your life isn’t really making a difference?In this message from the Kingdom People series, we explore Jesus’ powerful words in Matthew 5:13–16 where He calls ordinary people the salt of the earth and the light of the world.Before Jesus tells us what to do, He tells us who we are.Your life carries more influence than you realize.Discover how Jesus invites us to bring flavor to a fading world, reflect His light in the darkness, and live from the identity He has already given us.✨ You are salt. You are light. The question is—will you let it shine?

Everyone wants the good life.Happiness. Success. Security. A life that finally feels blessed.But what if Jesus completely redefines who is truly blessed?In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes a surprising kind of person living in God’s Kingdom—people with open hands instead of clenched fists. People who stop trying to be their own solution and begin trusting God with their need, their pain, and their future.In this message we explore the Beatitudes and discover why the life Jesus calls “blessed” looks very different from the life our world pursues.What if the good life isn’t found in control…but in open hands before God?

What are you betting your life on?Career. Relationships. Success. Being a good person. We all build our lives on something we believe will finally satisfy us. But Christianity makes a strange and bold claim: a dead carpenter from Nazareth walked out of a tomb three days later.If that’s not true, the apostle Paul says our faith is pointless. But if it is true, it changes everything.In this Easter message from Matthew 28, we explore the historical claims of the resurrection and the personal journey of faith—from curiosity, to encountering Jesus, to falling at His feet in surrender.Because resurrection means something incredible:The worst thing is never the last thing.

What if everything you thought about power was backwards? On Palm Sunday, the crowd expected a conquering king — armies, strength, and victory. Instead, Jesus rode in on a donkey. In this message, we explore why that moment changes everything, and what it means to discover a King whose power looks nothing like the world's — but transforms everything it touches.

Everyone is searching for something. Security. Peace. Love. Belonging.In a sense, we’re all treasure hunters, digging somewhere hoping we’ll finally find what makes life feel whole.But what if the treasure we’re chasing isn’t where we think it is?In this message we explore Jesus’ powerful parables in Matthew 13 about a treasure hidden in a field and a pearl of great price—and why discovering the Kingdom of God changes everything. It’s not about religious duty or what we should do. It’s about the joy of finding the one treasure worth giving everything for: knowing Christ and being found in Him.If you’ve ever felt like there must be more to life than what you’ve found so far, this message is for you.

Why does God start so small?Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed—the smallest seed that eventually becomes a great tree.But in a world obsessed with quick results, many of us struggle to trust small beginnings.In this message we explore:• Why the Kingdom grows slowly but powerfully• How real transformation happens from the inside out• The story of a nervous Sunday school teacher named Edward Kimball

If the Kingdom of God has come near… why does evil still feel so near?In Matthew 13, Jesus tells a parable that answers one of our deepest questions. The field is mixed. The seed is good. There is an enemy. And yet — the Farmer is patient, wise, and just.This message explores why God’s patience is mercy, how justice still belongs to Him, and what it means to become “mature wheat” in a world full of weeds.The question isn’t, “Can you spot the weeds?”It’s, “Are you becoming mature wheat?”📖 Matthew 13:24–43#KingdomOfGod #WheatAmongWeeds #ParablesOfJesus

What happens when faith stays on the surface… but never takes root?In this message, Gospel of the Kingdom: Believe, Pastor Jonny explores Jesus’ parable of the soils and invites us to examine the condition of our hearts. Are we just hearing His words—or truly responding to them? Discover how Kingdom belief moves from information to transformation, from momentary excitement to lasting fruit.

What story are you living by? In this message, we explore how the story we believe shapes the life we live—and how Jesus invites us into a better one. Discover why the heart of Jesus’ message was the Kingdom of God, what repentance really means, and how surrender leads to freedom. If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious, or tired of carrying it all yourself, this message is for you.

Are you living driven by pressure… or marked by devotion? In this final message of Returning to the First Love, Pastor Jonny walks through Malachi 3:13–4:6 to uncover what’s really shaping our lives — performance, security, exhaustion, or reverence for God. Discover the difference between spiritual burnout and holy distinction, and how the fear of the Lord restores joy, clarity, and healing. If you’ve been faithful but weary, this message is for you.

Are you exhausted from trying to hold everything together? In Malachi 3, God doesn’t begin with demand—but with a declaration: “I do not change.” This message explores how we drift from first love by trying harder instead of trusting deeper, and how misplaced trust—especially around possessions—leads to fear and exhaustion. Discover how God’s invitation to bring and trust isn’t about pressure, but about freedom. Trust flows into freedom.

What do you do when life feels unfair?In Malachi, God responds to cries for justice—not with distance, but by coming close.Join us for a short, reflective message on refinement, grace, and the God who restores what He loves.

Faithfulness is rare in our world—but God has never failed. In this message from Malachi 2, we confront broken promises, compromised worship, and the deeper call to covenant faithfulness. This isn’t just about marriage or behavior—it’s about who God is, who we’re becoming, and how Jesus remains faithful where we have failed. If you’ve ever felt the tension between devotion and drift, this message is an invitation to return to first love and rediscover the God who never lets go.

What if the greatest threat to your spiritual life isn’t rebellion… but distraction?In this message from Malachi 1:6–2:9, guest speaker Jon Mayak exposes how spiritual drift happens—quietly, gradually, almost unnoticed—until our love for Jesus becomes “just another day at the beach.” Worship can continue. Church can stay busy. Theology can stay strong. But our hearts can be absent.This sermon is a wake-up call to return to first love: to move from leftovers to surrender, from convenience to devotion, and from familiarity to awe. Jesus isn’t after butterflies—He wants your faithfulness.If you’ve felt the fire grow cold, this message will help you remember, repent, and redo the things you did at first—and reorient your life around the beauty of Jesus.

At the start of a new year, we pause to do a spiritual heart check. Before vision, before effort, before striving — we return to love. In Malachi 1:1–5, God begins not with correction, but with a declaration: “I have loved you.” This message explores how disappointment, doubt, and spiritual performance slowly replace devotion — and how remembering God’s choosing love re-centers our hearts. If you’re weary from striving, questioning God’s care, or longing to reconnect with your first love, this message is for you!

Ever feel like you’re not enough? Like you’re under-qualified, behind spiritually, or just hoping no one discovers the real you?In Week 4 of our Love Comes Close series, we look at Mary’s encounter with Gabriel in Luke 1:26–38—a moment where grace broke into a story of inadequacy. God didn’t choose Mary because she was impressive. He renamed her. He redirected her future. And He still does the same today.If you need hope, identity, or a reminder that God isn’t finished with your story—this message is for you.

We’re living in a world starving for peace… and many of us are too. This Advent, discover how God meets us in the unraveling—just like He met Joseph. Before peace mends, it often disrupts. And sometimes the most loving thing God does is dismantle the peace we tried to build without Him.Come encounter Emmanuel, the God who steps into our chaos and becomes our peace.

Feeling forgotten? Waiting for a breakthrough?This Advent message shows how God steps into silence, speaks hope, and reminds us:“Do not be afraid; your prayers have been heard.” Plus—three powerful testimonies of God at work today.Watch and let hope rise again.

As we close our series on "The Way of Generosity" we look to the importance of practicing generosity to those in need and the freedom it brings to our hearts.

This week Pastor Craig unpacks one of Jesus’ most liberating truths: we don’t own anything — we steward everything.When we see our lives, resources, and opportunities as gifts entrusted by God, it transforms fear into freedom and greed into joyful generosity.Discover how shifting from ownership to stewardship opens the door to deeper peace, greater purpose, and a life aligned with God’s Kingdom.

We live in a world that whispers, “You need more.” More money. More success. More comfort. But what if the ache for more is quietly stealing our joy?In this message, Pastor Jonny exposes the subtle danger of greed—the lie that more will make us whole—and shows how Jesus offers a better way: the way of generosity and contentment. Discover how to be free from the endless chase for “enough” and find true peace in Christ’s sufficiency.

We’re all chasing happiness—but what if the good life isn’t found in getting more, but in giving more?In this message, The Way of Generosity – There Is More Joy in Giving (Matthew 6:19–24), Pastor Jonny explores Jesus’ upside-down vision of true joy. Discover how generosity frees us from the grip of fear, scarcity, and the endless pursuit of more—and opens us to a life of abundance and purpose.

We close out the "Houses of Prayer" series with a panel discussion, reflecting on personal experiences & practical applications in prayer.

If prayer is supposed to be the most natural conversation for a follower of Jesus, why does it so often feel like the hardest thing to do? In Romans 8, Paul names our struggle — “We don’t know what to pray for as we ought.” In this message, Pastor Jonny unpacks why prayer often feels cold, lifeless, or distracted—and how the Holy Spirit meets us right there in our weakness.

Do we trust Him with our prayers and in prayer? Are we able to be still whenever we face adversity and know that God is in control? Do we trust him enough to surrender control to him? Through Psalm 46 we'll learn how to keep trusting in prayer.

What do you do when God feels silent?Have you ever prayed again and again—yet nothing changes? In this message, Houses of Prayer – Persistence – Part 8, Pastor Jonny unpacks Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8) and what it means to keep praying when the breakthrough hasn’t come.

Why does Jesus end the Lord’s Prayer with evil instead of encouragement?“Deliver us from the evil one” feels like a strange conclusion—but it’s exactly where Jesus wants us to land.In this message, Houses of Prayer – Part 7: Deliver Us, Pastor Jonny unpacks why Jesus calls us to pray for protection, how our culture underestimates the reality of evil, and what it means to actually fight back.

In a culture that celebrates outrage, Jesus calls us to forgiveness. Only forgiveness breaks the cycle of bitterness and opens our hearts to love.

Prayer is not just about big heavenly priorities—it’s also about asking God for daily bread, the ordinary details of our lives. Yet many of us stop asking because of disappointment, fear, or self-protection. Jesus calls us back to bold, audacious asking—because asking is at the heart of relationship and trust.

This week, Guest speaker Lauren Gonzalez continues our Houses of Prayer series with “Your Kingdom Come”. Discover the story of God's kingdom through scripture and its role in our lives, bringing hope and transformation.

When was the last time you were wowed by God? In this message, we explore Jesus’ words “Hallowed be Your Name”and how recovering holy wonder can transform our prayers, reshape our lives, and even change the world.

What if prayer isn’t about earning God’s attention but enjoying His affection? In Houses of Prayer: Part 2 – Our Father, we discover why Jesus began the Lord’s Prayer not with “Judge” or “King,” but with the words “Our Father.” Prayer doesn’t start with duty—it begins with identity.

What if prayer isn’t about getting God to do what you want—but about learning to trust His heart? In this message, we discover why Jesus prayed and how knowing the Father changes everything.

Do you have promises still unclaimed? Dreams unfulfilled? In Unclaimed Property, discover how to awaken your faith, pursue your inheritance, and, like Caleb, see every giant in light of God’s greatness—overcoming fear and intimidation.

We’re closing out our Jesus & the Table series with a panel discussion on the barriers that keep us from inviting others—and how we can take our next steps in making room at our table.

We are a people on mission. One of the most powerful yet overlooked ways to live this mission is through meals. In this series, we’re learning how the table was central to Jesus’ ministry and how it can be in ours.
