Will you still follow Jesus when life gets hard and faith demands more than you expected?In John 6, thousands followed Jesus for the food, the miracles, and the excitement. But when His teaching became difficult and called for wholehearted commitment, many walked away. Jesus then turned to His twelve disciples and asked, “Do you want to go away too?”In this message from The Greatest Questions of the New Testament, Pastor Phil challenges us to examine why we follow Jesus. Are we seeking only what He can give us, or are we committed to Him for who He is?---Message Notes:I.

Can you really know that you're saved?In Week 2 of The Greatest Questions of the New Testament, Pastor Phil explores one of the most important questions ever asked:"What must I do to be saved?"Walking through the story of the Philippian jailer in Acts 16, this message explains the biblical pattern of salvation: conviction, conversion, and confirmation. Pastor Phil shows that salvation is more than repeating a prayer or following religious traditions.

Everyone faces impossible situations. Broken relationships. Financial pressure. Anxiety. Health concerns.

Was America founded on faith... or fortune?In this special message, we trace the surprising spiritual history of America through two very different settlements: Jamestown and Plymouth. One pursued wealth and self-interest. The other sought to honor God above all else. Those two visions have shaped our nation's story ever since.From the Great Awakenings to the Civil War, this sermon explores how seasons of revival transformed communities, influenced culture, and changed the course of American history. More importantly, it challenges us to ask where true renewal begins.The hope for America isn't found in politics or policies. It begins when God's people seek Him personally.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

Fatherhood in America is under attack, but the greatest danger may not be absent fathers. It may be fathers who are present physically, yet disconnected spiritually and emotionally.In this powerful message from Proverbs 22, Pastor Phil Griffin examines the growing fatherhood crisis and challenges men to pursue something more valuable than success, wealth, or status: a Godly legacy.What will your children remember most about you?

Is there still hope for the church in a culture that seems to be moving further away from God?In this message, Pastor Phil Griffin addresses the sobering reality of declining church attendance, growing biblical illiteracy, and a nation that has largely abandoned its Christian foundations.

Life can leave you wondering if things will ever get better. Maybe you're carrying a burden nobody else can see. Maybe you're facing disappointment, uncertainty, grief, or a season that feels impossible to understand.In this message, Pastor Phil Griffin walks through 1 Peter 1 and shows why biblical hope is different from wishful thinking.

In a world filled with bad news, uncertainty, fear, and constant noise, it’s easy to feel like hope is disappearing. But what if the real issue isn’t the darkness around us… it’s where we’ve placed our hope?In “The Reason for Hope,” Pastor Phil walks through Psalm 146 and uncovers why followers of Jesus can live with real hope, not someday in eternity, but right now, in the middle of the mess.If you’ve been discouraged, overwhelmed, anxious about the future, or wondering where God is in all of it… this message is for you.Because as long as Jesus is on the throne, nothing is truly hopeless.---Sermon Notes:I.

What does it really mean when Jesus says we must receive the Kingdom like a child?In this message, Childlike Faith, we look at what Jesus teaches in Mark 10 and discover the qualities of faith that often come naturally to children... curiosity, passion, boldness, and complete dependence.Through powerful illustrations and biblical truth, this sermon challenges us to stop relying on our own strength and start trusting God like a child trusts a loving father.No matter how far you've wandered, the Father is still watching, still waiting, and still ready to run toward you.---Sermon Notes:1.

Why do we serve?In Week 3 of our series “Saved to Serve,” we tackle a powerful and honest question: Are we serving for ourselves… or for God’s glory?In this message, “Serving for God’s Glory,” we walk through 1 Peter 4:10–11 and discover that serving isn’t about recognition, comfort, or personal gain. It’s about making Jesus known and lifting His name above our own.We’re reminded that:• God has placed a unique gift inside of you — and He intends to use it• Serving isn’t limited to easy seasons — it happens in every circumstance• We are called to steward the grace of God and share it with others• True impact happens when we rely on God’s strength, not our own• The goal of everything we do is simple: that God would be glorifiedThis message will challenge you to shift your focus:From building your name to making His name greatFrom comfort to callingFrom convenience to obedienceYou’ll also be encouraged with practical ways to live this out daily:Serve whenever you can.Serve wherever you can.Serve whoever you can.Be willing to do whatever it takes.This isn’t just about church activity, it’s about a lifestyle of saying “yes” to God and reflecting Jesus to the world around you.---Sermon Notes:I.

What does it really mean to serve like Jesus?In Week 2 of our series “Saved to Serve,” Pastor Phil dives into one of the most challenging and transformative truths of the Christian life: following Jesus means laying down our pride, checking our motives, and embracing a life of humble service.Through Matthew 20:20-28, we see a powerful contrast between the way the world defines greatness and the way Jesus does. While the world chases position, recognition, and status, Jesus calls us to something radically different: a life marked by humility, sacrifice, and putting others first.In this message, we explore four key truths:• Evaluate your motives - why you serve matters as much as what you do• Expect difficulty - serving Jesus isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it• Embrace humility - greatness in God’s Kingdom looks like servanthood• Follow the example of Jesus - He came not to be served, but to serveThis sermon is both a challenge and an invitation:Are we truly living lives that reflect Jesus… or are we just saying we follow Him?If you’ve ever wrestled with your purpose, your calling, or what it looks like to live out your faith in a real and practical way, this message is for you.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

We are not called to just grow deep in our faith. We are called to put that faith into action.In Week 1 of the Saved to Serve series, Pastor Phil teaches from Ephesians 4:7-16 and challenges us to move beyond spiritual maturity that stays inward focused. God’s design is not for believers to simply grow in knowledge, but to use what He has given us to serve and build up others.This message makes it clear that going deep and going wide are not separate callings. They are connected. As we grow in Christ, we are equipped to step into our role in the body, use our gifts, and make an impact in the lives of others.You were not saved to stay comfortable. You were saved to serve.---Sermon Notes:I. Notice what God gives His children. 1) The gift of grace 2) The grace of gifts A) He references an Old Testament promise B) He reveals the New Testament proofII. Notice what God gives His Church.III. Notice what Christians should give Christ 1) We must understand that the church is not a building, it is believers. 2) We must move beyond "serve us" to service. 3) We must prepare for combat, not comfort.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

What if the greatest truth of Easter is not just that Jesus died and rose again, but why He did it?In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Phil walks through Romans 5:6–11 and reminds us of a life changing reality: Jesus did not wait for us to get it together before He loved us. He loved us at our worst.Scripture describes our true condition without Christ. We were helpless, ungodly, sinners, and even enemies of God. Yet in the middle of that brokenness, God responded with something we could never earn or deserve. He sent His Son to die in our place.At the center of it all is a simple but overwhelming truth:God’s love is not based on how good we are, but on how great He is.---Sermon Notes:I. Our undeniable problem 1) Our spiritual conditionII. God's unconditional solution 1) He did something we would never do 2) He did something we could never doIII. God's ultimate purpose 1) Jesus gave His life for us 2) Jesus gave His life to us---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

Communion is not just a tradition. It is one of the most sacred moments in the life of a believer.In this powerful message, Pastor Phil walks through 1 Corinthians 11:23–29 and reminds us that gathering around the Lord’s Table is far more than a routine act. It is a deeply personal and spiritual encounter where God meets with His people.This sermon highlights three important truths about communion:A reminder of our realityWe are reminded of who we were without Christ. Depraved, guilty, and completely dependent on His grace. Communion brings us back to the cross and the price that was paid for our salvation.A responsibility to proclaimEvery time we take communion, we proclaim the death of Jesus until He comes. It is a call to share our story and make known what Christ has done in our lives.A call to examine our heartsScripture challenges us to approach the table with humility, sensitivity to sin, and a willingness to be searched by God. Communion is a moment to confess, be cleansed, and draw near to Him.This message is a powerful reminder to never let communion become routine, but to approach it with reverence, gratitude, and a heart that is fully surrendered.---Sermon Notes:I. He reminds us of the reality of who we are without Him. 1) A depraved sinner 2) Guilty of the death of Christ (1 Peter 2:24) 3) Utterly dependent on the Grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9)II. He reminds us of the responsibility we have as believers.III. He reminds us of the importance of remembering the sacred nature of the supper. 1) Be sensitive to personal sin 2) Be willing to search your heart---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

What happens when a believer truly stops trying to control their own life and fully submits to the leadership of the Holy Spirit?In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Romans 8:12–17 and shows us that following Christ is not just about how we begin, but how we live and finish. When we surrender to the Holy Spirit, something powerful begins to take place inside of us.This sermon highlights three life changing realities that God produces in those who submit to Him:A new focusWe move away from pursuing the flesh and begin pursuing the Spirit, allowing God to reshape our desires and daily decisions.A new familyThrough the Spirit, we are adopted as sons and daughters of God, able to call Him “Abba, Father,” and live in the security of belonging to Him.A new futureAs children of God, we are heirs with Christ, already walking in the inheritance of salvation, peace, and eternal life.This message is both a challenge and an invitation to stop striving in your own strength and start living under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, who lives within every believer.---Sermon Notes:I. He gives us a new focus1) We abandon the pursuit of the flesh2) We adopt the pursuit of the SpiritII. He gives us a new familyIII. He gives us a new future---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

How God Responds When We Give | Pastor PhilGiving is often seen as a financial issue, but Scripture reveals that it is first a heart issue. In this message, Pastor Phil explores what the Bible teaches about generosity and how God responds when His people give faithfully.Walking through Malachi 3:8–12, this sermon challenges believers to see giving not as an obligation but as an act of trust and worship. God calls His people to honor Him with what they have, and He promises to respond with faithfulness, provision, and blessing according to His perfect will.This message looks at the deeper purpose behind generosity. Giving reflects our trust in God as our provider, our gratitude for what He has already done, and our commitment to participate in the work He is doing in the world.When we give with the right heart, we are reminded that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Our generosity becomes an opportunity to experience His faithfulness in new ways.---Sermon Notes:I. The principle of giving 1) Notice the reality 2) Notice the request 3) Notice the response 4) Notice the rewardII. The procedure of giving 1) Our giving should be punctual 2) Our giving should be personal 3) Our giving should be proportionalIII.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to trust God even when the path in front of us feels impossible. In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Joshua 1:1–9, where Joshua is called to lead the nation of Israel after the death of Moses and to guide them across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Faced with an overwhelming responsibility and an impossible situation, God gives Joshua a clear command that is repeated throughout the passage: “Be strong and courageous.”This sermon explores what happens when believers step forward in courage and trust the promises of God. Through Joshua’s example, we are reminded that courage begins with submitting to God’s purposes, trusting His promises, standing on His commands, and making His Word the foundation of our lives. When we choose to trust God with the “Jordans” in front of us, the things that seem impossible, God responds with His presence, His provision, and His promises that never fail.---Sermon Notes:I. We must be willing to submit to God's purposes. 1) Submission begins with preparation. 2) Submission requires perseverance.II. We must be willing to trust in God's promises. 1) Of His provision 2) Of His presenceIII. We must be willing to stand on God's precepts.IV.

Fear is something every person faces. It can come from finances, relationships, health, uncertainty, or the future. In this message, Pastor Phil Griffin reminds us that fear is not new, and we are not alone in it.Rooted in Isaiah 41:10, this sermon walks through God’s clear and compassionate response to fear. God does not minimize our struggles, but He speaks directly into them with promises of His presence, His power, and His provision. When fear threatens to overwhelm us, God reminds us that He is with us, He is our God, and He will strengthen, help, and uphold us.This message highlights four truths we can anchor our lives to when fear arises:God is presentGod is personalGod is powerfulGod is our providerRather than calling us to ignore fear, Scripture calls us to trust the One who stands with us in the middle of it. Fear loses its grip when we remember who God is and whose we are.---Sermon Notes:I. We can live without fear because God is present.II. We can live without fear because God is personal.III. We can live without fear because God is powerful.IV.

What does God do when His people face persecution?In this message, How God Responds When We Are Persecuted, we walk through Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:10–12 and discover a powerful truth that often goes unspoken: persecution is not an accident in the Christian life. It is expected, it is purposeful, and it is never wasted. Jesus teaches that following Him will bring opposition, but He also promises blessing, growth, and eternal reward for those who remain faithful. This sermon explores how God uses persecution to strengthen our faith, deepen our trust, and remind us that this world is not our final home.---Sermon Notes:I. He reminds us that persecution should be expected. 1) Persecution is proof of genuine salvation. 2) Persecution is part of the normal Christian life.

Failure is something every believer knows all too well. In this honest and hope filled message, Pastor Phil reminds us that the question is not if we fail God, but how God responds when we do.Centered primarily in John 21, this sermon walks through the life of Peter, one of the most relatable figures in Scripture. From bold confidence to painful denial, Peter’s failure could have marked the end of his story. Instead, it became the place where God’s grace, patience, and restoring love were put on full display. Through passages including Luke 22:62, Mark 16:7, and Acts 2:22–24, we see how God responds to failure. He calls us. He comes after us when we pull away. He challenges our hearts. And He restores us to purpose, not by shaming us, but by reminding us of who we belong to and what He created us to do.---Sermon Notes:I. He called for himII. He came to him 1) Notice our tendency 2) Notice Jesus' tenacityIII.

In a culture where commitment is often conditional or temporary, Jesus offers a far deeper call. In this message, Pastor Phil challenges us to examine what true commitment to Christ really looks like.Based in Luke 9:23-24, this sermon walks through Jesus’ invitation to discipleship. Following Christ requires more than agreement or good intentions. It calls for denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and faithfully following Him. Commitment to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a daily surrender that shapes every part of our lives.This message reminds us that when we commit ourselves fully to Christ, God responds with transformation, purpose, and eternal life. True commitment leads us away from self centered living and toward a life that is anchored in obedience and trust.---Sermon Notes:I. There must be a desireII. There must be a denialIII. There must be a deathIV. There must be a new direction 1) If your only focus is on your own life, you will lose it. 2) If you are only concerned with your own success, you will lose your soul. 3) If you are ashamed of Christ, He will be ashamed of you. 4) If you submit your life to Christ, He will save you.---Follow The Church at Grace Point on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechurchatgracepointInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechurchatgracepoint/Located in Cleveland, TN, The Church at Grace Point is a warm church family where you can come as you are to discover peace, purpose, provision, and passion through God’s grace.Whether you're seeking answers, fellowship, or simply a place to belong, we invite you to join us as we walk together in faith and embrace the life God has called us to live!

Worry can weigh heavily on our hearts and minds, especially in seasons of uncertainty, suffering, or spiritual pressure. In this message, we are reminded that God does not dismiss our worries. He invites us to bring them to Him.Based in 1 Peter 5:6-10, this sermon walks through God’s response to anxious hearts. We are called to humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand, cast our cares on Him because He cares for us, remain alert in spiritual battle, and stand firm in our faith. Scripture reminds us that suffering is temporary, but God’s work in us is purposeful.Rather than offering empty reassurance, this message points us to a God who strengthens, restores, confirms, and establishes His people as they trust Him.“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7If you are carrying worry, fear, or weariness, this message will encourage you to place those burdens where they belong and rest in the faithful care of God.---Sermon Notes:I.

Life is not an accident, a mistake, or a matter of convenience, it is a sacred gift from God. In this special Sanctity of Life Sunday message, we are reminded of how God responds to life: with purpose, value, compassion, and unwavering care.This sermon calls us to see life the way God sees it, formed by His hands, known before birth, and precious in His sight.

Prayer is not a routine — it is a privilege.In this powerful message, we are reminded that prayer is talking to God who listens and responds because He loves us. Drawing from James 5, this sermon reveals how God responds when His people pray with humility, confession, unity, and fervent faith. We learn that prayer is not about perfect words or religious performance, but about hearts that are clean before God and right with one another — hearts that believe God can still move mountains, bring healing, restore the weary, and revive what has grown dry.---Sermon Notes:I. Notice the pattern to replicate.1) Prayer for restoration 2) Prayer for reconciliation II. Notice the promise to receive. III.

The incarnation is not just a Christmas idea — it is the foundation of our faith.
