Faith and Technology

May 17, 2013

Do you realize that the things that bring us media content shape us as much as the thing itself? There are so many things in this world that shape us and our relationships and our faith. Some times just recognizing them changes everything. This series we will name them and look to redeem them, rather than let them hinder our walk with Jesus. Cell Phones have the power to keep us connected to one another, regardless of where we are at in the world. This is a beautiful thing. However if we are [...]

A Life that Works

April 2, 2013

One of our old GracePoint alum’s who lives in Salem Oregon now hinted that her church up there was doing a cool series on the book of Proverbs and told me to check it out and see if GracePoint could do one too. They titled it “A Life that Works’ and I really liked it. I loved the practicality of the series and how the pastor wanted to stress how to live between Sundays.

Lent: Season of Preparation

February 13, 2013

This is a time when the Church sets its eyes toward Easter. There is a sense of anticipation and reflection when the cross comes into focus.

Easter is the most attended day of church throughout the whole year, but it also signifies the beginning of the [...]

January 24, 2013

I love talking about sex with people, secretly because I think its kind of funny how freaked out people get when they talk about it.I know that's bad, but true confessions. This series will be different than many others when talking about sex. I admit up front that I am not giving near enough time to this topic and will need to come back to it. I also admit that I do not have all the answers, to which many of you reading this will say "Duh." My goal is to talk about some positives views of sex for [...]

Bedtime Stories

January 4, 2013

What can we possibly learn from children’s stories like: Noah’s Ark, Samson and Delilah, and Daniel and the Lion’s Den? Many of the people at GracePoint did not grow up in a church setting, and have never even heard the real version of the stories.  Many of us have only heard a watered down version. Believe it or not, Noah’s Ark is not just a decorating design for a children’s nursery. It works, don’t get me wrong, but God has a little more for us there. There are themes of obedience, [...]
