2021-02-07: Hebrews: Christ>Anything Else - Wk 2. "But We See Jesus"

Chapter 2 of Hebrews is such a powerful passage of scripture. We see the position that God original designed for mankind ... but then the need we have of Jesus redeeming that very position for us. Join us as we experience a powerful and stirring review of what Heb 2 tells us Jesus did. "But we see Jesus".

Jan 24, 2021: "Lead Me To The Rock".

Psa 61 gives us a look at someone who feels a million miles away from God, but who recognizes that God can place them "on a rock" that is higher than they can access on their own ... or that their enemies can access. Lord, place us in that place that allows us to rise above.

Jan 17, 2021: Life Is Not A Choice.

Today we celebrated Sanctity of Life Sunday by focusing on the reality that life is not a "choice"; rather, it is a gift from God. This reality will shape how we view EVERY life ... pre-born and already born. Join us as we dive into scripture to understand God's gift of life.

June 14, 2020: "All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind".

We live in a world where people are wrapped up in things they are passionate about. But do we properly understand how we are supposed to be loving God, and what it means to do so with our heart, soul, strength and mind? What does that look like in our world of social media? How do we move past being "informed" to being "transformed"? Those things and more are what we dive into today.

May 17, 2020: "The Keys To Being Set Free".

Keys are used both to unlock and to lock things. Jesus tells us that He gives us several keys that I believe many Christ-followers fail to recognize they have. Today we address some powerful thoughts about the authority Christ gives us regarding: death, hell, the grave, and His kingdom.

Feb 23, 2020: "What It Looks Like To Love Like Jesus".

Our Anniston community has spent the last two weeks embroiled in controversy regarding a possible homeless shelter, and then the possibility of the CDP sheltering victims from a cruise ship identified as infected with COVID. It has blown up social media, with hostility, fear, anger, and genuine concern on full display. In the midst of all this we find an opportunity to ask the faith community a question: What does it look like to love like Jesus? You see, Christ-followers should be approaching situations like these from God's perspective, regardless of what the best answer turns out to be. It's far less about which solution becomes the end result ... and it is much more about how we demonstrate the love and compassion of God in the process. Today we take a look at what the Bible says about how we should get our "starting point" of perspective when it comes to those in less fortunate situations than ourselves ... whether financially, emotionally, relationally, or any other way.

Jan 19, 2020: "When I Don't Know What To Do".

Life sometimes presents things that put us into situations where we honestly don't know what to do. Yes...we know the right spiritual answers, but our feelings are yelling "I don't know what to do" because we want to SOLVE it! 2 Kings 19 and 20 give us examples of what Hezekiah did when he was faced with two of these situations. Join us as we learn from these examples. And stick around to the end for a little bit of unexpected worship blending a song based on Psalm 3 with some spontaneous worship as well.

Jan 12, 2020: "Even So" - John 11:21-22

There may be things in your life that seem dead: dreams, hopes, relationships, jobs, future, etc. But we can learn a powerful truth from a statement Martha made in John 11 after her brother, Lazarus, had died. Yes...God could have stopped something from occurring...but "even now". Join us for a powerful reminder of the eternal power God has that does not stop when things "die" in our lives.

June 6, 2019: "Holy Spirit - 2".

Many people don't understand the gifts in 1 Cor 12, haven't studied them, or maybe have been "scared away" from them because of what they have been taught. Today we dive into just looking at what scripture says about them. And we end by praying "God, whatever you have for me, I want to receive."

June 2, 2019: "Filled With The Holy Spirit: Part 1"

Being filled with the Holy Spirit. What does it mean? What does Scripture say? What are the different belief systems within Christianity about the gifts of the Spirit and whether they are in operation today? This is part 1 in a short series that takes a look at these questions and more. While this will certainly not be the "end of the discussion" for people who stand on one side of the debate or the other, this IS a sincere and studied effort to share what we believe God's Word says and how that applies to Unity Point.
