Arbor Pointe Church

One of the ways that we live out our faith is by INVITING people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Andrew gave us a simple and clear example of this. Will we do the same thing?

As the message for this special laity-led service, Vicki Nicholson provided a great message on the meaning behind the membership vows. HOW will YOU support God's work in the church by your prayers, presence gifts, service, and witness?

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says that disciples are supposed to be "salt" and "light." And, if we're faithful in doing this, we can help to transform the world around us. Will we be faithful??

Matthew 28 - Jesus says, "Go into all the world and make disciples.."  What does it mean to be a disciple?  Disciples believe AND follow Christ!

In the final week of The Story, Pastor Brad challenges us to join our voices - and our lives - with the chorus that circles God's throne in heaven. What will your "rebel song" sound like?

Paul gives clear instruction and encouragement on living a transformed life in Ephesians 4-5. Will we have the courage to "put off the old self" and "put on the new"?

In this week of The Story, we are reminded that God didn't solely rely on "spiritual superhero" like Paul to build the church. God's work relied on normal people who committed their gifts to God. How will you offer yourself for God's work?

It's Easter morning! Jesus is risen! Pastor Brad revisits the "old old story" and encourages us to find new life.

Luke 9 tells us that Jesus "resolutely set out" for Jerusalem, knowing that a cross awaited him. His view of the cross set the course for his steps. Will it do the same for us? Will you look AT the cross, or TO the cross?

Jesus poses a key question to Peter: "Who do you say that I am?" We are faced with the same question. What will our answer be?

Jesus was the master teacher, and he often taught about the Kingdom of God. What does he teach in the story of the Good Samaritan, and are we willing to cross the road for others?

In this week of The Story, Pastor Brad reviews Jesus' baptism and reflects on the meaning of our own baptisms. Is it any coincidence that Jesus was immediately tempted after our baptism? Should we expect anything less? And will we stand on the solid words of God when we are tempted? Remember your baptism...and be thankful!

This week of The Story brings us to Luke 2 and the birth of Christ - the one who literally brings hope to life. "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light." The light has come...the challenge for us is to open the dark parts of our lives to His light.

In the final week in the Old Testament, Natalee brings the story of Nehemiah and how the people of Israel rebuilt. Will we use our brokenness to accomplish God's work?

Esther brings us a message of God's providence through human choices and activity. But will we pause to remember how God has provided for us?

In Week 19 of The Story, the people are allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. They are going home...but they're going home with a mission and purpose. Will we focus our lives on building holy things?

In the book of Daniel, we see some inspiring accounts of people standing strong in their faith, relying on God even when they are strangers in a strange land.  Will we be willing to show the same kind of faith?

In Week 16 of The Story, we hear the story of Hezekiah and the words of Isaiah. Do we clearly see those words and promises fulfilled in Christ?

Week 15 of The Story focuses on the role of the Old Testament prophets. They were God's bullhorns who proclaimed 1) God's sovereignty; 2) Human disobedience; and 3) The reality of consequences.  Will we have ears to hear??

Based on Mary's song in Luke, Pastor Brad asks us to consider the source of our own hope.  For Mary, it was a remembrance of the mighty things that God had already done. "He has done great things." What has he done for you?

In the 3rd week of Advent, Natalee Hamby challenges us to CHOOSE JOY - and to be prepared to be changed by it.

In the first week of Advent, Pastor Brad refers to Psalm 80. Will we begin the Advent season by asking God to restore one of the most important things we can have: peace? (The message included the video at https://youtu.be/CBHoZ0DLuao.)

What is the nature of wisdom, and do we ask for it?  This is the topic of Week 13 of The Story.

David is described as a "man after God's own heart." He is (made) after God's heart, and he is (chasing) after God's heart.  Are we? How we react when confronted with our sin helps to answer that question.

Men look at external appearances, but God looks at the heart.  The story of David brings this to light!  What potential has God placed in you that is just waiting to be revealed - to bring hope, love, and compassion?
