Podcast by HighPoint Church Atlanta
Have you made a decision to follow Jesus? He sets you free! But that's just the beginning. God is preparing you and His church for mission. Discover how your presence matters more than your think, and why the team isn't whole without YOU!
God has invited you to engage in mission! But God doesn't just throw you into the deep end of the pool—he PREPARES you to accomplish great things. He uses seasons of preparation to shape your heart for the mission ahead. What is He building IN you as he begins to work THROUGH you? Don't skip the prep work God wants to do in your life. Start right here with this week's message.
Let's be honest--we all have doubts. Whether it's the weather forecast, the latest movie living up to the hype, or your own prayers--doubt creeps in. But what if doubt isn't a sign of weak faith... but an invitation to deeper faith? In this message from John 20:24-29, we dive into the store of "Doubting Thomas"--a disciple often remembered for his skepticism, but rarely celebrated for his honesty, courage, and ultimate declaration of faith. ✅What if Jesus doesn't shame your doubts--but meets you in them? ✅What if doubt could lead to your most powerful moment of belief? ✅What if you've misunderstood Thomas...just like you've misunderstood your own season of questioning?
When life feels chaotic--like everything's shaking and you're standing in the middle of the wreckage--not knowing where to start or how to move forward... you're not alone. In this message, we meet the disciples after the resurrection--confused, ashamed, and unsure of what comes next. So what do they do? They do what we all do. Revert to what's comfortable and familiar. They go fishing. But in their moment of failure and emptiness, Jesus shows up. In that moment of zero progress, of spiritual and emotional exhaustion, Jesus offers what they truly need: Himself. If you've been trying to fix your life, heal your pain, or carry your burdens on your own--this message is for you. Jesus is still calling and still waiting to restore you.
Relationships are constantly getting redefined, aren't they? Nothing could be more true of your relationship with God--Jesus redefines everything! But he also redefines our relationships with one another, bringing clarity and focus to WHO we are and HOW we live. In this sermon, discover how Jesus transforms followers into family--and stop believing the lies that cause so much difficulty in our relationships.
What if you've been living with blurry vision and didn't even know it? In this powerful message, we explore how moments of clarity--like Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Jesus--can shift everything. Discover how the resurrection not only brings things into focus but redefines who you are: not just a follower of Christ, but family.
Ever felt like you just couldn't catch your breath--physically, emotionally, spiritually? Sin is breathtaking, leaving us out of air, and gasping for life. But the good news is this: Jesus didn't just breathe his last on the cross--that wasn't the end of the story. He breathed again in the tomb, and so can we. Need a spiritual second wind? Like fresh breath in your lungs? Listen to this week's message on resurrection and experience hope!
*Note - there is audio interference until the 11:15 mark. Audio is normal for the duration after. Jesus rides into Jerusalem--not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. The crowd lays down their most precious possessions, declaring him King in the only way they know how. But not everyone welcomes him. In this message, we trace the road to Jerusalem (The Triumphal Entry), the tension of the moment, and what it really means to call Jesus our king.
Ever feel like everyone else is catching a break while you're stuck waiting? Or maybe you've been the one celebrating a victory while others looked on with resentment. Jesus told a story about two lost sons--one who ran away and one who stayed home but never truly knew his father's heart. Jesus' parable isn't just about rebellion--it's about self-righteousness, bitterness, and what it means to really know the father.
Have you ever been confused about God? Maybe you read a passage in the Bible and thought, "I don't get it?" Maybe you've sat in a church service or heard someone talk about faith, and deep down you wondered, "Is any of this really for me?" Do you have questions? Struggling to make sense of faith? You're not alone! Listen to this week's message of the Ethiopian eunuch and also the powerful testimony of Javier, a professional soccer player who found faith in Jesus.
Are you facing loss, discouragement, or setbacks? Do you feel like life has left you in ruins? Do you wonder if God still has a purpose for you? Life has a way of bringing ruin, but God is in the business of restoration! In the powerful message, we dive into the story of Ruth--a woman who faced loss, uncertainty, and hardship, yet experienced God's redeeming grace. You will also hear a powerful testimony of God bringing restoration to a life that felt ruined. The enemy desires to ruin you, but God desires to restore you!
Have you ever felt trapped—like something had a hold on you so strong you couldn't break free? Addiction, fear, anxiety, regret—whatever it is, you don't have to stay bound. In Mark 5, Jesus meets a man completely overtaken by darkness, but in a single encounter, everything changes. No chain is too strong, no past too broken—Jesus can always set you free. Listen to this message and discover the power of Jesus to turn torment into triumph. Don't let anything hold you back. Your freedom starts today.
Feeling the heat of life's trials? Maybe you're facing financial struggles, family issues, or a test of faith. But no matter how intense the fire gets, you're never alone- God is with you in the fire. Join us as we dive into the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and discover how God's presence transforms every trial into a testimony!
Like He did with Moses, God has a purpose for you- and He works in the day-to-day details of your life to bring it to pass. Our limitations are nothing compared to God's purpose for us.
What are you skeptical about? The news? Politicians? The latest diet fad? Does this skepticism cross over into church? The Bible? Are we missing out on God because our hearts have become hardened by skepticism? Find out how to let God open our hearts and make a difference in our lives as we conclude "The Cross" series.
Everyone is a fan of something. We buy sports merch. We wear the t-shirt. Go to the concert. Pay for the experience. Do all the things. But as we know, being a fan is not the same as actually getting on the field and playing the game. Or being part of the band. Fans can only participate so much. The same pattern affects our relationship with God. It's easy to become a fan of faith... we know the songs, wear the t-shirt, do all the things, etc... but never actually get in the game. We are fans, but not followers. But if we want to experience the life Jesus speaks of in the scriptures, we must learn what it means to pick up our cross and truly follow him. How do we move from being fans to followers? Listen to this week's message to find out.
We have all experienced "reversals" in our lives. From opinions on movies to the ref's call at the sports game, life is filled with change. But what about faith? Why do we currently see a trend of people abandoning faith, changing their mind, and turning back? What are people wrestling with? Is it really a faith issue? What about you? Listen to this week's message and find out.
It's good to ask questions. God has made you to be curious. But you need more than a curious heart... you need a courageous heart. What does it look like to take a step of faith and put what you believe into action? How is God asking you to be courageous in 2025?
Have you ever heard a song without actually listening to its lyrics? What about a conversation? Ever heard without truly listening? The reality is that we all have a tendency to hear with our ears but ignore with our hearts. Tragically, we do the same in our relationship with God. How can we overcome such a "hearing" gap? Listen to this week's message and discover how.
What if God's greatest works are unfolding in the places and through the people we least expect? Listen to this week's message as we explore the profound truths in Matthew 2, Luke 1, and other powerful Scriptures that reveal God's heart for the unexpected. From a humble town like Bethlehem to an ordinary girl in Nazareth, the Christmas story reminds us that God chooses the overlooked to fulfill His extraordinary purposes. #ChristmasStory #Unexpected #GodsPlan #FaithJourney #Bethlehem #Nazareth #ChristianFaith

Consider Jesus - Throw Off Your Sin by HighPoint Church Atlanta
God is still changing lives! In this particular message, Pastor Andy celebrates the power of God changing lives. The story of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection isn't just a fairy tale. It's life changing truth and people still choose to respond to it through baptism. Romans 6:1-4-What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Find yourself up against the storms of life? Not sure what to do? Where to turn? Ever feel like God is asleep in the middle of your difficult season? You're not alone.
