Bible Messages from the church services at Lightpoint Church
True grit requires leadership and humility. Those with true grit are always alert to the devil’s temptations and resist them. Whatever circumstances come our way, we can be sure that God will provide us the strength, comfort if we put our trust in Him.
As we move forward in our walk with Him, we are called to glorify Him through serving. We are called to minister to one another, in love, as good stewards to honor Him.
Even during times of suffering, we have hope in the One who suffered for us.
We are called to be honorable, gracious and loving, following Christ’s example when we respond to authority. Listen in to here what 1 Peter 2:13-25 says about how we are to respond to authority.
Being BOLD lies within our every decision. The choices we make dictate our outcomes. If we want to live BOLDLY and follow Jesus BOLDLY then we will trust in Him. Good times or bad our choices must reflect our faith. Trust, decisiveness, and focus. This is what it takes to BOLDLY make choices that draw us to live like Jesus.
Waiting is one of the most difficult things we have to do in life. It’s in our waiting that God is changing us and molding us for what he has in store! Are you Bold enough to wait on God’s move?
Ever heard that little voice in the back of your mind tell you that you’ll fail? Maybe it says something is going to end awful? Learn how to silence it! Take action to get confidence to live BOLDLY from God and not from the little voice that is our inner coward.
Boldness is not always looking on the offense and pushing forward. Sometimes boldness is about strengthening within. Who do you let speak into your life? Who do you allow to build you up or bring you down? Who do you allow to provide much needed perspective to motivate your thinking? Do they seek your best or theirs? Do they love you and love God? Let’s see!
In everyone’s life there are times where they will be faced with two decisions; to move or stay put. Moving requires courage, heart, and boldness. We rise to the occasion with the drive to move outweighs the fear of staying put. The answer is to not give up, to press on, to take a bold risk. Jump in and see how boldness takes shape in you!
Have a grudge with God? Where did it start? How did it come about? All the while, know that God desires intimacy, He is enough, and He has never stopped calling for you! A grudge is not the end.
Unforgiveness is toxic and leaves us heavy. Sometimes it takes a great faith to forgive. This starts with us! Let’s work through our own issues, let’s be honest, and let’s pray for those who hurt us. It starts with faith.
Holding on to a grudge never helps you out. The grudge only eats at you and keeps you from fulfilling your purpose. It’s time to say “I’m over it!” Let’s recognize that our calling is great and practice filling in the gap together!

A simple Christmas is all about the simple invite. God’s story was filled with ups and downs, however, invitations to be a part of it went out the Shepards and the wise men at Jesus’ birth. God provided them a way and He will do the same for us. He will answer our fears and end our searching.
Keep it simple this Christmas. It is important that in a world that complexities come far too often, that we remember the power of influence. Who we influence and what we influence matters. Plain and simple.
Christmas is a big time of year. Tis the season for family, but can sometimes be matched by the hustle and bustle of life. Take some time to prepare your heart for what Christ has in store for you on this simple Christmas.
