What's the one thing that can produce lasting fruit in our parish ministries?If we want to see real growth in areas like attendance, vocations, and community life, we must focus on making and maturing disciples. There are no shortcuts—superficial fixes won't yield lasting change. True fruitfulness comes from healthy individuals, thriving ministries, and a clear vision rooted in mission. In this episode, I break it all down using the metaphor of a fruit tree—and show why discipleship is the key to everything.

Kyle Kauffman | May 11 2025 There are areas in our lives or the lives of others that may look or feel hopeless to us on the surface. We may struggle to believe that change is really possible or that things will ever get better. In Acts 12 we read of a time when things may have looked and felt hopeless to the early Christians in Jerusalem. We find God intervening in a powerful and amazing way to bring change. This story can help us in whatever areas we may struggle with hopelessness today by helping us to see that God hears and answers the prayers of his people. And it can help us to see that even when things may feel hopeless to us, God is still good and he can still be trusted.
In this powerful message on the Great Commission, Cressa Coldsmith examines what it truly means to "make disciples of all nations." She begins by establishing that this mission is backed by Christ's divine authority and explores how God's heart for all peoples runs throughout Scripture - from Abraham's call in Genesis to the multi-ethnic worship scene in Revelation 7.Cressa breaks down the discipleship process into three key components: going (engaging with people where they are), baptizing (bringing people into the family of faith), and teaching (walking alongside believers as they learn to obey Christ). She emphasizes that while not everyone is called to international missions, everyone has a vital role in fulfilling the Great Commission.The episode features special insights from Travis Helm about Global Reach's mission work across continents, and Cressa shares her own transformative experience serving in India and Bangladesh. She vulnerably discusses how God replaced her fears with confidence in Him, ultimately revealing that what we offer is simply the hope, freedom, and joy found in Jesus.This message will challenge and inspire you to discover your unique role in God's global rescue plan, reminding us all that we never go alone - Christ's presence goes with us to the very end of the age.Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

Series: Summer in the PsalmsScripture: Psalm 78May 4, 2025 - Worship Service
Kyle Kauffman | May 4 2025 God's mission of making disciples is global. We can see this in the book of Acts. The gospel is spreading all across the known world throughout this book. And sometimes we can become so focused on the Big Names in the book of Acts that we forget God's mission in Acts involved far more people than Peter, Paul, and Philip. Because God's mission is so BIG, it's easy for us to lose or forget what role the local church (and every member in the church) plays in this mission. In Acts 11:19-30 we get a good glimpse into how God intends to use the local church (and every member of the church) as part of the plan to make disciples. As we discover how God used the local church in Antioch to make a big difference, we might be encouraged to hope that God will use the local church in Paradise to make a big difference as well.

Keith Rohrer | Apr 27 2025 Jesus is not just for one group of people, one type of people, or one country of people. Jesus is the offered Savior for ALL people. In order to save all kinds of people from everywhere and anywhere, God uses people just like us. Regular people. But regular people all have flaws, some of which can be obstacles to God using us for this great work. If He first needs to do some Holy Spirit surgery in us, will it be welcomed, or refused? How we answer that question may depend on our answer to this one: How important is God's mission? And maybe also to this one: How important is it that God use me for His mission?
Kyle Kauffman Apr 20 2025It's easy to end up with a watered down, domesticated, tame version of Jesus. Whether that is because of our own assumptions about Jesus, all the different things we have heard about him, or the ways we have simply grown accustomed to Jesus over the years. Jesus can quickly just become a background part of our lives. But the actual Jesus, who rose from the dead and is alive today is anything but tame or domesticated. In Acts 9:1-40, we see several glimpses of who Jesus is and what he does in our lives today. And we find that just as Paul's life was turned upside down by truly coming to know who Jesus is, so too our lives can be transformed by a true understanding of who Jesus is.
Our nature is selfish, and if we don't directly choose behaviors that oppose our selfishness, we will become self-absorbed by default. If you find yourself in a season of disillusionment, criticalness, or confusion, consider if you've laid down the commission to make disciples. Even "Christians" who aren't about loving and making disciples can quickly default to a critical and unsettled disposition. It is blatant blindness to think you can grow in a love relationship with Jesus while you neglect those around you who are headed to an eternal Hell. In this message, Pastor Stephen teaches on the mandate every believer has to make disciples.
In this message, Pastor Stephen continues his teaching on the mandate every believer has to make disciples. Though our default is selfishness, we can change who we are by yielding in obedience to follow Jesus' model of selflessness.
Kyle Kauffman | Apr 13 2025 It's easier for us to speak about the advancement of the gospel then to actually steps in advancing the gospel. We can all too easily seek comfort in the truth that God will advance the gospel in this world without being challenged by the truth that God wants you to be a part of advancing the gospel in this world. God sends disciples to go out with the message of the gospel and be a part of the spread of the gospel. In Acts 8 we see God using Philip to advance the gospel to the Samaritans and an Ethiopian. As we look together at the story of this early disciple and how God used him to spread the gospel we should be challenged to ask whether our own lives are also being lived in seeking to spread the gospel in our world today.
April 13, 2025Pastor Matt KendrickMaking DisciplesLuke 5:1-11Jesus didn't want to do ministry all by Himself. That's why we see Him do something in this text today that quite literally changed the world. Jesus sought out some blue-collar, rough-around-the-edges guys to start His church with. God's not searching today, trying to find who is the most self-righteous or the most important. He's searching for people who will follow Him. Disciples are not mass-produced; they're handmade. Each of us has a role in this mission of making disciples. So who will you include in God's kingdom?A disciple of Jesus obeys Jesus. A disciple of Jesus makes disciples.A disciple of Jesus leaves everything to follow Jesus.Thank you for listening!For more info on Redemption City Church check out our website.

Bo Noonan sits down with Travis Aicklen, leader of Radiant Church and a key voice in Confluence California, to talk discipleship.

Kyle Kauffman | Apr 6th 2025The history of the church is bloody because the history of the church is full of suffering and persecution. While many people identify Stephen as the first martyr, in many ways he simply displays what was often true throughout the Old Testament: God's people will be persecuted even to the point of death. Jesus told his disciples to expect that people would treat them the same way they treated him. We should never forget that being a disciple of Jesus throughout history has often meant that you will face persecution. And while the story of Stephen should sober us who live in the West and know very little of this persecution, it should also fill us with hope and fortify us for the day when we may face more severe persecution for our faith. Because in the story of Stephen we find that God rules over the suffering of his saints, uses it to advance the gospel, and reveals the prize that no persecution can ever destroy.
Kyle Kauffman | Mar 30 2025Who we fear will shape how we live, what we say and don't say, and ultimately who we seek to serve and please. The Bible consistently warns against the fear of man in our lives and calls us instead to fear God. We know that fear of many can lead to all sorts of problems in our lives, but sometimes it can feel impossible to fear God instead of man. Fear of man is one of the greatest things that can get in the way of obeying God as we seek to be a part of his mission and make disciples. And on the flip side, fear of God can be one of the greatest sources of help and strength in obeying god. 5:1-42 gives a very powerful picture into the danger of fearing man and the freedom of fearing God. And along the way it gives us reasons why we should place our fear in God and not in man.

Jesus Followers Must Meet Jesus' Expectation of His “Great Commission” By Both “Going” and “Making Disciples” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus, in Luke 15:4-7, tells us, through His Parable of The Lost Sheep, the importance to God of our discipleship: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.". Immediately before His Ascension into Heaven Jesus told the Apostles and us today, in His Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, that as we go into our communities and into all parts of the world, we are to make disciples: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. We must begin, as followers of Jesus, to meet His fundamental expectation for us by both going and making disciples! TODAY'S PRAYER: Abba Father, I open my clenched fists to surrender everything you have given to me. Reestablish my identity in you — not in my family, my work, my accomplishments, or what others think of me. Cleanse the things in me that are not conformed to your will. By faith I unite my will to yours so that the likeness of Jesus Christ may be formed in me. In his name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 85). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Joel Wood | Mar 23 2025 We all have a desire to be bold and proclaim our faith in Jesus without fear or reservation. And yet we also all likely struggle with fear and can lack boldness many times in our lives. One of the reasons we struggle with fear is because we know that people will reject, resist, or even oppose the gospel as it is preached. This rejection, resistance, and opposition is often aimed at the lives of the disciples who proclaim Jesus and what he's done. But it is the same Jesus who is opposed by many who is able to fill his disciples with boldness. We get a glimpse into this in Acts 4:1-31 as the disciples face opposition for the first time. We can see not only the boldness they demonstrated but we can also see what might enable us to live with a similar type of boldness today.

Message from Brad Wheeler on March 23, 2025
One of the visions we have as a church is that we reproduce ourselves. The church isn't merely an organization, but as an organism - a living, breathing organism. And organisms, by definition, reproduce. As a church, we want to be able to reproduce other churches. As lifegroups, we should be reproducing new lifegroups. As worship leaders and pastors, we should be reproducing new leaders. As disciples, we should be making disciples, who make disciples who make disciples. So we want to reproduce ourselves. However, the ultimate goal isn't to get people to be like us. But as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Be imitators of me, as I imitate Christ”. Acts 11:19-20 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Kyle Kauffman | Mar 16 2025 We know that Jesus performed miracles when he was here on this earth, but does he still perform miracles today? In the book of Acts we find Jesus performing miracles through his disciples, but should we expect him to do the same thing today? While we may not see or experience the same miracles we see in the book of Acts, we believe Jesus is still at work in this world working wonders in and through his disciples. God continues to supply and use faith in Jesus Christ to accomplish great things through Jesus' disciples. And it's not ultimately the faith or the wonders that are meant to occupy our attention, but rather the One who is behind all the wonders, the one who our faith rests in, that should occupy our attention and worship. It's through faith in Jesus that we not only experience wonders in this world, but also eagerly anticipate a wonderful future no matter what may happen in this world.
The Great Commission calls believers to balance their relationship with God and active service. True discipleship involves remaining connected to Jesus while engaging in His mission to make disciples. This requires creating intentional space for God, removing distractions, and letting ministry flow from a genuine relationship with Him. Through the Holy Spirit's power, believers can overcome fear and effectively share their faith, remembering that obedience is the key focus while God handles the results.

Kyle Kauffman | Mar 9 2025If you ask someone to do something, hopeful you also give them to the tools they need to do it. When Jesus calls his followers to be his witnesses, he gives them the POWER they need to carry out this calling. More specifically he gives them the PERSON they need to carry out this calling. In Acts 2:1-41 we are told the story of the Holy Spirit's arrival at Pentecost and provided the impact He makes in the lives of the disciples and the 3000 people who came to faith in Jesus that day. That same POWER and PERSON that was given to the disciples 2000 years ago is present and available to every follower of Jesus today to empower our lives, embolden our witness, and transform hearts through the gospel.
238. Is The Burial Cloth Of Jesus Still With Us? The Shroud Of Turin. Did you know there is a famous contender for the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ? The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a crucified man. For centuries, it has been at the center of one of Christianity's most enduring mysteries. This ancient artifact has generated intense debate among scientists, historians, and religious scholars. While many have dismissed it as a medieval forgery, recent scientific evidence has begun to challenge this conclusion, gradually shifting the balance of scholarly opinion. The cloth displays remarkable characteristics that continue to defy simple explanation, including a negative image that predates photography and anatomical details consistent with Roman crucifixion practices. As new techniques emerge, researchers continue to uncover intriguing properties that keep the Shroud's authenticity an open question. Whether authentic relic or ingenious creation, the Shroud of Turin remains one of history's most fascinating and thoroughly studied religious artifacts. https://www.shroud.com/ The Book referenced - Shroud Encounter: Explore the World's Greatest Unsolved Mystery by Russ Brault Support the podcast with a coffee.... https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crisrogers To get a copy of The Bible Book By Book head here... https://www.eden.co.uk/christian-books/bible-study/bible-study-reference-books/bible-background/the-bible-book-by-book/ Rev Dr Cris Rogers is a church leader at allhallowsbow.org.uk and Director of Making Disciples.
