Life Point Sunday Gathering | Andrew Garcia | One Hit Wonder | Faith in a Frosted Flake by Life Point SA
In this week's sermon we dive deep into the story of Simon of Cyrene - a man who gets just one verse in Scripture but whose brief encounter with Jesus changed everything. Pastor Stephen Mizell explores how sometimes we're chosen to carry something sacred when we least expect it, and how these divine interruptions can transform our lives and draw us closer to Christ. The difference between carrying our own crosses and being forced to carry others' How proximity to Jesus through suffering changes our perspective Why some of life's greatest lessons come through inconvenient interruptions The generational impact of one man's unexpected encounter with Christ Practical insights for when you're carrying burdens you didn't choose Key Scripture: Mark 15:21-32, Romans 16:13 Discussion Questions: Have you ever been "volun-told" to carry someone else's burden? How did it change you? What crosses are you carrying right now that you didn't sign up for? How has God used unexpected challenges to give you a new perspective? About Our Church: Open Door Church is committed to reaching Northeastern North Carolina with the good news of Jesus Christ. We are an independent, non-affiliated fellowship with a love of Jesus that connects us to a larger purpose in life. www.visitopendoor.com

Let Go & Take Hold What if the thing holding you back isn't just your past—but your comfort with a present counterfeit? In this message, Pastor Aaron unpacks the story of the lame beggar in Acts 3 and challenges us to see ourselves as the one in need of healing. From brokenness to breakthrough, this week's message explores what it means to move beyond the outskirts of purpose, pivot your perspective, and take hold of the real thing Jesus offers—Himself. Whether you've settled for less, gotten stuck in shame, or simply need a fresh start, this is your invitation to let go... and take hold. Acts 3:1-10, Psalm 24:3-6, Isaiah 61:1-3, Acts 3:19 Discussion topics Read Acts 3:1–10. What stands out to you most about the lame beggar's encounter with Peter and John? How might you relate to his story today? Pastor Aaron talked about the danger of settling for a counterfeit. What are some examples of “counterfeits” people commonly settle for? Why do you think they're so tempting? The lame man had to let go of what he was expecting in order to take hold of what God had for him. What might God be asking you to let go of right now? In what ways have you experienced healing, purpose, or a shift in perspective through Jesus? How could sharing that story encourage someone else in your group or life?

There are songs that move culture. And then there is “Shower” by Becky G—a song that boldly asks, what if brushing your teeth could be a personality?Let's be clear: “Shower” isn't so much a pop song as it is a bubblegum-scented middle school diary entry set to a ringtone. Released in 2014, a simpler time when Vine was still a thing and eyebrows were still recovering from the trauma of the 2000s, “Shower” attempts to convince us that love is best expressed through aggressive hygiene metaphors. “You light me up inside like the Fourth of July,” Becky coos, presumably while standing in a CVS aisle surrounded by travel-sized shampoos.The production is so sanitized it makes a hospital operating room look like a dive bar. The ukulele-plucked beat is pure algorithmic optimism, as if Spotify's “Teens Who Just Discovered Love” playlist came to life and immediately asked to speak to the manager. And yet, buried beneath the artificial citrus zest and Instagram-filtered romance, is a strangely catchy hook that lodges in your brain like glitter in a carpet.Lyrically, “Shower” is a rollercoaster of unrelenting innocence. Becky G doesn't want to party. She doesn't want to rebel. She wants to sing in the shower. That's it. That's the climax. It's like listening to a musical episode of The Disney Channel Presents: Human Emotions 101.To her credit, Becky G delivers the vocals with all the conviction of someone holding a bottle of Herbal Essences and performing to an imaginary arena crowd of loofahs. And maybe that's the point. Maybe “Shower” isn't for us critics, sitting in our vintage Joy Division shirts sipping cold brew brewed with our own self-loathing. Maybe it's for the 13-year-olds who genuinely believe their crush will text back because the universe “totally just gave them a sign.”Still, “Shower” is the audio equivalent of a cupcake with a face on it—cloying, confusingly marketable, and somehow sold in 37 countries.Best listened to: while painting your nails with glitter polish and pretending your hairbrush is a Grammy. Sounds like: a Target commercial trying to sell you “feelings.” Final thought: Becky G has range. Unfortunately, this one's set to “bubble bath.”DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

What if the thing that makes you feel most "different" is exactly what God wants to use to bring freedom to others? In this episode of the Open Door Sermon Podcast, Pastor Steven Mizell continues our "One Hit Wonders" series by diving into the fascinating story of Ehud - a left-handed man who became one of Israel's most unlikely heroes. In ancient times, being left-handed wasn't just unusual - it was considered suspicious, unclean, and weak. The very word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for "left." But what the world saw as a limitation, God saw as an opportunity for deliverance. Join us as we explore how Ehud's story reveals three powerful truths: What happens when God's presence leaves our lives How desperation can become the doorway to deliverance Why your greatest weakness might be your most dangerous weapon against the enemy Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, Pastor Steven shows us that God doesn't always choose the obvious - He chooses the obedient. Your differences, your wounds, even your perceived disabilities could be the very things God uses to bring 80 years of peace to those around you. Key Scripture: Judges 3:12-30

What are You Doing? Life isn't just about actions, but purpose. God has a unique plan for each of us that goes beyond daily tasks. Your "what" - the visible actions of your life - matters less than your "why" - the divine motivation behind those actions. Consider Joseph, who could have abandoned Mary, or Martha, who missed Jesus' true message while serving. God invites us to look deeper, to understand that our experiences aren't random, but strategic steps in His larger story. Are you living your daily life aligned with God's purpose? Navigation Church helps you discover your next step in God's transformative journey. Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 10:38-42 Discussion topics Motivation Reflection: What specific actions in your life do you feel are aligned with God's purpose, and how do you discern the "why" behind those actions? Can you share an experience where your motivation shifted from a “what” to a “why”? Joseph's Choices: Reflecting on Joseph's story, how do you cope with societal expectations or pressures when they conflict with God's calling in your life? Can you share a time you chose God's plan over personal or societal assumptions? Martha and Mary Dynamics: In what areas of your life do you find yourself more like Martha, focusing on tasks rather than being present with God? How can you cultivate an attitude of being versus doing in your daily routine? God's Plan and Our Choices: How do you interpret the balance between God's divine plan and your free will? Have there been moments in your life where you recognized specific actions that led to unexpected blessings or outcomes aligned with God's purpose?

HR2 It's Finally Friday Fun Theme: Name Your Favorite One-Hit Wonders - Songs. 7-18-25 by John Rush
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Silentó – “Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” TurnUp Records / Capitol – 2015 1.6By the time Silentó commands us to “watch me whip,” a full seven seconds into the track, you already know you've boarded a train bound for post-ironic oblivion. What follows is not so much a song as it is an unrelenting instructional video, powered by algorithmic momentum and the spiritual energy of every PTA meeting gone wrong.“Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” is a cultural time capsule from the year when viral dance moves replaced actual communication. The song does not evolve, it loops — a sonic ouroboros eating its own tail while flossing. Silentó doesn't rap so much as list. The whip. The nae nae. The stanky leg. The Superman. Each phrase arrives with the emotional depth of a CAPTCHA test. You are not here to feel. You are here to comply.Production-wise, the beat is sparse and synthetic, sounding like a default loop from a software demo titled Trap for Toddlers. It's relentlessly clean and completely unbothered by things like tension, resolution, or dynamics. You get the sense it could play forever, looping in the background of a minor YouTube channel dedicated to slime tutorials.But the real feat here is how the track weaponized meme culture for mass consumption. This was not music for listening. It was music for doing, specifically, for middle school talent shows, wedding receptions, and nightmare-inducing brand activations. It's pop music at its most transactional: perform the motion, feel the endorphins, scroll on.And yet, its success was undeniable. Silentó, a teenager at the time, effectively cracked the code to going viral — and in doing so, accidentally delivered a song so devoid of soul it somehow became the center of attention for millions. It was hypnotic in the way fire drills are: repetitive, disorienting, and strangely hard to ignore.There's a version of this story where Silentó is a misunderstood genius, crafting minimalist social commentary on performative culture. This is not that version.Best track: [Silence] RIYL: Being yelled at by a dance instructor through a megaphone at a kid's birthday party.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

Welcome to the opening message of our new "One Hit Wonders" series, where we dive deep into the untold stories of obscure biblical figures who appear briefly but carry life-changing lessons. In this challenging message, Pastor Stephen Mizell explores the tragic yet inspiring story of Jephthah's daughter from Judges 11 - a nameless young woman whose father's rash vow changed everything. This isn't a comfortable story with clean edges, but it reveals powerful truths about obedience, worship, and the weight of our words. In This Episode You'll Discover: Why making emotional promises to God can be dangerous How unnecessary vows can lead to devastating consequences The difference between obedience from weakness vs. obedience from worship Why we must consider what obedience is worth, not just what it costs How every biblical story ultimately points to Jesus Christ Featured Scripture: Judges 11:29-40 Whether you're struggling with keeping promises, wrestling with obedience, or want to dive deeper into lesser-known biblical accounts, this message will challenge and encourage your faith journey.

Running the Race What if your greatest legacy isn't about how loud you start—but how faithfully you finish? In this week's message, Dr. Patti Amsden explores what it means to run your race with heaven in mind and purpose in hand. Drawing from Paul's final words to Timothy, she challenges us to live like the heroes of faith—those who laid hold of eternal realities and brought them into earthly timelines. We're reminded that we are not just called to endure life—we are called to transform it. With one hand on heaven and one on earth, we can live with purpose, be transformed by the Spirit, and make manifest the promises of God in our generation. This isn't just about crossing the finish line—it's about running in such a way that heaven touches earth through you. 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Hebrews 12:1-2 Discussion topics Read 2 Timothy 4:6-8 -What stands out to you about Paul's view of his life as a “finished race”? How do you think Paul maintained endurance through hardship? Discuss - Dr. Patti said we are meant to “bring heaven into our timeline.”– What does that look like in your everyday life? Romans 8:26 - Who are some “witnesses” in your life that inspire you to keep running your race? What are some “weights” or sins that can slow down our spiritual race? Read Hebrews 12:1-2 - What does it look like to live by faith when your circumstances haven't changed? What would it mean for you to “rejoice in the Lord” this week, even when the “fig tree does not bud”? Personal Reflection & Action: What's one thing you'll do this week to actively pursue your race—whether in prayer, obedience, relationships, or discipline?

Kelly Osbourne: “Papa Don't Preach” Epic Records, 2002 Pitchfork Rating: 3.7In a move that can only be described as “aggressively Y2K,” Kelly Osbourne—daughter of Ozzy, wearer of neon hair, and survivor of MTV's The Osbournes—emerged from the reality-TV fog of war to drop her cover of Madonna's “Papa Don't Preach.” A bold choice, given that Madonna's version is iconic, controversial, and, crucially, good. Kelly's version? It exists.Let's be clear: this is not so much a cover as it is a hostage situation. The song has been taken, tied to a chair in a Hot Topic changing room, and forced to watch early-2000s nu-metal music videos on loop. Guitars are over-distorted. The vocals sound like they were recorded on a Motorola Razr during a family argument. The production is less “punk rebellion” and more “GarageBand preset titled ‘Mall Goth.'”Osbourne's voice, while not the worst thing to ever emerge from a celebrity lineage (looking at you, The Return of Bruno), delivers the lyrics with all the emotional depth of a mildly annoyed barista. When she pleads, “I'm keeping my baby,” it sounds less like defiance and more like someone refusing to return a damaged Forever 21 item without a receipt.That said, there's a perverse charm to it. Like a can of expired Monster Energy found under a car seat, it's a little gross, vaguely threatening, and very much a product of its time. There's even something punk in the audacity of it all—less “fight the system” and more “I dared my label to let me do this and they blinked.”Ultimately, Kelly Osbourne's “Papa Don't Preach” is the kind of cover that reminds you of how great the original was, mainly because halfway through, you'll probably stop and listen to Madonna's instead. And maybe that's the point. Or maybe it's just a vibe. A crunchy, chaotic, eyeliner-smeared vibe.Best Track: The 1986 original RIYL: Watching VH1 at 2 am, burning your ex's hoodie, riding in the backseat of a PT Cruiser.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

Through a Savior and a Story What if your story is the very thing God wants to use to help someone else find freedom? In this message, Pastor Aaron unpacks Revelation 12:11 and reminds us that we overcome not just by what Jesus has done, but by sharing what He's done and is still doing in our lives. Through student testimonies and personal reflection, you'll be challenged to see your story as a living witness to God's faithfulness—and an invitation for others to know Him too. Revelation 12:11 Discussion topics 1. Revelation 12:11 says we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. What does it mean to “overcome” in your life right now—and how has Jesus helped you do that? Why do you think sharing your story is so powerful, even if it feels small or unfinished? What holds people back from sharing their faith story? Think about a time someone else's testimony impacted your faith. How did it encourage you? How could your story do the same for someone else? “Even on your worst day, the blood still speaks and your story still matters.” How can that truth help you be more confident in sharing your faith?

Matchbox Twenty – "Unwell" Atlantic; 2003 3.2By: Dax Mumberson, Pitchfork ContributorThere are songs that define an era, and then there's “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty—a song that limply gestured at defining something before retreating back into a GAP sweater of its own design. Released in 2003, but spiritually 1998, “Unwell” is a murky broth of acoustic sincerity, radio-safe angst, and the sonic equivalent of a lukewarm Sprite left on the counter at your divorced dad's condo.Frontman Rob Thomas—America's reigning monarch of bland competence—delivers a performance that screams, “I'm sad, but like, in a relatable, post-TRL way.” His voice trembles with a vague vulnerability that makes you think, “This man has probably stared out a rainy window, but only during a sponsored VH1 special.” The lyrics read like therapy Mad Libs: “I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell” is the kind of line that makes your aunt nod solemnly and say, “That's deep,” while clipping coupons for gluten-free Oreos.Musically, the track is as adventurous as a mayonnaise sandwich. A plodding acoustic guitar trudges along next to a drumbeat that sounds like it was generated by a coffee machine having an existential crisis. The whole thing feels like it was designed by a focus group of 36-year-olds who just discovered feelings and are very tired.It's not that “Unwell” is bad in the way that, say, an active crime scene is bad—it's more that it's aggressively beige. It is the sonic equivalent of that one IKEA lamp you forget you own until it catches fire. It's a musical shrug. A warm sigh in cargo shorts. A song that says, “Hey, we might not be okay, but at least we're doing it in khaki.”And yet, somehow, this song slaps. But only if you're in a dentist's chair, high on nitrous, pondering every life choice that brought you to this point.TL;DR: If adult contemporary were a medical condition, “Unwell” would be the symptom, the diagnosis, and the follow-up email confirming your next appointment.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

More Than Conquerors Have you ever experienced gaps in your life between the reality you're living VERSUS the promises you see in the Bible? Romans 8 is loaded with great promises such as, “If Christ is for us, who can be against us?” and “We are more than conquerors…” and yet, our reality doesn't seem to match up with that identity? This week, we continue in our series, ONE HIT WONDERS, and we examine the gap — the gap between the reality of our day-in-day-out lives versus where we feel God is calling us to live as Christians. What we discover is that the gap is because we have an incomplete view of the power of Grace and how it should be at work in our lives, not merely as a “saving” Grace that rescues us but also as an “empowering” Grace that is designed by God to help us elevate our lives, our relationships, our situations, and ultimately the world around us as we manifest more and more of the Kingdom of God on the Earth. Romans 8 Discussion topics Where are you experiencing static in your life? (ie: where do you keep asking God to send “Descending” Grace to “rescue you”?) Relationships? Finances? Job? Health? Addictions? Failures? Etc.? In those areas, what are some of the typical things you are saying to yourself? (ie: what are your low-frequency scripts?) Some examples: – – “My kids are always so frustrating!” – “My spouse is always so __________ [[fill in the blank]]” – “Why is there never enough money?” – “Well, my Mom/Dad was always sick, so I guess I just got their genes…” – “I guess this is just what getting old looks like…” – “The government always _________ [[fill in the blank]]” – “The world is going to hell-in-a-handbasket…” – “It is what it is…” What is ONE SCRIPT you can rewrite this week to speak Empowering Grace grounded in your Identity of Life in the Spirit? ACTION ITEM: READ ROMANS 8 with Empowering Grace in mind. Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

In a world that moves fast and values quick fixes, Proverbs offers timeless wisdom for everyday life. These short, powerful sayings aren't just catchy—they're God's guidance for wise living. From relationships to decisions, money to character, Proverbs gives us truths that stick. Like a hit song that plays on repeat, these verses shape how we live, work, and love. This summer, we'll explore how ancient wisdom continues to resonate today and why trusting God's way leads to a life that endures.
In the Waiting Have you ever found yourself in a waiting room—physically or spiritually? At first, you lean in with hope. Then comes frustration, comparison, and passivity. The prophet Habakkuk knew that tension. His raw cry—“How long, Lord, must I call for help?”—echoes in every season of delay. In this message, we unpack how God doesn't silence our questions—He meets us in them. Habakkuk reminds us: real transformation starts when we stop performing and start trusting. Whether you're leaning forward or slumped in silence, this message calls you to wait well—with faith, conviction, and hope. Habakkuk Discussion topics Icebreaker - Have you ever experienced a "spiritual waiting room"? What did it feel like—anticipation, frustration, doubt, resignation? In what ways do you relate to the imagery of leaning forward, sitting back, looking around, or slipping into a passive posture? Read Habakkuk 1:2-4 - What stood out to you about Habakkuk's honesty in his prayer to God? How do you typically respond when it seems like God is silent in the face of injustice or suffering? Living in a Christian Nation - With such a high percentage of elected officials identifying as Christian, why do you think society still reflects so many of the problems Habakkuk described in his time? What does it mean for us personally to “not ignore the Torah”—or to return to God's truth in our cultural moment? NOTE- This is not a time to debate politics or get off on personal political agendas. Read Habakkuk 2:4 & 3:17-18 - What does it look like to live by faith when your circumstances haven't changed? What would it mean for you to “rejoice in the Lord” this week, even when the “fig tree does not bud”? Personal Reflection & Action: Which posture do you find yourself in today—leaning forward, sitting back, looking around, or giving up? What's one small, faithful action you can take this week to choose trust over passivity?
