Are you straining with everything you have against an immovable stone, wondering why nothing shifts? Pastor Joel unpacks Acts 18, where a battered, exhausted Paul—beaten, mocked, and at his wit's end—receives a transforming word from God: "Do not be afraid. Keep on speaking. I am with you." That single word reignited Paul for another year and a half. Like the boy who forgot to ask his father for help, we often forget whose strength we carry. Whether you're navigating your own quiet battles or the challenges this life brings to your front door, this message will renew your courage—don't miss it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Have you ever questioned God's decisions or struggled to understand why He shows grace to someone you think doesn't deserve it? Jonah did. As this series concludes, we discover that the story was never really about Jonah—or even the great fish. It's about a God whose wisdom, mercy, and compassion are greater than our own. While we're often tempted to make life about our comfort, reputation, or sense of justice, God invites us to trust His heart instead of demanding our own way. When we remember that the same grace extended to Nineveh has also been extended to us, we're challenged to replace resentment with compassion and to love people the way God loves them.

“The future of the church is ancient.” What a surprising thing to believe, but the reality is God has given us all we need to navigate even the thorniest of issues we encounter. In a new series, we'll be studying the oldest book in the Bible, Genesis. Genesis is the beginning of the lore, the founding myth, of all humanity, whether or not we, going about our day to day lives now, centuries removed from its stories and characters, are aware of it or not. The Bible begins by explaining how God has made the world to be the kind of place where humans can be who he made us to be. That's what Genesis 1 is all about. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks how the world was initially made to be that kind of place, and how it continues to be even now.

The bible tells us that Jesus slept through a storm. and that God rested on the seventh day. But why should I rest? Especially when I have a family to feed, and career goals I want to hit? Come listen to Pastor's Joel & Chase as we take a biblical look at rest and how vital it is to your life!

Pastor Joel preaches on the unchanging nature of God and the reality of hell.

In this message, Pastor Joel Sims shows how the god of this world is fighting to keep us dear spiritually, blind spiritually, and speaking only from the flesh. As we give our attention and affection to the Holy Spirit and to our spirits, we will see and hear from the Spirit and speak words from the Spirit.

Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? If so, are you acting like it? In this first message of our new series "The Helper", Pastor Joel Sims shows us from the scriptures the 3 baptisms. Baptism into Jesus, which is salvation; baptism into water, which is repentance, or leaving behind your sin and this world; and baptism in the Holy Spirit, giving you power to be a witness to Jesus.

It's one thing to return to God after we've gone our own way—it's another to faithfully follow where He leads next. Jonah reminds us that God's grace isn't just about forgiveness; it's about restoring us to the mission He created us for. Obedience often requires us to trust before we understand, to take the next step even when it's uncomfortable, costly, or uncertain. The good news is that the outcome doesn't depend on our ability but on God's power. Our role is simply to say "yes" to His message, walk in His plan, trust His strength, and surrender to His greater purpose, knowing He can accomplish far more through our faithful obedience than we could ever imagine.

When you think of God, do you think of Him as "Father"? In Pastor Joel Sims' message "What Are You in Faith For?", we see the Fatherhood of God, presented in Luke 15:20, desiring to welcome us, and impact our lives through His mercy, and bringing to pass His plans for us, through our faith in Him.

It seems fitting for us to end our series on things Christians believe that make us weird with a message about the end of the world. End times fever has been common among Christians, especially over the last 50 or so years. But what did Jesus tell us about our speculation about the when or what of his return? Why might he have worried we would get too focused on it? In this message, Pastor Joel shares some of his childhood trauma around the end times, his personal opinions on the return of Jesus and talks about why it does matter that we hold tight to the expectation that Jesus return but not at the expense of what Jesus told us to keep our primary focus on.

We all reach moments when we wonder if our failures have disqualified us from God's purpose. Jonah's story reminds us that while our choices may have lasting consequences, they never have to be the end of the story. God specializes in offering second chances to people who turn back to Him with humility, consistency, and renewed commitment. Our hope isn't found in our ability to fix ourselves but in God's faithfulness to restore us and send us back into the purpose He created us for. No matter where you've been, God isn't finished with you yet—your next step of obedience can become the beginning of a new chapter.

We live in a world of relentless noise — social media, deadlines, podcasts, expectations — and most of us never stop to ask why we still feel so empty. In this sermon from the "Living Like Jesus" series, Pastor Joel Hastings tackles the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude, and why Jesus practiced it more than almost anything else. Drawing from Luke 5:15–16, Pastor Joel explores what it means to strategically withdraw — not to escape life, but to be filled up by God so you can pour out to others. Silence isn't about clearing your mind. It's about clearing away every other voice so you can finally hear His. Here's a couple key takeaways - Silence isn't passive — it's a strategic withdrawal that gives you the strength to re-engage with life and ministry. - If every moment is full, don't be surprised when your soul feels empty — solitude is what makes space for God's voice. - You don't need to wait for a perfect quiet moment; start small, make it a habit, and turn your worries into prayers.

Fatherhood often comes with unseen pressures, quiet sacrifices, and the lingering question, “Am I doing enough?” In this Father's Day message, dads are reminded that the legacy they leave behind isn't found in possessions, achievements, or even perfect parenting—it's found in the faith, values, and example they pass to the next generation. Drawing from Joshua 4, Pastor Joel challenges fathers to intentionally leave “memorial stones” that point their children toward a passionate love for God, a commitment to His Word, compassion for the people God loves, and the courage to faithfully navigate a changing world. The goal isn't simply to raise successful children, but to raise future disciples who will influence their generation for Christ. Long after a father is gone, the question his children will ask is, “What did his life mean?” The greatest legacy is a life that clearly points them to Jesus.

Christians talk a lot about God's grace, but we less often talk about what is sometimes called the scandal of grace. When we really get the concept of grace, we're going to actually be offended. It steps on the toes of what we think is right or wrong. For people who are used at deserving or achieving all they get, grace can be a real stumbling block, and our ego can even convince us to say no to it. In this message, using 2 Kings 5 and the story of a highly competent, rich and well-connected general named Naaman who desperately was looking for a cure for his leprosy, Pastor Joel explains why grace challenges the deeply held beliefs we have about ourselves, and how in allowing it to offend us God is actually trying to heal us of a spiritual disease we all have. It's a spiritual leprosy, we could call it, using the story of Naaman as an allegory for our sinful arrogance. This is a message for everyone, but especially those who really struggle with perfectionism and achievement.

This might surprise you, but when Jesus talked about sex he said the conservative hardliners of his day actually didn't go far enough. For many in his day, as long as you jusrt had sex with your spouse, you were good. Jesus said that true righteousness went a lot deeper than that. Just being good at following rules doesn't produce the kind of goodness God's kingdom is meant to bring. Goodness in sex isn't tied to rules at all, even the golden rule of sex we have today: consent. Jesus would say the kinds of things we all know are wrong when it comes to sex (things like assault and rape) come from the heart, which means we have to go after lust itself. This is a problem for today's world. Lust is normal and celebrated, and we treat sex like it's ice cream: it's all good, there's no such thing as morally bad ice cream, and everyone just has their own specific tastes. We tell ourselves this view of sex is good and represents progress from the backwards ideas about sex people like Jesus had. But the question we never really ask is this: Is this making us better people? More loving people? Or even happier people? If we're really honest, the answer is no. And this brings us back to what Jesus says. In this message, Pastor Joel helps explain how the sexual revolution overpromised and underdelivered, and how by targeting lust itself Jesus gives what our craving for lust is really all about at the end of the day: real, true intimacy.

What if every hard season you've walked through was actually preparing you for the next one? In Deuteronomy 11, Pastor Joel Hastings brings the final message of Grace Point's Deuteronomy series — and the question Moses puts before Israel is the same one we face today: will you trust God's way, or take your own? Drawing from Israel's journey out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, Pastor Joel unpacks why God led his people into a land dependent on rain — not rivers — and what that has to do with your life right now. From the discipline of the wilderness to the picture of Joshua (whose name is the same as Jesus), this message lands on a simple but powerful truth: you never graduate from trusting God. You graduate into greater trust. Here's a couple key takeaways - Tomorrow's blessings are shaped by today's obedience — the choices you make now determine the fruit you see later. - You don't outgrow the wilderness, you grow through it — each season of hardship builds the faith muscles you'll need for the next. - It was never about what you could do — Moses couldn't get Israel into the Promised Land, and the law can't get you to God. Only Jesus (the greater Joshua) can lead you across.

Perhaps the defining question of our age is who am I? We are asking what it means to be human now in the age of AI, and we are all asking questions like what gives me value? What is my purpose? Why am I worthy of love, of being known? How can I help bless the world? What will make me feel fulfilled, at peace, truly happy? God thinks answering this question is incredibly important. So important that he put the answer right on page 1 of our Bibles, in the book of Genesis. The answer he gives there to us is that we are image bearers who are made to rule and reign over the world alongside him. What does it mean to reign? Perhaps a more helpful word is responsibility. We are made to exercise responsibility for ‘what we have say over', our ‘domain.' What we have say over includes many things, like our bodies, our time, what we think about, what we steward, our relationships, our churches, and more. But there's a massive problem: Sin. Sin takes our responsibility from us and reigns through us when we try to domineer other people's domains or neglect our own. Both are chronic issues among people, things that if we're honest we do more than we'd care to admit. But God has not left us hanging. Jesus's domain is humans themselves: to take them and make them into the kind of people who can do this, by putting their identity in him. In this timely message, Pastor Joel breaks it all down for us.

In this episode, Pastor Joel and guest Kangmin Lee discuss Elon Musk's political evolution, his engagement with Lee's posts, and why they see Musk as an important pro–Western civilization ally despite not being a Christian. They argue that control of AI, Neuralink, and major platforms like X will be inevitable and should be led by someone sympathetic to Christian and Western values rather than figures like Sam Altman. They critique “purity spirals” against Musk, contrast corporate and state incentives that make AI a “train with no brakes,” and explore Christian concepts of faith (knowledge, assent, trust), obedience, and properly ordered loves, applying them to compassion, national identity, immigration, and mass deportations. They close by urging Musk to confess “Christ is Lord.”Christ Is King: America After Trump — November 12–14, 2026 in Dallas, Texas. Tickets are limited.
