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.

Courage is a Christian virtue. To be courageous is to risk suffering for the glory of God and the good of others. Pastor Joel preaches on where we get courage to live into the adventure God calls us into.

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 message from the Onward series, “Wisdom From the Wilderness”, Pastor Joel explores how seasons of transition and uncertainty can feel like being “stuck in the ice” — unsure how to move forward and tempted to go backward. Drawing from Israel's wilderness journey, he reminds us that God often uses difficult seasons not to punish us, but to teach, shape, and prepare us for what's next. The message challenges both individuals and the church to move forward in faith, trust God's direction, and embrace the future He is preparing.

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.

In this message, Pastor Joel Rainey challenges us to let go of the comfort of the familiar and trust God with the future He is calling us into. Looking at Israel's journey through the Red Sea in Exodus 14, reminds us that real freedom requires courage, faith, and a willingness to move forward instead of looking back. Whether in our personal lives or as a church, God often calls us beyond what feels safe so we can fully experience His purpose and power.

Albert Einstein once said you don't understand something well enough until you can explain it simply. Something similar could be said about the gospel: you may not understand the good news of Jesus well enough if you don't see the necessity of unity and reconciliation. The good news is all about reconciliation: Jesus bringing us back from our rebellion and sin to God through the cross. The disciple, pastor, and writer in the early church Paul knew this, and he puts it this way: we have been given a ministry of reconciliation. What might it look like to take this seriously? In this message, Pastor Joel tells the story of Philemon and Onesimus, a slave and master whom Paul worked to reconcile across even the terrible chasm of slavery. For Paul, we find, reconciliation means hard work, and has to flow first out of Christlike character, which Paul describes in detail in another letter and which Pastor Joel practically walks through to close the message.

Happy Mother's Day! In this special message, Pastor Joel honors mothers through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings chapter 4, who made a room for Elisha—but ultimately made room for God in her life, becoming the place where His promises, presence, and miracles unfolded. From the promise of a son she never asked for to that son being raised back to life, we see how every major encounter she had with God traced back to the room she made for Him.
