Pastor Kyle teaches from Colossians 3:22–4:6, showing how our work and our witness go hand in hand.

We make decisions to do things all the time. Some of them conscious and some unconscious. Some of them have good results and some of them yield “not-so-good” results. Making good decisions is a learned process and often hinges on our priorities at that time. Today, Pastor Kyle explores some decisions Abram and his nephew, Lot, have made and the results thereof. One key thought from this is: “Will the decision I'm about to make enhance my relationship with God?” This is a question that Christians should consider in their decision making. Do you?

We can get really good at making our Christianity look genuine when we're actually just faking it. When it comes to faith, a knockoff is dangerous. Open a Bible to Galatians 6:11-18 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

Sunday Morning Message - "But God..."In this message from September 7, Pastor Kyle continues our Ephesians series with a message titled, "But God..." Two simple words that change everything. We were dead in our sins, following the world, the devil, and our own desires. BUT GOD, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, made us alive in Christ!Remember...we can't earn salvation - it's a gift of God's grace. Our biggest life change is moving from spiritually dead to alive in Christ. We're more flawed than we dare believe, yet more loved than we ever hoped - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8

A church's vision is often based upon what it values. What do we value as a church? What do we long for? Or what do we want to be like? Hear what Pastor Kyle has to say about the “what” and “why” Grace Point Church's vision.

It is often good to plan ahead, but we must realize that there are things that are beyond our control, or planning. When things go wrong (not the way we hoped) how do we respond?

Listen as Pastor Kyle digs into this topic and how we can apply it to our lives.

In this sermon, Don't Be Fooled Again, Paul's heartfelt plea in Galatians 4:8–22 calls believers to guard against trading the freedom found in Christ for the slavery of man-made religion. Drawing from the cosmic backdrop of Scripture—from Babel to the cross—Pastor Kyle shows how false teaching often comes cloaked in religious respectability, yet leads away from grace. Like a spiritual father, Paul warns, weeps, and labors until “Christ is formed” in his hearers.
