In this heartfelt Mother's Day message, Pastor Lawrence explores the profound impact of motherhood through the lens of 1 Thessalonians 2. Beginning with a special child dedication ceremony, the service acknowledges children as gifts from God and emphasizes the community's role in raising children to know Christ.The sermon examines three remarkable gifts that mothers provide: First, the gift of selfless love—a mother loves her child before birth and continues giving her very life to nurture them. Second, the gift of unceasing labor—working "night and day" without expectation of recognition or reward. Third, the gift of lasting influence—more than any other person, a mother shapes her child's character, faith, and future.Through touching personal stories and biblical insights, Pastor PL encourages listeners to recognize the "I Owe Yous" we all carry toward our mothers. The message concludes with a beautiful prayer of blessing for all mothers, acknowledging their irreplaceable role in God's design for families and communities.Whether you're celebrating your mother today or honoring her memory, this episode will inspire gratitude for the priceless gifts mothers give and the spiritual legacy they create.Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

What did you think of today's message?What if your greatest barriers are disguised as truths you tell yourself? Join us as we explore the Parable of the Talents with Colton, a lively junior from Benicia High School, who sets the tone with humor and honesty. His reading from Matthew 25:14-30 opens a gateway to understanding our own limitations through a spiritual lens. Pastor Lawrence then takes the stage, emphasizing the importance of our online ministry and inviting participation in technical roles, ultimately reminding us that God's love accepts us just as we are.We dive into the challenging task of leaving excuses behind and confront the stark difference between excuses and genuine reasons. Through a discussion rooted in faith, we unravel how our self-imposed limitations hinder our divine potential. Fear often masquerades as rationale, leading to missed opportunities. By examining the parable of the fearful servant who buried his talents, we face the uncomfortable truth of chances not taken and reflect on how divine teachings encourage us to push past these barriers.As we step into a new year filled with hope and purpose, this episode invites you to exchange old habits for new beginnings. With powerful imagery, such as trading a candlelight for a light bulb, we explore the transformative effect of embracing change. Witness the touching moment of a man's emotional breakthrough and let it inspire you to let go of excuses and welcome joy.

What did you think of today's message?What if the shepherds weren't who we always thought they were? Join us as we explore the deeper layers of the Christmas story, beginning with a heartfelt reading from Luke 2:8-20 by Manuel, Northgate's middle school youth leader. We journey through the miraculous birth of Jesus, the shepherds' awe-inspiring angelic encounter, and Pastor Lawrence's infectious excitement over American Canyon High School's trek to the state championship. Our Christmas Eve services promise to be a time of joyful community gathering, and we'll share how you can secure your seat for this special occasion.As we navigate through the unexpected tensions faced by Mary and Joseph, we draw connections to our own lives, highlighting how faith has guided people through unforeseen challenges across the ages. The Roman census, the journey to Bethlehem, and the shepherds' societal roles offer a backdrop for our discussion on finding one's place amid life's uncertainties. We challenge preconceived notions about shepherds, examining their historical significance and shining a light on their essential roles, both in religious rituals and the profound theological symbolism of Jesus as our "good shepherd."Finally, we reflect on the angelic announcement of unexpected good news to the shepherds, and how this message of hope and joy transcends societal barriers, offering grace and love to all. Encountering Jesus has the power to transform hearts, and we invite listeners to embrace this good news, moving beyond fear and loneliness. By delving into the genuine narrative of inclusivity, we encourage everyone to respond to the profound love and hope available through faith. Listen in as we celebrate the universal promise of grace and the transformative joy of the Christmas story.

Listen as Pastor Lawrence preaches from 1 Timothy 6:6-19.

In his speech on the “perpetuation of our political institutions,” Abraham Lincoln's warning about the dangers of internal division serves as a backdrop for a contemporary reflection on civility and morality in American politics. The speaker argues that the greatest threats to the nation are not external forces but the erosion of civility, morality, and democracy from within.Pastor Lawrence identifies three key issues dividing the nation: abortion, LGBTQ rights, and the impact of partisan media. The message emphasizes the need for Christians to engage in politics with discernment, think biblically, pray fervently, act redemptively, and maintain an optimistic outlook.1. **Discernment**: Christians should seek knowledge and understanding on critical moral issues, recognizing the complexities surrounding topics like abortion and LGBTQ rights.  2. **Biblical Thinking**: The message stresses the importance of interpreting culture through a biblical lens, allowing Scripture to inform political views and actions.3. **Fervent Prayer**: Believers are encouraged to pray for political leaders and the nation, advocating for a spiritual awakening and transformation.4. **Redemptive Action**: Christians should engage with others respectfully, avoiding slander and instead, advocating for dialogue and understanding.5. **Optimism**: Pastor Lawrence calls for a hopeful perspective, reminding the congregation that God is sovereign and encourages them to actively participate in shaping society while being a positive influence.The overarching message emphasizes that the church must be a force for civility and morality in an increasingly polarized political landscape, promoting the kingdom of God amid worldly challenges.Pastor Lawrence gives us five ways to prepare our hearts as we anticipate Election Day on November 5th. Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

What did you think of today's message?What happens when faith calls us beyond mere ritual and into the heart of justice and mercy? Abby Frank, an insightful eighth grader, sets the stage with a reading from Matthew 23:23-24, where Jesus unflinchingly critiques religious hypocrisy. Pastor Lawrence joins us to unpack this scripture, sharing stories from his own life—like the significance of childhood coloring contests—as a metaphor for the pursuit of genuine spirituality. Together, we explore where we might be "coloring outside the lines" in our faith, as Jesus calls us to focus on deeper values over surface-level actions.Join us as we challenge the conventional approach to charity and service, moving beyond the simplicity of tithing to embrace a more holistic commitment involving our time, talent, and treasure. The gospel, we argue, is a call to action—one that demands justice and service to society's most vulnerable: the poor, widows, immigrants, and orphans. Our discussions offer a roadmap to balancing the creation of cherished family memories with instilling the values of justice and compassion, reminding us that love for people must take precedence over material comforts.In our quest to prioritize justice within spiritual life, we evaluate how our financial priorities align with our spiritual and communal responsibilities. Through inspiring stories, like that of Bob Goff's high school transformation under the guidance of a dedicated mentor, we see faith in action as more than just adherence to rules. It is a commitment to living out the teachings of Jesus through active engagement and sacrificial love. Northgate's mission calls us to create faith communities that are deeply committed to justice, mercy, and faithfulness, urging us to respond with meaningful action and worship.

What did you think of today's message?What if your participation in the kingdom of heaven relied on your response to an invitation? Join us as Pastor Lawrence takes us on an insightful journey through Matthew 22, exploring the captivating parable of the wedding banquet. Through expository preaching, Larry breaks down this challenging parable, revealing how it illustrates the rejection of the kingdom of heaven and underscores the inclusivity of the gospel. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding the cultural and historical context to truly grasp these teachings, particularly the symbolic meanings within the narrative.In this sermon, we unpack the third parable Jesus told in the days leading up to his crucifixion. The parable of the wedding feast is set against the backdrop of a Jewish wedding, where the king (God) invites guests to celebrate his son (Jesus). Despite repeated invitations, the invited guests (the Jews) refuse to attend, highlighting their rejection of Jesus. This parable also foretells the broad invitation to all people, symbolizing the opening of God's kingdom to the Gentiles. Larry explains how this narrative reflects the persistent call of God and the varied responses from humanity, including indifference and outright hostility.Finally, we dive into the importance of "wedding clothes," representing the need for believers to embody faithfulness and good deeds as a mark of their new identity in Christ. Larry uses relatable anecdotes to highlight the struggle of daily submitting to God's authority, encouraging us to reflect on our own responses to God's invitation. As we wrap up, we focus on virtues like compassion, kindness, and love, understanding how these bind us together in perfect harmony. The episode concludes with a call to embrace our identity as God's chosen and respond with love and worship.
