Welcome back to 2 Samuel. This week, Pastor Nathan gives us further context for where we're starting out in 2 Samuel, looking at when it was written, who was the intended audience, and why it was written to them. We learn that just as the Israelites were a people waiting for their promised messianic king, we are a people waiting for King Jesus to return – what can WE learn about trusting God's promises as we wait for our King's return?

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." 39 But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth.
How do you know when God is speaking to you? And what keeps you from hearing His voice?In this message, Pastor Nathan Bentley continues through Hebrews 10 and into the themes of faith and the better covenant, exploring what it means to have confidence before God, draw near to His presence, hold fast to our confession, and live by faith.Because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we don't approach God from a place of condemnation or distance. We have confidence to enter the presence of God through the blood of Jesus.But learning to walk with God also means learning to recognize His voice.Pastor Nathan walks through practical ways to develop that relationship with the Holy Spirit and identifies several obstacles that can interfere with hearing and responding to God—including fear, unforgiveness, lack of surrender, distrust, and idols.You'll also learn why hearing God's voice isn't simply about receiving information. It's about relationship, surrender, obedience, and learning to recognize the One who is speaking.“You have heard the voice of God before. You just didn't know it.”This message challenges us to stop treating God like a genie we only approach when we need something and instead develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit where we continually listen, respond, and obey.For more on LifePoint Church go to lifepointaz.com Check out our merch store https://lifepointaz-shop.fourthwall.comFind all our links in one easy spot https://linktr.ee/lifepointaz Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lifepointaz Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lifepointchurchaz/

Pastor Nathan continues the sermon series in the book of Matthew on Sunday morning, August 30, 2026. (Matthew 8:1-4)
Join us this week for the eighth message in our series, "God Is," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.
21 From that time on, [after Peter confessed that Jesus was the Messiah,] Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you." 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me, for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things." 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life? 27 "For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done. 28 Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."
What does the blood of Jesus actually do for you?Hebrews 9 points us to one of the central truths of the Gospel: Jesus didn't simply offer another sacrifice—He offered Himself once and for all, securing eternal redemption through His own blood.In this message, Pastor Nathan Bentley continues our journey through Hebrews and explores the power of the blood of Jesus, the new covenant, direct access to God's presence, and what Christ's sacrifice means for believers today.The Old Testament tabernacle was a picture of something greater to come. The high priest could enter the Holy of Holies only once a year, but Jesus entered the true heavenly holy place once and for all through His own blood. And because of Jesus, we don't have to wait for someone else to approach God on our behalf.The way is open.The blood of Jesus gives us access to the presence of God now—not merely someday when we die. But the message goes even deeper.What does it mean for our conscience to be cleansed from “dead works”? What happens when we stop approaching God through religion and begin pursuing relationship with Him? And what does it look like to actually worship God in spirit and truth?Pastor Nathan challenges us to move beyond simply knowing about God and learn to encounter Him through the Holy Spirit. He explores what it means to quiet our minds, surrender our time, listen to God, and allow the Spirit within us to take the lead. The blood of Jesus didn't merely make you a better person.It made you a new creation.You don't have to wait until eternity to know God.The door is open.The curtain has been torn.The blood has been shed.Come into His presence.For more on LifePoint Church go to lifepointaz.com Check out our merch store https://lifepointaz-shop.fourthwall.comFind all our links in one easy spot https://linktr.ee/lifepointaz Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lifepointaz Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lifepointchurchaz/

Pastor Nathan kicks off our week with a powerful message titled The Coal Before the Call. Isaiah 6 reminds us that God addresses the assignee before the assignment. God reveals Isaiah's unclean lips, not to reject him, but to prepare him. The coal from the altar touches the place that needs cleansing. God doesn't expose us to embarrass us, He exposes us to cleanse us. Before we pray, send me, we must be willing to pray, search me, cleanse me, here I am. When Jesus has touched your life, you don't have to hide. You can stand available, ready for the mission God has for you. "Cleansed people can carry the call." -Pastor Nathan Green Join us Sundays at 9AM or 11AM!

Join us as Pastor Nathan explores our understanding of life after death / eternity / heaven by diving into Jesus's conversation with the criminals crucified by his side (Luke 23:39-43). Jesus famously replies saying "today, you will be with me in paradise." We'll unpack the word "paradise" and its use throughout scripture, ultimately to conclude that paradise is not just a place we go to when we pass from this life to the next - paradise is only paradise because of the person who resides there, Jesus.
