Join us this week for the second message in our series, "God Is," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “Have you ever been tested? Not academic tests, but real life tests like grief, stress or disappointment?” Pastor reads the Scripture passage and teaches how Abraham was tested. He preaches that The Lord: 1 – tests, 2 – provides, 3 – blesses. So: love the giver more than the […]

19 July 2026In this message, Pastor Nathan continues our Ephesians series by exploring how Jesus breaks down barriers and brings outsiders into the family of God. Ephesians 2 reminds us that the Church is called to be a place of peace, unity, grace, and welcome, where people from every background can draw near to God through Christ.Notes:In this message, Pastor Nathan continues our Ephesians series by looking at Ephesians 2:11-18 and God's vision for a united Church.Paul reminds the Gentile believers that they were once outsiders. They lived apart from Christ, separated from God's promises and without hope. But through the blood of Jesus, those who were once far away have been brought near.Jesus brings outsiders in.Pastor Nathan explains that the early Church faced deep divisions between Jewish and Gentile believers. Some Jewish Christians placed barriers in front of Gentiles by expecting them to follow Jewish laws, customs, and traditions before they could fully belong.Paul strongly rejects this idea. Our way to God is through Christ alone.There is no hierarchy of believers under Jesus. It does not matter whether someone is male or female, rich or poor, Jewish or Gentile. We are brought together through one cross, one Spirit, and one body.Christ brings peace to our differences.Through His death on the cross, Jesus broke down the wall of hostility between people. He did not simply bring two divided groups into the same room. He created one new people from them.The Church should therefore be a place where people with significant differences can find peace and unity under Christ.Pastor Nathan challenges the Church to consider the barriers we may unintentionally place in front of others. These barriers may relate to:• Social or economic background• Culture or ethnicity• Political views• Age or generation• Disability or ability• Lifestyle, addiction, or past mistakes• Harsh attitudes, judgement, shame, or unhealthy leadershipThe Church must never become a place where people feel they need to clean themselves up before they are welcome.Pastor Nathan uses the image of a shower outside a swimming pool. Sometimes Christians can unintentionally communicate that people must become clean before entering the Church. But the Church is where people come to encounter Jesus, and it is Jesus who cleans, saves, and transforms.We do not clean people. The blood of Jesus does.This does not mean watering down the truth of Scripture or ignoring holiness. The Holy Spirit transforms people and calls us into a new life. But people must first be welcomed close enough to experience the love, grace, truth, and transforming power of Christ.Pastor Nathan also distinguishes between healthy boundaries and harmful barriers. Healthy churches need boundaries, but we should never create barriers that Jesus would not create.The challenge is to look honestly at our own attitudes and actions.Do people experience the love of Jesus when they encounter us?Do our words and behaviour draw people towards Christ, or make it harder for them to come near?The Church is precious to God. As His body, we are called to reflect His heart, welcome outsiders, embrace people who are different from us, and become a place where hostility is replaced by peace.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 2:11-18Galatians 2Galatians 3:28John 2:13-17Key Thought:Jesus breaks down barriers and brings outsiders in. The Church should be a place where people from every background can draw near to God through Christ.#hillschurch #beencouraged #nathanbell #evertonhills #brisbanechurch #brisbane #wesleyanmethodistchurch #hillschurchsermon

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan preaches this main point: Be in submission to continue the mission.

Pastor Nathan brings us an incredible message titled Have You Forgotten Who You Are? In this message, Pastor Nathan uses The Lion King as an illustration to reveal the biblical truth found in Exodus 3. In the movie, Simba forgot who he was and ran from his purpose. Everything changed when he heard his father's voice. Sometimes we allow shame and the voices of this world to make us forget who our heavenly Father says we are. The enemy's first attack isn't against your future, it's against your identity. If he can convince you that you're unworthy, unqualified, or beyond redemption, he'll keep you from walking in the calling God has for you. We are ambassadors for Christ, we must remember whose we are. As long as we remember who we are in Christ, the enemy will not overcome us. "If the enemy can convince you to forget your identity, you'll spend the rest of your life running from your destiny." -Pastor Nathan Green In our At The Movies series, we are using movies people recognize to reveal the Word of God.

Pastor Nathan preaches from Psalm 23 on Sunday morning, July 12, 2026 (Psalm 23)

Join us this week for the first message in our new series, "God Is," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan preaches about perseverance in the life of Abraham. Pastor reads the Scripture passage and reminds us that we are living “between the trees” from Genesis 3:24 and Revelation 22:2. He teaches that The Lord: 1 – keeps His promises, 2 – cares, 3 – is the everlasting God. So, pray […]

In this message, Pastor Nathan continues our Ephesians series by moving into Ephesians chapter 2.Paul begins with a clear description of humanity's spiritual condition. Without Christ, we were spiritually dead because of sin, shaped by the world, influenced by the enemy, and driven by our sinful desires.This is not written to condemn us. It reminds us where we have come from and helps us understand the depth of what God has done.Then Paul introduces two of the most important words in Scripture:“But God.”God intervened.He did not act because we earned it or achieved something that forced Him to respond. He acted because He is rich in mercy and because He loved us so deeply.Pastor Nathan highlights several things God has done for us:1. He gave us lifeThough we were spiritually dead, God made us alive with Christ.A dead person cannot bring themselves back to life. Our rescue is entirely God's work.2. He raised us with ChristThrough our union with Jesus, we have been brought into a new spiritual reality.We are no longer defined by death, sin, or our past. We are alive in Christ.3. He made us examples of His graceFollowers of Jesus are living examples of God's mercy, kindness, and grace.Our transformed lives show others what God can do.4. He created us as His masterpieceEphesians 2:10 describes us as God's workmanship or masterpiece.We are not finished products. God is still shaping, refining, restoring, and transforming us into something beautiful.5. He gave us a purposeSalvation is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning.God has prepared good works for us to do. There is a person He is forming us to become and a purpose He has prepared for us to fulfil.Pastor Nathan uses the illustration of hiking the Larapinta Trail to describe life with Jesus.The trail can be steep, difficult, tiring, and uncertain. There are mountains, valleys, dry stretches, and moments when giving up feels tempting.But the trail has been prepared.There are markers that keep us moving in the right direction. There are moments of rest, refreshment, growth, and breathtaking beauty. Over time, we build wisdom, endurance, trust, and resilience.Walking with Jesus is similar.There are mountains to climb, including addiction, anger, controlling behaviour, unhealthy patterns, or the difficult work of forgiveness.There are also valleys of grief, trauma, mental health struggles, broken relationships, and health concerns.Even through those valleys, Jesus has prepared a path. He walks with us, strengthens us, guides us, carries us, and reminds us not to give up.The Christian life is not always easy or comfortable. Being alive in Christ does not mean everything suddenly becomes simple.It means we no longer walk alone.Pastor Nathan closes with this challenge:Are you fully embracing the new life Christ has given you?It is time to stop creating our own path and trust the trail Jesus has prepared.Key Scriptures:Ephesians 2:1-10Romans 6:12-13Galatians 5:16John 10:10Key Thought:You were spiritually dead, but God made you alive in Christ. You are His masterpiece, created with purpose and called to follow the path He has prepared for you.

Pastor Nathan Ensz of Kingwood Bible Church in Salem, Oregon, returns to the podcast to talk about sabbaticals, what they are, why the Bible points toward them, and what he learned from taking one in 2024 after seven years at Kingwood. Nathan traces the idea back to the biblical pattern of Sabbath rest, the seven-year cycle of rest for the land, and the year of Jubilee, and explains why he believes ministry makes rest especially essential even though Scripture gives no direct command for pastors to take a sabbatical.Nathan is honest about his own hesitation. He knew of pastors whose sabbaticals had gone badly and worried his own might too, until his wife, Kelsey, pointed out that a sabbatical is for the whole family, not just him. Once he was away from Kingwood, he and Kelsey discovered how much of their identity had become tied to his role as pastor rather than his identity as a child of God, a realization he calls one of the most important parts of the experience. He also describes the practical side of two and a half months away: family milestones, visits to other churches, real rest at home, and watching his associate pastor Josh lead well in his absence, which reassured him that a sabbatical is a gift to the church family as much as to the pastor.The conversation closes with Nathan's encouragement for anyone approaching a sabbatical (including Matt, who is preparing for his own this September) to figure out what genuine rest looks like for them personally rather than copying someone else's plan. Nathan also previews the sabbatical workshop he will lead at USMB Gathering 2026 in Salt Lake City and reflects on how USMB has done well encouraging churches to embrace this practice.

Pastor Nathan brings us an impactful message titled Your Purpose Works Backwards. In this powerful message, Pastor Nathan breaks down the story of Desmond Doss from Hacksaw Ridge. We discover the life-changing truth from the Gospel of Jesus. As Christians, we should have hearts that never stop pursuing Jesus. Our purpose is found in pursuing Jesus and people, not in chasing success or fame. Luke 19:10 shows us how Jesus came "to seek and to save the lost" and how God often reveals our purpose through the needs and cries of those around us.

Pastor Nathan kicks off our new series, At the Movies, with a powerful message titled From Now On. In our new series, we are using stories people recognize to reveal the Word of God. The world promises fulfillment through success, money, and recognition, but those lights can never satisfy what only Jesus can fulfill. Barnum realized that success could never satisfy his heart, so he turned away from chasing applause and chose to return to what truly mattered, just like the prodigal son returning to his father in Luke chapter 15. The brightest lights aren't always leading you, sometimes they're blinding you. "Whatever has your heart will eventually shape your life." -Pastor Nathan Green Join us Sundays at 9AM or 11AM!

Pastor Nathan and Claire chat about sabbath and how the practice has changed their family rhythm and worship at home.

Pastor Nathan continues the sermon series in the book of Matthew on Sunday morning, June 21, 2026 (Matthew 6:25-34)

[Jesus said to the twelve:] 24 "A disciple is not above the teacher nor a slave above the master; 25 it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!   26 "So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered and nothing secret that will not become known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. 28 Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 And even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31 So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.   32 "Everyone, therefore, who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.   34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword.  35 For I have come to set a man against his father,  and a daughter against her mother,  and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,  36 and one's foes will be members of one's own household. 37 "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, 38 and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it." 

We celebrated Father's Day with a powerful sermon from Pastor Nathan titled, 'Does the Devil Know Your Name?' In this message, Pastor Nathan challenges us to examine the source of our spiritual authority. Are we living on borrowed faith and secondhand experiences with God? Or are we walking in true relationship with Jesus that transforms our lives and those around us? Paul was known in hell because he was known in Heaven. Every prayer he prayed, every soul he reached, and every act of obedience cost hell something. When you wake up, does it cost hell something?

What if some of the things Christians fight about most aren't actually the most important things?In the opening message of the new Misunderstood series, Pastor Nathan challenges us to examine how tradition, assumptions, and even good theology can sometimes distract us from the presence of God. Through Matthew 16, the confession of Peter, Caesarea Philippi, and the gates of hell, we discover that Scripture is often deeper than we realize. But this message isn't ultimately about theology debates.It's about relationship.It's about seeking God's presence instead of merely accumulating knowledge about God. It's about allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts instead of simply winning arguments. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're wrestling with difficult questions, this message will challenge you to pursue the presence of God above everything else.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/

9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.   10 And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with Jesus and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 12 But when he heard this, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners."   18 While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." 19 And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 20 Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, 21 for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well." 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that moment. 23 When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 26 And the report of this spread through all of that district.
