Last Sunday at GracePointe we had an important conversation about the relationship between our faith and our citizenship. Josh was joined by Founding Pastor Stan Mitchell, and our dear friends Doug Pagitt and Rob Ryerse of Vote Common Good for this timely, urgent discussion.
Read MoreThis week we continued our new summer series, “Grab Bag,” by focusing on the book of Revelation. This book is full of strange symbols and shocking images, but what is the point or meaning of it all? Does it predict the future or is it about something else? Josh talks about all that and more in this week’s message!

Read MoreWe had such an amazing time celebrating Easter together this weekend! Combined with his crucifixion, Easter is the central event of Jesus’s life in the Gospels. The most important question we can ask about Easter is not what happened, that is beyond our ability to answer. The most important question is what does Easter mean, especially for our lives 2000 years later? Join us as we seek to respond to that question!
Read MoreThis Sunday is the day known as "Palm Sunday" on the Christian calendar. It begins Holy Week, a week of controversy, teaching, and prophetic demonstration that leads to Jesus's death on Friday. What is Palm Sunday about? Why did Jesus choose to enter Jerusalem for that fateful week in this way? Join us as we relive the events of Palm Sunday and explore what they ask of us, today.

We’ve spent the last several weeks exploring Paul’s seven authentic letters, and in this sermon we wrap up that journey by asking that question, “What do we do with Paul today?” After taking a brief look at the other six letters attributed to, but not actually written by, Paul, we’ll think about what his legacy might mean today.
Read MoreOver the past several weeks we’ve examined six of Paul’s authentic letters in our “Meeting Paul Again” series. This week we come to the seventh and final letter: Romans. This oft quoted letter has been instrumental in shaping so much of Christian theology, and it’s important to take it seriously. At the same time, we must ask questions about the readings and interpretations we’ve inherited. What does Romans tell us about the historical Paul and the early Jesus movement?
Read MoreThis Sunday we continued our “Meeting Paul Again” series, this time in the letter known as Philippians. This letter contains some of Paul’s “Greatest Hits,” passages that have permeated Christian—and even cultural in some cases—consciousness. What do these passages mean in the context of Paul’s work and the rest of the letter? Join us as we explore “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength,” and so much more!
Read MoreThis weekend we jumped back into our “Meeting Paul Again” series by discussing the letter to Philemon. This is the shortest of Paul’s authentic letters, but it gives us a fascinating look at how he understood the practical implications of following Jesus.
Read MoreThis weekend we were fortunate to hear from GracePointe’s founding pastor, Stan Mitchell. In this powerful message, Stan takes us into the story of Jesus’s healing of a man who was born blind in John 9. You don’t want to miss this one!
