We are on a 5-week journey toward Easter and the resurrection. This week, we looked at turning toward the cross. Following the example set by Jesus, we also must intentionally look at the cross and all that it means for us as believers. Each day, we’ll look at some simple devotions that help us prepare…
We live in a hurried world. Easter can arrive before we’ve had time to truly reflect on what it means. As we move toward Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus, I want to invite you into a five-week journey called “From the Cross to the Empty Tomb.” Beginning this Monday, you’ll receive a short devotional…
“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.” — John 15:8 Over the last several weeks, we’ve talked about being rooted — in Jesus, in prayer, in the Word, in community, and in obedience. But roots aren’t the goal. Fruit is. When I’m rooted in…
I find that sometimes repentance starts with a realization we didn’t expect. During Praise Team rehearsal, I kept trying to get everyone to sing the same pitch. The parts were definitely clashing. I was confident I knew where the part should land. I corrected. I redirected. I pushed for unity. I banged out the notes…
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17 We have spent the last few weeks talking about roots that grow deep. Being rooted in Jesus, God’s Word, and in prayer. This week, we’ll look at growing deeper in community. God never designed us to grow alone. From the very beginning, Scripture shows…
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Our devotion this morning was on being content. Contentment doesn’t usually come from having more—it comes from noticing what’s already there. We often rush past the quiet blessings of our ordinary lives: a safe place to sleep,…
“Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care…”— Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us I grew up singing some of the old hymns of faith, which are deeply theological. One of the hymns was Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us. Being led by Christ begins with admitting a simple truth: we…
“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” — Psalm 8:1 Psalm 8 begins and ends with wonder. David looks up at the night sky—the moon, the stars, the vastness of creation—and is overwhelmed. In the face of such greatness, he asks an honest question: “What is mankind that you are…
Three Point had its humble beginning as a Bible study of just fifteen people meeting on a beautiful outdoor patio in August of 2007. In September of the same year, the first “public” meetings were held in a rented public use building with a vision for intentionally sharing the message and love of Jesus with others and by encouraging them to investigate…
Advent is a season of longing. We have lit the candles of Hope and Peace—reminders that God steps into our waiting with promises strong enough to hold us and presence close enough to steady us. But this week, we turn to a theme that often surprises us in the waiting: Joy. Joy is different from…
