Pastor Brandon concluded the series on the Book of Jonah, emphasizing that Jonah's story reveals the human tendency to desire grace for ourselves while wishing for judgment on others. He highlighted Jonah's anger at God's mercy towards the wicked city of Nineveh, showcasing the struggle between divine compassion and human judgment. The sermon urged listeners to reflect on their own hearts, questioning whether they genuinely care for the salvation of others or if they are wrapped up in their own desires. Ultimately, Pastor Brandon challenged everyone to live On Mission and share God's love, encouraging a transformation in how we view and interact with those we perceive as undeserving of grace.

Pastor Brandon teaches in chapter 3 of the story of Jonah, emphasizing God's mercy and the power of repentance. Jonah's reluctant mission to Nineveh highlights God's compassion for all nations.

In Jonah chapter 2, Brandon emphasizes the transformative power of God's grace for those who have hit rock bottom, using the story of Jonah as a key illustration. Jonah's descent away from God illustrates how sin separates us from Him, often leading us to despair, but it is in our lowest moments that we can look up and call upon God for salvation. He highlights that true salvation belongs to the Lord, not through our efforts but through God’s merciful intervention, which is epitomized in Jesus. Ultimately, Pastor Brandon encourages listeners to confront their despair and recognize that God can restore and redeem, offering hope even in the direst circumstances.

Join us as we continue our study in Jonah. This week we look at Jonah's self absorption and parallel it to the story Jesus tells in Luke 18. Self absorbed people show contempt for others, compare themselves to other, and seek to exalt themselves. We see the contrast in 1 Timothy with Paul's humility. Dive in with us as we study God's word together.   Brandon Bachtel | On Mission   Stonepointchurch.com

This week we explore the story of Jonah and how our resistance to God’s calling can put not only ourselves but others in danger. We dive into Jonah's journey of fleeing from God's command to go to Nineveh, and the impact his disobedience had on everyone around him—from the sailors to the people of Nineveh. How does our resistance to God's mission affect the world, and what lessons can we learn about partnering with God in His mission?   On Mission | Brandon Bachtel www.stonepointchurch.com

Christmas often evokes mixed emotions, from nostalgia to feelings of loneliness and stress. Amid the chaos, many miss the true essence of the season.

In his last conversation with his disciples before being arrested and ultimately crucified, Jesus comforts His disciples, urging them not to be troubled. He assures them of a prepared place in His Father's house and promises to return for them. Providing a contrast, Israel's failure to trust God's plan led them to miss the Promised Land due to fear and unbelief. This lack of faith hindered Israel from receiving God's promises. Similarly, in John 5:1-9, Jesus heals a man paralyzed for 38 years, symbolizing the transformative power of faith and the path to true healing, peace, and fulfillment, found only in Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

What do you believe? Do you act on your belief? Discover how Jesus calls us to help others remove the grave clothes of sin and step into the freedom He offers.

Our Edgewood campus pastor, Cody King, examines John 10, where Jesus declares, "I am the door, illustrating His role as the means with which we come out of the "sheepfold of this world" and into the "true flock" for salvation and abundant life. It contrasts Jesus with false leaders who mislead. Believers are encouraged to recognize His voice, follow His guidance, and find spiritual nourishment and protection in Him.   Cody King | I AM   www.stonepointchurch.com

In the first week of our I AM series, we reflect on the lessons from John 6:22-59, where Jesus reveals Himself as the "Bread of Life."

Jesus teaches that true fulfillment comes through faith in Him, not just physical blessings.

In the last sermon of this series, Brandon tackles the real issue facing the church today: relying on our own strength instead of the Holy Spirit. Through Philippians 3:20-21, we’re reminded that our true citizenship is in heaven, and as Christ’s ambassadors, our lives should reflect His kingdom. We explore what it means to live out this heavenly calling, both personally and as a community, and how we can be moved with compassion for those who don’t yet know Christ.   Brandon Bachtel | In God We Trust   www.stonepointchurch.com
