In 1 Peter 2:9-12, we are called a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, sojourners and pilgrims, called to glorify Him. It takes true grit to accept who we are. We can be confident of who we are when we know to whom we belong!
True Grit- Love One Another
True Grit- Intentionality
True Grit- Persevering Under Pressure
True Grit- Honest Conversations About Racism
With all the national discussions regarding race, we invited long-time Lightpoint Church members Chad & Kim Lynn to share their stories of growing up with racism, dealing with racism in today’s society, and how we can live out our mission- to be a unified church that shines the light of Jesus into a dark & hurting world.
Regardless
Hope That Restores
“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel,” Ezekiel 29:25a Hope brings prosperity, is revealed, brings life, unites, in the attack, and restores. As we close out our series, Hope- The Study in Ezekiel, listen in as Pastor Chad teaches how we can have hope restored.
Hope In the Attack
Be assured, attacks will come our way. God never promised us a life without struggles, trials or tribulations. He did, however, promise he would be with us in and through all things, good and bad. Discover what Ezekiel learned about having hope in the attack! Even in the midst of darkness, we can be assured of this- our hope rests in HIm.
Hope That Unites
In Ezekiel 37:15-28, the Lord commanded Ezekiel to join together the sticks of Joseph (Ephraim) and Judah (Israel). He says to Ezekiel in verse 19 “and make them one stick, that they may be one in my hand.” From this unity we learn that they walked obediently, in peace, and made known the Lord was their God. Do you walk in unity? Do your unified actions point others to Jesus? Listen in to Pastor Chad to learn more about what we can learn from Ezekiel 37 and how we can point others to Christ by our hope that unites.
