Cash, Credit Cards, & Christ | Seed. Time. Harvest. | Nathan Bentley
2026/10/25
We all have opinions about money. We worry about it, work for it, save it, spend it—and sometimes let it determine our sense of security and worth. But how does God see money? And what does the way we handle it reveal about the condition of our hearts?
In this message from our Seed. Time. Harvest. series, Pastor Nathan Bentley walks through what Scripture teaches about money, stewardship, tithing, and generosity. From Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek to Paul's teaching in 2 Corinthians 9, we discover that biblical generosity is about far more than putting money in an offering.
In this message, we explore:
Why money can become one of the most dangerous idols in our lives.
What the Bible teaches about stewardship—not just giving, but spending, saving, and using our resources.
Why generosity isn't something we postpone until we have more money.
How God supplies seed for sowing and calls us to trust Him.
Why generosity creates opportunities to demonstrate the love of Christ and advance His Kingdom.
Pastor Nathan also shares personal stories about learning to tithe, trusting God through difficult financial seasons, and watching LifePoint move forward in faith. As our church looks toward the future—including the Coolidge campus, expanded youth space, and opportunities to serve our community—we are challenged to consider what God could do if we all faithfully sowed what He has entrusted to us.
This isn't about giving out of guilt or trying to buy God's blessing. It's about surrendering our hearts, trusting our Father, and becoming people who give freely because we know He is faithful.
The question is not simply, “How much money do I have?” It's “Who has my heart?”

The Riches of His Glory | Seed. Time. Harvest. | Chris Regan
2026/10/18
What if the life God is calling you into requires you to lay down something you've been holding on to? In “The Riches of His Glory,” Pastor Chris Regan takes us into Nehemiah 1 and the story of a man whose heart broke over the condition of Jerusalem. Nehemiah wept, fasted, prayed, and carried a burden for a harvest he could not yet see. His private prayers eventually led to bold action—and the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall in just 52 days. As we continue our Seed. Time. Harvest. series, we are challenged to consider what we're sowing into and whether we're willing to trust God with the outcome.
This message also confronts the ways our private lives shape our public faith. What we consistently invest in will eventually show up in our worship, relationships, decisions, and character. Pastor Chris challenges us to stop dismissing conviction as something that applies only to someone else, to examine the fields we're sowing into, and to invite the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that is keeping us from greater purity and consecration. God isn't calling us into shame or legalism; He's calling us into a deeper life with Him.
The message culminates in a powerful picture of the riches of His glory—the abundance of God's Kingdom and the invitation to trust Him with our time, resources, obedience, and future. This isn't a promise of instant wealth or a formula for getting something back. It's a call to live by faith, sow faithfully, and believe that God has more to accomplish through a surrendered life than we can see right now.
What are you sowing into? What might God be asking you to lay down? And where is He calling you to trust Him for more?

A Time For Every Season | Seed. Time. Harvest. | Nathan Bentley
2026/10/11
What if the harvest you've been praying for is already growing—but you don't know how to reap it? In Week 2 of Seed. Time. Harvest., Pastor Nathan Bentley challenges us to recognize the seasons God brings us through and understand that reaping is not a passive process. Ecclesiastes tells us there is a time to plant and a time to harvest. But how do we know which season we're in, and what does faithful action look like when God has been growing something in us?
Jesus' parable of the sower gives us an honest look at the condition of our hearts. Some seed never takes root. Some grows without depth. Some gets choked out by the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches. But good soil produces fruit. Before we can reap a harvest of righteousness, we must be willing to let God reveal the rocks and thorns in our lives. We must also learn to trust Him when growth is happening beneath the surface and the results aren't immediately visible.
And when the harvest comes, God doesn't intend for us to keep everything for ourselves. Scripture teaches us to leave the edges of our fields—to create margin in our lives so we can be generous with our time, talents, and resources. The harvest God grows in you is meant to bless more than you. So ask yourself: What season am I in? What is God preparing me to reap? What needs to change, and how can I use what He has given me to bless others?

The Unchanging Principle | Seed. Time. Harvest. | Nathan Bentley
2026/10/04
What are you sowing into?
We all want a harvest—strong marriages, healthy families, spiritual growth, financial stability, purpose, peace, and a life that honors God.
But Pastor Nathan Bentley challenges us with a difficult question:
Are we actually sowing the kind of seed that produces the harvest we're asking God for?
Galatians 6:7 reminds us:
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”
In the opening message of our new Seed. Time. Harvest. series, Pastor Nathan explores the biblical principle of sowing and reaping and how it applies to our spiritual lives, relationships, marriages, words, generosity, patience, and pursuit of God.
We can't continually sow into the flesh and expect a spiritual harvest.
And sometimes the harvest we think we want isn't actually the harvest God is calling us to pursue.
The ultimate harvest isn't simply more money, better health, greater comfort, or an easier life.
It is a harvest of righteousness.
Pastor Nathan also challenges us to understand that God's work in our lives takes time. We live in a culture of instant information, instant food, instant delivery, and instant gratification—but the things of God have not been put on Amazon Prime. 😂
If we keep jumping from field to field, we may never stay long enough to experience the harvest.
This week, ask yourself:
What am I sowing?What am I waiting for?What harvest am I actually pursuing?

The Unshakeable Kingdom | The Book of Hebrews | Nathan Bentley
2026/09/27
What happens when everything around you begins to shake?
Hebrews 12 reminds us that kingdoms rise and fall, circumstances change, institutions can fail, and the things we thought were secure can suddenly become uncertain. But there is a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
In the final message of our Hebrews series, Pastor Nathan Bentley takes us from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion and reminds us that through Jesus, we have not been given a distant hope—we have been brought into the presence of the living God and given access to an unshakeable Kingdom.
The question isn't simply whether the world around us will shake.
The question is whether we are living as citizens of the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Fear, anxiety, money, health, family, circumstances, politics, and the uncertainty of the world can all reveal where we've placed our trust. Pastor Nathan challenges us to examine what kingdom we are actually serving and to live from the confidence that comes from belonging to Jesus.
And because we have received an unshakeable Kingdom, our response isn't fear.
It's gratitude. Worship. Reverence. And hunger for God.

Stoned and Sawn in Two | The Book of Hebrews | Nathan Bentley
2026/09/20
What happens when faith doesn't look like a miracle?
Hebrews 11 is known as the “Hall of Faith”—a chapter filled with men and women who trusted God, stepped out in faith, saw miracles, conquered kingdoms, received promises, and experienced God's power.
But Hebrews 11 also tells the story of people who were tortured, mocked, imprisoned, stoned, and sawn in two.
And Scripture calls them faithful too.
In this message, Pastor Nathan Bentley challenges us to examine what our faith is really built on. Is our faith dependent on God giving us the outcome we want—or is our faith rooted in who God is and what He has already done?
Faith isn't just believing God can do something.
Faith is trusting Him even when He doesn't do what we expected.
Pastor Nathan walks through Hebrews 11 and challenges us to develop the kind of faith that can withstand disappointment, suffering, uncertainty, and sacrifice—and still say:
He is worthy.
This message challenges us to stop resisting the Holy Spirit, pursue God's presence, and develop a faith that isn't built around comfort but around conviction.
“He is worthy to be praised, He is worthy to live for, He is worthy to die for, He is worthy to worship.”
If you've ever struggled with disappointment, unanswered prayer, suffering, or wondering where God is in the middle of a difficult season, this message is for you.

Faith and a Better Covenant | The Book of Hebrews | Nathan Bentley
2026/09/13
How do you know when God is speaking to you? And what keeps you from hearing His voice?
In this message, Pastor Nathan Bentley continues through Hebrews 10 and into the themes of faith and the better covenant, exploring what it means to have confidence before God, draw near to His presence, hold fast to our confession, and live by faith.
Because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we don't approach God from a place of condemnation or distance. We have confidence to enter the presence of God through the blood of Jesus.
But learning to walk with God also means learning to recognize His voice.
Pastor Nathan walks through practical ways to develop that relationship with the Holy Spirit and identifies several obstacles that can interfere with hearing and responding to God—including fear, unforgiveness, lack of surrender, distrust, and idols.
You'll also learn why hearing God's voice isn't simply about receiving information. It's about relationship, surrender, obedience, and learning to recognize the One who is speaking.
“You have heard the voice of God before. You just didn't know it.”
This message challenges us to stop treating God like a genie we only approach when we need something and instead develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit where we continually listen, respond, and obey.

Known by your Fruit | Christy Bentley
2026/09/06
What does your fruit reveal about the source of your life?
Jesus said, “For each tree is known by its own fruit.” But what did He actually mean?
In this message, Pastor Christy Bentley takes a deeper look at Jesus' teaching about fruit, the vine and the branches, and what it really means to abide in Christ.
It's easy to mistake outward appearance for spiritual fruit. We can serve, know Scripture, teach, attend church, and do all the things that look like Christianity—yet still be operating from our own strength rather than remaining connected to Jesus.
Pastor Christy explores the difference between dead works and the fruit of the Spirit, explaining why the source matters more than the appearance.

Power in the Blood | The Book of Hebrews | Nathan Bentley
2026/08/30
What does the blood of Jesus actually do for you?
Hebrews 9 points us to one of the central truths of the Gospel: Jesus didn't simply offer another sacrifice—He offered Himself once and for all, securing eternal redemption through His own blood.
In this message, Pastor Nathan Bentley continues our journey through Hebrews and explores the power of the blood of Jesus, the new covenant, direct access to God's presence, and what Christ's sacrifice means for believers today.
The Old Testament tabernacle was a picture of something greater to come. The high priest could enter the Holy of Holies only once a year, but Jesus entered the true heavenly holy place once and for all through His own blood.
And because of Jesus, we don't have to wait for someone else to approach God on our behalf.
The way is open.
The blood of Jesus gives us access to the presence of God now—not merely someday when we die.
But the message goes even deeper.
What does it mean for our conscience to be cleansed from “dead works”? What happens when we stop approaching God through religion and begin pursuing relationship with Him? And what does it look like to actually worship God in spirit and truth?
Pastor Nathan challenges us to move beyond simply knowing about God and learn to encounter Him through the Holy Spirit. He explores what it means to quiet our minds, surrender our time, listen to God, and allow the Spirit within us to take the lead.
The blood of Jesus didn't merely make you a better person.
It made you a new creation.
You don't have to wait until eternity to know God.
The door is open.The curtain has been torn.The blood has been shed.Come into His presence.

When Eternity Invades the Present | Tom Rakoczy
2026/08/24
What if you're so focused on your past or worried about your future that you're missing what God wants to do in your life right now?
In this powerful message, Elder Tom Rakoczy challenges us to live in the present and recognize the presence of God in the ordinary moments of our lives.
Our past is real, but it doesn't have to paralyze us. Our future matters, but fear and anxiety about what is coming can keep us from hearing what God is saying today.
Tom reminds us that biblical Christianity isn't simply about waiting for eternity—it is about living with God here and now.
The question isn't simply, “What has God done?” or “What is God going to do?”
What is God doing right now?
Throughout the message, Elder Tom shares personal stories from decades of ministry, including how God taught him to recognize the Holy Spirit's voice in seemingly insignificant moments, how God used his wife as a spiritual mentor, and how the Lord gave him a new understanding of painful experiences from his childhood.
He also shares a powerful testimony from surviving a heart attack and experiencing the peace of God in the middle of intense physical pain—a reminder that God's presence doesn't mean we won't walk through difficult circumstances; it means we don't walk through them alone.
And perhaps the greatest challenge of the message:
What would happen if we stopped waiting for someday and started responding to God today?
God is not merely the God of your past or your future.
He is here.He is present.And He wants to speak to you today.
“When we live in the present and we move and have our being, no day is just another ordinary day, because we are his offspring.”

A Disciplined Walk | The Book of Hebrews | Mike Shamburg
2026/08/17
Why does God's discipline sometimes feel like punishment when the Bible says it is an expression of His love?
In Hebrews 12, we're challenged to lay aside every weight and sin that holds us back, run with endurance, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. But what does it actually look like to live a disciplined Christian life?
In this message, Pastor Mike Shamburg explores God's discipline, spiritual growth, Christian discipleship, and the things that can keep us from moving forward in our walk with Christ.
Hebrews teaches that God's discipline is not rejection or punishment—it is training and education from a Father who loves His children. Although discipline may not feel good in the moment, it produces the peaceful fruit of righteousness in those who allow themselves to be trained by it.
But discipline isn't only about what God is doing to us. It's also about how we intentionally choose to walk with Christ.
Work. Family. Sports. Responsibilities. Social media. Exhaustion. Even good things can become distractions when they take Jesus out of first place.
How often do we tell Jesus, “You must wait”?

Powerless Christianity | Misunderstood | Douglas Sheppard
2026/08/09
What if Christians can believe in the power of God—but still live powerless lives?
In this message from the Misunderstood series, Pastor Douglas tackles one of the most debated questions in Christianity: Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit still for today?
What is cessationism? What is continuationism? And more importantly, what does Scripture actually teach about the supernatural power of God?
Pastor Douglas shares his own journey from what he describes as “practical cessationism” toward a hunger for everything God has made available through the Holy Spirit. He examines Scripture, the return of Christ, the gifts of the Spirit, healing, prophecy, visions, miracles, and what it means for believers to live with genuine spiritual power.
But this message isn't simply about winning a theological debate.
It's about hunger.
Are we willing to believe God for more? Are we allowing disappointment, fear, tradition, or past experiences to determine what we believe God can do today?
And then Pastor Douglas shares an extraordinary personal testimony of what happened when his newborn daughter stopped breathing—and God answered prayer.
The question isn't simply whether you believe God can move.
Do you believe He still wants to move through His people?

To Preach or to Prophecy | Misunderstood | Nathan Bentley
2026/08/02
Can women preach?
Did Paul really command women to remain silent in church?
Few topics have created more discussion—and more division—within Christianity than the role of women in ministry.
In this message from the Misunderstood series, Pastor Nathan Bentley carefully examines 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 11, and 1 Corinthians 14, exploring the historical context, Greek language, and the broader witness of Scripture.
Rather than asking what tradition says, this message asks:
What does the Bible actually teach?
Whether you agree or disagree, this sermon will challenge you to study Scripture deeply and allow God's Word—not culture or tradition—to shape your convictions.

Judge Not? | Misunderstood | Jamie Ferrara
2026/07/26
One of the most quoted verses in the Bible is also one of the most misunderstood.
Did Jesus really teach that Christians should never judge anyone? Or was He warning against a different kind of judgment altogether?
In this message, Pastor Jamie Ferrara walks through Luke 6 and other key passages to explain the difference between condemnation and righteous judgment. You'll discover why Jesus calls believers to examine themselves first, restore others with gentleness, and extend the same mercy we've received through Christ.
This message explores how mercy and truth work together, why discernment is essential in today's culture, and how understanding God's heart changes the way we respond to others.
Whether you've been hurt by judgment, struggled to receive correction, or wondered what Jesus really meant when He said, "Judge not," this sermon will challenge and encourage you.

Disclosure Day | Misunderstood | Tim Ferrara
2026/07/19
Are aliens real? Could UFOs be demonic? What should Christians believe if the world experiences "disclosure?"
In this message from the Misunderstood series, Pastor Tim explores one of the most talked-about subjects in today's culture through the lens of Scripture.
Rather than building a theology around headlines or conspiracy theories, this message challenges believers to develop a biblical worldview rooted in Jesus Christ.
Beginning in Genesis and tracing the unseen realm throughout Scripture, this sermon explores topics such as the Nephilim, spiritual warfare, angelic beings, the Tower of Babel, deception in the last days, and why Christians don't need to fear whatever tomorrow brings.
Whether you're curious about UFOs, wondering if aliens exist, or simply wanting to understand what the Bible teaches about the supernatural, this message points to the One who reigns over every power and authority.
The goal isn't to understand every mystery of the unseen realm.
It's to know the King who rules over it all.
