When God’s promises seem broken, the story of the Shunammite woman reminds us to bring those promises back to God, internalize His shalom, and trust Him even when circumstances appear contradictory. Reverend Dr. Nicole Massie Martin reminds us that what may look like a broken promise today can ultimately be revealed as part of God’s greater plan and fulfilled promise.

What does it really look like to build a Christ-centered home? Pastor Shawn McGill unpacks Colossians 3:18-25, challenging us to replace control with mutual submission, harshness with Christlike love, and frustration with wholehearted service, reminding us that everything we do is ultimately for Jesus.

Our lives as believers were never meant to be compartmentalized, but all too often we find ourselves closing off certain areas to God. Pastor Shawn teaches us that when we invite God into every part of our lives, we can break free from the struggle of control.

You can leave the old life behind and still find yourself reaching for old ways of living. Culpeper Campus Pastor Aaron Judkins walks through Colossians 3:10–14 using the picture of the closet, the mirror, and the clothes to show us how Jesus shapes who we are and how we can live the Jesus Way.

Because we have been raised to new life with Christ, the patterns of our old life no longer have to rule us. Pastor Shawn McGill highlights the call in Colossians 3 to put sin to death and shares three practical ways to confront it: expose it, starve it, and ask the Holy Spirit for help. If you've just made the decision for Christ, we want to celebrate with you! Let us know here!

A lie does not have to be obvious to pull us away from the truth. Sometimes, it only needs to distort what God said by one degree. Dr. Donna Pisani shows us how to recognize those lies and answer them with the settled truth of God’s Word. When the enemy asks, “Did God really say?” we can respond like Jesus: “It is written.”

Life is full of “what ifs,” but Psalm 23 gives us a “surely.” Pastor Shawn reminds us that even when we do not know what the future holds, we can trust the Shepherd who leads us.

In the valleys of life, it’s natural to have questions about how long the struggle will last, whether we have the strength to make it through, and whether we are truly alone. Pastor Shawn uses Psalm 23 to remind us that the Shepherd is always with us, and even in the darkest shadows, His presence and light remain.

Pastor Shawn McGill shares how Psalm 23 reminds us that true peace comes when we stop striving for control and trust the Lord as our Shepherd. By trusting Him, we discover the blessings of His shepherding care through His provision, His rest, and His restoring grace for every wandering soul.

God gave us all appetites, and what we hunger for, we will pursue and ultimately be shaped by. Pastor Shawn teaches us how fasting and prayer can reshape our appetites and cultivate a holy hunger within us.

Before the walls of Jericho fell, God first prepared the hearts of His people. Pastor Eddie Cole of Lifepoint Hampton Roads shows us why consecration comes before conquest and how surrender positions us for the victory God has ahead.

A church that changes its city is a church that carries the heart of Jesus, and answers the prayer of Jesus. On this Food Bank Sunday, Pastor Michael shows us how being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community fulfills our call to reach the least, the last, and the lost.

What if compassion is not just something we feel, but something we have been called to do? As we kick off Paint the Town Red, members of our Lifepoint staff team teach through the parable of the Good Samaritan and challenge us to see the needs around us, love beyond comfort or differences, and go and do what Jesus has called us to do.

Every day, you’re being discipled by something; what has your attention is shaping your heart, your habits, and ultimately your life. Pastor TJ Williams challenges us to intentionally change who we listen to, where we plant ourselves, how we speak, and how we see God, so we can be formed by His truth rather than the world’s algorithm.

This Father’s Day message looks at the story of Elijah, a prophet who went from a mountaintop victory to running in fear and feeling ready to quit. Pastor Shawn McGill identifies three common mistakes we make when life feels overwhelming and shows us how to respond with faith.
