2016 was a year of Growth here at GracePointe! This was the year that we saw that's God Grace touches every area of our lives. When we allow God to be God in our lives then we will begin to see and experience growth in our families, in our church, in our prayer life, our communities, and in the Kingdom of God. The best thing about God's Grace is that it is available to all men and women (Titus 2:11), and rather it's 2016 or 3016 God's Grace is available to you... if you will accept it!

|
It is our prayer that as you watch these sermons from 2016 that you will come to experience for yourself just what Grace Grows in your life!

Soaring On Eagles WingsIn our first sermon of 2016, Pastor LaVonne interweaves the story of her life into the familiar and comforting passage of Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." No matter where you are in life - weary and fainting, or running and soaring - LaVonne reminds us that throughout it all God is right there with us.

Growing In God's GraceIn this sermon from our “Grace Grows Individual Lives” series, Pastor Scot shows us that growing in God’s Grace is not about being close to church activities or going through the motions; it’s about how close we are to God. Are we closer to God today than we were yesterday? It is only by God's Grace that we can do this! Please join us as we Grow in Grace together.

Just Retire

At The Core Of GraceIn this final sermon from our Grace Grows Individual Lives series, Pastor Scot teaches about the importance of forgiveness.

|
When You PrayIn our first sermon from our “Grace Grows through Payer” series, Pastor Scot shows us how praying and being a Christian are inseparable. We also see in this sermon that prayer is so much more than changing our circumstances; prayer is about changing our hearts and our lives!
A Prayer For Us:
|
Where You PrayIn this sermon from our “Grace Grows Through Prayer” series, Pastor Scot shows us that real personal prayer is not about repetition or praying so that everyone can see. Real prayer is all about getting alone with God and having a serious/private conversation with God.
Be Still
In this sermon from our “Grace Grows Trough Prayer” series, Pastor Scot reminds us of the importance of being still before the Lord in Prayer. All too often the demands of life require us to go, go, go! And yet we are told in scripture to “Be still, and know that I am God.” How do the demands of life meet the command of Scripture to be still before God? Watch this sermon and you will find out!
|
How To PrayIn this sermon from our “Grace Grows Through Prayer” series, Pastor Lavonne shares with us some things that she has learned about prayer throughout the years. As you listen to her stories of God’s provision may you be encouraged to see that God is just a pray away from providing for you!

We Are The Church
In this first sermon from our “Grace Grows the Church” series, Pastor Scot challenges us to rethink what church really means. Many times when people hear the word church our minds go to some form of building where people meet on Sundays. This is what is called the visible church. In this sermon Pastor Scot points our attention in another direction for church; in this sermon we look to the invisible church, which is constituted of all believers from all times and places since Christ himself established it.

Restoration
Due to some technical difficulties this week, we were only able to provide a short portion of this week's sermon. However, this enabled us to add a very moving short clip that directly pertains to Pastor Scot's message from Luke 15. As you watch, it is our prayer that the Holy Spirit would stir your heart to have your relationship to God or a loved one restored.

Fun At Church
In this sermon Scot takes a break from our “Grace Grows the Family” series and jumps back into our "Grace Grows the Church Series". This sermon shows us that church is meant to fun. In fact, Jesus wants us to have fun together. All too often we tend to compartmentalize the things of this life and in doing so we have come to believe that Fun and Church do not go in the same box. Here at GracePointe we do not buy into this belief and after this sermon, we believe that you won’t either!

HarmonyIn this sermon from our “Grace Grows the Family” series, Pastor Scot shows us some Biblical examples of how to restore Harmony in our homes.

Therefore, in this sermon we see the Reason, the Reaction, and the Resolution for conflicts within the family.

Hurting Parents
In this sermon from our “Grace Grows the families” series, Pastor Scot points to the pages of scripture in order to for us to see how to emotionally handle children that go astray.
