Grab Bag: The Beatitudes

Our next installment of our summer series, “Grab Bag,” draws our attention to a series of “blessings” Jesus pronounces in the Gospel of Matthew. Known as “The Beatitudes,” these blessings are announced to people in unlikely situations - we don’t often feel blessed when mourning, hungry, or persecuted, for example. What is Jesus doing with these blessings? What do they teach us about Jesus’s vision for the world? Josh explores this and more in this week's message! ⛪️ To learn more about who we ar...

Pride Sunday

It's time for PRIDE! Each year during Nashville Pride we take some time to reflect on the importance of Pride - what is means and why it matters for a church to celebrate it together. This year we were so fortunate to hear from a panel of our own GPers about what Pride means to them and their journey. This is a powerful conversation that you won't want to miss! ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us 🗣 For weekly event and ways to get plugged in,...

Grab Bag: The New Testament

Our summer series, called “Grab Bag,” continued last Sunday with a focus on the New Testament/Christian Scriptures.

Grab Bag: The Council of Nicaea

This Spring/Summer marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. While many Christians have some sene fo the significance of this first church council, the details can be a bit murky.

Grab Bag: The Book of Revelation

This week we continued our new summer series, “Grab Bag,” by focusing on the book of Revelation. This book is full of strange symbols and shocking images, but what is the point or meaning of it all?

Easter

We had such an amazing time celebrating Easter together this weekend! Combined with his crucifixion, Easter is the central event of Jesus’s life in the Gospels. The most important question we can ask about Easter is not what happened, that is beyond our ability to answer. The most important question is what does Easter mean, especially for our lives 2000 years later? Join us as we seek to respond to that question! ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/ab...

Meeting Paul Again: What Do We Do with Paul Today?

Wrapping Up Meeting Paul Again: We’ve spent the last several weeks exploring Paul’s seven authentic letters, and in this sermon we wrap up that journey by asking that question, “What do we do with Paul today?” After taking a brief look at the other six letters attributed to, but not actually written by, Paul, we’ll imagine what his legacy might mean today. ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us🗣 For weekly event and ways to get plugged in, visit...

Meeting Paul Again: Romans

Over the past several weeks we’ve examined six of Paul’s authentic letters in our “Meeting Paul Again” series. This week we come to the seventh and final letter: Romans. This oft quoted letter has been instrumental in shaping so much of Christian theology, and it’s important to take it seriously. At the same time, we must ask questions about the readings and interpretations we’ve inherited. What does Romans tell us about the historical Paul and the early Jesus movement? ⛪️ To learn more about wh...

Meeting Paul Again: Philippians

This Sunday we continued our “Meeting Paul Again” series, this time in the letter known as Philippians. This letter contains some of Paul’s “Greatest Hits,” passages that have permeated Christian—and even cultural in some cases—consciousness. What do these passages mean in the context of Paul’s work and the rest of the letter? Join us as we explore “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength,” and so much more! ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepo...

Meeting Paul Again: 2 Corinthians

Our “Meeting Paul Again” series is exploring the story and teachings of the historical Paul, in his own words. This week we continued the journey through his authentic letters by turning our focus to 2 Corinthians. This letter is likely a combination of three or four smaller letters and gives us a further glimpse into the conflict between Paul and the Corinthians. Two key areas of focus in this sermon were Paul’s line in chapter five about “walking by faith and not by sight,” a statement that ha...

Meeting Paul Again: Philemon

This weekend we jumped back into our “Meeting Paul Again” series by discussing the letter to Philemon. This is the shortest of Paul’s authentic letters, but it gives us a fascinating look at how he understood the practical implications of following Jesus. ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us🗣 For weekly event and ways to get plugged in, visit https://gracepointe.net/calendar🙌 To become a sustaining member of the GracePointe community, visit h...
