On the Christian calendar November 1st is known as "All Saints Day." It's a day on which Christians remember the faithful who have passed on from this life, and reflect on the meaning and impact of their lives. This week Josh invited us to consider the question, "What makes a saint?" We also had an opportunity to light a candle and reflect on the saints in our lives. ⛪️ 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 https://gracepointe.net/give

This week we wrapped up our October series, “Haunted: Things That Go Bump in the Bible.” Our final installment focused on damnation, the idea that some people-- those who haven't prayed the right prayer or held the right beliefs-- will spend eternity in hell. Does Scripture say that? Would a loving God do that? What do we make of the references to hell in the Bible?⛪️ 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 https://gracepointe.net/giveLike us on Facebook at   / gracepointetn  Follow us on Instagram at   / gracepointetn 

Last Sunday we continued our October series, “Haunted: Things That Go Bump in the Bible.” This week we focused our attention on perhaps the scariest concept in both the Bible and life: Death. What does the Bible say about death? What does it mean for the New Testament to claim that "death has been defeated" in the story of Jesus? Join us as we wrestle with these questions together! ⛪️ 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 https://gracepointe.net/giveLike us on Facebook at https://facebook.com/gracepointetnFollow us on Instagram at https://instagram.com/gracepointetn

This we we continued our October series, “Haunted: Things That Go Bump in the Bible.” Last week, we explored the figure of Satan. This Sunday, we turned to a related, and perhaps even more mysterious subject: demons.The New Testament is filled with stories of demons, unclean spirits, and Jesus confronting the forces of evil. But what are we supposed to make of these accounts? What did people in the ancient world mean when they talked about demons? And what might these stories reveal about who Jesus was and what he was doing?Join us as we wrestle with these questions and explore what these strange and unsettling stories might have to teach us 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 https://gracepointe.net/calendar🙌 To become a sustaining member of the GracePointe community, visit https://gracepointe.net/giveLike us on Facebook at https://facebook.com/gracepointetnFollow us on Instagram at https://instagram.com/gracepointetn

We started a new, spooky series this week! Each week of October our “Haunted” series will explore some of the things that go bump in the Bible: The Devil, demons, death, and damnation (hell).This week we kicked things off by talking about the Devil/Satan. Who or what is the Devil? Where do our ideas about Satan come from? What does any of this have to do with our shoes? Join us as we explore these questions and more!⛪️ 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 https://gracepointe.net/giveLike us on Facebook at https://facebook.com/gracepointetnFollow us on Instagram at https://instagram.com/gracepointetn

This week community member and theologian Kat Armas concluded our "Disturbing Red Letters" series by looking at some truly head-scratching words from Jesus. In Mark 9:43-48, Jesus says: If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to be thrown into hell., And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, where their worm never dies and the fire is never quenched. What do we make of these jarring words?

This week Josh brought us back into our "Disturbing Red Letters" series by looking at Jesus's words about "the way being narrow and the path hard that lead to life." Jesus went on to say "there are few who find it." That doesn't sound promising, considering there are billions of people on the planet, does it? How can we know if we are on this narrow way? Do we even want to be?

This Sunday we looked at more of Jesus's Disturbing Red Letters, with special guest and friend of GracePointe, Colby Martin!Colby focused on a passage from Luke 17, in which Jesus tells his disciples that "a mustard seed-sized faith" is enough to do anything--it can even command a mulberry tree to be uprooted and transplanted into the sea. You won't want to miss Colby's take on these Red Letters!⛪️ 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 https://gracepointe.net/give
