Cultivate: Preparing the Soil

As we continue our Cultivate series—a journey into forming a healthy, transformative spirituality—this week we turn our attention to a theme that touches all of us: Community.Many of us know firsthand the pain of unhealthy community—relationships marked by disconnection, mistrust, or exclusion. But what does a truly healthy, life-giving community look like? And how do we begin to cultivate that kind of space 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

We’re continuing our “Cultivate” series this week! So far we’ve explored awareness and love as key elements of a healthy, transformative spirituality. This week we turn to faith. What is faith? What does it mean to have faith? How can it shape us in meaningful ways?

Our "Cultivate" series continues this week!  Last week we began by talking about "awareness" as an indispensable key to nurturing a healthy, transformative spirituality. This Sunday we explored the contrast between a spirituality marked by manipulation and control and a spirituality grounded in love. ⛪️ 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 Founding Pastor/Pastor Emeritus Stan Mitchell talked about what is, arguably, the single most important shift in Christian thinking in the past two+ centuries: the move away from Inherent Separation (meaning the idea that we are born separated from God) as our starting point, and the shift toward Inherent Union (meaning that we are born connected in and to God).

This week Josh wrapped up our "GracePointe 201" series by talking about what it means to be Church. In this talk we explore a text, a context, and ask what they might mean for how we think about our collective work of being Church today. Where we start and where we end might surprise you! ⛪️ 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 in GracePointe 201 we’re exploring the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith—a framework that helps us hold both the grounded, historical reality of Jesus as a person of the past, and the living, abiding experience of Jesus for so many today. For many Christians Jesus is the great exception--somehow able to be like us but infinitely better than us. This Jesus is to be worshipped, but we all know deep down he can not be truly imitated or followed. What if there is another way to see Jesus, not as the exception, but as the rule? What if Jesus represents our potential, an invitation to become everything we can become? ⛪️ 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 at GracePointe we continued our GracePointe 201 series by talking about God. One of our convictions at GracePointe is that "God is a Mystery to be explored, not a doctrine to be espoused." What does that mean, practically? Join us at we explore that question and more!

Several years ago our Founding Pastor, Stan Mitchell, led us through a conversation called “GracePointe 101” that explored our growing understanding of the Bible, God, Jesus, and Church. Beginning this weekend we will build on that work and continue the conversation. because our understanding of the faith journey is that it is always unfinished, unfolding, and in-progress.This week we began with the Bible. What is the Bible? Does it still matter for us today? How can we approach it with both reverence and reason? Listen in as Josh leads us in that conversation!⛪️ 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
