Hello Church Family, I hope you’re richly experiencing God’s grace this week. When I was sixteen years old, a man ten years my senior took me golfing for an afternoon at the Kitty Hawk Golf Course in Dayton, Ohio. I’ll never forget that day. It was unbearably humid, which caused my shirt to cling to… Continue Reading
An Update by Scott Williams Hello Church Family, Matthew 28:19: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” KJV “Go ye!” I once heard an entire sermon preached on the first two words of Matthew 28:19 from the King… Continue Reading
This week, Pastor John hands over the TAGD keyboard to Jonathan Clubb, Northpoint’s Pastor of Discipleship, Students.

Since 1984, under the influence and administration of President Ronald Reagan, Christians in America have annually recognized the third Sunday in January as Sanctity of Human Life Day. Well, this Sunday is that Sunday. At… Continue Reading
