Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

The First Meal of the New World Luke 24:28-35 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church What do Easter, a disastrous first date, and strangers sharing a meal together have in common? One key ingredient. Tomorrow morning is the most important day in the history of all creation. Bring your neighbors, family, coworkers, friends, enemies, strangers, and your postman because they need to hear the most important truth, the only truth, that can save their souls. Hear about the risen Lord, two disciples receiving eyes to see the truth, and the missing piece that could have saved a bad date. New mercies will rise with the sun tomorrow, come and see what the Lord has done!…

The Table of Risk Luke 22:14-30 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Meals can be some of the most memorable events in our lives, especially when they are centered around important events. For God’s people of Israel, there was one meal in particular that was celebrated every year with the purpose of looking back and remembering. The Passover was the greatest act of deliverance in the Old Testament, and the annual feast of remembrance afterward was a monumental celebration where the whole country packed into Jerusalem to partake in it together. Jesus participated in this meal with His disciples just before He was arrested, and what took place during that feast forever changed God’s people.…

Little Man, Big Change Luke 19:1-10 Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A study performed in 2021 by the Pew Research Center revealed that 41% of Americans have experienced some form of harassment online, with 75% of those saying the abuse took place on social media. It’s clear that communication between humans has been impacted significantly by the internet, and not always in the best way. Online interactions don’t allow human connection because the person at the other end of the sentence is just a screen. When humanity is reduced to an object, then anything goes. During His earthly ministry, Jesus looked into eyes, touched with His hand, held with His arms, and spoke with His voice. Today He speaks into our hearts through His word, and now we are His hands and feet that deliver His message to others. The Word of Life breaks barriers and defenses and invites outsiders to come in and sit at His table.…

Joy at the Father's Table Luke 15:11-32 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church It can be a very intimidating experience walking into a new place for the first time, whether it’s a church, classroom, work, gym, party, etc. The anticipation creates a highly anxious state of mind because one of the top questions on our mind is, “What will they think of me?” We feel like the outsider, as though everyone else is in on some secret that we don’t know. But suddenly someone offers a big smile and waves you over to sit next to them, and your whole mood changes. Suddenly you feel a sense of belonging. Jesus knows that all of us are outsiders; we all have a deep longing to feel welcomed and loved, to be brought in and feel secure in our place. But – the danger of belonging is that we can stop remembering when we were outsiders.…

The Man Who Eats with Sinners Luke 15:1-10 Teacher: Brent Buttermore, Kids Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A 3-year-old little girl lost her beloved Muddles one day. She was in tears, heartbroken when it was time for her nap and her sweet stuffed kitten Muddles wasn’t there to comfort her. Assured by her mother that they would find Muddles, the toddler eventually fell asleep while the mother frantically tore through every inch of the house looking for the priceless toy. Hours turned to days and Muddles still wasn’t found. A week later, the little girl prayed for Jesus to help her find her lost kitten, and when she woke up from her nap, she opened a box in her closet and saw Muddles looking up at her. If Muddles were a person, how loved she would have felt knowing that the little girl and her mother were stopping at nothing to find her. Day after day, they didn’t give up. We are that little lost toy, and Jesus is relentless in His pursuit to find us and bring us home.…

There's Still Room Luke 14:15-24 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church If you have ever thrown an event that requires a guest list and invitations, there are two lists running in your mind: the guests you want to come, and the guests who you hope can’t make it. The former are the ones that you are close with, or you know will be the life of the party; the latter are maybe the ones who make you feel awkward or are hard to talk to. But—what if everyone on the first list said no? What if they said they were too busy for you and your celebration? God enrobed Himself in humanity and became God with Us, to deliver His people and invite them into His kingdom. But when He arrived, they rejected both His invitation and His kingdom. Thankfully the story didn’t stop there; the King extended the invitation to all who would believe. In this message, we'll learn as we continue in our series and hear what the Lord has for us.…

Seating Charts and Guest Lists Luke 14:7-14 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Ancient Rome utilized the dining table as a means for gaining social, political, and economic advantages. The host of an opulent dinner party would be an elite Roman citizen, and their goal was to showcase their wealth and sophistication by bringing out the best in class from food to entertainment. Their guest list was a who’s who of influential society, and the seating arrangement around the central table was no mere coincidence. Places of prominence were reserved for those guests who offered some kind of gain for the host, be it political or financial. When Jesus attended dinner parties of the prominent Pharisees, He was surely rubbing shoulders with people of means and power. He frequently called out their motives and lack of humility because their dinner parties were no different than their Roman counterparts. Jesus has a much different guest list in mind for us, however, and in this message, we will walk through His instructions for us.…

Tension at the Table Luke 14:1-6 Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Stubbornness is a character quality that can be a strength or weakness, but in most situations it’s a stumbling block. Frederick Nietzsche said, “Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.” In other words, the way something is done is more important than the final outcome. Once someone sets their mind on what they perceive is the right way to do something, it is difficult to convince them otherwise.The Pharisees found themselves clashing with the path that Jesus laid before them. They had convinced themselves that what they were doing was right, so anything different than their way had to be wrong, even if God Himself said it. It’s shocking to think they were bold enough to oppose God to His face, and it should cause us to pause and check our own hearts. In this message, we'll learn about a time when Jesus encountered this kind of stubbornness, and how we can equip our own hearts to prevent repeating that same mistake.…

Servants of Jesus Luke 12:35-48 Teacher: Caleb Middleton, High School Pastor / Student Director at Oak Pointe Church Here is, perhaps, an all-too familiar scene: you have left your teenaged children at home while you and your spouse attend an event together. You wrote down specific instructions on chores they were expected to do while you’re out, and that when the chores are finished, they can play. But what actually happens? They immediately play and forget all about the chores until they receive your text at the end of the night: “Coming home.” Now they’re in a panicked state as they hurry around to get the house in order before the door opens. Jesus has left us with similar instructions; He’s told us what to do, and when He returns, He wants to see that we haven’t procrastinated or forgotten! Tomorrow morning let’s come together and hear the Word of our Lord on how we can get ready for His return.…

Meals with Jesus Luke 10:5-7 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church When you look up the word peace, the first definition given is: “freedom from disturbance; tranquility.” This can be applied in a lot of ways, but one area it relates to is the people around us. Our American culture can be pretty hostile when it comes to certain controversial topics; a common mindset is, “If you’re not with me, you’re against me.” That kind of thinking creates such a disturbance in our mental and emotional state, the very opposite of peace! With ever-increasing defensive postures and hostile comments, there is a great temptation to want to stick within a certain bubble and keep out the negativity. But Jesus sent out His disciples anyway, and He wants to send us out too. In this message, we will hear some very encouraging news from the Lord about when we are out in the world and who we might encounter.…

Meals with Jesus Luke 9:10-17 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Watching a cat’s absurd overreaction to normal objects is a pastime many people enjoy on social media. For whatever reason, the smallest movement of a stick or paper can send the cat flying an impressive distance at unfathomable heights. As soon as they land and look back at what made them jump, you can almost see their expression thinking, “Oh. I might’ve overreacted.” How many times does this happen when we’re startled by something the Holy Spirit wants us to do? We jump in fear, we fumble around with excuses, we might even try running away. But when it’s over we can look back and say, “Oh. I might’ve overreacted.” Jesus isn’t out to scare us or sabotage us with impossible tasks and heavy burdens. Just the opposite! His yolk is easy, and His burden is light. When He calls us to do something, He is working in and with us. In this message, we'll see just how tender He is when He has big plans for us.…

Meals with Jesus Luke 5:36-50 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Financial debt is something most Americans are well-acquainted with. Forbes conducted a survey and found that 77% of Americans currently have some level of debt, with 72% reporting they were likely to continue accumulating more. Debt brings a host of problems with it, the most being the emotional strain it puts on us and our relationships: 86% of those surveyed reported that their debt was hurting their closest relationships in some way. Imagine the relief these people would feel if they received a notice in the mail tomorrow stating that their debt was 100% erased? This is exactly the relief that Jesus offers to everyone and their debt of sin. In this message, we will hear of two ways we can respond to this incredible offer, and it will impact those around us.…

Meals with Jesus Luke 5:33-34 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church When you are invited over for dinner at a friend’s house, the proper etiquette is that no one eats until everyone has been served, right? Imagine the scene: a long dining table with friends and family crammed all around. The table is adorned with a spread of steaming dishes, bowls of gravy, plates stacked with biscuits, a juicy roast. The smells alone are enough to send you into a frenzy. But—you cannot take a single bite until every person has their plate. So, what happens in the waiting? Your anticipation and longing for the feast grows exponentially. Right now, we are in a season of waiting; we await Jesus returning in His glory, and once He does, we will feast like never before! Until then, however, our longing and anticipation of His arrival grows daily. In this message, you'll hear about how that longing can drive us into a deeper relationship with Jesus.…

Meals with Jesus Luke 5:27-32 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A young family invited their neighbors over for dinner one night. Their four-year-old daughter, curiously asked her mother, “Who are they? Why are they eating here?” Her mother replied, “Daddy and I want to get to know them because they’re our neighbors, so we invited them over for dinner. Eating together is one of the easiest ways to make friends!” Later that night at bedtime, the mother peeked into her daughter's room and saw a curious scene: all her daughter’s dolls were sitting on a blanket surrounding plastic food. “What are you doing, honey?” she asked. “They’re all neighbors and they want to get to know each other!” the daughter explained excitedly. Jesus modeled to His disciples the kind of lives and ministries He wanted for them, and His practice of sharing a meal with others was intentionally laid out as an example. In this message, you'll learn how opening your home and dinner table can have lasting impacts on the kingdom of God.…

Love My Enemies and Do Good to Them? Seriously? Luke 6:27-36 Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Statistics show that young people today are lonelier than ever before in human history, and social scientist Arthur Brooks surmises that society is experiencing a “loneliness epidemic.” He explains some of this by the idea that our culture has emphasized safety over risk and has therefore impeded our ability to love others who are different than us. Love, especially loving others who are difficult to love, requires risk. Jesus knows how loving our enemies grates against our flesh and instigates fear. He knew what He was saying when He taught the principle of “turn the other cheek.” However, Jesus doesn’t deliver an impossible command and leave it up to us: He Himself supplies the very love He’s asking us to give. In this message, we will hear how Jesus wants us to treat our enemies, and how we can carry it out.…

The Knowledge Luke 1:76-79 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Most of us have heard, or used, the phrase “Fake it ‘til you make it”, right? The implication is that if you are unfamiliar with something, you can just put on a façade that will convince others that you are actually very knowledgeable about the topic so you can stumble along until you either learn enough to get by or finish the task without being challenged on your knowledge. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t! Truth is not a fake it ‘til you make it situation, however. A more apt phrase for truth would be “You either know it, or you don’t.” Scripture proclaims that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; so, to know truth, we must know Jesus! Tomorrow morning, we are continuing our advent series, and we will hear about truth, knowledge, and why they go hand-in-hand.…

The Spirit Mark 2:1-13 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Have you ever been to a really good restaurant? You know the kind: you can smell its pleasing aroma as soon as you step out of the car into the parking lot. You walk in and every table has a tantalizing dish; you order an appetizer because you can’t wait any longer. What does an appetizer do? It increases anticipation of the meal. The appetizer isn’t the meal; it simply whets your appetite. It makes you wonder, “If the appetizer is this good, how much better is the entrée?” John the Baptist paved the way for the long-awaited Messiah. He wasn’t the savior; he was simply the appetizer. When Jesus came and defeated sin and death, He fully satisfied our hunger for salvation. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to explore the depths of God’s generous heart and what He gave to us through His only Son Jesus.…

The Star Matthew 2:1-8 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Throughout antiquity, creation has been held in high esteem by most cultures; its undeniable beauty and power lead many to believe some kind of deity was responsible for it. Notably, the heavens were of utmost importance in ancient religions and astronomy played a vital role in their belief systems. Some viewed the stars as lanterns for the angels, some thought they were the nail heads holding up the sky, still others believed stars to be the children of the sun and moon. Clearly, the skies have always drawn mankind’s gaze heavenward. We know that a Deity is in fact responsible for this beautiful creation. And as the Almighty Creator, He can and does use His creation to accomplish His will. When we gather together tomorrow morning, we will hear about one of the mightiest acts in creation and its far-reaching impact.…

Exiles, Keep Watch 1 Peter 5:8-14 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Two friends were having dinner at a restaurant. A sign over the coat rack read, “Keep watch over your coat.” One gentleman was constantly craning his neck around to make sure his coat was still there, taking pains to see around other guests as they walked by. His friend, without regard for his own coat, said, “You can stop checking on our coats, they’re fine!” The first man replied, “I’m only watching mine; yours has been gone for half an hour.” Keeping watch is certainly important for our physical safety and belongings, but it is even more important for our spiritual safety. Jesus charged His followers to keep watch many times, just as Peter does at the end of his letter. Join us tomorrow morning as we hear Peter’s final words of encouragement and admonition.…

Favor to the Humble 1 Peter 5:1-7 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church There was a popular TV show on the CBS network called “Undercover Boss” that ran from 2010-2022. The premise of the show is for a company’s top executive to go undercover and work in various entry-level positions to gain a deeper understanding of the company and its employees. At the end of the week, the boss reveals their identity and surprises everyone. They often learn more about themselves than the company though when hearing amongst employees about the character traits that are respected and valued. Many times, the employees appreciated the bosses that showed empathy, humility, and servant-leadership above intellect and authority. While our modern American culture prides itself on independence and personal freedoms, the Bible teaches that pride comes before a fall and that the meek will inherit the earth. On Sunday morning we will look further into biblical leadership in the church and the crucial role we all play.…

Destined to Suffer & Overcome 1 Peter 4:12-19 Teacher: Caleb Middleton, High School Pastor / Student Director at Oak Pointe Church There are some students bearing the name of Christ in public schools who receive ridicule and teasing for their faith. As parents, when we witness our children suffering for their convictions we are tempted to swoop in and carry out swift justice. Sometimes we ourselves are on the receiving end of persecution, in the workplace or just out running errands. But, how many of us have celebrated this harsh treatment? Have we ever skipped away from a crowd of jeering and let out a “Woohoo!” Well of course the answer is no, but did you know that not only are we encouraged to rejoice, but we actually have the ability to do it in the face of suffering? Jesus has given us every reason to not fear suffering, and every reason to be encouraged by it! Tomorrow morning we’ll hear more about this incredible truth and how we can live it out.…

Going a Long Way in a Short Life 1 Peter 4:1-11 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church According to a study done in 2021, 1 in 4 Americans volunteer their time in nonprofit organizations. In a separate study done in 2023, it was reported that the percentage of church members who volunteer their time is about 1 in 5. While the numbers aren’t too different (and different studies yield varying results), that’s where the problem lies isn’t it? As the body of Christ, giving our time and resources should involve every single one of us. Isn’t that what would make the world stop and stare? To see a group of people otherwise unacquainted spending their free time and talents on serving each other. Tomorrow morning we will hear more about Peter’s letter giving instruction on how the church should live in a way that stands out from the world.…

The Sovereign Suffering Savior 1 Peter 3:17-22 Teacher: Charlie Koopman, Worship & Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Have you ever played on a sports team and had a coach who had never played the sport themselves? It doesn’t seem like the greatest idea, but it happens. What usually ends up happening? The players don’t trust the coach! They think, “Yeah yeah, you’re yelling at us, but you couldn’t do this!” Compare that with the trust that comes from a coach who has been through it all and instructs from a place of tried-and-true wisdom. Night and day difference! As we run our Christian race, we can do it knowing that our Savior “coach” has already run it perfectly! He felt every anguish, every temptation, every pain and hurdle; He has been through all of it, came out the other side perfectly, and has come back to coach us through it. Tomorrow morning, come and listen to what our Suffering Savior has done for you!…

Peacemaking and Coffee 1 Peter 3:8-16 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church In the late 19th century, the Colt .45 SAA revolver was given the nickname “Peacemaker.” One suggested theory on why it was called the Peacemaker has to do with its popular use among lawmen, and with it being the weapon of choice in the Wild West. The idea is that you would comply with the demands of the owner of the revolver, thereby enforcing “peace.” Thankfully, Almighty God calls us to a much better, true peace both with Himself and with other believers. The God of all peace has set forth the guidelines for His children to follow and put into practice. With so much to celebrate tomorrow during our Grand Opening, please come and be encouraged through the preaching of His Word and learn how to cultivate peace in your life and the lives of those around you.…

The Christian Superpower 1 Peter 3:1-7 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A common scene when a younger child receives a brand new LEGO set is that they open all the packages, dump the pieces into one big pile, and begin to put them together at random, leaving the instruction book cast aside and forgotten. Naturally, frustration ensues, and the child becomes less than eager to press on and finish the project. The resulting creation looks nothing like the picture on the box. Much of the world approaches marriage in the same way. The excitement of the wedding day causes the instruction book to become a distant memory, and the bride & groom begin piecing together their new partnership at random. After a while they take a step back and see that it looks nothing like they thought it would. Frustration ensues, and they become less than eager to press on. Tomorrow morning, we will hear Peter give the instructions for marriage, what pieces are needed, and how it should look.…

The Christian Superpower 1 Peter 2:18-25 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Superheroes have become a large part of modern culture. Audiences everywhere are drawn to these larger-than-life characters displaying awe-inspiring powers and abilities. In more recent years there has been an increased interest in learning about a superhero’s origin story—the “where it all began” explanation that led to the character becoming super. Christians have their own origin story, and it began about 2,000 years ago on an old, rugged cross. Jesus’ death paved the way for believers to become new creations, capable of unthinkable deeds. Much like Peter Parker awakening with new super abilities from the radioactive spider venom coursing through his veins, Christians awaken to a new life filled with the Holy Spirit, the very presence of God Himself.…
