• This Series: In our Cancel Culture environment today, there is fierce opposition against any stance that is in defiance of what is viewed as acceptable norms in our godless society. However, scripture is clear that followers of Jesus do not live by the standards of this world. (1 Cor. 10:2) In light of this truth, we will look at four hot-button issues from a Biblical perspective and worldview.
• This Week: The problem with Critical Race Theory is not that it isn’t found in the Bible; it’s that it offers a very different explanation of humanity, sin, and redemption than the Bible does. We need to be careful that biblical themes of human dignity, justice, and mercy are confronted without compromising truth.
Key Phrase: “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy.” Micah 6:8

• This Week: Every human being has a bent towards different kinds of sin. Since we were all born into sin doesn’t mean we are to ignore any sin that scripture condemns. Love and acceptance do not equate condoning of any sin or sinful lifestyle. However, a biblical response to love people regardless of their sin is desperately needed today.
Key Phrase: “…godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.” Romans 1:18

• This Week: Guardrails are a system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas. They are always placed in the safety zone and never in the danger zone. While we understand their need for vehicles, there are other areas of our life where we need guardrails to protect us from doing major damage in our life. When we ignore God's guardrails, we experience a very painful type of stupid. Barry will give us examples of warning indicators that go off when we are flirting with stupidity. Foolish people don't live carefully nor do they consider the consequences before making dumb decisions. Wise people, however, see the guardrails and make corrections immediately.
Key phrase: “For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.” Proverbs 5:21

• This Series: The horizon is a beautiful picture from our Creator. They are symbolic for hopes, dreams, and a future. To see a horizon, we must look up, out, and beyond ourselves. The COVID season has caused many to look down, around, or within themselves. As believers at GracePoint, we need to refocus our attention. We need to recast our VISION and lift our eyes and see the HORIZON God has before us.
• This Week: We finished out this HORIZON CHALLENGE with these two passages of commitment to the Lord. May we see God work at GracePoint more than ever before. May He increase our faith. And more importantly, may God receive all the glory He deserves!
Key Phrase: “May your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God…” 1 Kings 8:61
