The Discerning Disciple (Part 9)

Can We Know God?1 John 4:1-6Brent ButtermoreIn 1 Kings 19, God’s voice doesn’t rush through the wind, quake through the earth, or blaze like a fire. Rather it comes as a gentle whisper, a quiet invitation to draw near to Him. Believers today are surrounded by the loud voices of politicians, influencers, and media — all seeking our attention. But God speaks differently. In a world that shouts, the disciple must learn to listen, pause, and discern for God’s voice. Join us this week in our 1 John

You need this to be happy!” Bright colors, tempting smells, and shiny objects pull at your senses.But in the middle of the chaos, you notice someone you love deeply—someone whose presence brings peace.

Can We Know God1 John 2:3-11The Peavey AT-200 Auto-Tune electric guitar sounds as pretty as it looks. It offers solid basswood construction, so it plays beautifully enough on its own, but the secret sauce of this guitar lies in its auto-tune technology. You simply strum and push the button for an immediate, perfect tone. Beyond that, the Solid-Tune Intonation continues working for you to correct each note as you play. Amazing! Somewhere an old-school musician is grumbling about technology ruining

(Part 1)1 John 1:1-4If you have flown on a commercial flight, then you’ve sat through the well-known “pre-flight safety briefing.” The flight attendants crowd into the narrow aisle and demonstrate how to operate all the safety equipment and exits. Now imagine that instead of the safety equipment demonstration, they spend the whole time talking about how to order the food, choose a movie to watch, and what’s going on in all the cities you’ll be flying over.

Ruth: Meditations on God's KindnessHebrews 11:6Philanthropy in the US began in the colonial period with the Puritans. They believed in not just supporting the poor and needy but strove beyond that to help the colonies as a whole. Men such as Cotton Mather, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere exemplified this model and had tremendous impact on the development of the country. When these men gave aid and helped ensure the hungry were fed, children were looked after, and education was accessible, no one

He attends a school for wizards and soon after his arrival he puts a special hat that will sort him into his dormitory. This hat looks inside to the character of a person and puts them where they will fit best. Every new student undergoes this process at the start of their school journey, and they remain with their dormitory the entire

Daniel: Patterns As We Speak to God (Week 3) Daniel 9:15-23A recent survey of 2,000 Americans sought to learn about their criteria for asking for help when starting something new. The results showed that 73% don’t ask for help until they feel it is absolutely necessary, and 13% admitted that they never ask for help. Of that same group, 53% said they feel held back from reaching certain goals in their lives because they try to go it alone. For whatever reason, it seems most Americans would rather not

When we then put the block of ice out in the summer sun, we are not surprised when it returns to its liquid state. We call these events cause and effect, and they make sense.What about when God

A Better Motive and IdentityActs 16:13-15Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe ChurchStudies all throughout history have unanimously reportedthat every human has a mother. In fact, those same studies all say that if you do not have a mother, you are in fact, not here. Due to this overwhelming evidence, it is a safe conclusion to say that everyone is impacted by mothers. All joking aside, celebrating Mother’s Day is a joy and blessing not to be taken lightly.

Meals with JesusLuke 10:5-7Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe ChurchWhen 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

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

Meals with JesusLuke 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

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

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

Exiles, Keep Watch1 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;
