Feed the Fruit You Want
The Bible tells us that God is the Vine, and when we stay connected to Him, our lives will bear good fruit. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we faithfully focus on Christ and learn to love the routine of seeking Him, we feed the Spirit and produce its fruit.
Continue The Way You Started
When we first become believers, it often comes naturally to be excited about every aspect of our lives in Christ, but this can also have a tendency to wear off as we mature in our walk. Pastor Daniel shows us how through embracing the power of the Holy Spirit, we can live every day with the same passion as we did when we first began.
It’s All New
As we continue to study the book of Galatians, we learn even more about how God’s grace makes us new. Pastor Daniel shows us how grace gives us a new position, a new identity, and a new process.
There’s No Graduating From Grace
In the book of Galatians, Paul starts out with a strong warning to the church for straying from the true gospel. Pastor Daniel shows us how when we choose to remember and remain in God’s grace, as well as repel anything that is not the gospel, we live a life aligned with the truth of God.
The Pursuit of God
The entire goal of Christianity is to become more like Jesus, and we do this through actively seeking Him. Culpeper campus pastor Aaron Judkins teaches us that when we cultivate a rhythm of searching for the face of God, we run directly into His loving presence.
The Gift of Disappointment
The Easter story is one of such hope and joy that it can be easy to forget the followers of Jesus were feeling immense disappointment in the wake of His crucifixion. Pastor Daniel uses the story of Easter to show us how when faced with disappointment we can choose to turn our hearts towards God and allow Him to turn our pain into beauty.
The Jesus Who Seeks
God values the human soul greatly, and that is evidenced by how intensely He seeks to save the lost. Pastor Daniel shows us how we have been invited into this mission by carrying His message of salvation to the lost world around us.
The Jesus Who Serves
We live in a culture that glorifies being on top, but Jesus preached a very different way of living. Berchman Paul shows us that through humbling ourselves and serving others, our character becomes more like Jesus and our lives point people to Christ.
The Jesus Who is Trustworthy
Harry Emerson Fosdick said, “No virtue is more universally accepted as a test of good character than trustworthiness.” In today’s sermon, Dr. Donna Pisani teaches us that what we think about God’s character matters.
Who’s at Your Table?
Who you allow to sit around the table of your life matters greatly. Pastor Daniel teaches us the dangers of holding onto unforgiveness, and how making room for the grace of God at our table can release us from the bondage of bitterness.
Boundaries in Relationships
Boundaries can sometimes be viewed as selfishness, but in reality they are stewardship. Pastors Daniel and Tammie talk to us about some common issues with setting boundaries and misconceptions around them, as well as teach us the importance of setting the right ones.
5 Lessons for Parents from my Parents
If you are a parent, you are leaving a legacy in your family either intentionally or unintentionally. Pastor Daniel teaches that when we prioritize God and His ways, we leave an intentional and lasting legacy for our children.
Lasting Relationships
All relationships will face storms in life, but with a strong foundation, anything can be weathered. Pastor Daniel teaches us important steps to keeping Jesus at the center and building a lasting foundation in our relationships.
The Power of Words
Relationships are best if they are reciprocal, but we often focus on what we can gain. Pastor Daniel teaches on what we can bring to our relationships: Trustworthiness, life-giving words, selflessness, and love.
Choose Joy
While we cannot control what happens to us, we can control how we respond. Joy is a choice, and Pastor Daniel guides us through some practical ways to choose joy in our lives this year.
Choosing Your Relationships
The relationships in our lives will either be determined by default or by design. Pastor Daniel teaches us the value of relationships and gives us some practical tools for developing and maintaining meaningful ones.
Choose to Capture My Thoughts
Everything in life, both good and bad, begins as a thought. Pastor Daniel teaches us how through capturing our thinking, we renew our living and create a predictable future.
Choosing First
As a new year begins, there is one way to ensure it is your best year yet: put God first. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we prioritize spending time with God, being in the house of God, giving back the tithe, as well as praying and fasting, our futures become dependable and bright.

Christmas 2023
Christmas Eve Services at Lifepoint Church
The Right Reputation
It’s been said that a reputation can take 20 years to build and 20 minutes to destroy. Berchman Paul teaches us that when we have a reputation of bringing others to Jesus, serving Jesus, and having faith in Jesus, we close the gap between the reputation we claim for ourselves and the one others experience when they encounter us.
Spirit of Generosity
Many believe they will eventually live a generous life once they reach their goals, but the Bible shows us that the harvest never comes first. Pastor Daniel teaches how when we live with a generous spirit, God delights in blessing us.
Don't Be Asleep
You miss things when you are asleep. You can miss the move of God because you are spiritually asleep. Pastor Daniel Floyd uses the story of Eutychus to teach the risks of a sleeping faith and how we can determine if our faith is asleep and needs to wake up.
Stories of Life Change
Lives are changing every day in the local church as well as the global church. Each of the Lifepoint Campus Pastors share just how powerfully God is moving at all five locations.
Responsive Faith
God’s mercy and faithfulness to us are so great, they both inspire and warrant a response. Pastor Daniel teaches us that we should respond by drawing close to Jesus, holding to His Word unswervingly, and inspiring action in others by the way that we live.
Model Faith
It’s always helpful to have a model in our life, and that includes having a model for our faith. Pastor Daniel uses the life of Abraham as an example of how we can increase our faith through seeking the Lord and walking confidently in the hope of eternity.
His Faithfulness, My Strength
Life is messy, but when God is with us, we can rest even in messy situations. Pastor Eddie Cole teaches us how recording and remembering God’s faithfulness in our past gives us faith and peace for the future.
Too Close to Quit
Grit is passion and perseverance toward a goal despite difficult obstacles, and believers need to possess grit. Pastor Bianca Olthoff teaches us that when we are willing to change our perspective, remember our purpose, and pivot when necessary, we become people who possess the grit needed to fight for all God has called us to.
It’s My Turn
Often, Jesus answers our prayer in the form of an assignment. Pastor Daniel uses the story of the leper in Luke 17 as a reminder that when Jesus answers our prayers, we should always return with humility, gratitude, and praise.
Make an Opening
Despite all that life may throw at us, good and godly friends are a blessing that can help us overcome difficulties. Pastor Dino Rizzo uses the story of the lame man in the Bible whose friends brought him to Jesus as an example of the kind of friend we should look for and be.
Tricks Are For Kids
You live out what is rooted in the soil of your life. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we allow God to define us, our identity will be rooted in Him and we will live the lives He intended for us.
Prayer Closet
The Lord has called us to be the salt of the earth, and to be effective in this we must cultivate intimacy with Jesus. Aaron Judkins teaches us that we discover this intimacy through a prayer life filled with intentionality, honesty, and the desire to truly listen to the voice of God.
Vision Sunday
Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” On this Vision Sunday, Pastor Daniel reminds us that the ultimate vision of the Church is to help people know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.
Pressure to Purpose
When we face pressure, we can either allow it to confine us or refine us. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we listen to the voice of God, ready to put in the work, we can trust that God will bring us out of the cave of confinement and into His glorious will.
What Answers the Door?
When opportunities or trials knock at our door, do we answer with fear or with faith? Pastor Daniel challenges us to make sure our faith aligns with God’s timing, will, and way.
When We Can’t Solve It
In life, we will inevitably face a problem which we do not possess the earthly power to solve. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we discard assumptions, lean into the uncomfortable, and humble ourselves, we make room for God to work in the supernatural.
The Happiness Switch
Despite what the world may teach, enjoyment is a gift that comes directly from God and is not contingent on our circumstances. Pastor Carolyn Haas teaches us that our souls must first have the integrity to handle the weight of our dreams, and then God will be faithful in pouring our wisdom, knowledge, and happiness.
For the Youth
We believe that the youth of today are not the next generation, but the now generation. Pastor Daniel sits down with youth leaders Aaron Judkins, Lexi Maynor, and Dakari Rollins to discuss the trials this generation faces and how getting planted in the house of the Lord will ultimately help even the fiercest of life’s storms.
See a Need, Meet a Need
The local church is the hope of the world, and there is need in our communities that we are called to provide for. Pastor Tammie Floyd teaches us how we are called to give joyfully, sacrificially, and willingly as we count it a privilege to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our world.
The Right Question
Life is full of important questions, and one of the most important questions for the believer is, “What more can I do?” Pastor Daniel teaches us that in response to the hurting world around us, we are called to be difference makers.
Where Do We Go From Here?
The book of Proverbs offers sound wisdom for the believer, but sometimes we can feel overwhelmed with where to go and what to do with the wisdom God offers us through His word. Berchman Paul teaches us that through godly attention, humility, and alignment with God’s will, we move forward in a way that honors the Lord and brings peace to those around us.
I Pity the Fool | Pastor Stu Hodges
All of us have experienced being foolish at some point in our lives, but there is a better way to live! Pastor Stu Hodges shows us that dependence gives directions, and when we depend on God, He guides us on the path of wisdom.
I'm Built Different | Pastor TJ Williams
We have an enemy of our souls. That enemy is the devil, who is a liar that tells us we are average and common. Pastor TJ Williams, Lifepoint Spotsylvania campus, reminds us that God calls us peculiar, which means different, distinct, and separate. We are His children, His workmanship, created with a purpose. Pastor TJ describes several ways we can be different and build a faith that will withstand whatever obstacles we might face.
A Firm Foundation
C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less.” In today’s sermon, Bethany Ufema, Senior Messaging Director, teaches about building our lives on a healthy fear of God. This creates a firm foundation for our lives based on wisdom and humility.
How Do I Guard My Heart?
Our heart controls our actions, and so guarding our heart is vital in our walk with Christ. Pastor Josh Surratt shows us how to do that through controlling our tongue, fixing our eyes on Jesus, and paying attention to where our steps take us.
Sons & Daughters
We can express gratitude while in a mess without giving thanks for a mess. Some messes become a yoke and do not allow us to live from a place of rest and peace, but there is hope in Jesus. During the mess, how deeply will you choose to trust God and follow Him? The answer is to choose to get low in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The Prayer of Faith
Habits can be negative or positive, but faith is the most powerful habit we can build. Pastor Daniel teaches us that through the Word of God and determination, we can experience faith with the power to do the supernatural.
Sufficient Grace
When heartache arises, God’s grace is always sufficient for us. Pastor Tammie interviews three women who, through sharing their incredible stories, reveal just how amazing God’s grace really is.
The Bigger Picture
Life on earth can feel all-consuming, but as believers we know our hope lies in the future. Pastor Daniel teaches us how to shift our thoughts and live in a way that is truly eternity-minded.
Genuine Faith
God has called us to a life of genuine faith; one that steps out in obedience even when the flesh doesn’t want to. Pastor Daniel explains that a genuine faith will step out and stand out, and ultimately work out as we live the faith-filled lives God desires for us.
