Christmas At LifePoint | God Showed His Love Like This...

This Christmas sermon celebrates the truth that God entered a chaotic and broken world through Jesus, offering Himself as the greatest gift to people who were once separated from Him. It proclaims that Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us—who came not only to save us from sin but to walk with us, restore relationship, and lovingly rule our lives. The message calls each person to receive God’s gift of salvation and respond by giving their whole life back to Him in worship and obedience.

Joy Has Come to Change Us ( Luke 2, Matthew 2 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

This sermon celebrates the third week of Advent by focusing on the theme of joy, teaching that true joy is not based on circumstances but on God’s presence with us through Jesus Christ.

Peace of God, Peace With God ( Luke 2.22-33 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette

Using Simeon’s encounter with the infant Jesus in Luke 2, Pastor Mike highlights that real peace comes from knowing Christ personally—not from behavior, circumstances, or self-justification. Jesus brings peace for our past through forgiveness, peace in our present through His presence in life’s storms, and peace for our future through the assurance of eternal life. The message concludes by urging believers to seek God first, pray continually, and trust Him in order to walk in His lasting peace.

Build for God and Act Like It! ( Nehemiah 5-6.14 ) | Pastor Mike Burnette
