    Jesus is...The Good Shepherd with Pastor Eddie Cole

    What makes Jesus the Good Shepherd—and what does that mean for your life today? In this message from John chapter 10, Pastor Eddie Cole unpacks how Jesus gathers His sheep, protects them from danger, provides for their needs, and leads them into abundant life. With heartfelt stories and practical truth, he reminds us that Jesus isn’t distant—He’s personal. He knows your name, He speaks to you, and He calls you to follow His voice. Whether you’ve wandered or just need to be reminded that you’re seen and loved, this message will encourage you to draw close to the Shepherd who still speaks today.

  2. Build and Battle with Pastor Eddie Cole

    9 AUG

    Build and Battle with Pastor Eddie Cole

    What if the opposition you're facing isn't a sign that you're off track, but proof that you're exactly where God wants you? In "Build and Battle," our pastor takes us to Nehemiah chapter 4 to reveal a crucial truth every believer must understand: when God calls us to build something significant—our faith, our family, our ministry—we must be prepared to fight for it. Just as Nehemiah's workers rebuilt Jerusalem's walls with tools in one hand and weapons in the other, we too must learn to build and battle simultaneously. This message unpacks three essential insights for spiritual warfare: Expect the Battle: Using relatable illustrations from IKEA furniture assembly and home improvement disasters, our pastor explains why having realistic expectations is crucial. When you give your heart to Jesus or make a serious commitment to follow Him, you're not entering a field of tulips—you're entering a spiritual battlefield. The enemy will show up, but that's often confirmation you're moving in the right direction. Expose the Enemy: Drawing from John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:8, and Ephesians 6, the message reveals Satan's three primary targets: the worship of God, the Word of God, and the work of God. The enemy uses intimidation, accusation, and comparison to try to stop what God is building through you. Understanding his tactics helps us recognize and resist his attacks. Apply Your Armor: The sermon concludes with practical teaching on Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. As our pastor powerfully states, "Armor is not to be put on display—it's to be deployed into battle because it's no good in a museum. It's only good if you're on the battlefield." Throughout the message, our pastor shares vulnerable moments from his own marriage and ministry, acknowledging that spiritual warfare affects everyone—even pastors. He reminds us that we're not fighting for victory but from victory, since Jesus has already won the ultimate battle at the cross. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by opposition in your personal life, struggling to build a godly family, or sensing spiritual attack in your ministry, this message will equip you with both encouragement and practical tools. You'll learn why the battle is actually evidence of your spiritual progress and how to stand strong when the enemy tries to discourage you. The message includes a powerful call to salvation and an invitation for believers to recommit to their calling, reminding us that we are "more than conquerors through Christ Jesus our Lord." If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person! We meet every Sunday at 10am at 600 Jarman Rd.

  3. God Will Build This House Part 2

    31 JUL

    God Will Build This House Part 2

    What does it look like when God builds a church instead of people trying to build it through programs, personalities, or human effort? In "God Will Build This Church - Part 2," our pastor takes us to Acts 4:32-37 to witness the early church operating out of pure grace just after Peter and John's arrest for preaching about Jesus. What we discover is a community so transformed by the resurrection message and the Holy Spirit's power that their lives became irresistible testimonies to God's goodness. This message unveils three characteristics of a grace-overflowing church: Unified Hearts: When grace flows, it breaks down every wall that normally divides us—political affiliations, sports teams, backgrounds, and even past sins. As our pastor powerfully illustrates, "It takes the same blood of Jesus to save the kid brought up in church and the person from the Mafia, and it brings them together as brothers and sisters at the table of God." Open Hands: Nobody told the early believers to sell their possessions and share with those in need—they just did it out of overflowing hearts. The message explores how genuine generosity flows naturally from grace, not guilt or manipulation. Met Needs: The result was supernatural—there were literally no needy people among them because the community was so committed to caring for one another. The sermon includes a deeply personal and vulnerable testimony from our pastor about a recent act of radical generosity that brought unexpected joy and spiritual breakthrough. He shares how selling a piece of land and giving $100,000 to the church wasn't about obligation but about experiencing the freedom that comes from giving God complete access to every area of life. Throughout the message, we're challenged to move beyond keeping Jesus in the "living room" of our lives and instead hand Him the keys to everything—our closets, our budgets, our entertainment choices, and our deepest priorities. As the pastor explains, "If there is a God who can craft such a plan for salvation, why in the world would we not give Him everything we have?" Whether you're a longtime believer feeling stuck in spiritual routine or someone just beginning to explore faith, this message will inspire you to experience the joy and power that come from living with completely open hands before God. If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person! We meet every Sunday at 10am at 600 Jarman Rd. Chesapeake, Virginia, where you'll experience authentic worship, biblical teaching, and genuine community. Learn more at lifepointhamptonroads.org, including directions and ways to get connected!

  4. These Stones Speak - Pastor Eddie Cole

    28 MAY

    These Stones Speak - Pastor Eddie Cole

    What if the key to unshakeable faith isn't found in looking ahead to what God might do, but in looking back at what He has already done? In "Stones That Speak," our pastor takes us to Joshua chapter 4, where God commands the Israelites to create a memorial from stones taken from the middle of the Jordan River—the very spot where God miraculously stopped the waters for nearly 2 million people to cross on dry ground. This wasn't just a nice tradition; it was a divine strategy for building faith across generations. This Memorial Day weekend message unpacks three essential principles for spiritual growth: Remember What God Has Done: Just as Americans honor fallen soldiers with monuments, we must be intentional about remembering God's faithfulness. Our pastor shares practical ways to create "stones" in our own lives—through journaling, marking significant moments, and recording answered prayers. As he powerfully states, "God's faithfulness in the past is the best encouragement you have of His future faithfulness." Move Forward with Bold Faith: The miracle at Jordan didn't happen until the priests carrying the ark actually stepped into the rushing waters. This teaches us a crucial truth: "God honors intentions, but He blesses actions." Faith requires movement from intention to action, even when we can't see the whole staircase ahead. Celebrate the God Who Still Moves: The stones weren't just personal reminders—they were testimonies to the world of God's power. When we openly celebrate what God has done, we naturally evangelize. The message includes a beautiful story of a woman at AT&T whose simple, joyful testimony blessed everyone around her. Throughout the sermon, our pastor shares personal examples—from his collection of journals spanning decades to challenge coins that mark significant moments of God's faithfulness. He reminds us that these "stones" aren't just for us, but for future generations who need to know that God is still faithful, still powerful, and still moving today. Whether you're struggling to remember God's goodness in difficult times or need encouragement to step out in faith, this message will inspire you to create tangible reminders of God's faithfulness and share them boldly with others. If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person! We meet every Sunday at 10am at 600 Jarman Rd. Chesapeake, Virginia, where you'll experience authentic worship, biblical teaching, and genuine community. Learn more at lifepointhamptonroads.org, including directions and ways to get connected!

    God's Anointed - Pastor Eddie Cole

    What if the most powerful force for God's kingdom isn't found in pulpits or spotlights, but in ordinary people who simply make themselves available to Him? In "God's Anointed," our pastor takes us through the remarkable story of David's anointing in 1 Samuel 16, revealing how God's selection process differs radically from our human tendencies. While Israel wanted a king who looked impressive on the outside (like Saul), God sought someone with the right heart—even if that meant choosing the youngest son who wasn't even invited to the selection ceremony. This message unpacks three life-changing principles that apply directly to believers today: First, God looks beyond the surface. While people focus on outward appearances, God examines our hearts. This truth challenges us to prioritize spiritual heart health over external qualifications or appearances. As our pastor asks, "How's your heart today?" The invitation is to regularly ask the Great Physician for a spiritual heart checkup. Second, God chooses the unexpected. Through compelling examples—from Augustine's mother Monica to D.L. Moody the shoe salesman to an unnamed country deacon who led Charles Spurgeon to Christ—we see how God consistently works through unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary things. This truth offers profound encouragement for anyone who feels inadequate or overlooked. Finally, God anoints those with a heart for Him. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, we discover that every believer has been marked, sealed, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This anointing isn't reserved for pastors or leaders—it's for every follower of Jesus who enters spaces no one else can access. Whether you're a parent, military personnel, student, or professional feeling ordinary and unremarkable, this message will remind you that you have "royal blood running through your veins." Listen now and discover how to walk confidently yet humbly as God's anointed in your everyday life! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person!

  6. A Precious Faith - Mother's Day - Pastor Eddie Cole

    12 MAY

    A Precious Faith - Mother's Day - Pastor Eddie Cole

    What legacy are you passing on to those around you? In this Mother's Day message, "A Precious Faith," our pastor explores the powerful spiritual inheritance described in 2 Timothy 1:5, where Paul reminds a discouraged young pastor about the authentic faith that was first evident in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice before taking root in Timothy himself. Set against the backdrop of Paul's final letter—written from prison as he faced execution—this message unpacks what it means to have "sincere faith." In the ancient world, the term referred to pottery without cracks or hidden repairs that would be revealed when held up to the sunlight. Similarly, authentic faith isn't something we put on for Sunday mornings but remains consistent throughout our daily lives. The sermon highlights four key characteristics of godly influence: First, godly women (and men) plant seeds—often without seeing the harvest in their lifetime. Timothy's mother and grandmother faithfully taught him Scripture from infancy, despite living in a spiritually divided home where his father wasn't a believer. Second, they stand strong amid opposition and discouragement. Just as Timothy faced false teachers and division in Ephesus, his mother and grandmother had persevered in their faith without much external support. Third, they shape the future through consistent spiritual investment. Every bedtime prayer, worship song, and Scripture shared becomes a seed planted in someone's heart. Finally, they leave a legacy that isn't about being remembered but about what others receive—a sincere faith in Jesus Christ that can be passed down for generations. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or someone who influences others spiritually, this message will encourage you to continue sowing seeds of faith, even when you don't immediately see the results. Listen now and be inspired to cultivate a precious faith worth passing on! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person! We meet every Sunday at 10am at 600 Jarman Rd.

  7. Tasting Heaven, Touching Earth - Pastor Eddie Cole

    Tasting Heaven, Touching Earth - Pastor Eddie Cole

    What if thinking more about heaven actually made you more effective on earth? In "Tasting Heaven Touching Earth," our pastor challenges the common notion that being "so heavenly minded means you're no earthly good." Drawing from Jesus' words in John 14, this message reveals how our perspective on eternity directly impacts our present reality. After Easter's celebration of Christ's resurrection, we're invited to consider what Jesus told His disciples before His crucifixion. Using the cultural context of ancient Near Eastern marriage customs, our pastor unpacks Jesus' promise: "In my Father's house are many rooms... I am going to prepare a place for you." This isn't just poetic language—it's a bridegroom's covenant promise to return for His bride. Three transformative truths emerge from this teaching: First, heaven is a real place—not a mystical concept or state of mind. The Book of Revelation gives us glimpses of its diverse people, God's tangible presence, perfect peace, unimaginable beauty, and eternal provision. When we truly grasp heaven's reality, our hearts are stirred with hope that transcends temporary struggles. Second, thinking about heaven provokes our witness. When we're anchored in eternal perspective, we naturally want others to experience this hope. As Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," we become agents of bringing heaven's reality into our daily interactions. Finally, an eternal perspective fuels our service. When ministry becomes exhausting or discouragement sets in, remembering our eternal destination renews our strength and purpose. Whether you're facing uncertainty, grief, or simply feeling spiritually drained, this message offers a refreshing reminder that fixing our eyes on heaven doesn't make us escape reality—it equips us to transform it. Listen now and discover how tasting heaven can help you touch earth with greater purpose! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person!

  8. Easter Sunday - Expect to Rise - Pastor Eddie Cole

    24 APR

    Easter Sunday - Expect to Rise - Pastor Eddie Cole

    What happens when your faith collides with your reality? When you believe in God but can no longer expect Him to show up in your situation? In this powerful Easter message, "Expect to Rise," Pastor Eddie Cole explores the profound truth found in four simple words spoken at the empty tomb: "just as He said." Those women who approached Jesus' tomb that first Easter morning weren't expecting a miracle. They came carrying spices to preserve a dead body, their hopes buried alongside their Lord. But instead of finding death, they encountered life and a gentle reminder that Jesus had been telling them all along what would happen. Through the parallel stories of Lazarus' resurrection and Jesus' own triumph over death, Pastor Eddie reveals three life-changing principles: First, we must receive God's Word if we expect to rise. While the world bombards us with voices and opinions, only Jesus' words carry resurrection power. Are you truly listening to what He's saying, or are you allowing other voices to drown Him out? Second, we must respond in faith. It's not enough to hear God's voice - we must act on what He says. Like Lazarus who had to shuffle his way out of the tomb when Jesus called, our faith requires movement. Pastor Eddie vulnerably shares how God led their church to their current location through a series of confirmations that required them to step out in faith beyond their comfort zone. Finally, we must rise with purpose. Your miracle becomes your testimony, and God wants to use your resurrection story to bring hope to others who are still trapped in their tombs of despair, addiction, grief, shame, or fear. Whether you're struggling with anger, bitterness, addiction, grief, or shame, this message reminds us that what feels terminal to us is only temporary with Jesus. Listen now and discover how the empty tomb can transform your empty expectations into living hope! If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us in person!
