    Jesus Said to Watch Out for This Sin! | Live Free with Pastor Josh Howerton

    What really controls your heart? Greed is a sneaky sin—easily overlooked but quietly shaping our decisions, desires, and relationships. Pastor Josh Howerton, Tim Smith, and Chris Burkley explore the story of Achan in Joshua 7, showing how unchecked greed led to devastating consequences—not just for him, but for his entire community. Nobody sins in isolation—our choices impact our relationships and beyond.   They discuss how greed distorts wisdom, how the fear of the Lord leads to true perspective, and how culture pulls our hearts in different directions. They also touch on Elon Musk and the ongoing USAID debate, highlighting how faith intersects with real-world issues. Plus, they share personal stories of trusting God with finances, the principle of first fruits, and practical ways to teach generosity. If you’ve wrestled with the tension between financial security and faith, this conversation will challenge you to live with open hands and a heart that fully trusts in God’s provision.       👇 DON’T MISS OUT! 💍 Marriage Weekend: Invest in your relationship during our services on Feb 22 & 23.

    Why Envy is Ruining Your Relationships (And How to Fix It) | Pastor Mike Breaux

    Ever feel like comparison is stealing your joy? It might be time to fight back.    In this conversation with hosts Mike Breaux, Chris Kuti, and Marc McCartney, we unpack how to find encouragement and speak life over others, even when envy tries to creep in.    Learn how gratitude and generosity can break the cycle of entitlement and competition, especially when it comes to money and success. Social media can shape our faith—for better or worse—so how do we navigate it in a way that fuels contentment instead of comparison? Plus, we’ll dive into the power of community, accountability, and celebrating others as we build stronger relationships. Let’s stop measuring ourselves against others and start living free!     👇 DON’T MISS OUT! 💍 Marriage Weekend: Invest in your relationship during our services on Feb 22 & 23.

    How to Kill the Sin of Pride | Pastor Josh Howerton

    Have you ever thought about how pride can quietly ruin our lives and relationships? In the first episode of the Live Free with Josh Howerton Podcast, we dive into the effects of pride and humility, kicking off the Kingslayers sermon series.   We start by reflecting on the powerful moments from a recent Night of Prayer and Worship at Lakepointe Church, where we saw God move in amazing ways. This sets the tone for our discussion, where we look at Nebuchadnezzar's story in Daniel 4 and how pride brought him down. We talk about how pride is the ultimate "Kingslayer" and how it’s just as dangerous for us today.   Along the way, we discuss how pride plays a role in marriage, entitlement, and even anxiety. We explore how these issues can stem from a sense of self-importance and how humility can transform our relationships and mental well-being. Throughout the episode, we offer practical ways to fight pride, focusing on gratitude, humility, and spiritual practices like prayer and worship. We also highlight the importance of community, service, and having a servant’s heart—just like Jesus did.   By the end of the episode, we hope you'll be inspired to embrace humility, experience true freedom, and connect with the Lakepointe community.
