Lakepoint Church with Brian Hofmeister Lakepoint Church, Muskego WI

The scripture that we study is over 2,000 years old, and we often find ourselves either confused or glossing over references to ancient ideas or practices. This week, Pastor Brian tackles a topic that makes everyone a little uncomfortable, circumcision. It's mentioned a LOT in our Holy Scriptures, and many of us would have a hard time explaining why. This explanation also led us to talk about the mission-critical topic of baptism. Both are distinctives, both are metaphors and both are importa...

This message, although it was sketched out months ago, before we made plans to celebrate high school graduates, was the perfect send-off, the perfect charge for a whole bunch of budding adults.
