    It Was Never About the Whale | Jonah | The Voice

    You think you know Jonah — the prophet, the storm, the whale. But this week's message adds one word that changes the whole story: disobedience. In this episode of Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church, part of our series The Voice on the minor prophets, we walk through the book of Jonah and find a man who heard God clearly and ran the other way, a God whose mercy was bigger than his enemies, and a question that lands on all of us: will we obey, or will we run? Wherever you're listening from, there's a next step here for you. Show notes: Why "minor prophet" doesn't mean minor impact"Jonah + disobedience = whale" — the reframe that reshapes the storyThe calling Jonah didn't want, and why he ran (Jonah 1:1–3)How God used even Jonah's disobedience to bring the sailors to worship (Jonah 1:15–16)The honest prayer from inside the fish (Jonah 2:2–3)Nineveh repents — and Jonah sulks (Jonah 4:1–11)"Where are your priorities?" — God's closing questionAvoidance vs. obedience, and the excuses we baptize in Christian languageScripture referenced: Jeremiah 29:11 · Isaiah 30:21 · Jonah 1, 2 & 4 Next steps this week: Identify the calling — ask the Holy Spirit if there's something you've been avoiding.Repent honestly — confess the resistance; ask for a willing heart.Take one obedient step — make the call, release the control, say yes.Connect with Grand Point Church:  🌐 Website: www.grandpoint.church  📸 Instagram: @grandpointchurch  👍 Facebook: /grandpointchurch  ▶️ YouTube: Grand Point Church Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextsteps Watch online on YouTube Follow us on Facebook and Instagram Sign up for our free weekly newsletter

    Can You Hear Him? | Micah | The Voice

    God is still speaking — but pride, fear, and bitterness can fill the line with static. In this week's message from our summer series The Voice, Pastor Lawrence walks through the book of Micah, an Old Testament courtroom drama where God takes the bench as Judge, His people stand as the defendants, and the verdict bends toward mercy. We'll meet a small-town prophet with a nation-sized message, name the three barriers that keep us from hearing God's voice, and land on one of the most famous summaries of faith in all of Scripture: "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). It's a message about getting the static out — and rediscovering the God who casts our sins into the depths of the sea. In this episode: Why we're drawn to courtroom drama — and how Micah reads like oneThe truth that God is a speaking God who wants real conversation with youThe three barriers to hearing God: pride, fear, and bitternessWhy "resentment is a self-inflicted wound" — and how to let it go (James 1:21)The difference between hearing what we want and what we needMicah 6:8 and what God actually requires of usThe hope of Micah 7:18 — the God who pardons sinNext steps this week: 👉 Pick one barrier — pride, fear, or bitterness — and take one honest step to clear it. If it's bitterness, name the hurt and choose to release it this week.🙏 Need prayer or want to take a next step in faith?

    When the Spotlight Turns | Amos | The Voice

    Everybody's an expert on what's wrong with the world — but Amos had a harder question. In week 3 of The Voice, our summer series through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Lawrence introduces us to Amos: a shepherd and fig farmer with no prophetic pedigree, called by God to confront a prosperous, comfortable people who loved hearing about everyone else's failures. When Amos turned the spotlight around, his message stopped being popular — and started getting personal. This week, sit with the question Amos leaves for all of us: if someone learned about God only by watching your life, what would they learn? Show Notes: Why God sends "warnings" — and the people He uses to deliver themAmos the unlikely prophet: a farmer, not a professional (Amos 7:14)How God uses ordinary people whose hearts are turned toward HimA warning delivered in a season of peace and prosperity (~800 BC, Jeroboam II)The "for three sins, even for four" pattern — and why the crowd cheeredThe turn: when Amos named the sins of God's own people (Amos 2:6)Justice for the poor, compromise, and worship without the heart (Isaiah 29:13)Living in the world but not of it (1 John 2:15)Scripture: Amos 1–4; 7:14; Acts 2:44–45; 1 John 2:15; Isaiah 29:13; Leviticus 20:26Next Steps: Reflect this week: what would people learn about God by watching your life?Pick one area — words, relationships, work, generosity — to live "set apart" this weekNew here or ready to take a next step?

    Bought Back: The Scandalous Love of God | Hosea | The Voice

    What if the messiest love story in the Bible is actually the clearest picture of how God loves you? This week on The Voice, we open the book of Hosea — the prophet God asked to marry, lose, and then buy back an unfaithful wife. It's a living portrait of relentless, pursuing love that points all the way to the cross. We'll talk about spiritual adultery, the cost of being purchased back, and why no one is ever beyond God's reach. Listen in, stick around for next steps, and be encouraged. Show Notes: Series: The Voice — a summer walk through the Minor ProphetsThis week's book: Hosea, the oldest of "the 12"Big idea: God has set His love on you, and that love cost Him everything.Two truths about God's love:He has set His love on you — He will not let you go (Hosea 11:8)It cost Him everything — Hosea bought Gomer back; God bought us back (Hosea 3:2)Key idea: Spiritual adultery is letting anything take the place God belongs in — revealed by where we turn when we're afraid, stressed, or worried about the future.Quotes worth remembering:"The affections of a man cannot be idle; if they do not go out to God, they leak out to worldly things." — A.W. Pink"The pursuing love of God is the greatest wonder in the spiritual universe." — Donald Grey Barnhouse"'Them' always has the potential to be 'us.'"Scripture: Hosea 1:2 · 2:5 · 3:1 · 3:2 · 5:13 · 11:8 (NLT) Next Steps: Respond. A simple prayer of surrender, right where you are, is enough to begin.Connect. New or exploring faith? We'd love to meet you — start at grandpoint.church.Go deeper.

    Joel: From Horror to Hope | The Voice

    The Book of Joel reads almost like a horror story — round after round of locusts stripping the land bare. But it doesn't end that way. In this episode, we launch The Voice, our summer series through the Minor Prophets, with a message on the Book of Joel called "From Horror to Hope." We walk through the locust plague as a divine wake-up call, the urgency of the "Day of the Lord," the beautiful invitation to "return to me with all your heart," and God's stunning promise: "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten" (Joel 2:25). Along the way we ask the question Joel forces on every generation — what would it take for God to wake you up? — and we land on the hope that holds it all together: a God who came to dwell with us in Jesus. Whether you're walking through a season that feels like a nightmare or simply longing for an awakening, this message is an invitation to wake up, return, and let God make all things new. Show Notes Scripture referenced: Joel 1:1–14 — the locusts and the call to wake upJoel 2:1, 11 — the Day of the LordJoel 2:12–17 — "Even now… return to me with all your heart"Joel 2:13 — "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger" (cf. Exodus 34:6)Joel 2:18, 25 — God's pity and restorationJoel 2:28–32 — the Spirit poured out on all peopleJoel 3:21 — "The Lord dwells in Zion"2 Corinthians 6:2; Acts 2; John 1:14; Revelation 21Key takeaways: The minor prophets were minor in size, major in message — and the voice behind them is God's.The "locusts" in our lives can be a wake-up call; awakenings begin when we stop pretending everything is fine.Repentance is rending the heart, not the garments — returning to God honestly and completely.God restores not only what was lost, but the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).Repentance and revival belong together. There's no lasting revival without real repentance.Notable quote: "The locusts don't get the final word. God does." Next Steps (Highlight in the Episode) Respond: Is God using something in your life to wake you up? Don't ignore it — bring it to Him this week.Pray: Need prayer?

    If God Is For Us | Romans 8:31–39 | The Gospel

    Romans 8 ends with some of the most quoted verses in the entire Bible — but familiarity doesn't always mean understanding. In this week's message, we take a close, honest look at what Paul actually means when he writes that "all things work together for good" and what it truly looks like to be "more than conquerors." We sit with the gap between the promises we hold and the circumstances we live — and discover that the problem isn't the promise. It's the definition of good we've been working from. 📖 Scripture: Romans 8:28–39 (NIV) Topics covered this week: Why Romans 8:28 can feel hollow in hard seasons — and what we're missingThe difference between your expected outcome and God's intended purposeRomans 8:29–30: what it means to be predestined to be conformed to the image of ChristWhy your salvation is also what the world needs from youRomans 8:31–34: If God is for us — who can stand against us?The connection between Psalm 44's lament and Romans 8's answerWhat "more than conquerors" actually means for how you live todayRomans 8:38–39: the complete and final answer to everything that tries to separate you from God's loveNext Steps: Take a moment this week to identify one area of your life where you've been living in a "Psalm 44 season" — and write down Romans 8:37 as a declaration over it.Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that nothing can separate them from God's love.Continue the study: Read Romans 8:28–39 each day this week and ask God to show you the difference between your expected outcome and his intended purpose.Join us in person or online this weekend at Grand Point Church.

    More Than a Conqueror | Romans 8:1-30 | The Gospel

    Romans 8 is a chapter worth reading slowly — and this week's message gives you every reason to do exactly that. Pastor Lawrence walks through Romans 8:1-30, unpacking the two great promises that anchor the chapter: no condemnation at the start, and no separation at the end. Between those bookends is a rich portrait of the Holy Spirit's work in the life of a believer — giving life, transforming the mind, testifying to our identity as children of God, and even interceding in prayer when we don't have the words. This is a message about freedom that goes beyond forgiveness. It's about who you are, not just what you've been saved from. In this episode: The legal meaning of "condemnation" — and why it's been erased for those in ChristWhy the comma vs. period in Romans 8:1 changes everythingThe Holy Spirit's role in winning the war withinWhat "adoption" as a child of God actually means for how you liveRomans 8:28 and the redemption of regretKey Scriptures: Romans 8:1-30 | Romans 7:22-25 | John 3:17-18 | 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 | Philippians 4:8-9 Next Steps: If you want to take a next step in your faith, we'd love to connect with you.
