Show NotesMud Run: Episode 4, Strengthened by Trials - Pastor Rodney BistlineHost: Crystal StineWebsiteFacebookInstagramFeatured Verses: James 1:2-4 and  1 Peter 1:6-7ReflectIn your journal or with your small group, share about a moment in your life when “hindsight” revealed to you that what looked like something bad, actually turned out to be something good (e.g. losing a job led to something better; a setback in a relationship led to a deeper level of love and trust; the day your cat died your allergies improved; etc.). Trial will either devastate or deepen.

Featured Scripture: Acts 1:1-5; Acts 2:1-4; Ephesians 3:20-21Host: Crystal StineWebsiteFacebookInstagramToday’s message kicks off our most recent series called “Mud Run.” Throughout history God has offered strength to help people persevere through even the worst situations. This message series will identify where our strength lies to make it through the mayhem.ReflectTake a few minutes and read Acts 2:1-4. In this passage, Luke describes what took place when the Spirit would first be received by those early believers. We believe that each person receives the Holy Spirit at the point of Salvation and at that point has full access to His power and ability. What has been your experience as a Christian seeing the Holy Spirit move and act in and around you? Write down some examples or share with your Circle. Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

Featured Scripture: John 20:19-23Host: Crystal StineWebsiteFacebookInstagram Today’s message is about looking on the bright side when we have our doubts. Doubt is defined as “a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction.” This definition seems to totally contradict what we know, or have been taught about faith. Today’s message reveals that no matter how strong our faith is, at some point we may experience doubt. But instead of being a sign of weakness, doubt can actually be something that causes us to dig deeper into our relationship with God, and can even make our faith stronger.ReflectMany Christians who are very strong in their walk with God will point to the times that they had a crisis of faith or asked serious questions. Why do you think it works that way?How can doubt bring you closer to God? This week reflect on Psalm 10. What are some of the questions that David asked of God? What do you think after reading this Psalm, especially knowing that it was written by a man who truly loved God?Connect with

Featured Scripture: John 20:1-18Host: Crystal StineWebsiteFacebookInstagramToday’s message is about how darkness is limiting in so many ways, but perhaps near the top of the list is the fact that it limits us from seeing. And if “seeing is believing” that means darkness might even keep us from believing. What is true in the natural world is also true in the spiritual world. Today’s message is centered on pushing back the darkness and allowing us to see the bright side of the Easter story – the resurrected Christ.Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

Featured Scripture: John 12:9-16Host: Crystal StineWebsiteFacebookInstagramIn today’s message from the gospel of John we reach a turning point in the biography of Jesus. In John 12, the life of Jesus pivots from His public life to the events leading to His death on the cross. The final events in the life of Christ were not what His followers expected, but they were accomplishing what His followers needed. The reality is, Jesus is not the King we want, but He is the King we need!Have you ever been disappointed when someone or something didn’t live up to your expectations? According to Luke 9:51, why was Jesus going to Jerusalem? Read John 12:12-15: What were the expectations for Jesus at that time?What would you say is the typical mental image people have of Jesus? In other words, what do people expect of Him? Has there ever been a time you’ve expected something from God but didn’t receive it?In this message we learn that “Jesus is not the King we want; but He is the King we need.” How does that truth adjust t

How did you feel?Read John 11:1-44: What impacts you the most in this story?How do you think Mary and Martha felt when Jesus waited two days to go see Lazarus?How do you deal with waiting after you’ve prayed and asked God for something you know He’s capable of doing?
