THE POINT EXISTS TO WELCOME THE UNCHURCHED TO BECOME FULLY DEVOTED FOLLOWERS OF JESUS. 

Pointing People to God  

Pointing People to Jesus  

Pointing People to Community 

A church characterized by Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness.

MOSES IS A FORESHADOWING OF JESUS.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT ABOUT OBEYING GOD SO THAT HE WILL LOVE YOU. THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE ABOUT HIM ALREADY LOVING YOU AND HELPING YOU TO LIVE FREELY.

Exodus 20:1–2, “And God spoke all these words, saying, “I’m the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” 

COMMANDMENTS, LAWS, OR RULES ARE DIFFERENT WHEN THEY COME FROM A FATHER RATHER THAN FROM A DICTATOR. 

Matthew 5:17, “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.” 

THE LAW IS ABOUT JESUS.

Exodus 20:3, Commandment 1 “You shall have no other gods before me.” 

YOU CAN’T LIVE FREE UNTIL YOU REALIZE THERE’S ONLY ONE GOD, AND YOU’RE NOT GOD.
