Lifepointe Kansas City

Whether you love it or you simply endure the discomfort of it, Valentine’s Day is upon us. Maybe you are a romantic with high expectations for feelings of love, big moments, expensive restaurants, unique gifts, and a special connection. Maybe you have a history of disillusionment as the holiday never rises to your hopes and dreams. Or maybe you are unattached, and the day reminds you of enchantment you don't have. For many people Valentine’s Day is filled with pressure to BE, to PERFORM, or to ACCOMPLISH. So this year at LifePointe Church, Pastor Patrick will explore possibilities to make the day special without all the pressure. How to Have a Great Valentines Date! [Or Hang Time with Friends] is about connection, community, and heart-to-heart lean-ins, without all the commercialized trappings. We will talk through shared expectations and we will give tools for seeing and being seen, knowing and being known, and celebrating and being celebrated. Whether you are married or unmarried, attached or unattached, th

We are designed to live as champions, kings, and bearers of God’s own image. God designed us for specific standards of thinking, believing, and acting. How we think will determine where we go in our lives and our callings. Jesus strongly condemned some thoughts as demonically inspired. We are admonished throughout scripture to take every thought captive, to cast down imaginations, and to contrast our spiritual mind and our carnal mind, lest we pursue empty desires of the flesh and mind and ultimately be given to a spirit of fear rather than a sound mind. To experience the abundant life that Jesus has given us—in our marriages, parenting, emotions, finances, vocations, and relationships—we have to think right, believe right, and live right. In this series we will explore the power of God’s Word, the help of the Holy Spirit, commitment to change, and how to close the gap between God’s standards for our thinking and our actual thinking. You don’t want to miss an episode. “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is

Are you facing post-election panic? Maybe your candidate won or is winning. Maybe your candidate lost or is losing. Maybe you wonder if justice is real, or if you are in danger of looming threats. Today’s political warring with the backdrop of a global pandemic, intensified racial tensions, international conflicts with China and Russia, and the uncertainty of tomorrow can generate high levels of stress, and ultimately panic. In this message Patrick walks through the science behind fear, anxiety, and panic. He shares his own brutal struggles with panic attacks. The knowledge, biblical understanding, and tools he shares in this message have helped him live in freedom for many years, and it will be a huge support to anyone who struggles today. Join us this Sunday as we talk through “POLITICS: FACING POST-ELECTION PANIC.”

Politics. Church. State. Social issues. Hot topics. How do you as a Christian give love, respect, and honor to those in a diverse community of faith who see the world differently? How do you deal with theologians that use Scriptures to “prove” opposing positions? What does the "separation of church and state" even mean? This series will not tell you how to vote; it will give Scriptural emphasis, encourage all decisions to be made from a Biblical literacy foundation, and help you know why you vote the way you vote. Topic covered may include nationalism, immigration, socialism, capitalism, critical theory, healthcare, abortion, environmentalism, Israel, government, laws, police, the questionable character of national leaders, and a whole lot more. Be prepared to find insights that galvanize your previous position on some topics, while being challenged to see other topics in a new way. In the end, we will love and celebrate God’s grace over us all!
