August 31, 2025 - Pastor James
Pastor James Harasimowicz of The Point Church calls believers to walk in humility and surrender so that God’s living water can flow freely through their lives. Drawing from Proverbs, Ezekiel’s vision of the river, and the story of Nebuchadnezzar, Pastor James urges the church to reject pride, remain spiritually vigilant, and embrace their identity as vessels carrying God’s presence into spiritually barren places. He highlights the examples of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as models of steadfast faith and concludes with a call to let Christ’s life be seen through each believer’s daily dependence on the Holy Spirit.
Scripture summaries from NIV:
* Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” arrogance leads to downfall, warning believers that pride separates them from God’s guidance and protection.
* Ezekiel 47:1–12 – The river from the temple. Ezekiel sees water flowing from the temple, increasing in depth and bringing life wherever it goes—even turning the Dead Sea fresh—symbolizing the life-giving power of God’s Spirit.
* Daniel 1 – Daniel’s integrity in exile. Daniel and his friends refusing to defile themselves with Babylonian practices, showing God’s favor as He gives them wisdom and strength.
* Daniel 3 – The fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to worship Nebuchadnezzar’s image; in the NIV, God miraculously delivers them unharmed from the blazing furnace.
* Daniel 4 – Nebuchadnezzar’s humbling. Describes the king’s pride leading to his downfall and period of madness until he acknowledges God’s sovereignty, after which God restores him.
* Galatians 2:20 – Life in Christ. (NIV translation) “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me,” highlighting surrendered living empowered by Jesus.
* Lamentations 3:22–23 – God’s daily mercy. (NIV translation) assures that God’s compassions never fail and are “new every morning,” offering continual renewal and hope.

Pastor Brandi Harasimowicz encourages believers to embrace the abundant “Zoe” life that Jesus promised and reject every form of oppression, deception, and disappointment that the enemy uses to keep God’s people bound. Drawing from recent teachings within the church, she reminds listeners that they are “the ark of the covenant” — carriers of God’s law, provision, and authority — and must therefore live as citizens of heaven, sober-minded and vigilant against lies that intoxicate the soul. Pastor Beth teaches that disappointment, if left unchecked, becomes a stronghold that distorts perception, drains hope, and delays destiny. Through biblical examples, especially Moses’ forfeited promise due to frustration, she challenges the church to replace toxic thought patterns with divine truth, filter every trial through Christ’s victory, and step into the freedom and joy purchased by Jesus.

August 17, 2025 - Chase Harasimowicz
Chase Harasimowicz of The Point Church delivers a passionate message about surrendering control and trusting fully in God’s lordship. Drawing from Genesis, Proverbs, Romans, and the story of David, Chase confronts the human tendency to take control of life’s outcomes rather than submit to God’s will. Chase concludes that *true surrender* means submitting every decision — from the smallest to the life-changing — to God’s will. Our only real control lies in choosing to trust Him. Real success is not defined by status or power but by obedience and intimacy with Christ. He urges believers to abandon the illusion of control, embrace accountability, and practice daily surrender under the *lordship of Christ*, who alone has authority over every aspect of life.

Pastor Brandi Harasimowicz of The Point Church encourages believers to move beyond merely surviving spiritual opposition and to actively “occupy until He comes”. She emphasizes that the present season is one of divine shifting—a time when God is erasing the lines between earthly and heavenly realms. Pastor Brandi urges believers to recognize that their true citizenship is in heaven and to live as ambassadors of the Kingdom, empowered by the Holy Spirit to bring heaven’s order, truth, and transformation to earth. The call to “occupy” is not defensive—it’s an active mandate to engage in “kingdom business” through prayer, service, stewardship, and love. Heavenly citizenship grants access to divine resources—wisdom, healing, joy, and authority. Transformation happens through intimacy with God, not mere behavior modification. Kingdom living demands alignment with God’s Word, resisting worldly systems, and embracing a mindset of victory. Faithfulness in stewardship—spiritual, relational, and practical—prepares believers for the King’s return.
