The Hustle

You’re probably familiar with the shell game. You know, the one where a con-artist on the street cheats you out of your money by moving the shells around while you’re trying to keep track of which shell has the ball under it. You think you have it figured out,but when the shell is lifted up, the ball is gone—and so is your money! Sometimes dealing with personal finances feels like that. We feel hustled—by trying to keep up with bills, expenses, taxes, even the Joneses! And it seems like the more we hustle to try to keep up, the more we get hustled! But there’s good news, God has a plan for your financial freedom—and we’re going to share it with you. Join us for a new series that’s guaranteed to help you keep your eye on the ball.


FOR

At NewPointe our goal is to create a church for people who don’t like church. We are bothered by the fact that many unchurched people are more familiar with what the church is against rather than what the church is for.

At NewPointe, we simply want to be known for what we are FOR. We are FOR families, couples, singles, students, and kids. We are FOR our communities.We are FOR Eastern Ohio. Simply put, we are FOR people. Why? Because God is FOR people. So we want the people in our communities, the people of Eastern Ohio to know that God is for them, and we are too. Join us for an important new series that will help each of us better understand who we’re FOR and how we can make a difference by living it out.

Series runs February 3-24.




My Big Fat Mouth

Open mouth . . . insert foot. Don’t we all wish we could avoid that scenario? Our words can get us into all kinds of trouble. But maybe we can learn to keep our big fat mouths in check.

socks & underwear

This Christmas we will all give gifts, and we will also receive some. But what is it that truly makes a great Christmas gift? When we hear the phrase "Socks & Underwear" around Christmas time, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For most of us, these are probably not gifts we would put on our wish list. We all know what it’s like to open a gift only to find that it’s something we don’t need—or even want. That’s the reason one in three of us will be returning at least one gift after Christmas. But what if the gift we really didn’t want or expect turned out to be the best gift ever? What if socks & underwear were the best thing that ever happened to you?

Join us for a very merry Christmas series. Series runs December 9, 16 & 24.

detox

When we experience internal chaos, something easy and external can seem like the quickest and easiest way to regain control of our lives. Our addictions vary in nature and severity. Whether it's drugs, food, sex, success, money, or even shopping, addictions have a negative impact on our health, our work, and especially our relationships. Though we may not be able to feel God’s presence during low times, there's a ton of hope for all kinds of addictions in His Word.


MIXTAPE

If you’ve ever thought things like this, we have something perfect for you: a MIXTAPE. Yep, a mixtape. The dictionary definition of a mixtape is this: a compilation of favorite pieces of music, typically by different artists, recorded onto a cassette tape or other media. At NewPointe, MIXTAPE is defined this way: a compilation of favorite biblical wisdom designed for anyone in a relationship, coming out of a relationship, or even wanting a relationship—a relational gamechanger.


CAN'T STOP. WON'T STOP.

We all experience adversity. We know what it is like to go through tough times. We hold on. We buckle down. And we try to ride the wave of bad fortune, hoping that somehow we'll make it out alive. In other words, we just do what it takes to survive.

But what if trials had the raw potential to change your life? What if the challenges you face are actually catalysts that increase your faith? What if you were designed to thrive in adversity, not merely “get by”? What if we changed our attitude and instead of merely trying to survive, we decided that we, no matter what, can’t stop—won’t stop!
