Christ Point Events 

Dudes. We’re having breakfast together. I can’t think of a good reason not to come. See you Saturday, August 31st at Maple Street Biscuit Company at 7 am. If you have a teenage son, bring him.

Discover Christ Point is an opportunity for you to hear about our past, understand our present, and dream about our future. It’s an opportunity to enjoy a meal and for Pastor James to get to know you.  We’ll provide lunch. Kids are invited. Simply email james@christpoint.com and let him know you’re coming.

Tom Doyle of Uncharted Ministries will be with us September 8th. Tom Doyle fell in love with the Middle East on his first Bible tour of the Holy Land. In 1995 he became an official tour guide for the state of Israel and developed a passion for ministering to the Israeli people, Arabs and Jews alike. Tom and his wife, JoAnn, felt a call from God to full-time ministry there in 2001. In 2017 the Doyles launched Uncharted Ministries, which seeks to Inspire the Body of Christ to rise up join the new great awakening among Jews and Muslims in the Middle East and in uncharted territories around the world.

Tom and JoAnn began working in the heart of the Islamic world shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11. Tom and JoAnn serve in places like Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Palestinian territories of Israel. The Doyles lead groups to the Middle East through their Lands of the Bible tours. 

They believe women are equal in value in the kingdom of Christ. One of their ministries, Not Forgotten, focuses specifically on ministering and celebrating women, who are often overlooked or forgotten about in many cultures around the world.

They are training the next generation of missionaries through merging the “Great Commission and the Great Outdoors.” They are taking them where no other group goes to develop lasting ministry partnerships.

Tom is a master storyteller with several books highlighting God’s miraculous work among the Muslim people. His best-known books include Dreams and Visions, Killing Christians, and Standing in the Fire, which was a Finalist for the 2018 Book of the Year by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. https:// unchartedministries.com/

This year, Christ Point Women will be having a Fall Retreat on Friday, September 27th-Sunday, September 29th in beautiful Brevard, NC. We will be staying at Ridge Haven Retreat Center, in a large house which can accommodate up to 20 women. We will spend time together, time in God’s word, and time out in God’s creation. We will rest and exhale.

Our theme for the weekend will be ABIDE, and we will be studying John 15, which reminds us that true joy comes when we abide in the Lord and in His love. But more importantly, we will be reminded that the Lord abides in us and He is the One who produces fruit in us, for His glory.

The cost for this weekend will be $140 per person, which will cover lodging and meals, with the exception of dinner in Brevard on Saturday. Scholarships are available as needed. You can register now to reserve your spot, however, payment is not due until September 13. https://christpoint.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/276338

We’d like to invite the men to breakfast August 31st at Maple Street Biscuit Co. (7am). 

Our men’s Bible study will begin on Wednesdays starting September 4th (6am) at Maple Street Biscuit Co. We will be doing a study called the Grace of God and Flaws of Man: https://www.rightnowmedia.org/ Content/Series/319003

Mark your calendars for September 22. The men and high school guys are invited over to the Roe’s house for a BBQ lunch.

At Christ Point, we believe one of the ways we point people to Jesus is by experiencing authentic community. Small groups are one way of experiencing biblical community. We study the Word, pray, and share life together. The Christian life is not a solo sport, so we encourage our people to walk together in groups. For more information on how to plug into a small group this fall, please email james@christpoint.com. Currently, we have small groups that meet on Wednesday and Friday nights.

From cover to cover, the Bible is the story of God’s plan to redeem sinners through Jesus—the gospel. Gospel Foundations tells that story. From the creators of The Gospel Project, this is a one year journey through the storyline of Scripture. We will engage in discussion and gain a clear understanding of how each text fits into the storyline of Scripture. Join Russ LeJeune (russ.lejeune@gmail.com) in this adult group Sunday mornings.
