God doesn’t need perfect people to accomplish His purposes. In this message, Pastor Dan looks at three moments from Acts that reveal imperfect faith, the danger of pride, and the importance of giving God the glory. From a church praying for Peter while struggling to believe their prayer had been answered, to Agrippa accepting praise that belonged to God, to Paul and Barnabas immediately redirecting worship toward the Lord, we’re reminded that what we know about God should change how we respond to Him.We don’t have to be perfect. We’re called to be faithful. And He alone deserves the glory.Camp Point AssemblyAug 30th, 2026Pastor Dan Smith
What do you do when the situation looks impossible and you feel completely helpless?In Acts 12, Peter sits chained between soldiers, awaiting what appears to be certain death. James has already been killed, Herod seems to have won, and there is nothing Peter can do to change his circumstances. Yet Peter sleeps in peace, the church prays earnestly, and God does what only God can do. The chains fall, the doors open, and Peter walks free. But this story also raises a difficult question: Why was Peter delivered while James was martyred? Faith doesn’t mean God always gives us the outcome we want. It means we remain faithful and trust His sovereignty even when we don’t understand His decisions. This message challenges us not to lose heart when our backs are against the wall. Pray. Invite others to pray with you. Trust God with what you cannot control. Because no matter how impossible the circumstances appear, God isn’t out of moves.

Jesus called His followers "the light of the world," but what does that look like for fathers today?In this special Father's Day message, we explore God's calling for men to be lights in a dark world—men who lead with courage, guide their families with wisdom, reveal truth through God's Word, and point others to Jesus Christ, the true Light of the World.Using the simple illustration of a headlamp, Pastor Dan shares how even one light can make a difference in overwhelming darkness. Fathers are challenged and encouraged to faithfully shine the light of Christ at home, in their workplaces, and throughout their communities.The message concludes with Communion, reminding us that while our strength may grow weary, Jesus is the eternal Light whose love and sacrifice give us life and hope.Scriptures Include:• Matthew 5:14–16• Joshua 24:14–15• Deuteronomy 6:6–9• Psalm 119:105• John 1:4–5• John 8:12• Philippians 2:15–16Whether you're a father, grandfather, mentor, or simply desire to shine the light of Christ more brightly, this message will encourage and equip you to be a beacon of hope in a world that desperately needs His light.Pastor Dan Smith JrCamp Point Assembly June 21st, 2026
When we think about sin, we usually think about the things we shouldn't do—lying, stealing, adultery, murder, and other obvious sins. But what about the sins we commit by doing... nothing?In James 4:17, we're reminded that "if anyone knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." This message explores the often-overlooked sins of omission—failing to share the Gospel, refusing to forgive, neglecting prayer, and ignoring the leading of the Holy Spirit.Following Jesus isn't just about avoiding evil; it's about actively obeying what God has called us to do. Join us as we discover how silent sins can quietly hinder our relationship with Christ and how God calls us back to a life of faithful obedience.Scripture: James 4:17Thank you for listening!

This week at Camp Point Assembly, we had the privilege of hosting one of the missionary families that we support serving in a closed country. Due to the sensitive nature of their ministry and the area they serve, we are unable to publicly share this week’s message.Instead, we are sharing a powerful sermon from March 5, 2023 titled “A God-Centered Faith Survives the Storm.”In this message, Pastor Dan walks through the incredible true story behind the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul” and the life of Horatio Spafford. Through unimaginable loss, tragedy, and trials, Spafford discovered the same truth Scripture teaches throughout the Bible: faith rooted in Christ can survive even the darkest storms.Drawing from 1 Peter 1, James 1, Acts 16, and Philippians 4, this message reminds us that trials do not destroy genuine faith — they refine it.No matter what storm you are facing today, there is peace available through Jesus Christ.#LivingLifeTogether
Be Still | Powered Sermon SeriesIn a world filled with constant noise, distractions, busyness, and endless entertainment, when was the last time you truly sat still with God?In this message, Pastor Dan explores the stories of Mary & Martha, Jesus calming the storm, and the powerful imagery of Psalm 23 to challenge us to slow down, unplug, and intentionally rest in God’s presence. Through personal stories, practical illustrations, and biblical truth, this sermon reminds us that we were never created to run on empty.If you never recharge in peace, you will collapse in the storms.Join us as we learn how to:• Stop allowing distractions to become disobedience• Recharge spiritually before life’s storms arrive• Find peace and restoration in God’s presence• Create intentional moments of stillness in a noisy worldMay 17th, 2026Scriptures:Luke 10:38–42Mark 4:37–40Psalm 23Romans 5:1Camp Point Assembly“Living Life Together”
Sometimes the most meaningful things God calls us to are also the hardest.In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Anna Smith (Pastor's Wife) explores how God often grows our deepest roots during seasons of drought, disappointment, and heartbreak. Through a powerful personal story of fostering, loss, obedience, and healing, this sermon reminds us that faithfulness is never wasted—even when life does not turn out the way we expected.Drawing from Jeremiah 17:5–8, this message encourages weary hearts to keep trusting God in the valleys and to remember that difficult seasons are often where spiritual roots grow deepest.Whether you are a mother, a parent, walking through grief, facing disappointment, or simply feeling exhausted in your faith journey, this message offers encouragement, hope, and a reminder that God is still working beneath the surface.Scripture:Jeremiah 17:5–8Camp Point Assembly“Living Life Together”
What happens when you fail God?For many people, failure feels final. Shame says it’s over. Regret says you’ve gone too far. The enemy whispers that God could never use you again.But Scripture tells a different story.In this message, Pastor Dan looks at the life of Peter—a man who publicly denied Jesus, yet was restored, filled with the Holy Spirit, and used powerfully by God. Through John 21, we discover that failure does not have to be the end of the story.Using the real-life comeback story of Josh Hamilton alongside the restoration of Peter, this sermon reminds us:Failure is realFailure feels finalBut failure isn’t final with GodIf you’ve ever felt disqualified, stuck in shame, or convinced that God is done with you, this message is for you.📖 Main Text: John 21🔥 Theme: Restoration, Grace, Calling, and the Power of the Holy Spirit#FailureIsntFinal #LivingLifeTogether #CampPointAssembly #John21 #Grace #Restoration #Pentecost
