Final Words is the final podcast in BPC's CrossWords series

"Final Words" is the final message in our Month of Love (February 2012) series "CrossWords; The Language of Love from the Heart of the Savior".

In this podcast, with great honor and respect as well as a bit uneasy but with the power of the Holy Spirit, on 2/26/12 at BPC my message was centered around Jesus' 7 Final words (phrases) that He spoke from the Cross...

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” Luke 23:34

“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise” Luke 23:43

“Dear Woman, here is your son”; “Here is your Mother” John 19:26, 27

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”? Mark 15:34

“I am thirsty” John 19:28

“It is finished” John 19:30

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” Luke 23:46

A lot has been said and written about these 7 final words (phrases) and I know I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to us so, if you’re interested in listening...just click on the title of this blog post and you’ll be directed to our podcast webpage.

Thanks and God Bless!

Personal Words Podcast

Whether you know it or not; as believers in Jesus Christ there’s a battle for our souls & as Christ followers realize the enemy will stop at nothing to tear us apart even using our personal words to do it. Instead of inspiring one another on as we follow Christ the devil will tempt husbands & wives, couples, parents & children, relatives, neighbors & friends to speak personal words that not only ooze with emotion but cut very deeply escalating conflict & pain so, in order to avoid that we gotta be Christ centered & under the control of the HS which will bring God’s blessing into our lives!

Before speaking we should ask ourselves; Is what we’re about to say…
True…Kind…Necessary? 1Peter 3:8-13 gives us the motivation to think before we speak personal words. You see, we are not called to do harm to others but to do good, not to curse but to bless and God rewards this type of behavior with blessing. Listen as I take a deeper look into this inspiring and challenging passage of scripture.

Kind Words Podcast

This February at BPC we’re we're not talking about relationships, we're talking about the POWER of WORDS and in this series “CrossWords” our latest podcast is entitled “Kind Words.”

“Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks”; so there’s power in our words. Kind Words bring us Hope and Life while unkind words bring us Hopelessness and Death so we’d better be under the control of the Power of God – the Holy Spirit – if our words are gonna bring Life and not Death!

The Antarctic Explorer, Sir Ernest Shackelton, knew the power of words and so did James; the brother of Jesus who also knew we’d need the power of the Holy Spirit to control our tongues, our words, because He’s the power behind our words!

BPC's Latest Podcast

The Bible tells us that words contain the power of life and death and we all know that words expressed towards us can make us feel like we can fly to the moon or they can make us feel like we’re on the bottom of the barrel…you know; where all the muck collects.

In our February 2012 series; CrossWords; The Language of Love from the Heart of the Savior, we’re gonna talk about the power of our words; the syllables that come out of our mouths generated by the brain that is influenced by our heats; words that can build up but can also tear down even those who are the closest to us.

Jesus’ knew the power of words & in this 1st message entitled; Communion Words we examine Jesus’ final Passover meal with his Disciples; AKA The Last Supper where Jesus so vividly instituted the Celebration of Communion. Listen as we verbally paint a snap shot of the powerful words spoken that evening as Jesus was about to sacrifice Himself at the Cross for the forgiveness of sin!

Texting Inspiration and Water Baptism

Sunday was a very great day at BridgePoint Church! It wasn’t great because I concluded my January message series “Text MSG’s” with a talk entitled “Texting Inspiration” but it was great because we held Water Baptisms and celebrated with a Free Luncheon following the service.
