6 H2O Baptized at BPC & Joseph goes from the pit, to prison to the palace


Yesterday at BPC was a real “Home Run”! It was such an honor to water baptize 6 people, a Mom & her 2 sons, a brother & sister and a young adult! I love these H2O Bapt. svc’s, I get so “pumped” when people who’ve made a decision for Christ are ready to tell the world that they love Jesus & so love following Him! As each person came up out of the water all of BPC shouted & cheered them on. Congrats to Maggie, Julian, Roman, Levi, Lexi, and Jeff! Yes sir, these are exciting times to be living for Kingdom things & to be a part of BPC!

Hey, FYI. This Sunday I’ll conclude our series of talks entitled, “How to Keep From Going the Wrong Way” which is based on the life of Joseph, Genesis chapters 37-50; here’s a quick review so far; As the #2 man in Egypt Joseph….
• Remembered the Pit; He wasn’t alone at the bottom of that dried out cistern cuz God’s presence & power was with him bringing future promise & purpose to his life.
• Relied on the Power; while in prison & asked to interpret dreams Joseph said; It’s beyond my own power to do this but God in His power can tell you what your dreams mean & set your life at ease!

Up to this point Joseph’s life shows us how to keep from going the wrong way. It’s through his response while in the pit & in prison that his Technicolor dream would eventually come to pass. By responding in a way that honored God Joseph turned his setbacks into opportunities & the Lord allowed him to succeed in everything he did. Oh, that those things would be said of our lives! This Sunday Joseph’s Technicolor dream becomes reality, his “Big Bad Bro’s” do bow down to him and I’m sure you have an idea of what happens next…or do you?

BridgePoint Church…it’s all about “Connecting Real People to the Real God”!
