Picking for the Trinity; the final; message in our January series

So here’s the question; if you live in PGH have you had enough of the snow yet and…are you ready for Super Bowl 45 Steelers vs Packers?? 7 days away & counting as the Steelers try for their 7th Lombardi!!

This week while you’re waiting for the kick off take a listen to my final message in our January Spiritual Pickers series; “Picking for the Trinity”. The great mystery of the Godhead-a Divine Being existing in 3 distinct Persons each displaying knowledge, intelligence, feeling, affection & wisdom. It’s all about the Father, Son & the Holy Spirit & although the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible this truth is supported in scripture as a foundational doctrine of what we believe.

Pat Summers delivers "Picking to Give & Not Receive" podcast

Yesterday at BridgePoint we hosted Pastor Pat & Pam Summers, our good friends & BPC Missionaries.

Pat delivered a powerful talk explaining how through BPC’s giving we’ve been able to impact lives in different parts of the world through his missionary organization; Think Missions. Pat then continued our Spiritual Pickers series with a message entitled “Picking to Give and Not Receive.” Pat centered his message around these 3 biblical points; Sacrificed or Redeemed, The First of the First and Consecrated or Cursed.

Picking Over Fasting and Prayer Podcast

Hey, I hope all you BPCers are enjoying our "Spiritual Pickers" series!

Every January we begin the new year with a season of fasting and prayer so for 4 days, from Sunday through Wednesday, BPCers have been setting aside extra time to pray and fast for more of God in their lives and in the life of BPC. You are invited to join us on Wednesday January 12 7pm at the church for an hour of Praise, Worship & Communion to conclude our season of prayer & fasting.

This podcast message not only talks about prayer but also highlights a type of fasting called "The Daniel Fast" referencing Daniel chapter 1:6-17 where Daniel & his 3 friends denied themselves King Nebuchadnezzar's royal food eating only vegetables & drinking water resulting in these 4 guys looking healthier and better nourished than the other young men who were the king's 3 year government training program.

If you'd like more imformation about this type of fasting, Pastor Craig Groechel recommends a book by Susan Gregory entitled "The Daniel Fast; Start the New Year with 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer". I have not read the book but if Craig recommends it then I'm sure it's worth the read!

Be Blessed!!

Happy New Year & Spiritual Pickers

I just want to take an opportunity on this 1st day of a brand new year & decade, 1.1.11, to wish everyone a very happy, healthy & God filled new year. And to our BPC family; we’re believing God’s best for all of your lives in 2011 as we embrace the word spoken over us, Haggai 2:9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty.” Now that’s really something to launch into 2011 with!!

Speaking of launching…tomorrow, January 2 @ 10am, we are launching a brand new message series entitled; “Spiritual Pickers” based on the history Channel’s documentary reality TV series “American Pickers”. So bummed though that Mike & Frankie will not be making an appearance, (Boo-Hoo) but we will have a Mike & Frankie video to show you. (I hope that make things a little better.) Our 1st message in this series is “Picking Through the Bible” or How to read your Bible so you can get the most out of what you’re reading or.... something like that. At the end of the message we’ll be having communion together on this 1st Sunday of 2011!

There are a lot of other things happening in January @ BPC so please check our website for all the “skinny”! http://www.bridgepointchurch.cc/

See you tomorrow!
