Sermon Podcast "An Intellectual Shift"

http://bridgepointchurch.podomatic.com/

In John 3:1-21 some see Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus as an example of how easy it is to believe in Christ but not unlike today Jesus was really challenging everything this man stood for.


Nicodemus was one of Israel’s elite teachers; a Pharisee & member of the Sanhedrin the powerful Jewish counsel who were fanatically religious on the outside but selfish and conceited on the inside. They fastidiously adhered to nearly 600 laws many of which were their own invention.

Knowing Israel had not had a prophet for 400 years Nicodemus was intrigued by Jesus miracles believing He must be from God so Nicodemus goes to talk with Jesus @ night to find out himself what this guy is all about.

I find it so interesting that in between this plethora symbolic language God inserts the way of salvation in its simplest form through a verse we can all quote by heart; John 3:16

Sermon Podcast An Attitude Adjustment

http://bridgepointchurch.podomatic.com/

What fuels a good or bad attitude? On Father’s Day 6/17/12 I preached a message entitled “An Attitude Adjustment”; it was the 3rd part in BPC’s June series “They Met Jesus.”


Most men & I guess people in general can trace the root of a good or bad attitude to how they see themselves or how they perform so it’s only when we come to God & begin to understand who we are in Christ we can make the necessary attitude adjustments. In his book Victory Over the Darkness Neal Anderson says “It’s our position in Christ that matter & not our performance” explaining that “No person can consistently behave in a way that’s inconsistent with the way he perceives himself.” And I love this; “What you do does not determine who you are, who you are determines what you do”.

As believers it’s important we understand it’s our position in Christ through the Cross that makes us an asset to the kingdom of God & not so much our level of performance as Martha discovered in Luke 10:38-42.

Sermon Podcast "A Vocal Change"

http://bridgepointchurch.podomatic.com/

Sunday June 3 2012 I began a new message series entitled; “They Met Jesus”. In this series we’ll discover that meeting Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit can totally change a person forever! But here’s something that will never change; God’s love for you!


Meeting Jesus definitely brings change to our lives but it all begins when we understand that we must take the 1st step towards God by surrendering all that we are, renewing our hearts & our minds as we now begin to become the best reflection of Christ that we can be.

“A Vocal Change” is about Zacchaeus & Chuck Colson; after they met Jesus these 2 men were changed forever & they wanted to tell everyone they knew about it cuz…after having an encounter with Christ how can we ever want to remain the same?
