Redefining Cause sermon podcast

http://bridgepointchurch.podomatic.com/

In this sermon podcast I continue our "Redefining Normal" series with a message entitled; "Redefining Cause". Also during this service BPC hosted our very first Blessing of the Bikes & I’m here to tell ya Motorcycle riders & enthusiasts have really gotten a handle this idea of Redefining Cause!


All Bikers are found riding & raising money for injured veterans; cancer research & the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. These are all great causes but for me the greatest cause there was or is… is…the Cause of Christ! When Jesus came from heaven to earth He Redefined Cause saving us from our sin which was the purpose behind everything He did while on earth. Through His example of sacrifice at the cross & coming to serve and not be served Jesus showed us getting behind His cause and giving our lives away for it has eternal value that far outweighs anything we’ll receive in the here & now!

Getting behind the Cause of Christ is what being a Great Commission Christian is all about!

Redefining Community Sermon Podcast

Today (Sunday 5/6/12) I began a new series entitled; Redefining Normal. For most people being viewed as normal is good but my question is; When it come to living for God do we really want to be labeled as normal?


Through the Holy Spirit God has given us a redefinition of what a normal relationship with His Son really looks like & in the New Testament the everyday normal lives of God followers were miraculously redefined now labeling them  as anything but normal as they followed the example of Christ & the teachings of the apostles.

In this podcast Redefining Community is one of the keys to redefining a normal christian life so, click the link below and you’ll be directed to BPC’s podcast webpage to find out what I’m talking about!

A Powerful New Language sermon podcast

In this podcast I concluded BPC's “Pentecostal Power” series with a message entitled “A Powerful New Language.”

Tongues is a language 1st spoken on the Day of Pentecost as the Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 disciples of Christ who were gathered together in an upper room in Jerusalem. The Bible teaches speaking in tongues is also for today but many have a hard time wrapping their minds around this. Why? Well like anything else we may be uneasy about things we don’t fully understand due to lack of exposure, a bad experience, incorrect or no teaching at all. Because tongues occurred in the Bible & is spoken by believers today let’s define what tongues is; tongues is a earthly or heavenly language prompted by the Holy Spirit that we haven’t learned or our human minds don’t understand when we’re speaking it out.

This Powerful New Language when prompted by the Holy Spirit helps believers encourage and edify themselves during personal prayer and it encourages and edifies others gathered together in a corporate setting such as a service or small group.

Before you decide whether or not this Powerful New Language is for you…click on the link below and listen to the message; pray about it & then decide.

God Bless you as you listen!

Power for Service

Power for Service is the essence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit; an empowering by God “supercharging” our Spiritual Gifts as we help to advance His kingdom here on the earth. Why do we need this Power for Service? Because we can’t accomplish all that God has for us in our own strength; we need a power greater than our human efforts; we need Pentecostal Power!

Just like on the day of Pentecost and as long as God keeps calling people to salvation (into a right relationship with Himself through Jesus’ sacrifice @ the cross), He wants to pour out His Spirit on people; to come upon people with His Spirit; to have people receive His Spirit; to immerse people in His Spirit and to Baptize people in His Spirit providing Pentecostal Power for Service.

This Baptism in the Holy Spirit deepens our experience and love for God, His Word, one another & those who don’t yet know Christ. The Day of Pentecost was only the beginning of the harvest bringing men & women into God’s family growing in their relationship with God, Jesus, the Spirit & other believers. Romans 12:11 says; Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. This filling of the Holy Spirit brings an excitement that’s boiling over & burning white hot within us thru the 3rd person of the Trinity.
