Happenings @ BridgePoint

I haven’t posted in a while about the happenings @ BridgePoint. We have a few “firsts” which I’ll talk about in the next few posts.

This past Sunday 70 attended our svc including three 1st time guests & three 2nd time guests as we celebrated communion together for the very 1st time!! I took the time to explain that during communion we’re…

to Remember 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

Jesus instituted communion so we could remember Him (Jesus)

to Rejoice 1 Corinthians 11:26

rejoice in proclaiming the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sin and rejoice in proclaiming the eventual return of Jesus Christ.

to Repent 1 Corinthians 11:27-28
Repent – to turn from sin & to turn to God

during communion, we are given the opportunity to examine our motives, thoughts & actions in a personal way before God. We ask Him through His Holy Spirit to show us our wrongs & to restore our relationship with God.

and…

to Reconcile 1 Corinthians 11:29
reconcile - to restore to friendship or harmony, settle, resolve

during communion, we are given the opportunity to realize our need for reconciliation with God & others.

As the band played & images of Jesus’ last supper with His disciples & His sacrifice flashed on the screen we all participated in communion together.

Now that we’ve come out of the summer & everyone is back into the swing of regular schedules, BPC is positioned to launch into the fall with excitement, faith & a few firsts!
