Bridge Point Fellowship

Pastor Lance talked today about hearing from God and challenged us to let go of the baggage we carry around with us.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Ryan Hollands dives deep into the Beatitude of "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" from Matthew 5:8. He starts by explaining the meaning of the heart, which represents our desires, thoughts, and affections. He emphasizes that having a pure heart means desiring, thinking, and caring about Godly things.It's important it is to have a pure heart that can only come from God. Ephesians 1:7, Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10, and Romans 5:12 illustrate that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we can be made pure and blameless.We should seek a pure heart and trust in God's grace to make it possible. We should also examine our desires, thoughts, and affections, and ask God to transform our hearts so that we may see Him more clearly.

Tim Barnett from Stand To Reason, an apologetics minister, discusses why anyone should trust the Bible. He argues that many people simply assume the Bible is true because of their upbringing, but he aims to provide evidence for why it should be trusted as the Word of God. He acknowledges the challenges the Bible faces from scholars like Bart Ehrman and Richard Dawkins and acknowledges that saying "the Bible is the Word of God because it says so" is not a convincing argument. He then presents five "E's" of evidence for the trustworthiness of the New Testament, including eyewitness testimony, embarrassing evidence, excruciating evidence, and external evidence.

Today's messages speaks about King Nebuchadnezzar In the book of Daniel, and his dream about a tree. The interpretation of the dream is that his kingdom will be restored if he acknowledges that God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth. King Nebuchadnezzar was punished for his pridefulness and lost his mind, but was eventually restored to his throne when he acknowledged God's sovereignty. The fall of the king was caused by his pride, which is a difficult topic to talk about as it is often difficult to recognize in our own lives. Pride destroys everything and does not acknowledge God or the work of God in our lives.

This sermon covers Daniel Chapter 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. We must learn to be faithful through discomfort and to look for God's presence even in the midst of the fire.

In this sermon, we take a look at the story of Daniel in the book of Daniel chapter 2 and explore three important things we can learn about insight from his example. First, we see that insight comes from intimacy. This is reinforced by verses like Proverbs 3:32 and Psalms 25:14 which remind us that truly understanding the ways of the Lord requires closeness with him. Next, we learn that intimacy is not a one-time event but rather the result of daily habits. Like Daniel, we must actively seek to deepen our relationship with God through consistent prayer and study of scripture. Finally, we see that what we may initially view as a restriction or limitation can actually serve to create intimacy with God. As we trust in him and rely on him even in difficult circumstances, we grow closer to him and gain greater understanding of his ways. This sermon encourages us to strive for intimacy with God and to trust in his plan for our lives.

In this powerful sermon, we will be delving into the book of Daniel and Matthew to discover how we can remain steadfast in our faith even when the world around us is trying to change who we are. As we read through Daniel Chapter 1, we see how the young men of Judah were faced with the temptation to assimilate and adopt the ways of the Babylonians. Similarly, in Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus reminds us that we are the light of the world, and it is our job to shine bright, even in the darkness.The world is constantly trying to change our identity and our priorities, but it is essential that we are aware of this attack and make a commitment to not be polluted or defiled by these influences. We must have the courage to stand firm and follow God's plan for our lives, just like Daniel and his friends did in Babylon.In this sermon, we will explore the importance of staying true to ourselves and not compromising our values. We will learn how to have the courage to stand up for what we believe in and not be swayed by the wor

Pastor Lance's message was based on 1 Corinthians 11:17-26. This passage teaches us the significance of the Lord's Supper, where we remember the sacrifice of Jesus through the bread and the cup. We are reminded to put others before ourselves and to serve with a heart full of love and gratitude for all that Jesus has done for us.During this service, we reflected on the importance of putting our own needs and desires aside in order to serve and honor God and others. We also discussed the transformative power of following Jesus and how it should impact our actions and the way we treat others.We hope that this message encourages and challenges you to serve and love others selflessly, just as Jesus did for us. Thank you for joining us for this special service on Communion.
