BridgePointe Church

Our journey through Eastertide continues as we look at Jesus' new command found in John 13. How is the command to love one another "new" and what does it look like to live a life of love?

This week, Pastor Matt explores what Jesus called "abundant life" in John 10 and how we can experience that in the here and now.

This week, Pastor Matt looks at Jesus' restoration of Peter and how forgiveness in the Bible means so much more than we think - it's not just a change in status, but a change in identity.

The Easter season continues with Pastor Matt exploring how Jesus called His disciples into a new creation life.

We celebrate Jesus' victory over Sin & Death and show how this is good news - not just for when we die - but for how we live our lives every day.

Pastor Matt walks through the background of Palm Sunday and how Jesus' triumphal entry was actually a disappointment to those who were greeting Him.

What should we do when we find ourselves disappointed by Jesus? When our prayers seem to go unanswered and our greatest fears become reality? Jesus' resurrection of Lazarus and Mary's subsequent response teach us what it means to worship in the waiting.

This week we look at one of Jesus' most famous parables: The Story of the Lost Son. Pastor Matt brings some context and shows us that the lost son might not be the son we expect (and shows us how to seek reconciliation).

This week we examine Jesus' command to His followers to "repent" and explore what that means for us today.

Greg Tellason continues our Lent season by exploring Jesus' interactions with Pharisees on the way to Jerusalem and how He came to bring real peace to our lives.

We kick off the season of Lent by exploring what sin is, the enemies of the soul, and how we can resist temptation.

This week we conclude the season after the Epiphany by looking at the transfiguration of Jesus. Pastor Matt connects the dots between the encounters Moses and Elijah had on Mount Sinai with the encounter they have with Jesus on the mountain of transfiguration.

As our season exploring Jesus' early ministry comes to a close, we examine one of His most famous (and often neglected) commands: love your enemies. Pastor Matt walks through Scriptures to show us why Jesus tells us to love our enemies and offers practical examples of how to do so.

This week, we look at the defining characteristics of Jesus' ministry: Gospel proclamation and demonstration. We then look at what this means for Jesus' followers today, including a discussion of healing prayer.

We continue our exploration of Jesus' early life and ministry by looking at His call (and later) restoration of Simon Peter.

As we continue in the season after the Epiphany, this week we walk through Luke 2 and the presentation of Jesus in the temple. Pastor Matt shows how this foreshadows Jesus' death and what He accomplishes through the cross.

We continue our exploration of Jesus' life and ministry by examining His return to Nazareth and announcement of God's Kingdom. The reaction of his hometown crowd leads us to wonder if it's possible to be so familiar with Jesus that we miss out on who He actually is.

This week, we examine Jesus' first miracle (turning water to wine) and try to answer the question: what does this sign reveal to us about Jesus?

Pastor Matt looks at Luke 3 and answers the question "Why was Jesus baptized?"

We kick off the new year by exploring the magi's visit with Jesus and what this means for our response to Jesus in our own lives.

This week, we celebrate all that God has done through BridgePointe in 2024 and look forward to the ways we can extend our generosity even more in the coming year.

This week, Greg Tellason kicks off the Christmas season by encouraging us to find joy no matter what we may be experiencing.

We conclude our series in Galatians by exploring what Paul meant by "new creation" and how we might be a part of that here and now.

How do we help people who want to follow Jesus but are living in the flesh? That's the big topic this week as we start to wind down in our series exploring Galatians.

As we start to come to the end of our series in Galatians, Pastor Matt explores what it looks like to live in the flesh or live in the Spirit.

This week, we finish up Galatians chapter four and wrap up our discussion about what freedom in Christ really means.

We pick back up in our Galatians series by exploring what Paul meant when he said that in Christ "there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female."

NOTE: Due to technical issues, the first two minutes of the message did not record. We pick up the sermon a few minutes in. Our walk through Galatians continues with Pastor Matt taking us through the Torah to show how that (combined with Christ's death & resurrection) shaped how Paul understood who is now in God's family and who is out.

This week, Pastor Matt unpacks what Paul meant when he wrote the the Galatians about "justification" and "works of the Law."

We continue our journey through Galatians this week and see how Paul emphasizes that the Gospel is Jesus plus nothing else.

NOTE: Our building lost power with about five minutes remaining in the message. For that reason, the recording stops just shy of the end. This week, Pastor Matt kicks off our series walking through the letter to the Galatians by looking at the problem Paul is addressing within the Galatian house churches.

Julia Geiger walks us through a story in the gospel of Luke that shows how we can overcome barriers to showing up for the people in our lives.

We wrap up our exploration of being a Jesus-centered Church by seeing how the Church has historically defined the center, and how we at BridgePointe define what it looks like to follow Him.

This week, Pastor Matt explains the difference between bounded, fuzzy, and centered sets, and then shows how Jesus calls us to place Him at the center of our lives and the church.

This week, Pastor Matt walks through Luke's gospel to show us what Jesus' mission was and how we can practically join Him in it.

This week, Pastor Matt explores the mindset shifts we must make in order to experience true community within the body of Christ.

We continue our series on the Church by looking at how the temple in the Old Testament points to what worship actually looks like for Jesus-followers.

Pastor Matt kicks off a brand new series by examining what the Bible means when it talks about "church."

Greg Tellason revisits a famous passage in John 3 and challenges us to take the step of being born again into God's Kingdom.

Julie Guebert walks us through what it looks like to walk in the Spirit rather than walking in the flesh.

Amanda Burgos explores the story of Abraham, Sarah, & Isaac and challenges us to let go of control and trust God.

We end our journey through the Sermon on the Mount by examining Jesus' final challenge to build our lives on the Rock.

We begin to wind down our time in the Sermon on the Mount by exploring Jesus' teaching about the wide and narrow gates, the broad and narrow roads, and a warning about false teachers.

This week, Pastor Matt explores the famous "Golden Rule" teaching within it's context regarding judgment.

Jesus famously said, "Do not judge." But what does this mean, and how does this apply to our lives today? Pastor Matt continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount by unpacking this topic.

Greg Tellason explores the spiritual practice of fasting and how it shapes us to become more like Jesus.

This week, we reach the end of Matthew 6 and unpack Jesus' teaching on the antidote to worry.

As we approach the end of Matthew 6, Jesus turns His attention on how our wealth and possessions can impact the way we follow Him.

This week we walk through Jesus' teaching on prayer and how we can take steps to pray like Him.

Our walk through the Sermon on the Mount reaches a turning point as we begin looking at Matthew 6. Jesus begins to call out acts of performative righteousness and instead invite us to implement spiritual practices in a healthy, God-centered way.

We reach the end of Matthew chapter five in this teaching and unpack what it means to follow Jesus' command to love our enemies.
