In this passionate weekly update from Bridgepoint Church, Cam, the student pastor, welcomes attendees and announces the upcoming summer camp. He then delves into Acts 16, focusing on Paul and Silas' imprisonment and their unwavering faith amidst adversity. Despite being beaten and jailed unjustly, Paul and Silas choose to worship and pray, leading to a miraculous event that impacts their jailer profoundly. Cam emphasizes the lesson of continuing to share the gospel and show love even in the midst of life's toughest challenges, inspiring listeners to persevere and trust in God's unchanging power and love.Questions for Reflection:* How does the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16 encourage you to share Jesus in difficult circumstances?* What can we learn from their example of worshiping God in adversity?* Have you experienced a situation where your faith was tested? How did you respond?* Reflect on a time when you felt God's presence even in challenging times.* How does the gospel remain unchanged and relevant today, despite cultural and societal shifts?* What inner strengths can we draw upon when facing hardships, similar to Paul and Silas in prison?* How can we show love and kindness to others, even when facing personal struggles?* What lessons can we learn from the jailer's conversion about God's transformative power?* How can we cultivate a deeper faith that remains steadfast during difficult seasons?* In what ways can we actively share the message of Jesus with those around us, regardless of our circumstances?

A message about money and the church. The temptation is always to pass over these, but if God has something to say about how we use money (and it's good!!) then don't we want to know? In this message, Tyler reminds us that one of our values at BridgePoint Church is 'we get to give'. We don't have to, we aren't obligated or coerced, we get to. And in so doing, we unlock a blessing from God that He desires for us. God wants us to have the Kingdom, what a blessing, but where your treasure is your heart will be also.Questions for Reflection:• If money is the metric of what our heart's trust, what do you trust the most?• What are the next steps you can take to laying down the anxiety, and experiencing the peace and blessing from God, as it relates to money?

On this episode, you will hear a short testimonial from a  counseling client, Matthew Pieters, Lead Pastor at BridgePoint Church in Indiana, on how ServingLeaders helped him navigate through a difficult season under toxic leadership.

Pastor Lance Faulkner from Bridgepoint Church speaks at our Bold Conference on how to live a life of breakthrough and experience God's best in our future.

"Hey God, do you even hear me?"Have you ever asked that question or wondered why God can seem silent at times? You are not alone. In fact in this episode, Darren Hughes, Stage/Production Manager for Casting Crowns and church planter, has a conversation with me about times when he wondered what his next step should be.Just because it SEEMS like God is silent doesn't necessarily mean He is being silent. God has a purpose for your life just like He has a purpose for Darren. We don't always know why things happen the way they do, but if we trust that God is in control and live our lives that way, He WILL guide us according to His purpose.Darren went to Mark Hall, lead singer for Casting Crowns, and his wife, Melanie Hall, tour manager for the band, for their insight into where God might be leading Darren and his family. Their advice was basically to keep moving forward until God said otherwise.Ultimately, God led Darren right where He wanted him and that place essentially saved Darren's life.Hear as Darren talks about his work with Casting Crowns, sharing the gospel in a remote village in Alaska, and planting a church in the Atlanta, GA area.Bridgepoint Church at Toco HillsCasting Crowns

1. Don’t walk as you once did!2. Characteristics of the World3. Christ compels us to be different4. Don’t talk about it be about. Being different is an actionEphesians 4:17-32 ESV17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.To find out more about BridgePoint Church, located in Gloucester, Virginia, visit us online at:https://bridgepoint.church

On Sunday, May 17th (2020), Pastor Fred continued to preach through the Book of Ephesians, as we dissected the first part of Chapter 2.Here, we see that our relationship with God and to salvation is one where we bring absolutely nothing of worth to the table, yet, after we are saved, we tend to forget that.It's only by His grace that we are saved -- not by works, and not of ourselves.To find out more about BridgePoint Church, located in Gloucester, Virginia, visit us online at:https://bridgepoint.church
