BridgePoint Church Podcast

After Eden, sin spreads like wildfire—first through individuals, then families, and eventually entire cultures. In this message, we explore the stories of Cain and Abel, Noah’s flood, and the Tower of Babel to see how sin fractures our relationships, distorts identity, and leads us into confusion. But even in the catastrophe, God doesn’t give up. He preserves a remnant and continues writing a story of redemption.Questions for Reflection: • What “spirals” of sin do you notice repeating in your life or relationships? • How might you be blaming others for what God is inviting you to confront in yourself?

In the beginning, God created everything and called it good. But sin entered the story and corrupted what was good leading to shame, isolation, broken identity, and spiritual death. In this message, we sit in the heavy truth of sin so that we might one day celebrate the weight of redemption. Even in our brokenness, God didn’t walk away.Questions for Reflection:• Can you see how sin’s spiral has affected your life in a specific way?• Is there any aspect where you are questioning God’s goodness, and what should that tell you?

In Ruth 4, Boaz marries Ruth and Naomi’s story turns from bitterness to joy. But the true point of Ruth is not that every prayer will be answered the way we hope—it’s that God’s redemption always comes. Through Jesus, the Redeemer, we can anchor our hope in the promise that one day God will wipe away every tear and make all things new.Questions for Reflection:• Why is it hard to find hope when redemption hasn’t arrived in the way we pray for it?• How does holding onto God’s promise of final redemption help you in your present struggles?

In Ruth 3, Naomi gives Ruth a risky and unusual plan. But behind the uncertainty is the reminder that God is always working, even when we can’t see it. Pastor Tyler challenges us to put our faith into action instead of passively waiting. The only way we miss God’s purposes is if we quit.Questions for Reflection:• Have you ever felt like God was asking you to do something unusual? Did you obey?• What part of your life are you praying for change, but not stepping in faith toward it?

In Ruth 2, Ruth “happens” to find herself in Boaz’s field—but what looks like luck is actually the kindness of God at work. Pastor Tyler reminds us that God is always providing, even when we can’t see it, and often His blessings show up disguised as coincidences. The challenge is to put faith into action and learn to see God’s hand in both the big and small moments of life.Questions for Reflection:• What’s a recent “coincidence” that may actually have been God’s kindness toward you?• Is there an area of your life where God is calling you to act in faith, but you’re holding back?

In Ruth 1, Naomi faces famine, loss, and deep bitterness, yet God’s unseen hand is still at work. Pastor Tyler reminds us that God’s sovereignty doesn’t erase our pain, but holds us through it. Even in seasons when prayers seem unanswered and God feels distant, His purposes remain unshakable, and His presence is near to the brokenhearted.Questions for Reflection:• How can remembering God’s sovereignty bring hope in the middle of pain?• What steps can you take now to build godly relationships before you face a hard season?

Sometimes God’s plans don’t make sense, at least not at first. In this message, Pastor Cam explores the story of Jericho in Joshua 6 and challenges us to trust and obey God, even when what we see doesn’t match what God has said.Through personal stories and Scripture, we’re reminded that breakthrough often follows obedience, and faith moves before the miracle. God may be doing more than we can see, will we keep walking anyway?Questions for Reflection:• What is something God has asked you to do that doesn’t make sense right now?• What “walls” in your life need a shout of faith instead of a strategy?

The message focuses on the concept of time and priorities, emphasizing that time is a gift from God and should be used to align with His kingdom and righteousness. ​ Pastor Brad challenges the idea of controlling or managing time, instead urging listeners to live in the present moment, imitating Jesus in their everyday lives. ​ He critiques the Pharisees for missing the purpose of God's law by focusing on rules rather than transformation of the heart. ​ Using the principle "garbage in, garbage out," he highlights the importance of filling oneself with things that reflect God's holiness rather than negativity or division. ​ The message concludes with a call to seize every opportunity to live like Jesus in ordinary, daily moments, recognizing that all time belongs to God. ​Questions for Reflection:• What are you filling your time with, and how is it shaping your heart?• What would it look like to fully entrust your time to God?

Jesus said we can’t serve both God and money. So what does your spending say about who comes first? In this message, Pastor Tyler invites us to reevaluate our financial priorities through the lens of Scripture. When we give first and trust God with the rest, we realign our hearts with His kingdom and open ourselves to the peace and provision He promises.Questions for Reflection:• What does your current spending strategy say about your priorities and trust?• What would it look like for you to take one step toward giving God your “first fruits”?

We all want to put Jesus first but often find ourselves doing the very things we don’t want to do. In this message, Pastor Tyler explores the gap between desire and reality, where the tension of faith lives. Starting in Matthew 6:33 and landing in Romans 7, we’re reminded that seeking God is the goal, but it’s grace, not perfection, that keeps us going.Questions for Reflection:• Where in your life do you feel the tension between what you want spiritually and what you actually do?• What is one “lesser priority” you need to surrender to truly put Jesus first?

As we close out Your Story Speaks, Pastor Tyler reminds us that the valleys of life don’t silence our story—they shape it. Even when life doesn’t feel “abundant,” God’s presence is still real. And in those moments, your story may speak louder than ever.Questions for Reflection:• What part of your story do you hesitate to share because it feels incomplete?• How have you experienced God’s presence in the valley?• What was your life like before Jesus, how did you meet Jesus, and how is Jesus changing your life?

In this special KidsPoint Camp message, Pastor Tyler invites us to rediscover what it means to approach God with a childlike faith.As we grow older, it’s easy to let the weight of life diminish our sense of awe and trust—but Jesus said the Kingdom belongs to those who come to Him like children. If we want our story to speak, we must first remember that God is able and enough.Questions for Reflection:• In what areas of your life have you let fear or complexity overshadow simple trust?• What would it look like to return to childlike awe and faith this week?

In today’s world, how we communicate matters more than ever — especially when sharing our faith in spaces where it might not be welcomed. If we present our stories with a harsh, self-righteous attitude — “I’m right and you’re wrong”—we risk misrepresenting the very message we’re trying to share. That approach doesn’t reflect how Jesus taught us to live or love, and it may even close hearts instead of opening them.Jesus calls us to let our light shine so that others see our good works and glorify God. This reminds us of a powerful truth: our story begins speaking long before we say a single word.And when sharing our faith feels hard or uncomfortable, we can remember the words of Paul—our struggle isn’t with people. Our real enemy is spiritual, and we don’t push back darkness by attacking others. Instead, we overcome by living out the love, grace, and truth that Jesus modeled.✨ Key Points:* How we share our faith matters — especially in environments where it may not be welcomed.* Our actions speak before our words — our lives should reflect the message we want to share.* Jesus calls us to let our light shine, so others see our good works and glorify God.* Paul reminds us of our struggle is spiritual, not against other people — we’re not called to attack, but to love.

What if sharing your faith wasn’t about pressure, performance, or having all the right answers—but simply living from who you are in Christ? In this message from Acts 17, Pastor Curtis unpacks how Paul shared the gospel in a deeply secular culture, not from obligation but from conviction and identity. Whether you’re at work, the gym, or a coffee shop, you don’t need a bigger platform—you need a clearer understanding of who you are. This message will challenge and encourage you to live out your faith naturally in the everyday spaces you already occupy.✨ Key Points:1. Your Story Begins with God's Love2.

This week’s message explores the challenge—and importance—of sharing our faith story with the people closest to us.Pastor Brad teaches that how we live and speak reflects God’s love to those who know us best. Our goal isn’t to fix people, but to love them in a way that invites them to experience the grace of Jesus for themselves.Questions for Reflection:• What would it look like to speak about your faith with wisdom and grace?• Are you loving the people closest to you in a way that reflects God’s love?The Anatomy of Peace Book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/4ku1pvF
