Bridgewater Vestal’s Podcast

Open House: The Three Chairs

Sermon: There are three kinds of people: Committed (stool), comfortable (recliner) and camal (bean-bag).  Which one are you and why are two of those options so terribly wrong?  If true, Christianty is of utmost importance.  If untrue it is of no importance.  The only thing Christianity cannot be is moderately important.

Scripture Passage: Psalm 100

Speaker: David Wyman

Prayer: Powerful Prayer

Sermon: Sometimes there is nothing that we can do to change God's answer to our prayer but sometimes we can make a difference.  The outcome of our prayer is not disconnected from our relationship with God.  We can take steps towards praying more productively.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:9-15

Speaker: Brett Bixby

Prayer: Relentless Prayer

Series: Do you feel like when you pray, you never see any results?  Sometimes prayer can feel like less than a conversation.  It can feel repetitive and one sided, but it doesn't have to be that way.  Our prayers are deeply connected to our relationship with God.

Sermon: What if we were to tell you that God answers all our prayers?  Would you believe us?  What would happen in your life if you believed God answered all your prayers?

Scripture Passage: Luke 18:1-8
