Northbridge Vestal Podcast

We all love a good story. What makes a story so compelling and so good is when we can see ourselves in someone else’s story. In this series, the call is to see ourselves in someone else’s story. From the book of Exodus, we’ll learn from the nation of Isreal’s mistakes and work to repeat their success. From captivity to commission, this is the human story.
 
All people have the same starting point - held captive by sin. We are born this way. While it seems natural to us, it is not the the way it has to be. And though sin takes from us and leads us to death, this is not the way it has to be. Freedom from sin can be found in fearing God.

Sermon: Loss, heartache, and disappointment have a way of affecting our faith.  Maybe you thought God was going to heal someone, or change a situation and he didn't come through like you hoped.  That disappointment can drive us to a place of unbelief and doubt.  What does Jesus have to say about the hardest moments of our lives?
Scripture Passage: John 11:1-44
Speaker: Brett Bixby

Sermon: There is nothing more important than what you believe about God, salvation, and eternity; yet so often other things cloud out the most important decision you will ever make.  Is the reason you can't believe because something else has caught the attention of your heart and has led you away from what matters most?
Scripture Passage: John 6:14-69
Speaker: Brett Bixby

Sermon: Are doubts and unanswered questions holding you back?  Have you heard things about God and believe that they have left you with more questions than answers?  Before you get answers to your questions, there may be something else you need.  Join us this weekend as we unpack what may be getting in the way of you believing.
Scripture Passage: John 20:24-31
Speaker: Brett Bixby

There are many reasons people give for why they can’t believe in Jesus. Maybe it’s disappointment. Maybe they are skeptical of the whole story, or maybe they just find other things more important. What would change for you, if Jesus satisfied every reason why you can’t believe.
The first type of person who says they can’t believe, might not be who you think it is. Maybe it’s someone who says they already believe, but truly hasn’t believed in Jesus. They’ve got just enough religion to think they have the real thing, but lack saving faith.
 
Speaker: Brett Bixby

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: Joshua 14:6-14
Speaker: Josh Edwards

Sermon: The kitchen is where life happens with our family.  It's where we serve others with others.  Where and how does that happen in our church?  Who and how does God want you to serve?
Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:1-7
Speaker: Brett Bixby

Sermon: The living room is where we connect as friends.  How can we do that better at Bridgewater Church?  And why is interacting in circles more powerful than sitting in rows?
Scripture Passage: Ephesians 3:16-18
