The post #26 – Gospel Opportunities (Part B) appeared first on CenterPoint Bible Church.

It all starts with a story about corn and a plastic chair. Billy and Lowell trade stories about being stuck in circumstances. Have you ever felt stuck, or seen others stuck in a circumstance? People all around usare stuck in their sin , and it kept from true freedom in Christ. How can we give people this freedom?… by sharing the Gospel. Lowell and Billy give a few points to help you in your pursuit to share Jesus and  free people held captive by sin.    Know the Gospel    Know how to communicate the Gospel    Make the most of every opportunity, for we are His ambassadors.   Ephesians 5:15-16 “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” II Corinthians 5:20 “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. ”  Keep sharing the Gospel, even if you feel you were rejected…  Luke 10:16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

Our Podcast, like a Multi-Tool, does many things, but it’s biggest advantage is it’s mobility! This week, Lowell and Billy explain why they are podcasting and what they are hoping to accomplish. They share 4 Purposes of the CenterPoint Podcast: 1. Discipleship that is “on the go” 2. Personal Touch with the leadership team of CenterPoint Bible Church 3. The mobility of a podcast allows our listeners to pass it on 4. The Podcast aligns with our purpose as a church. While the CenterPoint Podcast may accomplish these purposes, there are some things that a podcast does not do! Listen in… Scripture passages referenced included: Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV) “19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (ESV) “8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.” Acts 1:8 (ESV) “8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 1 Corinthians 1:18 (ESV) “18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Today’s Podcast addresses a serious problem… Community Crushers. Community Crushers are underlying attitudes that affect our relationships with other people.  These Community Crushers result from the simple twist of two simple passages of Scripture.  The passages referenced today are Romans 12:15 –  Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 1 Corinthians 13:4 – Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast. Ephesians 4:29 – 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. Today, work towards Creating Community, by… Lunch Invite Praying for People Evaluate your Social Media Use CenterPoint Bible Church exists to Point Others to Jesus Christ and His Word in order to equip believers to experience Intimacy with God, Community with Others, and Influence in their World.  CenterPoint Bible Church meets on Sunday mornings at Spring Mills Middle School at 10:45.

Our podcast this week focuses upon an important word in our Christian Understand – Grace.  The guys make the point that in order to understand Grace, we first need to understand two other words – Justice and Mercy.  A pretty simple definition is shared for all three… Justice – Getting what you ______________ Mercy – Not Getting what you ______________ Grace – Getting what you don’t ______________ The compelling account of Jim Elliot and the other 4 missionaries was referenced.  You can see more about their story here and here.

Moment of Truth – Luke 4 Luke 4:1-2  – 1And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. Luke 4:14-21 –14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read.17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
