Ridgepoint Church - Winter Haven, Fl

J.J. Gawlowicz continues our series-within-a-series on prayer by teaching, "What we practice in private becomes evident in public."

J.J. Gawlowicz explains why we need to pray. "Ask in humility. Seek in activity. And knock with persistency."

J.J. Gawlowicz begins the new series with the idea that, "We think God's provision is him giving us a little bit of all that he owns, when it is really him getting a little bit more of us."

Michael Mathews concludes this series with, "Good people don't go to heaven, but forgiven people do."

J.J. Gawlowicz encourages us with the idea that, "When the intent to grow is there, the effort is determined by those we're running with." He concludes with a short interview with Trevor & Kathy Plankenhorn who live & work in the Dominican Republic.

J.J. Gawlowicz explains that, "Desire reveals design, and design reveals destiny."

The consistent refrain of Psalm 136 is, "His steadfast love endures forever." In part 3, J.J. Gawlowicz uses this refrain to teach us, "We pray for God's intervention, when we really need God's presence."

Chris Neff explains that, "A passion for serving begins with a passion for people."

J.J. Gawlowicz encourages us in the first week of this series with the idea that it is "God who richly provides us with everything to enjoy" (1 Tim. 6:17).

J.J. Gawlowicz wraps up this series with the idea that, "Judgment looks at past actions and renders us incapable of future success."

In the second installment of this series, J.J. Gawlowicz explains how we should love those outside our faith and not hold them to the standards of our faith. But when it comes to those inside the faith, we have to evaluate the situation according to the standards of our faith.

We begin this series with the idea that, "When the standards we hold people to are higher than the love we display for them, we are guilty of judging." Due to some technical difficulties, we missed recording the beginning of the sermon, so it starts midstream. The full passage was Matthew 7:1-5.

J.J. Gawlowicz concludes this series with, "When we quit, we're not saying, 'I can't.' We're really saying, 'God can't.'"

We celebrate Easter & Jesus' resurrection with the idea that, "When we face up to our impotence, it forces us to lean into God's omnipotence." If you pray the prayer at the end of the message or would like to follow up with baptism, please contact us at 863-965-2464 or info@ridgepointchurch.org.

J.J. Gawlowicz kicks off the new series by teaching that, "Power is often subtly hidden in that which appears weak." Former pastor Timm Collins also joins J.J. for a short interview.

Chris Neff concludes the series by teaching, "Peacemakers love people not problems."

J.J. Gawlowicz teaches us, "Following Jesus isn't always safe," from Matthew 5:10-12.

"The liberation of experiencing forgiveness is matched only by the freedom of granting forgiveness."

J.J. Gawlowicz combines two of Jesus' principles for a powerful message on pursuing happiness - "Blessed are those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied," and "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Michael Mathews shares that, "Happy are the gentle, for they will receive the promises of God."
