Pastor David Riemenschneider continues with the third in his series of Lenten messages,nbsp; each one covering a different spiritual discipline.//nbsp; This weeks spiritual discipline is self denial, which is saying NO to anything that conflicts with God's Word.//nbsp; Self denial is NOT low self esteem.//nbsp; Self esteem is important as pointed out in Psalm 139:14, and should not be confused with self denial.//nbsp; Before moving on, Pastor David examines the paradox of Matthew 16:25.//nbsp; The message continues with examples of things we should say NO to that are unproductive and self destructive actions, and things to replace them with that are positive and enriching actions.//nbsp; The second point of the message is to "take up a cross" in a CHRIST centered life, not a self centered life.//nbsp; The last point is to follow the teaching and examples of Jesus, and then to answer three "self" evaluation questions.// Message Outline PDFnbsp;nbsp; {Click Here} Uncategorized Bloomindale Church no No http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/say-no-with-a-bigger-yes-36710http://storiesof.us/bcmedia/podcast/BC%20Message%20Audio%202010/3-7-10_Sermon.mp3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PodcastBloomingdaleChurch/~3/nUv4BYrTZ1Y/some-tempting-offers-2272810 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/some-tempting-offers-2272810#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:37:35 +0000 media@bloomingdalechurch.org http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/?p=3129 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/some-tempting-offers-2272810/feed 0 00:01:01 Pastor David Riemenschneider continues with the second in a series of Lenten messages, delivering a different spiritual discipline every week.//nbsp; This weeks spiritual discipline is ...

Every earthly gift pales in comparison to Jesus' sacrifice; 2.) All our giving should be to Jesus, and 3.) from John 11: Death reminds us of what is important in life.//nbsp; The message continues with some other examples of crazy generosity: 1Kings3; Solomon and his 1000 burnt offerings, and God appears in a dream and tells Solomon to ask for anything he wants, and he asks for wisdom.//nbsp; 2Chronicles5,6,7: The crazy generosity of David to get the temple built and the extravagant giving of Solomon to have the temple dedicated, and God shows up from heaven in all His glory and consumes the offering!.//nbsp; God shows up when extraordinary giving occurs.//nbsp; It is not about giving, it is about God.//nbsp; Pastor Bill continues with 2 other examples, and a statement from Malachi 3:6-12.//nbsp; Our extraordinary gift as a church will be to give our entire offering from Feb. 20+21 to the mission of Lisa Nickey in Gabon, and the sermon ends with a message from Lisa.// Uncategorized Bloomindale Church no No http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/experience-god-thru-extravagant-and-extraordinary-giving-2131410http://storiesof.us/bcmedia/podcast/BC%20Message%20Audio%202010/2-14-10_Sermon.mp3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PodcastBloomingdaleChurch/~3/1KBMIX1TnDY/from-the-congregation-2131410 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/from-the-congregation-2131410#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:32:42 +0000 media@bloomingdalechurch.org http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/?p=3099 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/from-the-congregation-2131410/feed 0 00:01:01 Monika M., a single mother of 4 shares with us how, with tithing, God fills in all the blanks.// Monika states that since God always ...

Pastor Bill Calvin starts the stewardship series with a look at Ezekiel 16:49, where it shows the number one mistake is to ignore the poor.//nbsp; To oppress the poor is to show contempt for your maker {Proverbs 14:31}.//nbsp; There are over 2000 verses in the Bible about poverty, wealth, justice, injustice, and oppression.//nbsp; Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord {Proverbs 19:17}.//nbsp; The second mistake is never learning to be content, but being content can be learned {Philippians 4:11}.//nbsp; Paul writes this letter about contentment and joy {Philippians 4:4} from prison after 8 beating with whips and rods, yet he still is joyful and content in the Lord!.//nbsp; People spend to much money because they have not learned to be content.//nbsp; The third mistake is not developing the habit of saving money and this topic will be expanded in a later message.//nbsp; Pastor Bill ends by asking " So what can I do about this?", and a good start is to thank God every day for at least 5 things that happened in the last 24 hours.//nbsp; As a church, Pastor Bill explains what we plan to do for the mission of Lisa Nicky in Gabon.// Uncategorized Bloomindale Church no No http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/the-three-biggest-mistakes-you-can-make-with-money-1303110http://storiesof.us/bcmedia/podcast/BC%20Message%20Audio%202010/1-31-10_Sermon.mp3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PodcastBloomingdaleChurch/~3/Z_lM4ykbGsU/story1303110 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/story1303110#comments Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:57:04 +0000 media@bloomingdalechurch.org http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/?p=3024 http://www.bloomingdalechurch.org/story1303110/feed 0 00:01:01 Tiffany D. shares with us thoughts on tithing and the surprise blessings it brings.//nbsp; She shows how unexpected blessing appear when you plan to give ...
