Bristol Hope Assembly Bristol Hope Assembly

Join us Sunday at 10am - This year, Palm Sunday and Purim coincide. These two celebrations speak of the position of the Bride to the Bridegroom. They are both stories of deliverance and redemption. When looking at both biblical stories in conjunction, we can see a reminder of our position for the days in which we are living.
Stories of hope, deliverance, redemption and our role as the Body of Messiah. To rejoice in the realities of our salvation!
“The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ The King of Israel!”” John 12:12-14

When I was younger, I wish someone would have instructed me in spiritual law. Spiritual laws assist in bringing order and governance to life. God has created certain spiritual laws which can be seen in the physical. The winter will pass; the spring will come. The earth rests, rejuvenates, and brings forth periods of growth—the spring.

At times, we may feel that we are struck in a given situation, maybe even stuck in a rut. The Lord says the winter will pass, the springtime will come.

This week, Pastor David will speak on one such encouraging Spiritual Law: I=P(rt)

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:7-10

An acorn, quite unpresuming. Yet, it has the potential to become an oak tree. From an oak tree to lumber; from lumber to a ship that sails the world. From a simple acorn, sturdy material to enclose a house that surrounds generations of families.Too often, we think of the immediate, and lose sight of those things which only time can complete. In a culture of the immediate, we forget the diligence and patience that enables an acorn to become the oak.The early followers of Messiah understood the principle of working towards a kingdom that is larger, more powerful than what any individual or generation could create. They understood the principle of the Legacy of Oaks.This week Pastor David will teach on the importance of living and operating through the paradigm of legacy.“Even to them I will give in My house. And within My walls a place and a nameBetter than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting nameThat shall not be cut off.” Isaiah 56:5 

“Dismantling Destructive Mindsets” with Pastor Josh Ronaldo
The Etymology of the word “Dismantle” 1570s, "deprive or strip of fortifications or equipment, raze, destroy, tear down," from French desmanteler "to tear down the walls of a fortress," literally "strip off a cloak,"
As we continue our series on Deception, we will dig down deeper, a little further below the surface, to take a look at several dysfunctional and destructive mindsets and the thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that are associated with them. In doing so we will learn how to identify, take captive and dismantle them.
“For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” - 2 Cor 10:3-5

Pastor Jamie Fitt gives the message: “Offense: Bait of Satan or Tool of God” Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come,” Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬aJesus warned that offenses would come, but how we respond to them will determine if they are to us the bait of satan or the tool of God. Offense can make us bitter or better and can cement either a victim or victor mindset in us.Many moves of God have been aborted because of offenses that were not properly dealt with. Here at Bristol Hope, as the Lord continues to deepen the communal bonds and prepare us for a greater expression of His presence, stewarding offense will be essential

The Lord is doing an exciting work in our midst and we believe He will continue to pour out His Spirit in greater measures as we approach the spring. History has shown us the usual plans of the enemy. As the Lord begins to do a mighty work, the enemy attempts to bring division, offense, hypocrisy, and the lust of the world.
The ministry leadership at BHA believes it is an ideal time to teach on the spirit of deceit and its various manifestations. This is meant to guard us against the fiery darts of the enemy, to pull us closer to the Lord, and to ride ourselves of any deceiving spirits which may try to manipulate or enslave your mind.
This will be a three-week sermon series beginning with Pastor Dave and continuing with Pastors Josh and Jamie.
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons…” 1 Timothy 4:1
