Ridge Church CLT

As we wrap up this series centered around the health of our spiritual and emotional heart, we have to make sure this checkup is a part of our routine. Do we care about the things that the people we care about care about? Sometimes it comes a little more naturally, but how can we make this a beat of our heart.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube....

There is a very real battle between what we want now and what we want most, and we have a choice to make—will our hearts be set on NOW or LATER? www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words you say. In Matthew 15:10-20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself? www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube....

It's a pretty mighty thing to know that God is FOR me and you. But it should always be followed by a comma not a period. He is FOR me, so I will be FOR others.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

Self-Control. That little compound word that seems like it's too much to handle. As we wrap up the conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, we follow the example of Jesus and let the Spirit lead the way.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

Faithfulness stands out because unfaithfulness is all too common. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, faithfulness means being someone others can count on -- but what happens when someone isn't -- what if that someone is you. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength that’s been trained to love well. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, gentleness is the ability to respond with grace when we could react with force. This kind of strength doesn’t come from willpower, but from the Spirit shaping us from the inside out. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/...

Every July we take one week off to give our voluteers and staff an opportunity to spend more time with family. But take a listen to this incredible baptism story and revisit an important message for the series "Out of the Shallows".  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

What's Good? Sometimes it's a casual remark, but the deeper you go the more you find it can be difficult to figure out. But we have a guide for life when we yield to God's Spirit. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

The world’s got a lot to say about being a man—but most of it misses the mark. Jesus shows us a better way: strength with humility, truth with love, and purpose that lasts. Real manhood starts with following Him.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

Kindness isn’t the same as being nice—nice is easy, but nice is not always kind. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, kindness is about choosing to actively love others, even when it costs us something. This kind of kindness doesn’t come from us alone; it flows through us as we walk with the Spirit. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtu...

Patience isn’t just about our response to circumstances. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, it about our responses to people. We don’t have to be stuck with the limited patience we used up today. There is more available to us than we realize. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

In a world filled with anxiety, where is our peace? Jesus never said life would be easy, but he did promise us a path that leads to peace. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

Though circumstantial happiness is inherently fleeting, we still have a tendency to chase happiness when what we really long for is joy. If you’re in the search for joy, it goes hand and hand with one little word — abide.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

What the world needs isn’t necessarily more people who claim to be spiritual. It needs Jesus followers who are all headed toward one particular thing. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

What if Sundays were the best day of the week? What if every smile move people toward Jesus? What if pushing buttons and showing intentional care could change someone’s life and we made Sunday the best day ever.  Ready to join a team? https://ridgechurchclt.churchcenter.com/people/forms/436718 www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchc...

He's Alive...now what? The celebration is Easter is the inauguration of something new -- and our lives are a preview of something that is to come. It's Easter Continued... www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

The life of Jesus ended in a way that His followers didn’t see coming. Arrest. Torture. Death. And yet, what came next was even more baffling for the disciples beyond what they had ever experienced. Now we live in light of that momentous moment of resurrection — and it changed everything.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt R...

What do we do when God doesn't meet our expectations? Jesus triumphal entry seems so much less than that - so much less than triumphant. But maybe he was setting a new standard for how he would work in our lives today.  www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive

It’s a word that has been misunderstood throughout generations. But the gathering that we know as the “church” has always been a movement, with local groups of people living out the same approach and posture of Jesus. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
