Bridge Church | Sunday Messages

Helena uses Moses in Exodus 33 to challenge us to shift our prayer life from bringing God a list of requests to simply seeking more of Him. She calls us to draw closer to God each day, prioritising His presence and glory above everything else.

John looks at Jesus' words from the cross in Luke 23 to show us that even in his darkest moment, Jesus chose to pray and to forgive. He challenges us to follow that example, interceding for others and offering forgiveness even when it feels impossible, trusting that it's in those moments we rise above our circumstances and invite light into the dark.

Cookie looks at what it really means to pray with persistence, calling us to position ourselves through Jesus and refuse to give up on our requests. He challenges us to put prayer into loving action, standing in the gap for others and casting our anxieties on a God who is intimately concerned with our wellbeing.

Ian looks at Mark 4 to remind us that following Jesus doesn't mean avoiding the storm, it means knowing who's in the boat with you. He challenges us to resist doubt, blame, and wrong focus, and to find our footing in the authority and faithfulness of the One who has already promised to get us to the other side.

Georgia looks at Deuteronomy and what it means to be a generation that honours God and prepares the one that follows, remembering His faithfulness, living in obedience, and intentionally passing on the stories. She encourages us to keep going even when we don't see the promises fulfilled, knowing that the faith we live out today becomes the foundation for those who come after us.

John Andrews explains that the coming of the Holy Spirit was not a random historical event, but a "destiny call" meant to empower the church to carry the message of Jesus to the nations.

Sue looks at what it means to be the church with one accord, reminding us that unity goes far deeper than just showing up on a Sunday. She challenges us to see waiting on God as an active act of faith, trusting that it's often in the waiting where our strength is formed and the fruits of the Spirit take root.

Natalie looks at what it means for a church to live in true unity, unpacking three things that quietly take us off course... misplaced trust, mistaken identity, and mismanaged importance. Calling us to keep the Shepherd at the centre, where we find our contentment, our identity, and our witness to the world around us.

Easton, Sapphire, Nardos, and Daniella share stories of mission, showing what it looks like to live the Great Commission in everyday life. They encourage us to be bold in sharing our faith, knowing that even small acts of kindness, patience, and generosity can sow seeds that change lives.

Aaron looks at Matthew 18 to challenge our ideas of greatness, arguing it's less about status and more about how we treat others. He calls us to serve, take an honest look at ourselves, act in love, and choose forgiveness over resentment.

Barry shares his incredible testimony from addiction and prison to life in all its fullness.

Easter Sunday at The Bridge Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus!

John unpacks the prophetic power of Palm Sunday, revealing Jesus' entry into Jerusalem as a bold declaration... the glory of God returned, the true King, and the Lamb who saves. He invites us to move past the spectacle and receive Jesus for who he really is.
