The Bridge Church Sermons

As we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth, we also look forward to the day Jesus will come again. We await the day that heaven comes to earth. In Revelation 21-22, John shares a promise, a warning, and invitation for the hope that we hold. Join us this first week of Advent as we remember what Jesus has done, will do, and how that changes everything in between. Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, S...

How do we live as a people who hold fast to both truth and love in a world of counterfeits? The Letter of Second John invites us to a life and faith that doesn’t compromise but also that doesn’t retreat. Just as Jesus came in the flesh, may we embody our faith in real, tangible ways.

There is a profound connection between truth and love—truth shapes our understanding of God, and love reveals our obedience to Him. Love is more than sentiment; it is a faithful response to God’s commandments, lived out in community. We are witnesses to truth, while love anchors us in genuine relationships that reflect Christ to a world hungry for both. If our lives are meant to bear both of these...

The grace of God has profound power—freeing power, saving power, transforming power. And the most profound part of it all… it’s a gift. We have a new way to live and a new identity when we rise from the waters of baptism. Join us as we take another look at what it means to be crucified with Christ and raised to new life through salvation.  Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/...

God has a way of bringing the good news, and usually, He sends a person. In Acts 8, God sends Philip on a 60-mile journey into the desert to bring the good news of Jesus to one person. Join us as we take a look at how just one conversation can change someone’s life forever. Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.   To support this ministry and help us continue our Go...

How do we live faithfully in the tension between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world? Jesus gets to the heart of this question in Matthew 22. As followers of Jesus, our aim isn’t to be apolitical or all-political–it’s something else entirely. Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.  To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, cl...

How should we, as Christians, engage in politics? It can be tempting to simplify it to who we vote for or what policies we support. But it’s about more than that. In today’s sermon we explore how our engagement in politics directly ties into who we’re becoming. Listen to the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us continue our God given missio...

When we recognize that all we have belongs to God, our giving becomes an expression of gratitude. We don’t follow a grumpy Savior who begrudgingly gave his life. Rather, we worship a generous King who lovingly gave all that he had for us. Join us in this final week as we discuss how the generosity of Jesus is reflected in those who follow him. Listen to the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and b...

When Jesus saw us in poverty, he took on our poverty so that we might experience the riches of his grace. When we are generous with the poor, we retell the story of the gospel over and over again. This week we’re opening up Matthew 25 where we’re exploring three different kinds of poverty and three kinds of generosity. Listen to the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To supp...

So often we find ourselves wanting just a little more. Yet, in 1 Timothy 6, Paul warns followers of Christ to be on guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not exist in the abundance of possessions, rather, the abundant life we seek is found when we follow the way of Jesus. Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us continue our...

We are treasuring creatures. This week we’re asking ourselves where our treasures lie. Because, as Matthew 6 tells us, where our treasure is, our heart will be. Join us as we begin to unpack the practice of generosity–seeking to mirror the generosity of Christ. Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us continue our God given missio...

As followers of Jesus, we can live day-in and day-out with confidence in the complete and saving work of Christ’s atoning death and resurrection in our lives. Our lives have been secured eternally, and this side of heaven, we can live out our days with boldness.  1 John 5 assures us of our salvation. You can catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support this minist...

Love is not a dopamine rush, a feeling, or an affection. It’s much better. 1 John 4 tells us exactly what love is and what it does. Join us as we walk through six reasons why we love.

Cain took his brother’s life, yet Jesus gave his life for us. This is how we know what love is. 1 John 3 calls us to love one another not merely with the absence of hate, but with the presence of action. Join us as Pastor Ian discusses how our aim isn’t just to be loving, but to become a people of love–reflecting the love and person of Jesus. Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge...

We’re living between redemption and restoration, between the already and the not yet. Many will wrongly deny the deity of Jesus, while some will falsely claim to be the Messiah themselves. As Christians in these last days, John tells us there is work to be done. Join us in 1 John as we unpack our call in this last hour. Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support...

Have you ever wondered if you’re truly saved or if your faith is genuine? You’re not alone. 1 John addresses why we can rest in the assurance of our salvation as well as tangible ways real faith is lived out by the believer. Join us as guest speaker, Dr. Ken Baugh, talks about how the motivations of our hearts and our resulting actions are transformed by the love of Christ. bridge.tv/sermons Suppo...

If we know that navigating in the dark can be dangerous physically, why do so many of us insist on doing it spiritually? Because there is no darkness in God, following Him means that we can walk freely in the light. Join us in 1 John as we discuss what it means for followers of Jesus to both declare and demonstrate the gospel with our lives. You can find today’s sermon at Apple Podcasts, Spotify,...

Would you be surprised to hear that we tend to pursue joy in the wrong places? Probably not. Would you say that you are experiencing deep joy? In 1 John, we'll see how simply knowing Jesus will not produce the greatest joy. This week, Pastor Cory unpacks how we encounter true fulfillment. bridge.tv/sermons To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http:/...

In Matthew 19, Jesus calls a rich young ruler to surrender his possessions. This man kept all the rules–he also kept his heart for himself. We have a God who isn’t merely interested in our obedience, our God is interested in our hearts. What would it look like to surrender moment by moment to God? Would our hearts remain the same?  Join us as Pastor Ian dives into the phrase, “God is my co-pilot,”...

Maybe you’ve heard it said or maybe you’ve said it yourself that “everything happens for a reason.” While this phrase is often said with good intentions, it carries dangerous theological implications. This week we’re looking to Romans 8 as we seek Biblical understanding in response to inexplicable circumstances. Join us as we discuss how our God moves in and responds to deep pain and suffering. br...

So often we pride ourselves on doing things by ourselves, on our own, without help from anyone. And we’ve heard it said that, “God helps those who help themselves.” But is there any Biblical basis for that? If Jesus saved us when we were dead in our sins, when we could not help ourselves… then this statement couldn’t possibly be true. Join us as Pastor Ian unpacks how and when God does help us. br...

We’ve all heard it said, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But is this statement Biblically sound or does it just sound Biblical? Pastor Ian explores the meaning behind 1 Corinthians 10:13 and how we are called to depend on God and on one another. Listen to this week’s sermon at bridge.tv/sermons.

The scandal of the love of God is that it cannot be manifested, earned, or surpassed. The love of God is given. It is given to us because of who Jesus is and what he has done in our place. He invites us into this love and calls us to remain in his unending love.  Join us as guest teacher, Mike Kelsey, teaches through John 15 and the implications of Jesus saying I am the True Vine.  bridge.tv/sermo...

We don't live in any shortage of people or ideas claiming to be "a way" to what we're looking for—success, status, well-being, peace, you name it. We often even come with our own ways that we think are the best way to live. But if we really look at our lives... how are our "ways" working for us? Jesus is very exclusive when he calls himself not a way, but THE Way. He...

What do you do when the God who has the last word doesn’t speak what you want to hear? Oftentimes, our good plans don’t turn out the way we expect. In John 11, Martha asks the question we all ask at some point in our lives. “Why? God, why?” And as she grapples with deep disappointment, we see Jesus respond in great love and great power. Listen to this week’s sermon as guest teacher, Tony Calabrese...
