Genesis 6-9 In every corner of the earth, different cultures (independent of each other) describe a similar story of a "great flood" that long-ago reset humanity. In the Bible, God chose a man name Noah to preserve life and start the world brand new. Amidst a culture whose rising tides seek to drown us and the inevitable judgment that will follow - how can Followers of Jesus float above the storm?...

Genesis 1&3, 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 Each and every person is born into a family filled with history. That history can come to define us, empower us, or haunt us. Through his weakness, the first father of humanity, Adam, created a rift with the Divine that is still felt today. Despite this, God in His mercy planted the first "Easter Egg" in the Old Testament that would one day lead to the deliveran...

The Next Level Matthew 5:13-20 On a smoke-filled Mt. Sinai, Moses received the Law of God. At the time it was nothing short of transformational for the people of Israel. Yet despite having a clear & unique moral code to follow, the nation rejected God and descended into chaos time and time again. Over a thousand years later, Jesus ascended a new mount to address their ancestors. Jesus called them,...

Hope Everlasting Micah 5:1-4 700 years before the birth of Jesus, Israel faced the threat of yet another invasion. Despite the fear of uncertainty, the prophet Micah declared that Hope Everlasting was coming from Bethlehem. While our world today is full of troubles and pains, Christmas declares that there is more to the story than what meets the eye. Bethlehem's Hope Everlasting lives on today.

Join us this week as we conclude "The Christmas Truth in the Book of Ruth." We will see how this 3000 year old, seemingly insignificant narrative, became part of the Christmas story. You don't want to miss this week as Nathan Flim preaches his first sermon!

Coincidence, Providence & Mercy Ruth 2 In the moments when we lose our footing we can ask questions like: Does everything happen for a reason? Is there really such a thing as coincidence? Continuing this week in The Christmas Truth in the Book of Ruth, we will see God's providential mercy at work and hear His call to see who is "gleaning" in our fields.

Join us this week as we dive in to Matthew 5:10-13 with Brent!

In Matthew 5:9 Jesus doesn't say happy are the peaceFUL, or even happy are the peaceKEEPERS - He says "Happy are the peaceMAKERS." While that may sound great, the problem is peacekeeping is messy. Our aversion to risk and discomfort means that no one naturally bends towards peacemaking yet when we lean into the way of Jesus we find new life for all. Join Bridge Church this week for a dose of peace...

In verse 8 of Matthew 5, Jesus gives a stunning promise: that if we can become pure in heart we will see God! In this modern world filled with corruption, evil and temptation - how is it even possible to attain purity in heart? How can we find unity in our hearts when it is far too easy to become divided in focus? Matthew 5:8

Uncle Jesse, War heroes and the Lord who shows Mercy: In a world of ruthless cause and effect, mercy throws a wrench into the whole system. Through Spirit-empowered mercy, the entire trajectory of our lives can change. Join us this week as we explore the words of Jesus, 90's sitcoms and air battles with Nazis. Matthew 5:7

The original audience of the Sermon on the Mount was filled with people who were uncertain about life and, in that uncertainty, tried to find fulfillment by pursuing their own desires. Not much has changed since then. We often find ourselves chasing happiness. However, Jesus teaches us that we aren't to fill our lives with our own pursuits but are happy when we "hunger and thirst for righteousness...

Join Bridge Church this Sunday as we hear Pastor Ryan speak about the Scriptural link between contentment, gratitude and thanksgiving. We will also hear an incredible testimony of faith from Jeff and Kristy Dubbeldam.

When the Jews were uncomfortable under Roman occupation, Jesus told them that the "meek would inherit the earth." These strange words carry the same weight today as they did 2000 years ago. Happiness is not found in the fight. Happiness is not found in strength. Happiness comes when we place our lives in the hands of the Living God. Join us this week for a message on Meekness and we celebrate the...

Jesus taught that "Happy are those who mourn, for they will find comfort." Indeed, Happiness is not found through simply positive thinking or through avoiding difficult feelings and emotions. When we face our grief we discover the heart of God. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we dig into a Biblical understanding of mourning and how having an "honest look at life" can set us free to find deep...
