Brookside Church

In week 3 of the Speak Life series, Pastor Ryan shows us how we can inspire others into a deeper faith.

In the second week of our mentoring series, Pastor Ryan uses the second chapter of 1 Timothy to illustrate how we can teach truth while discipling others.

Pastor Ryan kicks off a new series about mentoring, and in this message he teaches about the importance of healthy, biblical relationships. Using Paul's relationship with Timothy as a guide, Pastor Ryan shows us how we can begin to foster a dynamic mentor-mentee relationship with certain people God has placed in our lives..

In the final message of the Human series, Pastor Ben Kendrew uses the story of Daniel to show us how to live a life of integrity.

This week, Pastor Ryan uses Luke and 1 Peter to show us the importance of being humble.

This week, Pastor Ryan shows us how to handle conflict peacefully the way Abigail did in 1 Samuel.

When searching for examples of loyalty, one needn't look farther than Ruth. The loyalty she showed to her mother-in-law, Naomi, is a lesson we can all learn from no matter our age. In this message, Pastor Ryan shows use how we can display loyalty like Ruth.

Today we continue our Human series to look at David. We often think of David vs. Goliath, but do we think of the Kindness and tenderheartedness of David?

No matter how much we learn, attend church, go to bible studies and small groups, if we don't do anything with it, we're just storage devices aren't we? We really following Christ if we keep all that information to ourselves? Do you let the Word of God transform you?

Leadership isn't necessarily a trait you're born with. For many of us, it's a calling and we must learn to develop the skill. Using the story of Deborah found in Judges chapters 4 & 5, Pastor Ryan shows us how we can develop godly leadership.

Some of the best stories are about unlikely heroes. One such hero in the Bible is a prostitute, Rahab, who helped the Israeli army pass through Jericho. In this message, Pastor Ryan shows us how we can be heroes for Christ by following in the humble footsteps of Rahab leading up to this battle.

Courage is the opposite of fear. It means to "be of good cheer" or "boldness" and "confidence." In 1 Samuel, Saul's son, Jonathan, displayed great courage by standing up to his father in support of his best friend, David. In this message, Pastor Ben Kendrew examines the courage of Jonathan and shows us how to apply that model of courageousness to our own lives.

We're human. We have our faults. We struggle with our doubts. Using the story of Noah from the Book of Genesis, Pastor Ryan shows us how and why we should live with a confident faith — even in the midst of life's storms.

When you're faced with a problem, big or small. What do you do? The problem you see could be a symptom of a greater issue. You go to the root cause and address that first. In Corinth, Paul recognized that none of their issues were getting solved, unless they moved forward unified, as One. What bonds us is more important than what divides us.

Did you ever build a massive snow fort as a kid? Something that even Superman or Elsa could be proud of? Sometimes we still do that as adults. We build these walls around us to protect us from pain. Sometimes that wall looks like us ignoring something. Other times we hide something. Or maybe we hold a grudge against someone. None of this ultimately leads to healing though. Like the snow fort, your...

Has there been a time in your life where you can relate to Losing your Freedom? Maybe you've been abused or unjustly accused, your emotional health constricted because it was taken from you in some way. We continue to look at Joseph and his story how he lost his freedom, but what is it that he chose to do with that?

We've been facing the battle of Temptation most of our lives. We have to make a choice, just like Eve did in the garden. It can come in many different forms. We were punished not for the temptation, but what we did with that temptation. What do you do with the temptations in our life?

We come across many instances or circumstances in our lives that are not as we have planned. We look at the story of Joseph and his trials. Has some in your life rejected you? Did God bring someone else along to invest and connect with you? Even in the midst of tragedy, God is still working.

When we share the Good News, we assume that they need to have the same experience that we did. We have little patience for people who are hesitant, or take a step back. We try and control everything about the process. What we need to really is people and faith are messy. Then we shut down, get quiet and pass the buck to someone else because we don't have success. What could happen if we could deci...

There's times in our lives where we get pumped up and excited for something like "Breakfast Guy". Will we maintain our excitement about sharing the Gospel when it costs us something?

Our lives are full of moments. Moments that will remain memories that could last a lifetime. Sometimes there will be moments with the spotlight is on you. How will you Seize The Moment? What will you say? What will people remember.

How many of us fall into the category of one of those people who can't keep their mouth shut? Most times, we believe it's best to not say anything, but the argument could be made that there are times we MUST speak. We look at Peter's story and ask how does he speak the Good News to the people. He speaks of Hope.

Have you ever seen a man.... driving next to you.....naked......? Some things you just can't unsee. Imagine being Mary and not being able to see Jesus. Often times today, we don't look past what's right in front of us. We're consumed with other things, that aren't the Risen King. Do you see Him?

Do you view people as sinners? Or do you see people the way God sees you; as sons and daughters of the Lord. Who are the people in your life that you've written off? Do you think God has done the same? Jesus was a friend of sinners. Are you?

We're surrounded by people in our everyday lives. Some of them very influential in our lives and we may even look up to them as counselors and leaders. How well you do you feel like you know them? Do you know the Whole Person? Or just a portion of them?
