Church At The Bridge Sermon Podcasts

Join us this week as we continue in Romans 13. This chapter gives us guidance on how to view and deal with civil authorities. When you think of the current times we are in, is your heart open to God’s direction or your feelings? An important piece to consider is God is the originator of all authority, but He is not initiator of ungodly leadership. He is the supreme and final authority of all creat...

In God's kingdom, one + one = one. God's way to completeness and wholeness doesn't happen independently of relationships with His people. So why do many of us resist being in a community with others? In Week 10 of our current series, "I'm Alright!" we examine Romans 12:3-8. Romans 12 reveals that each one of us carries gifts and that we are gifts of God to each other. If we are to enjoy the power...

You are alright because you are moving with God! In this message Pastor Marcus Gill expands on Romans 12:1-2 with nine points that encourage us to continually keep moving with God while constantly are renewing and transforming our minds.

Can you imagine a life lived where you spend time with God daily, where you stop all the noise and busyness of the day and you daily quiet yourself before Him, listening to what He says? We too must make room! But why make room? First of all, it’s for you, so that you will know Him better and fall in love with Him more deeply. Secondly, it’s for you to share with others, so they may know Him bette...

How vulnerable are we as followers of Christ, to receive misinformation? When you think about who you receive information from, is it in line with God’s Word or is it what the world says is true? So often we get tangled up in the buzz of breaking news, receive what someone has said, or accept what we think of ourselves and others. When these things overpower what God says, we can go from a place o...

In week 7, we dive into Romans 8 and the story of Jonah. Romans compares the difference between living by the flesh and living by the Spirit; One leads to life while the other leads to death. Our daily lives are a byproduct of what we are allowing to settle and be established in our minds. What are you full of? God’s voice is always present in our lives but are we listening to Him or us? Many of u...

Join us as we go into week 6 of the latest series, I’m Alright! This week we explore what it means to break free. Break free from our past lives, past mistakes, past mindsets. One of the most difficult things that any follower of Christ faces is breaking free from the identity we held prior to Christ. In Romans 6, it brings light to an important truth that we must come to grips with. Christ broke...

Do you believe what God’s word says about you or do you believe what you feel and see about yourself? This week we continue in the book of Romans and talk about Bartimaeus. He was a blind beggar, who believed in the healing power of Jesus. The crowd tried to keep him quiet and didn’t believe he was worthy of calling out to Jesus. They identified him by his disparity, his lifestyle, and outward app...

We continue with our latest series, “I’m Alright.” Where are we putting our confidence? If it’s in things, people, or pursuits…these will never sustain you. The only thing that matters is what God has done. This week we see that in Abraham’s story. He was once a pagan worshipper and sought to please a god with things and right actions. Jesus was clear when He told Abraham leave the territory he wa...

“You don’t owe God anything because He has given everything for you.” Do you consider all that you strive for, do, or plan, in order to please God? To justify your salvation or to remove the moment you dropped the ball? Nothing you have done or will do will ever separate you from God’s love. His love is constant and permanent. We see this as we continue in the book of Romans in our latest series,...

Welcome to week two of our latest series, “I’m Alright!” This weekend we invite you to open your hearts as He reveals Himself to us from His word on the topic of Turn Around! We continue to dive into the book of Romans, a letter written by Paul. In chapter two of Romans, Paul is addressing a serious dilemma. The church body was preoccupied with passing judgment for the very things they themselves...

Welcome to our new series, “I’m Alright.” We are going to be diving into the book of Romans. At the time this letter was written, Rome was heavily influenced by Greek mythology and idol worship. Jews were being banned from Rome because they refused to partake and acknowledge Emperor Claudius as god and Gentiles and Jews were now in the church. This brought about discontent because some believed in...

As we conclude the series, “Mending Fences,” we learn more about God’s wisdom for our lives. From the sluggard, who had it all to the fall of mankind, we see that when we operate in our own strength and desires, our fences are compromised. In Genesis, Adam and Eve forsook God’s wisdom when they sought after their own desires and ate from the tree of knowledge. We learn that they were overwhelmed w...

Your Invited | First Wednesday (Communion & Worship Service) by Church At The Bridge

What would the sluggards life look like if he said no? No to the thorns, weeds, and overcast of doubt, hurts, or troubles. This week we explore the power of “No.” It is such a short word but carries a strong meaning for many of us. You may be surprised but “no” can keep you within the confounds of God and His will for your life. He doesn’t ask us to agree with every request or task rather He remin...

Do you live behind the walls of offense? It hurts when all you do is hold onto the hurt; God doesn’t want that for our lives. You are deceived if you believe withholding forgiveness benefits you. There is a blessing when we do what the word of God says, and it opens the door of opportunity for blessings and maturity. In Romans 12, we learn that peace is our choice, to grasp, to take hold of. Are y...

We have been learning that the fences we build may need repair but more importantly, do your fences provide peace and safety? Not the worldly concepts of peace and safety but God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. The goal is to live with a confidence that is enveloped in God’s promises. In this message we learned that Israel had a hardened heart and David sought to include God despite turn...

Today we start a new series, “Mending Fences.” Think about this title for one moment. Now consider this weeks sermon title “your side of the fence.” If we are honest with ourselves, how often do we look at our side of the fence? Have there been small breaks occurring? Or, have you been covering them up to postpone repair? As we dive into this series, God teaches us that we can create personal fort...

First Wednesday: Christ Our Comfort by Church At The Bridge

We conclude our latest series, “A Place called Rest.” Rest isn’t a matter of leisurely activities or creating endless plans for the next five years. Our Good Father encourages us to embrace the peace He freely gives and allow Him to lead the way. If you’re spending time focused on the plans of your life, you can miss out on His gift. He calls us to trust in Him, in all of our ways. This requires d...

As we explore the battle the Israelites took upon themselves, we see that they were placing great faith in their decision making. They focused on their own strength and doing rather than involving God into their pursuits. God is a gentleman, He will fight for you, but He will not fight you. Just as the Israelites did, we can turn to our own methods of attack, and leave God, as a last resort. What...

In today’s message, we are diving deeper into understanding God’s promise to give us rest. We explore this through the life of Solomon, a man of great wealth and reign. Often times, as Solomon, we can start out with wanting what God wants. But, if we are not utilizing wisdom to understand God’s direction; we end up grinding for an outcome He has already provided! We have an open invitation to ente...

The journey of life is one filled with unexpected twists and turns that can at times leave us burdened and weary… but it doesn’t have to be that way! In this message we learn how to remain in God’s rest while in the middle of our distress as we look to God and learn to trust in Him.

Every one wrestles with the natural tendency to live life at their own pace; we march to the beat of our own drum; we approach life as we see it fit. But it never leads us into a state of God’s promised rest. In this message we learn how to change the pace of our lives as we yoke ourselves to Christ and follow Him into His rest.

Faith in Christ is a life-long journey that we oftentimes tend to complicate by way of the “stuff” we pick up along the way. In this message we are encouraged to let go of areas of our lives that get in the way of a relationship with Christ so that we can travel light in life.
