The Bridge Church Sermons

Let's call it like it is: November 3rd, 2020 will be chaos. The presidential race will reach its final days, and America will wait in anticipation to see just where the country is headed and with what leader at the forefront.  Where should Christians fall in the midst of it? How do we engage in politics? Do we vote Republican, or do we vote Democrat? Do we vote at all?  This is an important m...

Love  earnestly . Not moderately . Not when you "feel like it." Not only when it's easy.  To love earnestly is a sacrifice, but it's one of our greatest callings—to love people in a way that requires setting aside our differences, our circumstances, and our comfort so that they can feel an earnest love like Jesus'.  If you can set a table and open your door, you can be the...

Read the story of Mark 2. Think about the friends of the paralytic. When they couldn't get through the crowd to get to Jesus, they wrecked the roof—literally. It was risky and dangerous… but they saw what Jesus could do and wanted that for their friends too.  The beauty of what Christ did for the paralytic was that he went beyond meeting an immediate physical need—he first healed him spiritua...

a·bide (verb): to dwell in; to make one’s home in.  What does this mean in our relationship with God—to truly abide and rest in Christ? If you’re living a life that feels too busy to even live… this is for you.  Support the show

Say the name.  Stay the course.  See the power.  Carry it boldly and drop Jesus’ name courageously—wherever you go, with whomever you meet.  Support the show

Are you on the edge of something big, or feeling like God is calling you to a new thing... but you're just not sure? Or maybe you're in the middle of uncertain times and you just want to "jump ship"... but the water seems rocky and it would take a big step of faith to do that.  Here's a reminder: Sometimes, to see what Jesus wants to do in our lives, we have to step out of...

Between God's promises and His payoff is a process , and when we try to do things on our time, we end up with short-term payoff... but long-term pain. Why is there a waiting season, we ask? It's because all fruit has a season. A waiting season is never a wasted season. What is God trying to do in you while He's asking you to wait?  "It is good that one should wait quietly for t...

God has reconciled us to be reconcilers. When we experience the life-changing grace of Jesus, it's not just for us to keep to ourselves. We have been given a ministry to be like the friends of the paralytic, who each took a corner of the mat where the paralyzed man lay and brought him closer to Jesus for healing. Are you keeping the change to yourself?  Support the show

The things we feel about ourselves—that we aren't good enough, smart enough, worthy enough—may be  real,  but that doesn't make them  true. Here is some good news: God does not measure us by how much we resemble Christ, but instead by how much we are  in Christ. " There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 Support the show

The Christian life means living out who you are in Christ. Sin says you’re stuck where you are, but grace says Jesus comes to you. How would you live differently if you lived in this truth?  Support the show

We are the living stones being stacked together into a house where the Spirit dwells, and there’s a degree of the presence of God that we'll never experience unless we take the living stones of our lives and cement them together in gospel community. Peter's message to us is that our faith can be personal, but it's not designed to be private. Being in community is the framework for c...

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "If I can just change ________, everything will be better"? Try as we may, no change we can ever make in ourselves is enough to fix the problem inside of us. The truth is that we are too broken to make a lasting change, and we are too weak to do it alone. There is no change without exchange--giving up our own power and strength to take on that of J...

The strength that we need is a strength that is not our own. Jesus purchased and gifted us the strength that we need to keep going when it feels like life is a marathon, and in times when we feel like we've hit a hill we can't pass, we can remember there was something who has already finished the marathon for us.  Support the show

What is "true worship?"John 4:23 says that true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, not just in temples and church buildings. Through worship, the gospel can be shared and our hearts can be moved to deeper understanding of God. This time, we walked through the gospel story through song, and now the challenge is this: how do we respond?  To support this ministry and he...
