In this week's sermon, we explore one of Jesus’ final and most intimate claims: “I am the vine.” Spoken in the quiet upper room just before the cross, Jesus reveals Himself as the true source of life, growth, and connection. In a world where so many feel cut off, tired, or spiritually dry, this “I Am” statement shows us who Jesus really is—and what it means to truly abide in Him. As the vine,...

What do you do when God doesn't show up in the way - or the timing - you expected? In John 11, Jesus receives word that His dear friend Lazarus is deathly ill. Yet, instead of rushing to heal him, Jesus delays. Lazarus dies. Grief sets in. Hope seems lost. But in the middle of that pain, Jesus makes one of the most audacious claims in all of Scripture: "I am the resurrection and the life." Even wh...

Who is Jesus? That's not just a religious question - it's the most important question that you'll ever answer. While culture offers countless versions of Jesus - from a tuxedo-wearing party savior to a kung fu vampire hunter - we're going to look at what Jesus actually says about himself. This week, we begin with his bold claim: "I Am the Bread of Life." In a world starvi...

In a world increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of divine judgment, Jesus' teaching on hell cuts through the cultural noise with sobering clarity. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Jesus describes the reality of hell, the certainty of death, and the eternal consequences of our choices. Far from being a message of fear, this sermon serves as a wake up call - to reject counterfeit...

When it was time for Abraham to continue God’s legacy through his son Issac, he didn’t leave it to chance - he was intentional in how the next generation would be built. In the same way, our lives are not just about having a good time but leaving a good legacy. God’s plan for us extends beyond the present moment into future generations. By trusting Him and following His Word, we can build families...

Though God had been faithful to Sarah, she allowed anger and bitterness to develop due to past sin and family dysfunction. By refusing forgiveness, she allowed bitterness to rule her life, which had major consequences, not only for herself, but literally for generations to come. But we can learn how to walk in forgiveness and be set free of anger and bitterness. The Bridge Church exists to join Go...

In life, we must learn to overcome sin.  Sin is anything that is contrary to God’s design for our lives—both our actions and our thoughts.  But sin is not easy to overcome.  From the story of Lot’s family in Sodom, we see how difficult it can be to battle and overcome sin, especially when surrounded by a society that thrives on sinning.  But, you can overcome.  Sin doesn’t have to be your story. ...

The Bible describes the follower of Christ as an "exile." An exile is someone who lives in a location that is not their true home. We belong to a different kingdom that is coming—the kingdom of God. But while we are here, we are called to the love the world and contribute to its good. This message is on "Go Sunday" at The Bridge Church, and Pastor Ethan helps us know what it me...

In life, there’s often a gap between our present circumstances and our ultimate expectations. For the believer, there will be times when it seems God is not delivering on what he has promised. In these moments, we’re tempted to doubt God. This was also true of Abraham, the father of our faith. Though God had been clear about his plans and promises to Abraham and Sarah, they battled mightily with d...

As Abraham begins to follow God’s will for his life, he encounters difficulty and adversity. Unfortunately, Abraham succumbs to anxiety and let’s the anxiety govern his actions and decisions, which leads to unwanted outcomes. As we follow God, we must recognize anxiety will find us along the way, but we can battle anxiety if we remain confident in God's purposes for our lives. In this sermon, Past...

This is the first sermon in a series on the life of Abraham, one of the most critical characters in the story of God’s people. In this message, God calls Abraham to a new direction for his life, but God does not reveal the destination. Quite literally, Abraham would have to set out on a long journey trusting God with the direction. In life, God’s will for us is most often a direction and not a des...
