The Bridge - Clarksville

In our final message in the Showdown series, we look at how on Easter, the champion, Jesus Christ, gave the final crushing blow to the challenger, Satan, when the stone was rolled from the grave and Jesus walked out of the tomb.

This week, Pastor Chad looks at the choice that Jesus made to face death and go to the cross, and unpacking the idea that in order for something to truly live, first there has to be a death.

In this episode in our "Showdown" series, we take a look at Jesus, "The Champion". In striking contrast to "the challenger", Jesus is full of power and yet full of humility, full of justice and yet full of mercy, and we find that even in his power and glory, he was not given over to pride.

In today's message, Pastor Chad takes us through the "Tale of the Tape" on the ultimate villain, Satan. A look into our Enemy's name, hometown, strengths, and weaknesses helps us to understand why this fight took place and how we can be victorious in our daily battle against his schemes.

Pastors Josh and Jesse join with Pastor Chad to discuss this past Sunday's Message. In Matthew 6, Jesus instructs his followers to not worry or have anxiety about life. This is clearly one of Jesus's more difficult demands! Listen along as we dig in a little more to the idea that worry comes when when what we value is out of tune with what God values.

In so many areas of our lives today, we are often prone to want to just find quick fixes to symptoms. But Jesus taught that God is interested in not only fixing symptoms, but going after the root cause of our troubles. In today's message, we look at Matthew 6, where Jesus tells us not to be anxious, but instead calls us to trust Him and value the things of His Kingdom as a way of battling worr...

This week Pastor Chad takes us through Christ's teaching in Matthew 7, looking at how Jesus calls us to show our love and devotion to Him and His Kingdom not only by what we say, but by how we live.

This week, we continue through our series on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, looking at how Jesus taught his followers to pray.

At times there can be a hard tension as Jesus followers...we know we are to obey Jesus and live according to his commands and laws, and yet carrying out that kind of life in the midst of culture can feel daunting. How do we keep a focus on the Kingdom of God and still live in the fallen world around us? This is today's topic in our series, "The Message", looking at the teachings of J...

In our last sermon from the "Miracles" series, we look at the intriguing story of the man who was lowered down through a hole in the roof of the house where Jesus was teaching so that he could receive healing. In His infinite wisdom, Jesus knew the man's greatest need wasn't to be physically healed, but was something much deeper.

Why is it that we see some people receive miracles, and then there are others who don't? Is there a formula? Is there something we're missing? In today's episode, Pastor Chad helps us to see more clearly what a miracle really is, and why it is that sometimes God chooses to perform (or not perform) miracles.

Jesus was known as a miracle worker, but there were times when He was unable to perform miracles because the people lacked faith. Today we look at examples from Scripture of those who did show great faith in Christ and the miracles that were performed, and ask the question "do miracles still happen?".

In today's sermon we look at the first miracle Jesus performed, turning water into wine at a wedding in the town of Cana. Oftentimes today, just as when Jesus was physically walking among us, we can have a tendency to want God to perform a miracle in our lives...but are we more concerned with receiving a miracle than we are with having a relationship with the giver of miracles?

The end of the year is always a great time to assess and look back before moving forward into the new year, and as we end 2023 and launch into 2024, we look at ways to help prepare ourselves for what God has in store for us in this upcoming year. In order to be ready for what God wants to do in our lives, it's important that we take the necessary steps so that our lives are open for those mome...

As any parent knows, a baby really does change everything. And on that first Christmas night, the cry of the baby Jesus signaled the beginning of something completely new and different for the entire world. The Heavenly Father sent His only son who would grow up to provide a way for sinful humankind to be restored and redeemed, and it all began with God taking on human flesh in the form of a helpl...

Singing is something that God has created for mankind to do, something that accompanies a whole range of emotions and seasons of life. But there is something special when it comes to singing songs to and about God. It is one of the ways we express the joy we find in Him, and we can look back in Scripture to see people across the ages worshiping God in this way. The Christmas season is a wonderful...

Bells are an instrument that we use for many different things in our lives. For some, we have a bell sound to alert us of incoming texts or calls, for others bells let us know it's time for something to begin or end. But for many, when we get tired of hearing the bells, we start to silence them. God, in His own way, gives us many "bells" to alert us and help keep us on track...but wh...

This week begins a new series for the Christmas season entitled, "The Sounds of Christmas", and this Sunday we look at the long gap between the last time that God spoke to His people through the prophets, and the birth of Jesus when He once again spoke to mankind.

In our final message of this series, Pastor Chad helps us to understand why God is so good to us, and how recognizing how good He has been helps to cultivate a life of gratitude towards Him.

Oftentimes when circumstances are good and gifts from God are plentiful, it can be easy to have a grateful heart. But what does gratitude look like when seasons of life are hard and the gifts from God seem to have dried up? Pastor Chad helps answer this question and more in today's episode.
