The Ridge Community Church

Jeremiah 17:9 Your heart will lead you in the wrong direction. It was not created to lead but to be lead. Jesus would love to replace your sick heart with a new one cleansed in His blood. This week's message will lead you back in the right direction.

Matthew 5:17-20 The law was given to the Israelites as a gift from God of Him describing how they could follow Him in daily life. The scribes and pharisees turned God's gift into the practice of religion, so that they themselves would be worshipped rather than God. This week's message explains how Jesus rebukes religion to get the people's worship and trust back toward God.

2 Chronicles 20: 1-4 / 12-23 Do you believe the myth "God will never allow in your life more than you can handle"? If so, it is imperative you hear this week's message. Bobby teaches through scripture how the above myth is a misunderstanding of 1 Corinthians 10:13.

Mark 8:14-18 Dan tackles the heavy subject of "doubt"; Is it ok to have questions about God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit? Click below and dive in to Dan's message encouraging how doubt can be healthy when dealt with properly.

John 3:16-18 I am going out on a "limb" with this next statement, John 3:16 is at the top of the list of most known verses today but could also be considered the least applied verse today. Generosity is the willingness to give something that is valuable to you that will be of even greater value to the recipient. In John 3:16, God willingly gave up His only Son of great value to Him becau...

Acts 8: 26-40 Many people ask this question, do I have to go to another city, state, country, or continent to be considered a missionary. This week's message lays out why the answer to that question is "no". A disciple is someone who follows Jesus, in other words, to follow Jesus is to be on mission. God has planted you to be a missionary right where you are, wherever that is today...

Acts 7: 55-60 Why does God allow pain and suffering if He is a good God? Bobby unpacks the above question that most of us have asked ourselves or been asked by someone else at some point in our lives. Grace will abound in your pain and suffering if you will allow it to.

Acts 7: 54-60 We give gifts to people we love and receive gifts from people we love, but God does so out of love. God's gifts of forgiveness and grace are limitless, so why not share them with the people you love. Bobby said it best, "Forgiven people forgive people."

Acts 6:1-7 Church, What is it? a plane, a bird, a flying squirrel, or a building. All jokes aside, church is none of these things. The greek word "ecclesia" for church means a gathering of people. We are the church. The real question is, "How do we match up to the early church?" It's not too late listen in on Bobby laying out 4 practices of the early church.

Acts 5: 27-42 Bobby paints a picture with words of what being bold looks like when powered by the Holy Spirit in the following statement. "Being bold is taking advantage of every opportunity provided by God and by creating opportunities even when we feel there are none!"

Colossians 3:17 & Romans 12:2 Due to technical difficulties in the recording of the Ridge weekly message, we give you the message pastor Bobby preached at City Lights Church, in Clinton Tn on how we can know God's plan for our lives.

Acts 2: 42-48 Bobby challenges us all to ask this question of ourselves, "What would my life show I'm devoted to?" Sadly people of todays church devotion to "self" differs greatly with the people from the early church's devotion being Jesus' teaching.

Acts 4: 8-35 Kevin's message methodically uses the bunny suit scene from "A Christmas Story" to symbolize storms we all face in life. In continuation of the Acts series, Kevin's reference (Acts 4) teaches us how to trust God and reject the "bunny."

Acts 3: 1-26 Atonement is a big church word used to describe how all can be reconciled back to God through Jesus Christ. At the time of Jesus' crucifixion on the cross, reconciliation was made available to every bystander in the crowd that shouted "Crucify Him", the disciples that turned their back on Him, and even to the Roman soldiers physically responsible for His death.

Acts 2: 1-41 Bobby's sermon brought to light that God's word has life in Jesus name and so do you and me. Seeing an resurrected Jesus forever changed Peter, but Jesus says an even greater gift is having Him in us as the Holy Spirit.

1 John 1: 7-10 Wesley unapologetically portrays Jesus as the gospel. We are blemished (unacceptable to God) and Jesus is not; so through Jesus alone can we be acceptable to God.

1 Corinthians 10:13 Human nature says, "God won't give you more than you can handle." Rusty explains this statement is untrue because Jesus didn't say it nor does the Bible teach it.

1 John 1: 8-10 Bobby unpacks three cultural misconceptions that dangerously waters down man's relationship with sin.

Bobby challenges us all with this question, "What kind of person does God want you to be?" This sermon lays out how life change can happen in response to questions.

Acts 26: 9-18 God can't use your "stuff" if you keep it all under the rug. Your past will affect your present whether you want it to or not. The real question is will it be inhaled for your keeps or exhaled to fill God seats.

Galatians 5:16-18 "Control is the illusion that we hold the power to change an event in our lives." Bobby's message breaks down how giving control away sets us free.

Hebrews 12:14-15 "A right relationship with Jesus can lead to a right relationship with people!" (Bobby's bottom line)

Galatians 5:13-16 Wesley walks us through how what he calls "living right side up" can stop sabotaging self, family, and church.

Luke 24:1-12 Historical evidence a man named Jesus died on a cross, but there is mixed evidence/theory if Jesus actually resurrected. Bobby takes us through Biblical evidence proving Jesus is very much alive today!

John 11:1-44 In closing up the Ridge Prayer series Bobby challenges us with this question. "Do you trust God?"
