The Ridge Community Church

**The audio is a little low for the first few minutes**We have all uttered the statement, "there has to be more!" Truth is....there is more. It has everything to do with where we are looking for the MORE

What is it that matters most when it comes to your family, how you lead and what you do?

Who's driving and leading your family to the planned destination? Is there a destination? And are we looking to just get there while forgetting to enjoy the journey?

Who is the boss of your bling...Jesus, or YOU?

Many times we are guilty for worshiping the created over the Creator.

Do you struggle with past mistakes or things that happened to you out of your control? Do you feel like you've been labeled something you're not? Jesus is THE god of second chances and is greater than our past

We all have heroes. Some are from the comics, others are from the movies, some are real and others are in our lives every day. But we have a way of worshiping those created over the creator. Jesus IS the real hero and He is to be worshiped.

People throw rocks. They hurt. They leave scars. Thankfully, Jesus is a shield from those who throw rocks.

Are we in the last days? When will Jesus come back? IS He coming back? We take an honest look (and simple look) at what the Bible has to say about the return of Christ and the last days.

Do you have one? If you do, how do you know? What do you do with it? In week 4 of Questions, we talk about spiritual gifts and how you can know the gifts that God has given you to USE for His glory. We provided a SPIRITUAL GIFT TEST for you to take on our blog, theridgechurchblog.com

In part 3 of questions, pastor Bobby answers one of life's toughest questions. You might be surprised by the answer....again!

Do you know God's plan for your life? There is a way that you can know, and it may surprise you.

When God doesn't show up in our lives when and how we want Him to, we start asking questions. We may even wonder if he really is who He says he is and if he'll do all he promised he would do. In this message, we answer the question, did Jesus really rise from the dead.

If you're a believer, when you get to Heaven, ask around. Every story there will have begun with an invitation. We are called to be inviters; inviting people into God's story of redemption. So let's get out the invite!

In relationships, especially marriage, we can tend to be more selfish than servant. Christ has called us to reflect Him in our relationships, so the only way to do so is to exemplify a servants attitude. It's not about you.

Thanks to Justin and Trisha Davis as well as Brent and Tammy Hodge for some content (refineus.org)Sin is like trash. If left alone, it stinks up the house. We have to take it out. In a marriage concerning conflict, when we just let it go unresolved, it becomes like trash. Repetance and forgiveness is the best solution.

We've all disappointed someone haven't we? Maybe it was your spouse, or your boss, or a very close friend that you cut really deeply and you feel like you could never be forgiven. Luckily, we're not alone in that. The Bible tells us how Peter disappointed Jesus multiple times and how Jesus showed Peter grace; the same grace we can receive.

What is your role as a man/husband? What is your role as a woman/wife? Good thing the Bible tells us! Check out this past Sunday's message.

Friendship matters. Not only in general, but in all relationships. What kind of friend are you to your friends, your spouse and others? Do you make the boat better? Is Jesus in the boat?

It's no secret that in America, marriage is broken. But it doesn't have to be. Through Christ we can be made new and our marriages can be made new. We don't need a new spouse - we need new marriages.

If we want God to do something great through us we must first let Him do something great IN us.

Pastor Rusty Sampson gives a look at how religion can be toxic in our lives

First of 4 leadership summit talks with pastor Rusty and pastor Bobby, given 4 times a year to Ridge Church staff and volunteers

In a religious culture, giving is not celebrated, it is only lorded over people. In week 3 of Losing My Religion, we look at why we should celebrate giving, the impact it has, and how we can be part of it.

Jesus made simple what religion complicates. Religion says that we must believe before we follow. However, the Gospels tell us that Jesus only asked his disciples to follow. In the process of following, they finally believed.
