West Bridge Church Sermons

This week we look at what Jesus promised the disciples in the midst of their pain to redirect their thoughts & bring them joy. We think you'll experience the same thing, as God's word is applied to your life!

We thrive in relationship. God has given it to us, called us to it, and gives us what we need to keep them going! Paul and Timothy give us great insight into what friendship in motion looks like - we'll be in 2 Timothy 4 for this week's message. "But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might he...

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'  For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matthew 9:12-13 Jesus showed us what it looks like to live out love in motion. In this week's message we'll see how we can be more authentic and approachable followers of Jesus!

This Sunday we're in the next several verses in Romans 12 looking to see how we can be others-focused and open our hearts and homes to those around us.   "Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Romans 12:13

We're starting the new year off right, desiring to become more like Jesus! We'll be in Romans 12 and learning 3 practical tools to implement daily to make our year the best one yet.

Lasting joy is found with Jesus. He was born on that special day and placed in a manger and then he bore our sin and shame on the cross. There are 3 truths out of Isaiah 11 & 12 we can trust to anchor our joy. We'll be hearing what those are and how we can experience this joy each and every day. 

" When they saw the star they were OVERJOYED! "  The wise men were filled with joy, followed the star and they made their way to the Messiah, giving him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This week we will be reminded of the joy of the wise men in the story in Matthew 2. 

The wonder of Jesus' birth never gets old! The angels sang a song that sparked JOY in all who heard, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" We will be in Luke 2 for this week's message.

In the moments between God's promise and His provision, this song of Zechariah's will help us wait with joy as we look forward to the good God has in store for us!

As we jump into Luke chapter 1 we see a song of Mary that encourages us to praise the Lord with every part of our being! Let's focus our hearts towards Mary's example with the hope that God fulfills His plan and keeps His promises. God did great things for Mary and He has been and is doing great things for you, too. 

Every Sunday is an opportunity to bring our gratitude to the Lord through worship, but THIS Sunday is an extra special day! As we wrap up the book of Philippians, we'll witness the generosity of the church at Philippi through Paul's account and let that inspire our own generosity. 

Have you ever felt like living the Christian life has gotten cumbersome, in trying to focus on certain aspects or make sure you're doing the 'right things'?  Paul reminds us in Philippians 3 to focus on THIS one thing. Be encouraged to embrace the sweet simplicity of focusing our eyes on the ONE THING that matters most!

This week we look at how we can have JOY even through those really difficult times in life. As Paul writes in Philippians 3, how can we truly 'rejoice in the Lord'? Psalm 16:8-11 will encourage us to keep our eyes always on the Lord, so that we will not be shaken, even when the earth around us seems to shake. 

In the second half of chapter 2, Paul gives us 2 human examples with Christlike qualities to develop in our own lives.  We can't wait to consider along with you, how God may want to continue to develop these qualities in us, together.

How do we navigate the divisive political arena as followers of Christ? This message will encourage us as Christ-followers to be 'salt & light' as we live our lives for HIM. We'll be equipped with some practical steps we can take, nearing election day and beyond!

If you ever feel 'stuck' in your walk with the Lord, this passage from Philippians 2.12-18 will help us use some tools to gauge our growth. We'll tackle 3 specific ways the Lord changes us more into His likeness and experience the JOY of transformation!

We're moving to Chapter 2 of Philippians and looking at how we can live a life worthy of the gospel of Christ in the realm of our relationships. We'll see how our JOY can spread to those around us as we fix our eyes on Christ!

The truth we find in Philippians 1:27-30 is JOY-SPARKING truth for our lives! Paul helps us return to an essential of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, and reminds us that as we treasure HIM, it's sure to spark some major JOY in our lives. 

Joy in our lives is a project. And like most projects, they never quite go like you'd expect. They take longer than you'd hope and sometimes you come away learning something you didn't know at the beginning. This week we take a look at the second half of chapter 1 in Philippians. Paul is writing from an unexpected place and he leaves us with 4 opportunities to consider for our...

This week's message takes us through Paul's letter to the Philippians. We will start unpacking the joy of living in a Christ-centered community and as we gather, we pray it ignites joy in your own soul - for one another and for our Lord!

It is our official reveal of the new theme of the 24.25 Ministry Year! We can't wait to head into the next year following Christ together! 

"The only constant in life is change." Have you heard this quote before? While we know the truth of who our God is  never  changes, it's also very true that life on this earth is full of change and transitions!
