The grace of God has profound power—freeing power, saving power, transforming power. And the most profound part of it all… it’s a gift. We have a new way to live and a new identity when we rise from the waters of baptism. Join us as we take another look at what it means to be crucified with Christ and raised to new life through salvation. Catch the…

First John #20 - This is the last sermon in the First John series. John concludes his letter with the instruction to keep from idols. In this sermon, Pastor Eric looks at what idols are, why they are dangerous, and what we should do with them.

God has a way of bringing the good news, and usually, He sends a person. In Acts 8, God sends Philip on a 60-mile journey into the desert to bring the good news of Jesus to one person.

How do we live faithfully in the tension between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world? Jesus gets to the heart of this question in Matthew 22.

First John #18 - What do we do when our real life experience of being part of the church doesn’t match the picture that John has painted for us in this letter? John tells us the answer is to pray.

How should we, as Christians, engage in politics? It can be tempting to simplify it to who we vote for or what policies we support. But it’s about more than that. In today’s sermon we explore how our engagement in politics directly ties into who we’re becoming. Listen to the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons. To support this …

First John #17 - is faith in Jesus reasonable? According to John, it is because God has given us three witnesses that testify to who Jesus is.

When we recognize that all we have belongs to God, our giving becomes an expression of gratitude. We don’t follow a grumpy Savior who begrudgingly gave his life. Rather, we worship a generous King who lovingly gave all that he had for us. Join us in this final week as we discuss how the generosity of Jesus is reflected in those who follow him. List…

So often we find ourselves wanting just a little more. Yet, in 1 Timothy 6, Paul warns followers of Christ to be on guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not exist in the abundance of possessions, rather, the abundant life we seek is found when we follow the way of Jesus. Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and bridge.tv/sermons.…

We are treasuring creatures. This week we’re asking ourselves where our treasures lie. Because, as Matthew 6 tells us, where our treasure is, our heart will be.

First John #13 - In this passage of scripture, John teaches us that where we go spiritually depends on who we are following.Por Eric Scott

Cain took his brother’s life, yet Jesus gave his life for us. This is how we know what love is. 1 John 3 calls us to love one another not merely with the absence of hate, but with the presence of action. Join us as Pastor Ian discusses how our aim isn’t just to be loving, but to become a people of love–reflecting the love and person of Jesus. Catch…

First John #13 - We are back in our First John series this week. In today's sermon, Pastor Eric teaches about the confidence that comes from knowing God's love for us.Por Eric Scott

Have you ever wondered if you’re truly saved or if your faith is genuine? You’re not alone. 1 John addresses why we can rest in the assurance of our salvation as well as tangible ways real faith is lived out by the believer. Join us as guest speaker, Dr. Ken Baugh, talks about how the motivations of our hearts and our resulting actions are transfor…

During the summer, we will have several guest speakers and preachers share from God's Word. Is being Christian worth it? It's an uncomfortable question that we have probably all wondered at one point or another. This is the question that Pastor Niels Van De Kasteele works to answer by looking at one of Jesus' parables in his sermon. In the parable …

If we know that navigating in the dark can be dangerous physically, why do so many of us insist on doing it spiritually?

Would you be surprised to hear that we tend to pursue joy in the wrong places? Probably not. Would you say that you are experiencing deep joy? In 1 John, we'll see how simply knowing Jesus will not produce the greatest joy. This week, Pastor Cory unpacks how we encounter true fulfillment. bridge.tv/sermons To support this ministry and help us conti…

In Matthew 19, Jesus calls a rich young ruler to surrender his possessions. This man kept all the rules–he also kept his heart for himself. We have a God who isn’t merely interested in our obedience, our God is interested in our hearts. What would it look like to surrender moment by moment to God? Would our hearts remain the same? Join us as Pastor…

During the summer, we will have several guest speakers and preachers share from God's Word. Fear. We are all familiar with this feeling. There is always something for us to be scared of or to worry about. Our lives can feel like they are full of storms. In this sharing, our church brother Derby looks at the well-known passage in Matthew of Jesus ca…

Maybe you’ve heard it said or maybe you’ve said it yourself that “everything happens for a reason.” While this phrase is often said with good intentions, it carries dangerous theological implications. This week we’re looking to Romans 8 as we seek Biblical understanding in response to inexplicable circumstances. Join us as we discuss how our God mo…

First John #12 - In this passage of scripture John commands us to love one another. This may seem straight-forward until we realize that our understanding of what love is shapes how we interpret this teaching. In today's sermon we explore what John really means when he commands us to love one another.…

So often we pride ourselves on doing things by ourselves, on our own, without help from anyone. And we’ve heard it said that, “God helps those who help themselves.” But is there any Biblical basis for that? If Jesus saved us when we were dead in our sins, when we could not help ourselves… then this statement couldn’t possibly be true. Join us as Pa…

First John #11 - When we follow Jesus, our lives will begin to look like His.Por Eric Scott

We’ve all heard it said, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But is this statement Biblically sound or does it just sound Biblical? Pastor Ian explores the meaning behind 1 Corinthians 10:13 and how we are called to depend on God and on one another. Listen to this week’s sermon at bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us c…

First John #10 - In today's sermon, we look at what it means to be a child of God in our world today.Por Eric Scott

The scandal of the love of God is that it cannot be manifested, earned, or surpassed. The love of God is given. It is given to us because of who Jesus is and what he has done in our place. He invites us into this love and calls us to remain in his unending love. Join us as guest teacher, Mike Kelsey, teaches through John 15 and the implications of …

This week one of our church members, Mani, shares about the Holy Spirit and how we need the Holy Spirit to help us follow Christ.Por Mani Manikandan

We don't live in any shortage of people or ideas claiming to be "a way" to what we're looking for—success, status, well-being, peace, you name it. We often even come with our own ways that we think are the best way to live. But if we really look at our lives... how are our "ways" working for us? Jesus is very exclusive when he calls himself not a w…

What do you do when the God who has the last word doesn’t speak what you want to hear? Oftentimes, our good plans don’t turn out the way we expect. In John 11, Martha asks the question we all ask at some point in our lives. “Why? God, why?” And as she grapples with deep disappointment, we see Jesus respond in great love and great power. Listen to t…

First John #9 - Some writers have referred to the Holy Spirit as "the Cinderella of Christian doctrine" or "the forgotten God." But John teaches that for Christians to stand firm in the face of false teaching, this forgotten God is an essential resource. Who is the Holy Spirit and how does he help Christians fight false teaching? This sermon aims t…

Jesus has many names. One of those names is the Good Shepherd. In John 10 Jesus outlines the kind of love he had for us: a love that is committed, intimate, and generous.

Today we are going to look at what discipleship is and how it happens.Por Eric Scott

In John 8, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” Many of us are familiar with this language, yet, the meaning and implications are often lost on us. This week, Pastor Cory unpacks three aspects of light that Jesus brings to bear on our lives. Not only do we experience the light of Christ, but with the Holy Spirit in us, we get to carry his lig…

First John #7 - John warns us to be careful of what we love, because what we love shapes what we do and who we become.Por Eric Scott

What must we do to know God? We start by knowing his name. In his own words, Jesus tells us, “I am the Bread of Life.” In John 6, as people ask him for food, he shifts the conversation from a temporal, physical need to eternal, spiritual sustenance. Jesus gives true seekers the way to this eternal bread, and it’s not something that can be bought. C…

First John #6 - John writes to remind his readers of what is true of them in Jesus. As Christians, remembering our identity is one of the most important things we can do in order to live the lives God calls us to live. In this sermon, we look at what is true of God's people, why it is important to remember and steps we can take to help us remember.…
