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 Ian dives into the phrase, “God is my co-pilot,” and how we are called to surrender the wheel.bridge.tv/sermonsTo support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

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.

So often we pride ourselves on doing things by ourselves, on our own, without help from anyone.

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.

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 Jesus saying I am the True Vine. bridge.tv/sermonsTo support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

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 way, but THE Way. He is so clear on this aspect of who He is that we have no margin to think of Him as just another option to what our hearts are really longing for. Listen to this week's sermon as guest teacher, Grant Skeldon, dives into this way that Jesus identifies Himself and how we can experience the depth of His heart toward us through this truth. bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

God, why?” And as she grapples with deep disappointment, we see Jesus respond in great love and great power.
