The Bridge Church Sermons

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 light into difficult situations and dark seasons. And Jesus makes this invitation to whoever believes.Listen to “Whoever You Are,” at bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show

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. Check out “You Can’t Buy Bread” at bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Nothing you’re doing for Jesus, big or small, is a waste of time. In John 13, Jesus washed his disciples' feet, including Judas who was moments away from betraying him. Loving and serving like Jesus has nothing to do with whether or not the other person is worthy. For, it was when we were unworthy that Christ loved and served us and made us worthy. When we serve, we make the God who is love visible.

Obedience can often be thought of as blind compliance, simply following the rules because we’re supposed to follow them. In turn, we can find ourselves almost following God’s commands. But moral obligation is the antithesis of why we follow God in obedience.In Acts 5, we watch as the disciples fill the city with the name and gospel of Jesus. Not because they’re supposed to, but because they are compelled by the working of the Holy Spirit and because they, themselves, have been transformed by the good news of Jesus. Check out this week’s sermon, “Moving from Almost to Action,” at bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show

Many of us approach life like some kind of balancing act, like trying to balance out the scales. And we often carry this balancing act into our relationship with God. But there is no place for scales in God’s Kingdom–His grace knocks them down.It is this grace that Paul and Silas extend to a jailer in Acts 16. It is this grace that causes the jailer to ask, “What must I do to be saved?” It is this grace that saves him.Listen to this week’s sermon, “We Are Still Here,” at bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show

The early church was characterized in several ways, not the least of which was by their generosity. These early Christians were mirroring the generosity of Jesus–the one who so loved the world that he gave his life.This week, in Acts 2, we learn how the first century church practiced generosity spiritually, physically, and missionally.

We’re all leaving a legacy whether we realize it or not. The question is, what kind of legacy do you want to leave? In Acts 20, Paul instills a legacy on the Ephesian elders. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, he left a legacy of service with a life poured out for others.What might it look like to live for the days you won’t see?Listen to this week’s sermon, “Living a Life Poured Out,” at bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

In Acts, Jesus entrusts the early church with a mission–to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. That mission is the same for believers today. But with a charge like this, we can often find ourselves asking, “How?”Listen to this week’s sermon on living as everyday missionaries and bringing the gospel to every table.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

The road to Emmaus is the gap between crushed expectations and deep longing. In Luke 24, we find two men walking this very road, and they find a stranger walking with them–or so they think. A stranger who listens to their pain and walks alongside them in their grief.Just when they thought it was over, the resurrected Christ was in their very midst. Easter means that nothing is impossible with God. Even in the most dire of circumstances, Jesus shows up. Suffering does not have the last word.Listen to this Easter sermon about how Jesus responds when we have lost all hope.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Prior to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, the cross was a symbol of terror and intimidation. So, on this Good Friday, as we remember the excruciating death of Jesus, how can we call today good? Because death did not have the final say. Listen to this Good Friday sermon on how we linger in the ache because there is no resurrection without a crucifixion.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show
