The Bridge Church Sermons

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

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 this week’s sermon as guest teacher, Tony Calabrese, talks about who Jesus is in times of pain, disappointment, and grief. bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

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.Guest teacher, Ken Baugh, teaches on what it means for Jesus to be the Good Shepherd.

Jesus says, “I am the gate…” This name of Jesus is so profound in its implications of assurance for us as believers. Because of the safety and protection that only Jesus provides, we can run freely.Join us as guest teacher, Curtis Zackery, unpacks what Jesus meant in John 10 when he said, “I am the gate."bridge.tv/sermonsSupport the show

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
