Church At The Bridge Sermon Podcasts

The last supper was more than a final meal, it was a declaration and depiction of what our Lord was establishing for his church. That we would become one body and one people and that our focus would become singular in our worship of the one and true living God.

When challenged do you expect the best or see the worse? We have the right and a reason to life life as an overcomer. In this message we learn what we must do when we struggle to overcome and drift away from our identity. By looking at the example of Jesus and the disciples we learn three key points that will help us make it though the storm and to win the day.

If we are going to Win The Day, we must consider what we are filling our day with. For most life consists of wanting more; more time, more things, more people, more money, more, more more... The only thing we need more of is Jesus and less of everything else. In this message, we learn from the story of Elisha and a widow how to stop seeking temporary fixes and to seek eternal fixes when we give God less of what we want.

Change is oftentimes challenging. We like what we grow accustomed to, we like to be in the know or prefer only what we know. Yet change is necessary if we're going to get anywhere with our faith and in life. To win at life we must be willing to challenge our perception of change sot hat we can be all that God created us to be and thrive in all that He created us to do. In this message, we learn from the life of Jabez and how we overcome the challenge of change.

With the start of the new year, there are many people who choose to aim for goals and a new mindset to inspire growth and opportunities in the new season of their lives. A lot of these goals and resolutions often come with a promise to ourselves that sounds good, but do we have the plan to execute these new goals? In this message, we learn how to evaluate the steps that need to take place to achieve our goals and what we need to keep doing, start doing, and stop doing in order to achieve that goal.

What we do today matters because it determines the fulfillment of God’s purposes and the influence or lack of influence that can exert in our lives. In this message, we learn from the moment Moses realized the opportunity for a miracle was in his hands. We also learn how to start using the faith we have at hand and how to grow strong with the ability to withstand all that life throws at us.

At the birth of Christ, there were so many that saw the star that shone brightly and announced his entrance as Savior but not everyone saw the same thing. In this message, we learn how to let our light shine in the world so that others can see the light that Christ is in our lives.

While the Grinch attempted to steal Christmas by taking the presents, food, and Christmas trees from the Whos in Whoville he was in shock when he heard them singing on Christmas morning. Like the Grinch, many people did not know that they had a part in God's Joy with Jesus' birth. In this message, we learn how to lead our lives with joy and how to choose joy in the midst of trying situations.

Like the Grinch, there were many who at the birth of Christ, could not conceive or receive the gift that Christ was meant to be unto them. In this message, we look at the day Zechariah almost stole his own gift. We learn how to go from stealing from ourselves to receiving what God has already promised.

Have you ever had a wave of hopelessness wash over you? God wants us to overflow with hope because he desires that we have joy and peace. In this message, we learn how to find hope by staying focused on the future, remembering that problems are temporary, and being aggressive in prayer.

In the story of the Grinch, we are told his heart was two sizes too small. In the same way, when we do not seek to understand who Christ is and his purposes for our lives, our hearts will shrivel and grow cold. In this message, we learn how King Herod had no room in his heart for another king and how we can enlarge our hearts to make room and relinquish control for the plans and purposes God has for our lives.

When we sow God's Word consistently into our life, it will produce growth in us spiritually and in our day-to-day life. All growth starts small and those small seeds that God is planting in our life through His word are working in us to develop great results. Church matters because it is essential to our growth.

What stops us from living in service to others? As Christians, we are called to serve people because it saves lives and it serves God. Serving others comes at an expense of sacrifice. In God's Kingdom, we add to our lives by serving which makes room for God's blessings for us and for others.

As believers, we all have power. We have "IT" because we are carrying on what Jesus began to do and teach. For many of us, we are not operating in this power because we don't understand power. In this message, we glean from the life of Peter and how to walk in power so we can live by faith and help others arrive at faith in Christ.

Who do you say Jesus is in your life? Who He is to you determines who you are, what you do, and where you go in life. In this message, we look into a time when the disciples didn't know who Jesus was. Jesus has been walking with us this whole time, it's time that we stop waiting and surrender our control to God.

A Beautiful Mind by Church At The Bridge

The closer we grow to knowing God and understanding the ways of His kingdom, the more we will come to realize that various aspects of our lives must die so that Christ might reign and live through our lives.

The seeds you have been sowing are about to produce a harvest. A harvest doesn't happen overnight, it takes place over time and you will grow what you sow. Wherever there is a harvest there is a scarecrow, that will show in the middle of your favor to try and scare your faith. When you focus on this year and what’s coming ahead, you will eat the fruit that you've been sowing.

The power that drives the Kingdom is love. This love should move the people of God to step out of their comfort and move in the direction that the Kingdom is moving. Unless we move in the direction of the Kingdom, we are not moving at all. In this message, we examine the life of Paul in the book of Acts. Knowing that God loved them, but seeing that they were more concerned with idols they build themselves moved him to share the Kingdom with them.

The kingdom of God is not meant to complement our current world's culture, it's meant to influence it through God's People. We cannot reflect the culture or bow to it, we must make efforts to influence it, stand up to it, and honor God in face of cultural norms. In this message, we learn from Daniel how cultural shifts take place and how as Daniel we can serve God and maintain a relationship with Him when things get culturally difficult. We also learn how to live according to God's Kingdom Culture by not blending, canceling culture, and speaking the truth rather than being silent.
