John the Baptist famously declared about Jesus that "He must increase and I must decrease." John realized that he was not the protagonist in the Great Story but was simply a "guy pointing to the Guy." In Christmas we are invited into a larger, more glorious Divine narrative than we could ever imagine. Join us this Sunday online as we see Dave Stout baptized, and learn that sometimes less is truly more.

Do you ever find yourself "knowing" what's best for you and those around you? John the Baptist did. He thought he knew best when it came to what Jesus should be doing down by the river. But then again he may have missed the paradigm shift that happened on that starry Christmas night when Jesus was born. Join us this week as we continue our series of "Christmas SuperFan"

John the Baptist was a passionate preacher with a bent towards Justice. If Christianity is just about a "ticket to heaven" for us, we are missing the big picture of faith. Christmas is about more than saving souls. Christmas is also about Justice for the whole of creation and the society we live in. Join us this week as we continue our series "Christmas SuperFan"

When life seems dark and filled with despair, if we listen carefully we find the world is actually pregnant with hope. John the Baptist was the ultimate Christmas SuperFan. In all he was and in all he did (including in the womb) John was simply "a guy pointing to a Guy." We find freedom and become heralds of hope when we lean into Christmas.

He isn't spooky, but He is mysterious. The Holy Ghost plays a key role in our awakening to God's presence in our lives. Not only is the Holy Ghost an invisible companion, but He is also the empowering Presence that leads us to play our part in God's mission for worldwide renewal. Are you ready to see some miracles?

We tell ourselves all sorts of lies in order to hide from reality. However, we can find freedom when we honestly name the truth of our situation. Confession is more than a line where we tell God all the junk we have done. No, the ancient practice of confession is a lifestyle. How does "walking in the light" lead to the fullness of the presence of God? Join us this week as we explore this liberating topic.

When we compartmentalize our lives we end up feeling divided and scattered. We miss out on lasting joy if we confine God's presence to a small piece of our lives. What if prayer is supposed to be more like a road trip than a phone call? Not limited to sacred time or sacred space, God's presence can change your whole life. Join Bridge this Sunday as we talk about "practicing the presence of God."

What was the sacrificial system at the Temple all about? Was the God of Israel an angry, blood-thirsty deity? When we look closer we see a God who will do whatever it takes to lovingly draw near to us. He is a God who covers over our nakedness and makes us new. Be set free this Sunday at Bridge Church as we talk about finding freedom from the power of shame.

It is on the first page. It is on the last page. It links everything in between. The whole story of the universe, humanity and the Divine is wrapped up in restoring the loving, manifest presence of God. Need some encouragement in your life? This Sunday at Bridge we are going to fall in love (again) with the beauty of God.

There is more to life than just what you can see. You have an Unseen Ally who knows you completely. Join us this week as we start a new series called "Awakening." It is all about seeing more of the liberating presence of God in your life!
