The disciples were exhausted before the storm even began. Yet Mark 6 tells us that Jesus was the one who sent them across the lake. Pastor Dave teaches how God can use difficult seasons to bring us beyond our own strength and reveal more of who He is. Jesus sees the struggle. He intercedes for His people and meets them in the storm. What begins with fear can ultimately become a deeper knowledge of Christ and a reason to worship.

Galatians 4 begins with Paul’s contrast between a slave and a son. Through Christ believers have been adopted into God’s family and can cry out to Him as Father. Paul then warns the Galatians not to return to what they were freed from or let human effort take the place of God’s promise. The chapter also challenges us to offer grace while Christ is still forming people. Our preferences are not the standard for another person’s salvation. We are saved by what Jesus has done and changed as we continue following Him. Recorded at The Bridge Church in Idaho Falls, Idaho. For more information visit bridgechurchidaho.com.

God called him to lay it down before taking it back up for a new purpose. This message looks at surrender, identity and the call to move beyond what we can accomplish in our own strength. What defines us must come under the authority of Jesus as we learn to trust Him and go where He leads. Recorded at The Bridge Church in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
