Bridge Dayton

Whether it’s school, sports, or religion, when we focus only on the rules, it can be difficult to remember the overall purpose of something. Jesus reminds us that when we focus so much on the letter of the law, we may forget why the law was written in the first place.

2. Connect with someone you haven’t in a while to see how they are doing.

3. Take, or send a friend a meal, JUST BECAUSE.

Jesus ignored certain religious protocols. For one, he was uncomfortably comfortable with unrepentant sinners. In this episode, we hear about an encounter that showed how Jesus came to reverse the order of things.

Listening doesn’t come naturally.  We have to work at it.  And some of us are better than others.  But listening, not just hearing, shows that we are FOR people and can really make a difference.  

If we can do this... we'll have the BEST Relationships.

If we’re honest, we’re all pretty selfish at our core. We want what’s best for us, or for our people, and don’t think much about the effects on others. This isn’t new, it’s been around since… well, people. 

Jesus knew this was the case, so he talked about it a lot. His brother James continued talking about it and eventually the apostle Paul gave us some simple advice to understand, but hard advice to follow. 

If we can do this... we'll have the BEST Relationships.

The best advice you ever got about kindness came from your mom when you were little.  She probably didn't know it, but it originally came from the apostle Paul.  If we can do this... we'll have the BEST Relationships.

God knows what you need. He sent Jesus into the world for you, to meet your greatest need. The Christmas story is personal. Here's how to make it your story.

There's a light that can cut through your doubt, anger, sin, shame, and disappointment with God. 

Here's what you need to do to find it.

For many, the Christmas season is complicated. It's a reminder of broken relationships, unmet expectations, and missed loved ones. 

But no matter your circumstances, Christmas can also be a reminder of the light that overcomes the darkness.

We're all busy. Our schedules are packed with career, family, friends, church, and other responsibilities. Sometimes our days are so full that we don't enjoy anything because we're trying to do everything.   

This can drain our tanks and leave us thankless, because we never stop to see the good.   

So, where do we start?
