The Bridge Austin

When your whole spiritual engine breaks down and you've messed up so bad that you're running away from God, you may think there's no hope. When your faith fails, are you ready for this? God remains faithful. Why? Because He can’t deny Himself. It is part of God's character. He is absolutely faithful.

Defining the faithfulness of God

• Definition = “Steadfast in affection or allegiance – loyal.
• Synonyms – Dependable, trustworthy, loyal, staunch, resolute, constant, reliable, true to one’s word, keeps one’s promises, true to and consistent to one’s character, someone “who comes through for you.”

Why is God able to be faithful 100% of the time?

1. He is all-knowing – He is never caught off guard. -Romans 11:33-36
2. He is all-powerful – He never encounters anything or anyone who can thwart His plans or purposes.
3. He is holy – He is pure, honest, full of integrity, unable to lie, and therefore, is always consistent with His character and His Word. -Isaiah 6:1-6
4. He is eternal – He is not affected by space or time; He knows the end from the beginning. -Psalm 90:2
5. He is omnipresent – Nothing can happen outside the sphere of His influence. -Psalm 139:7-11
6. He is immutable – He never changes; is never different then He is now, He is never in a bad mood, and never has a bad day. -Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8

How does God reveal His faithfulness to us?

• Through His CREATION
• Through His PEOPLE
• Through His CHARACTER
• Through His WORD
• Through His SHAPING of our lives

How can we respond to God’s faithfulness?

1. Put your PAST behind you today! -1 John 1:9
2. Bring your PRESENT problems, pains, and failures to Jesus today! -Matthew 11:28-30
3. Put your HOPE for the future in the One who will never let you down! -Jeremiah 17:5-8

Life is full of hardship. I have a friend who is going through a season of intense marital strife, and in the thick of it, the common questions he's had are, “God, do you care? Are you seeing what I’m going through?” These questions are difficult to wrestle with. In today’s message, Pastor Chris presents these moments of darkness in a new light. Just like that boat on the Galilean Sea, God has your situation in His hands. The question is not if He cares for you, but rather, are you looking at how He has cared for you?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that what we do for a living can project who we are. Israel’s enemy worshiped a wooden statue. Sounds ridiculous today, but we can have gods in our lives, like influence, money, even beauty, or perhaps fame. The danger is not in what we do, but how it could take the place of God in our lives.

The Bible tells us that God is faithful to His Word. That means that we can count on what He's written to us in scripture. Want proof? Join Chip as he discusses what it means for God to be faithful to His Word.

Can a decades-old drug unlock new possibilities for longevity? Rapamycin, originally discovered in the 1970s on Easter Island, was once used solely as an anti-rejection medication for organ transplants. Today, at much lower and less frequent doses, it is being studied and repurposed for its potential to extend health span, reduce inflammation, and support overall vitality.

In this episode, Bryana Gregory, pharmacist and physician liaison, breaks down the history of rapamycin, the design and findings of the 2024 Pearl Study, and why proper compounding matters for bioavailability and effectiveness. She also explains how this drug works on the mTOR pathway, helping improve cellular function, brain clarity, skin health, and even bone density and lean muscle mass in some patients.

If you’re curious about repurposed drugs, longevity, or ways to reduce inflammation naturally, this discussion sheds light on how rapamycin may become an important tool for the future of wellness.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that it’s natural for us to trust in what we see. We can get lost in carved images, or material worship instead of giving God the glory that is due His name.

Growing up, I took piano lessons, and I always hated practicing. I loved playing recitals – the performance was thrilling, and being cheered on felt wonderful. But if I had never practiced, those recitals would’ve been much less rewarding! Now, imagine constantly practicing, but never performing. Sure, you’d never fail, but you’d also never know if you could’ve succeeded. Today, Pastor Chris shares that Jesus doesn’t want you to simply rehearse; He encourages you to apply what He’s taught you on the stage of life!

People play all kinds of games when it comes to love. Our minds can get wrapped up in ego and selfishness that hinder love at its best. God demonstrates His love in ways that are so different from ours. Join Chip as he explores God's love and what could happen if we stop looking for love and start giving it away instead.

Introduction - Three facts about love

Fact #1: It’s a universal need - Everyone is looking for love!

Fact #2: There’s a universal solution - God loves all people everywhere and longs to meet the deepest needs of every heart for love!

Fact #3: There’s a tragic disconnection - Even so, most people remain starved for love… for three primary reasons:

1. They don’t know God loves them.
2. They know of God’s love, but have not received it.
3. They have received God’s love, but don’t know how to experience it in daily life.

Love is giving another person what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost.

God reveals His love to us through:

• CREATION - He made you for Himself.
• PROVIDENCE - He shows His kindness to all.
• INCARNATION - He is proactively pursuing you.
• DISCIPLINES - He chastises us to protect us from self-destructive behavior.
• INDWELLING - He supernaturally pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
• JESUS – The Second Person of the Trinity demonstrated the nature of God’s love for us.

How must we respond to God’s love?

1. We must RECEIVE IT by faith in our hearts. -John 3:16, 1:12
2. We must BELIEVE IT by faith in our minds. -1 John 4:13-16, Romans 8:38-39
3. We must SHARE IT by faith through our choices and decisions. -1 John 3:18
