The Bridge Austin

When something’s wrong physically, you see a doctor. But when the pain runs deeper, you need a different kind of help. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how the Bible reveals the root of our struggles—and leads us toward true healing.

In this teaching, Rabbi Schneider reveals how the first of the laws in the Torah show that God is personal and knows His people by name. This message challenges us to move beyond vague belief and truly submit to the one true God who is right here in the center of our existence.

When you turn on the news or hop onto your favorite social media app, it’s hard to avoid seeing opinions on the latest social justice topic. Topics of abortion, race, gender ideology, and more fill our news feeds. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that this trend isn’t anything new. These tough topics have simple answers that the Prophet Amos spoke to the people of Israel. The message is this: God wants you to run from idols, ignore what society teaches, and return to what He teaches.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we cannot come to God with conditions. “I will follow you if you do this or that.” Apart from God, we set ourselves up as a god. It never works. When we come to Him with a humble and pure heart, He will never turn us away.
