The Bridge Austin

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that real love, the kind of love that God has for us, is not a feeling, it’s a choice. It's an eternal love, regardless of emotions, fading physical beauty, or sickness. It’s not based on happiness, but to make us holy through service, and adoration.

The post Parable Of The Prodigal – 1B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

On July 4th, we celebrate our independence in America as one nation under God. But at the same time, we’re mindful of the precarious risk facing our country. Dr. Robert Jeffress urges us to push back against popular culture and become salt and light for the Gospel.

Sometimes we may think that our effort, by itself, does count for much. Maybe we’re the only believer in our family . . . or the only Christian at work . . . or the only one in our group of friends at school. The odds are against us. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to one of the most encouraging stories in the Old Testament. We’ll catch up with a military leader about to fight a battle, when God told him to send most of his army home so that God alone would get credit for the victory.

C.S. Lewis once wrote, “If I find in myself desires, which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is I was made for another world.” Ryan Ingram explains why everyone has a longing and restlessness for something more. Join him in Genesis chapter 2 as he describes the perfect environment God created for Adam and Eve and why, since sin entered the world, our hearts ache to be reunited with our Creator.

Main Points

What do I do about the ache within me? What if my longing isn’t a problem to fix but a sign pointing me home?

Are the viral claims about dangerous ingredients in ivermectin true? Let’s set the record straight.

Pharmacist Bryana Gregory from Physician’s Preference Pharmacy addresses recent concerns circulating online about Ivermectin formulations, including fear-based misinformation around additives like Polysorbate 80 and Titanium Dioxide. Bryana breaks down the differences between animal-grade Ivermectin products and the carefully compounded human oral capsules provided by the pharmacy. She explains how compounding pharmacists source pure ingredients, verify potency, and ensure products are free from allergens and unwanted excipients.

God’s character never changes. The commandments He gave to Moses define His nature, and His expectations of our behavior. In this message, Pastor Lutzer demonstrates how God’s law reveals our need for His grace. The Law reveals our true condition, and only God's grace can bridge the gap.
