The Bridge Austin

Have you ever heard someone say, “I don’t like to talk about politics”? There’s a good reason for that: people often have strong and differing opinions on the subject. Everyone believes that their viewpoint can lead to a better world through legislation. But the real issue goes beyond politics; it stems from a problem of sin. Changing laws will not eliminate sin if a person's heart does not change. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that there is only one person who can transform your heart, and His name is Jesus.
