The Bridge Austin

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that our God is generous beyond our imagination. He wants us with Him in Heaven. But, if we think we have eternal life through self-righteousness, like the religious leaders of Jesus’ day, we are mistaken. We must come to Him leaving our excuses behind.

The post Parable Of The Great Supper – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

To many Christians, persecution is something that happens in a far-off place, like Asia or the Middle East. But in reality, persecution is already taking place in America. Dr. Robert Jeffress shares why our country’s hostility toward Christians will only continue to rise.

There is undeniable power in stories of God dramatically changing or intervening in someone’s life. In this special program, you will hear a handful of heartfelt testimonies from our most faithful listeners. Their uplifting experiences will inspire your faith, encourage your heart, and make you want to live for Jesus like never before.

Main Points

The Power of Transformed Lives: Testimonies are shared to inspire and demonstrate God's power, as seen in Revelation 12:11. These stories highlight:

• Radical Life Change: Individuals like Mike and Will found Christ and transformed their lives after encountering Living on the Edge, moving from darkness to light and self-seeking to God-centered lives.
• Freedom and Understanding: Billie learned to live from God's approval, not for it, finding deep joy. Kathy gained clarity on her personality and purpose through ministry resources.
• Guidance and Practical Tools: Listeners like Chad and Amy found daily wisdom, and practical application of faith through specific series and books. Amy even used these tools in her psychology work with trauma survivors.
• Global Reach and Community: Testimonies from Romania (Naomi) and Denmark (Bianca) show worldwide impact. Natalie highlights the personal connection and prayer support from ministry staff.
• Passing it On: Many, like Dustin and Jessie, not only experienced personal change but also began sharing what they learned with others. Janet started a Bible study, and Melissa's sons are navigating faith challenges with the ministry's guidance.

Our Mission: Disciple God's people with teaching and tools, equip pastors and leaders, and reach the next generation.
