The Bridge RSM

Everything that Jesus did throughout His life was meant to serve as our guide; as ingredients for how to live a Jesus-centered life. As we study the Bible, we store up these ingredients in the pantry of our hearts, so that at the proper time the Holy Spirit can help us to pull out the right ingredient at the right time to fight against the enemy. What's in your pantry?

How do you respond to the Word of God? Pastor Mike returns to challenge us on actively responding to the proclaimed Word of God with delight and thanksgiving as we entrust our lives to our Savior and King, Jesus of Nazareth.

Have you ever felt alone in the darkness of this world? Have you ever tried to pursue God's perfect design in your own way? You don't have to. The instructions for God's perfect design can be found in His word. You don't have to do it your way, because there's already a perfect design available to you. The Bible contains the mind of God, and it is ready for you whenever you're ready to listen. Today, Pastor Tim Russell walks us through Psalm 119, teaching us that there's a difference between serving God and knowing Him as a friend. God has already invested in your victory. Are you ready to know Him?

What are your New Year's Resolutions? Better yet, what are your "ins" and "outs" for 2025? Pastor Taylor kicks off a year where The Bridge Church wants to collectively invest in our delight in and meditation on The Bible with a look at Psalm 1 and how we contemplate Scripture in community.

Do you believe that God speaks? He does! The God who made the universe has spoken, is speaking, and will speak and better yet, the Word of God will never Fail! Pastor Sean closes out 2024 by taking a survey of the Israelite patriarchs in the book of Genesis and seeing how they responded to the promises of God in their lives. He leaves us with an invitation to be the sorts of people who seek the Words of God for others and share the blessing freely.

Have you ever met someone that seemed to be happy when it didn't make any sense? Or even though they were sad, there was a calm control about them? The Bible talks about a joy that goes beyond our circumstances. This joy is rooted in none other than the Godhead. It is a joy found in the person of Jesus, in His life, death, and resurrection, and built up in us through our time in the presence of His Holy Spirit. So if you want to be the sort of person that seems to be in good spirits no matter what, it starts with time spent with THE Spirit of God. Be encouraged, step into praise, prayer, and meditation on Scripture and grow in Joy and you enjoy God's Christmas Presence.

Hope can be a funny thing. Have you ever hoped for something that didn't come? Maybe it was an unrealistic hope. Maybe it was a promise made by a human that didn't follow through. Few things are more crushing. But hope in the Bible isn't in people or things. Biblical hope is in a person, but that person is also God, and His name is Jesus. That hope is trustworthy and infallible. One day He will make all things new and take away suffering in His Kingdom restored to earth. He began that work some 2000 years ago and that is why we celebrate the gift of His Hope that comes with His Christmas Presence.

The world wants us to believe that chaos is normal. That there is no hope, and that we need to seek out peace desperately from the brokenness of things. But our God promises a peace that is not temporary. God’s perfect peace is a whole peace. One that cannot be shattered or broken. A peace that cannot be disturbed or interrupted. God provides for us a peace that will guard us against the chaos of the world. What do you need God’s peace for today?

Do you feel overwhelmed by the pace of life? Are you stressed, frantic, rushed, or hurried and harried? That's the normal way of life in the USA. But an ancient Jewish rabbi offered a different way of life. What's more, He offered to be with us to help us live His way of life forever. That rabbi's name is Jesus of Nazareth and His yoke is easy and His burden is light! Pastor Matt Kladnik begins our Advent series looking at a group of gifts that we receive in the presence of Jesus. At Christmas, God came to be present with us in the person of Jesus. As we take time to be intentionally present to God in this season, we receive the presents of His Christmas Presence. We begin with a look at the Rest that Jesus provides.

Have you ever felt blindsided by tragedy or difficulty in life? Sometimes the storms of life come at us Without Warning. They reveal things about what we believe and who we trust. The Gospel of Matthew contains a story of Jesus calming a storm. In it, the disciples respond one way, but Jesus reminds them that He was the power to lead us through the choppy waters of life.
