The Bridge RSM

There is one debt that can never be paid. That is our debt of love to our neighbor. Not only does Paul challenge us to love, but Jesus challenges our notion of who our neighbor is and blows our categories out to include even the most socially despised person we can think of. Jesus take the word neighbor and includes those with different religious observances, political views, and ethics. When it comes to loving your neighbor, do you include those same people?

The Way of Jesus comes with a difficult call. The call to submit to authority. Pastor Mike Foell takes us through what it means to be a Christian citizen and how we relate to authority, both government and otherwise as we continue our series in Romans on The Church God Uses.

One of the hardest things to do in the Way of Jesus is to love your enemies. And yet, it is central to the call to follow Jesus. Pastor Ryan looks at Paul's commands to do so as he continues through Romans 12 in our series on The Church God Uses.

What is it to be genuine? How are we meant to engage each other as fellow believers in authenticity, without ulterior motives? Pastor Ryan continues our series on The Church God Uses in today's message on Authentic Spirituality.

We are made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Furthermore, God built the Church in part to be salt and light into the world and to use the gifts he's given us to make things better. What does it look like for you to learn the ways that God has made and gifted you and then to turnaround and offer those things back to Him as a living sacrifice?

There is a tremendous amount of noise in the world circling around us. It will overwhelm and influence us beyond the Way of Jesus if we let it. The key for the effective church is to keep our focus on our north star. We must block out the noise and follow the voice of our Shepherd, maintaining clear thought and being transformed daily into the likeness of Christ.

Pastor Ryan begins a new series about "The Church God Uses". What does it look like for us to be the type of people and assembly that can move powerfully for the Kingdom of God? It starts with Surrender. It starts by bringing everything we have and are to the feet of Jesus, laying those things down, and proclaiming "here I am. Send me." Over the next few weeks we'll look at the 'practicals' of the Christian life laid out in Romans 12-14 as we seek to become The Church God Uses.

Pastor Mike continues our series on the Living Word of God. How is the Bible relevant to our lives today? Isn't it just a 2000-year-old book after all? Pastor Mike provides a litany of reasons that we should take the Bible seriously now and apply it to our modern lives.

Taylor Schwab continues our series on being Aligned to Scripture with a look at whether or not it is in fact, accurate. How do we know that what we have in our Bibles is what was written? How do we know what was written is true? Taylor leads us through how to answer those questions and what to do with the answers in this weeks teaching on the doctrine of Scripture.
