Bridge Builders Community Church

Walking with Jesus… His way, His truth… requires a level of confidence in Him that conflicts with most of our experience of living in the wild. Have you ever wondered what it would be like, feel like, look like… to be fearless in every area of your life?

In the context of our daily lives filled with our own stuff (Sad Tragic Fears and Failures) How do we put on Christ… assume the identity when life is interrupted by the cares and routines of life, when we must earn a living, take care of business and our margins are spread too thin?

It’s funny… strange, possibly hard to believe… but nowhere in the Bible does it ask for me to add my opinion or my definitions to what God says is true.

There is a very old Africa saying in the form of a question… a question with a deep intimate implication… the saying is… “Will you walk with me?” Will you walk with me? Not around the block, not across the street… will you enter my life, my world and journey with me? This is the call to follow Jesus, to enter the world of the Messiah and journey with Him, not at a distance but up close and personal.

We are chosen to be followers. The Greek word for follow means to… to join as a disciple yes, but it means to be in the same way with… implying intimacy, going the same way, living the same way as the Master!

This sermon series is a deep dive into the life of a follower of Jesus (and yes, I realize that many of you are seasoned followers). However, this is a discovery of how to BE the disciple Jesus is calling us to be… not just learning how to DO disciple work. Our calling is so intimate, so personal and for a follower of Jesus, never ending.

In our own limited human understanding, we often find ourselves trying to put God in a box, but the Word of God tells us that He is un-boxable and we serve a God who is unlimited in power, love, knowledge, forgiveness, compassion, grace, and holiness.

Learning obedience through waiting

Pentecost is a huge celebration! Because Pentecost was and is a major shift across the landscape of Christianity.

Can we be warriors in the wilderness? Listen as guest speaker We Clemmer explains how victory looks in the wilderness.

Purpose can be defined as: Direction, focus, motivation, or design. Purpose answers the question “Why am I here?” (On this planet, in your family, in this community, in this church). You’re alive now because there is a purpose for you…and purpose in now!

Imagine…tonight after the sun goes down and you are so ready to kick back and relax. Its supper time and you are so ready to eat but you hear a knock at the door. You go to answer the door and surprise, the whole village of Hyde Park (around 1,200) is at your doorstep!

Will we trust the answer to Him, the provision to Him… could it be that loving to obey Jesus, is better than what we might “get” when we do? Will we accept His definition of results? His timing of results or how we get them? It’s not carelessly RE-CASTING our nets… it means that we don’t worry when or where it lands… because we trust in God.

Are we in a new place considering the Body of Christ? Are we in a new age of Reformation?

How do we respond as God's church to all the events challenging us in 2020? How do we represent the Kingdom to the world?

So you may be asking… Is it possible to find life in a dead zone? Is the promise of life more abundantly still true in a barren, desolate place of uncertainty? When my faith feels cold, distant and maybe… unreliable? The short answer is yes… Jesus’ promise of life more abundantly, even in the badlands.

When you have something negative going on in your body, a food allergy, perhaps some kind of nutritional deficit… What can you do to change what’s going on in your body? You can change your diet.

How do I get hungry and stay hungry? The most powerful way (I believe) is to be and stay humble
