Church At The Bridge Sermon Podcasts

God's wisdom should be the most desirable thing in our lives because it is the one thing that provides a sure return. God's wisdom does not need any additives, no preservatives, or pesticides; it's perfect just the way that it is. We just need to invest our time and thoughts on harvesting it for ourselves and to share with those around us.

Christ has redeemed us because the price has been paid for. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light; He's the one that helps us get there, but we must be willing to go there. In this message, we look at the story of The Road To Emmaus (Luke 24:19-34) to learn how God has been walking alongside us this whole time.

Believe it or not, there is a direct path in life that simplifies things. This path can lead us directly to God's intended purposes and the best results for our lives. God wants us to make our paths straight, to show us a better way but to see it we must step out of our own understanding. When we do, our path is straightened and life becomes less complicated.

One of the greatest challenges to following the wisdom of God is our natural ability to hear his voice. Why do we turn away from God's wisdom? One of the most common reasons is that we believe that hearing about God is the same as hearing from God. In this message, we learn how to search for wisdom and how to respond to wisdom's call.

There's a difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom. Man's wisdom is dumb - slow to understand, lacking good judgment, lacking acuteness of vision and perception. God's wisdom provides us with knowledge, understanding, and application. In this message, we'll learn how to rely on God's wisdom for our continual growth in life.

We were honored to have Pastor Tommy Kyllonen join us and share a message about his book entitled "Frames." In this message, we learned how our frames can change the game by flipping from a pessimistic view to an optimistic view, from being greedy to being generous, and from temporary to eternal. Our frames give us a new prescription to see clearly the vision God has for our lives.

Tomorrow doesn't start tomorrow; it starts with what we do today. Either way, we are paying for tomorrow because we're spending in our lives today. The best way to win the day is by living in such a way that it creates purpose for tomorrow which goes beyond our lifetime. In this message, we learn how to live to leave a legacy.

We are planted in God's righteousness and freedom. When we remain planted and follow God's instruction we will always exceed where we currently are. In this message, we learn the keys to staying planted for growth based on 1 Corinthians 15:58

God’s word provides us tools for every facet of life, as we apply the truth by following what it teaches us, we become prepared and ready for what God has ahead. In this message, we learn the important role that preparation plays so that we can readily step into God’s plans as the opportunity presents itself.

God does not impose pain or conjure up hurtful experiences to help us grow. This does not negate the fact that we undergo painful circumstances in life. In this message, we learn how to respond in the face of these circumstances and turn pain into gain.

Every day is a gift from God and what we do with it matters. Our thought life is like a box that can trap us unless we learn how to break free from it. Without renovation in the mind we cannot expect transformation for our lives. In this message, we learn how to break the box in our mind so we can win the day.

Life with God is a guarantee that we have hope for tomorrow, provides us purpose beyond today and provides us an escape out of the temporal and into the eternal. But the truth is it takes power beyond our means in the present to win at life. The promise tomorrow always holds pressure today. In this message, we learn how we can effectively press on today so that we can win the day and see what God has provided into our tomorrows.

The last supper was more than a final meal, it was a declaration and depiction of what our Lord was establishing for his church. That we would become one body and one people and that our focus would become singular in our worship of the one and true living God.

When challenged do you expect the best or see the worse? We have the right and a reason to life life as an overcomer. In this message we learn what we must do when we struggle to overcome and drift away from our identity. By looking at the example of Jesus and the disciples we learn three key points that will help us make it though the storm and to win the day.

If we are going to Win The Day, we must consider what we are filling our day with. For most life consists of wanting more; more time, more things, more people, more money, more, more more... The only thing we need more of is Jesus and less of everything else. In this message, we learn from the story of Elisha and a widow how to stop seeking temporary fixes and to seek eternal fixes when we give God less of what we want.

Change is oftentimes challenging. We like what we grow accustomed to, we like to be in the know or prefer only what we know. Yet change is necessary if we're going to get anywhere with our faith and in life. To win at life we must be willing to challenge our perception of change sot hat we can be all that God created us to be and thrive in all that He created us to do. In this message, we learn from the life of Jabez and how we overcome the challenge of change.

With the start of the new year, there are many people who choose to aim for goals and a new mindset to inspire growth and opportunities in the new season of their lives. A lot of these goals and resolutions often come with a promise to ourselves that sounds good, but do we have the plan to execute these new goals? In this message, we learn how to evaluate the steps that need to take place to achieve our goals and what we need to keep doing, start doing, and stop doing in order to achieve that goal.

What we do today matters because it determines the fulfillment of God’s purposes and the influence or lack of influence that can exert in our lives. In this message, we learn from the moment Moses realized the opportunity for a miracle was in his hands. We also learn how to start using the faith we have at hand and how to grow strong with the ability to withstand all that life throws at us.

At the birth of Christ, there were so many that saw the star that shone brightly and announced his entrance as Savior but not everyone saw the same thing. In this message, we learn how to let our light shine in the world so that others can see the light that Christ is in our lives.

While the Grinch attempted to steal Christmas by taking the presents, food, and Christmas trees from the Whos in Whoville he was in shock when he heard them singing on Christmas morning. Like the Grinch, many people did not know that they had a part in God's Joy with Jesus' birth. In this message, we learn how to lead our lives with joy and how to choose joy in the midst of trying situations.
