Trust

March 6th, 2013

Trust

I have had to ask myself how much I am willing to trust God this week. One factor in this questioning was the fact that I was given the text of John 18:1-11 to preach from last Sunday (read the sermon notes here; listen to the sermon here). This passage is about the arrest of Jesus by a mob of soldiers, priests, servants, and Pharisees. The main message that came out of the text was th ...

Important Words from the Chairman of the Elders

January 28th, 2013
You have, in your packet, a copy of the revisions that we are proposing for this meeting. This revision presents a restoration of Jerry's salary to 2012 levels.

We’ve decided to make this revision because of feedback we received at December’s AGM. While many of us were marginally 'ok' with the budget, none of us were overjoyed to see Jerry voluntarily cut his salary because he felt this was ...

Prayer Team

January 15th, 2013

The Sovereign Lord declares—he who gathers the exiles of Israel: “I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.” Isaiah 56:8

 

Though Charles Spurgeon was known as a great preacher, it was not preaching that made Spurgeon great. Mr. Spurgeon repeatedly acknowledged his success as the direct result of his congregation's faithful prayers. It has often been remarked that the ...

The Bridge, a Church that Connects

October 21st, 2012


Thesis: Those counted as Jesus’ sheep are chosen, protected, transformed so that

they might believe,

do what Jesus loves, and

that they might have eternal life.


Last week, Jerry, our pastor, talked about Jesus being the Good Shepherd, the gate for His sheep, sent to lead us, protect us, and provi ...

A Compassionate Challenger

June 10th, 2012

People are at the heart of God and He is good.  Much of what Jesus may see happening in our culture today may frustrate and anger him, but he will always respond to an individual whose heart is ready to respond to him.    Jesus knows that cultures are not changed by mass strokes but by changes in individuals hearts..

  1.       While Jesus challenges a culture he is compassionate on an indivi ...

Church Membership

March 13th, 2012

If you regularly attend The Bridge, then I would like to have a couple of minutes to share something very important with you.  I want to talk to you about church membership.

Relationships are one of the fundamental features of our Christian life.  It starts with our relationship with God through Jesus, but then it also begins to encompass all the other relationships that we have, particularly ...

A Full Measure of Joy

July 24th, 2011

In our world, transfers happen all the time and are important.   We transfer money from one account to another, we transfer jobs, schools.  We take what was in one place and put it in another.

There is a transfer of skill from one person to the next, we call it training and the result of that transfer is Ability.  Whether you are training a person to be a barista or a surgeon, there are certa ...

Decision-Making by Faith

February 20th, 2011
The Decisions we make often determine the direction our lives will take and say much about the place our faith has in our lives.  How a person makes a decision reveals who they really are. 

Abram had just had a bad experience in Egypt – He compromised his wife and was humiliated by the most powerful man in the world – Pharaoh. 

…Like a man who had just been fired from a job and escorted by se ...
