On August 14th, we’ll be hosting an event for parents and potential children team volunteers at The Bridge. My prayer is that everyone will grasp the importance of pouring into the next generation. Children ministries are packed with so much potential for good or bad. Future politicians, entrepreneurs, pastors, and teachers can be a children’s [...]

Balanced Diet

When I was growing up, it was often said that we needed to eat a balanced diet. Presently, as the chief chef at The Bridge, I try to create a balanced diet on Sundays. Within the scope of a year, I try to do at least one of each series: practical/life series, doctrinal series, and [...]

Summer is a great time for outdoor service activities. I’m excited about some of the outreach initiatives we have planned for this summer. Last week, a group of teenagers from Oklahoma helped us impact our community. They didn’t assist us with the outreach. They pretty much did the whole thing as their project. We handed [...]

I’m still on a bit of a high from yesterday’s baptism. It was such a blessing to see 17 people publicly declare before their friends and family that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. David James came out and led us in worship. It was an amazing time. Who knows. We may have [...]

God uses our toughest valleys to prepare us for our greatest moments. When Jesus was being crucified, the soldiers shouted, “If you are the King of Jews, save yourself!” Then one of the criminals hanging next to him said, “Are you not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” Jesus never responded. Why would Jesus give [...]

In the three and a half years The Bridge has been in existence, we’ve seen God do some amazing things. We’ve seen Him provide financially. We’ve had technical difficulties in our early days only for them to be solved two minutes was scheduled to begin. Since our Take Charge series, we’ve seen God do something [...]

Fuel Begins Tomorrow
Posted in Uncategorized on June 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Starting tomorrow evening, we’re beginning a two-month one hour summer bible study experience called Fuel. It will be an opportunity for us to dig into the Scriptures together as a body. It is easy to become distracted during the summer and drive on spiritual “E.” We hope that Fuel will allow us to fill up [...]
Thin Line
Posted in Uncategorized on June 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
There’s a thin line between sacrificing and compromising. It takes more discernment than we may realize to distinguish between the two. When we think we are sacrificing, we may actually be compromising. When we think we are compromising, we may just well be sacrificing. To give up one’s calling to pursue more money is compromise.
