Bridge Church

After miraculously being delivered from Egypt and then encountering God at Mt. Sinai, everything has changed yet again for the people of Israel. The God whose Glory rested on the mountain is now dwelling among them in the camp. In our world today, where many seem to wander in the desert without direction - God is still present and faithful for all who call on His Name. Join Bridge Church as we start the last part of the book of Exodus by reflecting on the miraculous gift of God's Presence.

We all need assurance. In a world of doubt, brokenness and distraction - we need to come back to our core commitments that really matter. In the "inbetweenness" of Israel's journey from Egypt to the Promised land, God provided assurance through sprinkling and a meal that we still feel the effects of today. Join Bridge Church as we gather around God's Word and His Table this Sunday.

Contentment is hard to find in our consumer society. "Keeping up with the Joneses" has created a consumption culture that promises satisfaction but delivers only more hunger. What does Scripture have to say is the cure to this disease? The answer might be closer than we think.

If you've ever felt ripped off or slandered, you understand the pain lies bring about. Finally out of Egypt, God's desire for the people of Israel was to build a society that was truly fair and just. In a world of half-truths, bribes and out-right lies, the 9th commandment offers the blueprint to freedom. 

In a world where we are encouraged to always watch out for ourselves, to take what we need. God calls His people to live differently. Join us this week at Bridge Church as explore how honesty, trust, and respect for others and for their belongings are foundational to a flourishing community. We'll see how as God's covenant people our hearts transform from takers into generous givers.

Rejected by the ones He served, Jesus died the death of a criminal. When the world thought He was down and out, He won the ultimate victory of the ages. Easter is The Story - so good that it is true. Written in our hearts, in the creation, and the history books - Jesus Christ is Hope for every human being. In our world of chaos, uncertainty and despair, the King of Glory comes to establish a new people and new world.

People's hearts and character are most predominantly displayed through their actions, and Jesus's heart is no different. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we examine the triumphant entry on Palm Sunday, how it helps us sense who Jesus is, and how that inspires us to this day.  

Like the healing of the man at Bethsaida's sight, our journey of faith and understanding God is a process. While our eyes can play tricks on us, more and more God's glory is revealed to us over our lives. When we fix our gaze on Jesus we find hope and illumination no matter what we face.

Jesus, God in flesh, broke the taboos of his day by reaching out and touching the untouchable outcasts of society. He invites us to reach out to him regardless of the mess our lives may be in, and he wants to touch our hearts with his love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we learn how Jesus' touch can make us clean and give us new purpose.

In an act of sacrifice and love, Jesus had expensive perfume poured on his feet. This smell lingered and foreshadowed His ultimate death on the cross. As children of His resurrection, what does it mean to embrace His life and become a sweet fragrance to the world?

In a world of many competing voices and noise, the voice of God has the power to create and bring life. How do we tune out the screeching of the world and tune into the voice of the Good Shepherd?

The apostle John said “we declare to you… what we heard, what we have seen… what we have looked at and touched… concerning the word of life” (1 John 1:1). God embodied physical reality as a flesh and blood human being in the Lord Jesus Christ. As we journey towards Easter this Lenten season, join Bridge Church as we reflect upon stories of “Sensing Jesus” through taste, hearing, smell, touch and sight. 

Our world today puts an incredible emphasis on sex, and as such, there is a lot of noise, confusion, and teachings with regard to sex today. Surprisingly, this was also the reality for the Israelites in the wilderness. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we see how God's intent for sex enables us to love our world in a transformational way. 

While most of us will never commit murder, we soft-kill people with our words and deeds daily. How are we liberated when we learn restraint, forgiveness and even love for difficult people? 

Deep down we all realize the pace our culture keeps is unhealthy and unsustainable. How can we resist the steady onslaught of work and learn to embrace sacred rest once again?

While the first commandment was about WHO to worship, the second commandment speaks to the HOW of worship. Through our life experience, cultural surroundings, and personal brokenness we can project onto God all sorts of different images. On top of that, we can put "God in a box" to make faith feel more palatable. How we envision God makes all the difference in our lives. Join Bridge Church this week as we examine the second commandment and the liberating reality of allowing God to be God in our worship.

The Israelites have finally made it to Mount Sinai, and the glory of God, who saves them unconditionally, is displayed. But what does it mean to be God's chosen people? What does being the covenant people of the Creator look like? Join us this week at Bridge Church as we learn how gratitude, honour, and respect intersect with the new reality the Israelites and us today step into.

Each one of us offers degrees of leadership in our different spheres of life. Within those we make decisions that affect ourselves and others. In stark contrast with many of the practices of leadership in the world today, Christian leadership involves community, humility and many potent opportunities of grace. Join Bridge this week as we reflect on the God-given leadership instincts of Moses during a time of change & opportunity for the nation of Israel.  

Despite their recent deliverance, it didn't take long for Israel to complain and cry out in the desert. Called to trust Him for mercies new each morning, the covenant-keeping God provides for His people.

The time between Christmas and New Years is unusual. It can feel like a season of unending turkey sandwiches where time stands still. Join Bridge Church for our annual online special where we will witness special talents from people in the church, sing songs of praise to God, and hear a message to prepare our hearts for a New Year. As God leads us forward as a church, as families and as individuals it is imperative to "not look back!"

In "We Three Kings" we hear about magi coming to visit Jesus and present him with gifts. What seems like a very random story leads us to learn about God's perfect plans and the prophecies that foretold them. In the seeming randomness of modern life, what is God planning for you?

From a human perspective it might have made more sense for Jesus to be born in Rome or Jerusalem, yet for some reason God chose Bethlehem. This week we will explore the town of Jesus' birth, leaning on the prophet Micah and a classic post-civil war hymn. Our God is the One who takes small places (like Fort Sask perhaps?!) and raises them up for His glory. 

In Nazareth, Jesus made the radical claim that He was the Anointed One who had come to bring freedom to the captive. This Good News was met only with scoffs and anger. Centuries later in a small French village, an unlikely duo of troubled men wrote "O Holy Night" - a song that proclaims freedom is made possible through the Miracle of Christmas. What does this Good News mean for our hearts seeking Justice? How can we join the Chain-Breaker in His Righteous mission of Mercy?

At this time of year Christmas is everywhere - yet as you get older it becomes easier to miss completely. What if the sights/sounds/rhythms of this season could become signposts that usher our hearts into God's presence? Join Bridge this week as we dig into God's Word, reflect upon a lesser known Christmas hymn, and take Lord's Supper as a family.

After crossing the Red Sea and into their newfound freedom, the Israelites naturally burst out into song. Praising and worshipping is a natural part of being a human being. Yet more than simply a personal act, worship is a communal & missional declaration that paves the way for God's power in the world to be revealed. 

The great exodus out of Egypt has started, and now, in their journey, the Israelites are trapped at the edge of the Red Sea with their old masters and life in hot pursuit. The Israelites need deliverance like never before. Join us this week at Bridge Church to see how this famous Bible story echoes the hope of deliverance for us today, thousands of years later. 

Before the physical liberation of Israel out of Egypt, God instituted a meal of spiritual victory for His people. This Passover meal has echoed through the ages and has become a taste of our ultimate liberation through Jesus Christ. Join us this week as we discuss life, death, blood and unleavened bread. 

Through the mighty plagues of Egypt we witness the power of God as He dismantled the gods and power structures of an empire. This week at Bridge, discover how this ancient event foreshadowed Jesus' victory over all the forces of darkness. His triumph over sin and death challenges the idols of our age and offers hope for a new way of living.

While heading back to Egypt, Moses has a terrifying and truly bizarre encounter with God. While this story is one of the most unusual in the whole Bible, it is packed with Gospel truth that if yielded can preserve and uphold us in our journeys of faith. 

3x10 & Moving Sunday!Three people. Three Stories. One God moving in them all!This Sunday at Bridge is 3x10 Sunday! Join us as we hear stories of God's faithfulness from Don, Abbie and Ryan T. 

This Sunday at Bridge Church your weekly dose of Gospel-Hope will come from Brent Kellington (one of Bridge's Elders) who will bring a message on the Sovereignty of God.

In our world it is sadly easy to see that we are surrounded by injustice. We celebrate and long for justice to be done and seen in our world. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we see how God is just and the hope that knowledge brings.

In our broken world, we live within a garden of change. With dramatic shifts in weather from season to season, from green grass to dead grass, from health to sickness, from hope to despair; we find ourselves incredibly impacted by our ever changing world. Within all of our relationships, we experience change on a new level. we can all name a time when someone we thought we knew became someone totally different overnight. Yet, amid this world of change the God who reveals Himself to us is unchanging

God is Love. God showed His love and out of His love for us we are able to love others. John is talking to a church that is struggling with finding the truth and divided by false teachings. John brings people back to how God showed His love for us. 

We face danger when we project our own personalities and thinking onto God. In order to know His character and attributes we must turn to the Holy Scriptures. When facing a time of fear and uncertainty, the prophet Isaiah received a vision of the Glorious King of Heaven. This terrifying, fiery vision changed his life and still points to Gospel-Hope for us today.

In our lives, we will face struggles and trials, but we aren't left to face them empty-handed. Join us this week in our second-to-last message in our Ephesians series as we learn about the power of the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

It has become increasingly difficult to find leaders that inspire and encourage us. This leadership vacuum creates a culture of chaos, uncertainty, and division. Join us this week as we learn how the Helmet of Salvation and Breastplate of Righteousness orientate us to the greatest leader to look to in all of history.

A Biblical definition of Revival includes the Presence of God permeating more than just church services. God's heart is to see Spirit-led societal transformation. Join Bridge Church for our annual "All in Sunday" where we will look at Joel chapter 2 and ask the question "what seeds can we sow to see revival sprout up in our city?"  

In a world where truth is relative and morality is determined by the most powerful people of the day, Christianity boldly declares that there is objective, capital "T" Truth in the universe. The Apostle Paul encouraged the church in Ephesus to "put on" the belt of Truth. The Truth of Jesus holds all our armour together as we make a stand for light and life in our world. 

When things go wrong in our lives our natural reaction is to look for natural solutions. But what happens when the issues we are facing are spiritual in nature? Behind all we can see is the spiritual realm where an ancient battle rages on for the hearts and souls of humanity. Join Bridge Church this week as we begin a new series entitled "Spiritual Warrior."

As we close our second series in Ephesians we have seen how living a life worthy of the calling given to us envelops our entire lives. One area that we often can overlook in reflecting on this calling is the jobs that we work. Join us this week at Bridge Church as we discover the ways we can be witnesses with our work. 

In a growing Christian, there is not an area of life or relationship where the Gospel's power is not at work. In his letter to the Ephesian Christians, the Apostle Paul offers helpful instructions for Moms, Dads, Sons & Daughters. Join Bridge Church this week as we unpack an inspiring and practical vision for honoring parents and parenting children. 

Roman society promoted a social infrastructure that was rife with abusive systems of power. The result was broken marriages and families. In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul spoke of a different kind of marriage. Calling both husband and wife towards sacrificial love - a Christian vision of marriage is both counter-cultural and deeply refreshing.

Life is often marked by moments that we know change everything. These moments can be found at the mountaintop or in the valley, but both experiences leave us feeling lost, confused, and asking, "Now what?" Join us this week at Bridge Church as we finish our journey with Elijah and learn how God prepares for the next steps in our lives.
