Bridges Community Church

This sermon explores how pleasure can either draw us toward God or quietly displace him. Through Deuteronomy 8, Titus 1:15, and the practices of feasting and fasting, Paul Kim considers how gratitude, remembrance, and love for the Giver can shape the way we enjoy God's gifts.

In a culture that often treats pleasure as either something to chase or something to distrust, this message explores a different way. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, it considers how joy, delight, and gratitude can become means of grace that draw us toward God. What if enjoying God's good gifts could deepen, rather than distract from, our love for the Giver?

What does it mean to give thanks in every circumstance? Michael Gregory explores Paul's call to rejoice, pray, and practice gratitude, showing how thanksgiving can shape us into people of joy even amid pain and difficulty.

We spend our service listening to stories from our congregation about times they have felt not normal. Jason Chan, Larry Wiener, Richard Lew
