Ridge Church Audio Podcast

Welcome back to the fourth week of Summer Together. Pastor Scott is back with us today, sharing a message centered around a well-known verse, Jeremiah 29:11. Sometimes, our plans don't align with what God has in store for us. However, we can rest assured that God will always ensure that our plans lead us to a life that brings glory to Him, not just to ourselves. 

Welcome back to the third week of “Summer Together.” Today, we welcome another special guest who brings a message of hope and perseverance. One of our overseers at Ridge, Pastor Rhett Barden, discusses the crucial battle for our minds that we face constantly. As Christians, we have the power of the Word of God to equip us for victory in this war.

Welcome back to week two of Summer Together. Today, we have a special message from our Next-Generation Pastor, Jared Stouffer. Pastor Jared examines the life of Joseph as recounted in the Book of Genesis. Joseph's life provides a clear illustration of how to cultivate patience and place our trust in God's plan above our own desires.

This week we kick off our “Summer Together” series. In this first message the focus is on one question: ‘Do I have to?' Pastor Scott is asking this question specifically about tithing. Follow along as we look at what the Bible has to say about tithing and generosity.

This week concludes our “Step Out” series. Today's message centers around Luke 18:1-8 and the parable of the persistent widow. This parable emphasizes the significance of continuous prayer and the importance of not giving up on our prayers and pursuit of God. God urges us to persistently pray to Him so that we may align ourselves with His will and purpose for our lives. 

Welcome back to week 3 of our "Step Out" series. Today we look at how to take a next step, even when we don't feel like we have what it takes to take that step. In 2 Kings 4 we see a mother/widow bring what she has, even though it it seemed like it wasn't enough, and God do something incredible.

Welcome back to week 2 of our “Step Out” series. Today, we delve deeper into the concept of stepping out in faith within our relationship with Jesus. Taking a look at the story of Daniel 3, we witness the unwavering faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Faced with a daunting choice, they were compelled to decide between their unshakable faith in God and a false god. 

This week, we launch an exciting new series titled “Step Out.” This first message delves into the faith necessary when we choose to leave behind a life of sin and embrace a life centered around Jesus. Our primary focus should be on Jesus, and we should daily place our trust in Him. By doing so, we will experience a transformative change in our lives, as Jesus sanctifies us, enabling us to become more like our Savior. 

Happy Easter Ridge family! Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In today's message, Pastor Scott poses a simple yet profound question to us: if the resurrection is indeed true, what will we do with Jesus? The choice is ours—to reject, neglect, or accept Jesus.

We are already in the sixth week of our series exploring the incredible miracles performed by Jesus during His ministry. Today, we will delve into the book of John, taking an in-depth look of Jesus' remarkable resurrection of Lazarus from the dead. 

Here we are in the fifth week of our study of Jesus' miracles during His earthly ministry. Today, we are in the book of Mark, where Jesus demonstrates His divinity by calming a storm before the disciples. Like other miracles we have examined, this miracle reminds us of two essential truths: God is in control and God is with us. We pray that you will take these truths and allow them to deepen your relationship with God.

This sermon, the fourth in our series on Jesus' miracles during his Earthly ministry, delves into Mark 5. We focus on a story about a demon-possessed man. Jesus frees this man, enabling him to return home and share his miraculous experience with his community. The profound message here is that Jesus extends the same grace to us, empowering us to testify about all He has done for us.

This week we continue in our current series studying the miracles of Jesus. Today's message centers on a very well known miracle in which Jesus feeds the 5,000 with just two fish and five loaves of bread. If we humbly bring our needs to Jesus, he will provide for us, just as he did for those who witnessed his miracles. Bring whatever you have, and let Jesus take care of the rest.

This week, we continue in our “All Things Possible” series, exploring the Miracles of Jesus. Today, we focus on the significance of receiving instruction and placing trust in those who guide us. By entrusting our faith in Jesus and following His teachings, we can undergo a transformative process, becoming more like Him.

This week, we kick off an exciting new series titled “All Things Possible,” where we delve into the miracles of Jesus' life on Earth. In the gospel of Matthew, we encounter a story of two blind men whose sight is miraculously restored by the hands of Jesus. This event is a testament to the profound impact of faith in Jesus' power to heal and restore.

Today, we usher in a new season at Ridge Church as we welcome back Pastor Scott Lawrence as our new lead Pastor. Pastor Trip isn't going anywhere but he is passing the torch of Lead Pastor on to Scott. We are excited and expectant for all God is going to do in this next season for Ridge Church. We would love to have you come along side us and be apart of all that God is doing through Ridge. 

This sermon is week number 3 in our "Family Matters" series. In today's message we spotlight what the Bible teaches about marriage. The Bible gives very clear instructions on how husbands and wives are to treat one another. And we take a look at that passage starting in Ephesians 5:22. We hope and pray this message encourages you in your marriage and relationships with others.

Here we are in week 2 of our current series “Family Matters.” We hope last week laid the foundation for a biblical view of family here on earth. This week we hear from Pastor Jared, our family pastor. And this message has a focus on Generation Alpha and some practical ways we can lead them into a relationship with Christ. We urge you to pray for the generation behind you and ask God to give them a desire for Him. 

This sermon marks week 1 of a series we're calling "Family Matters." In this first message, Pastor Trip takes a look at what the Bible has to say about Family. We take a look at multiple passages that address the idea of what family is like while on this earth. 

Welcome back to the Ridge Church Audio Podcast! Today we wrap up our current series, "A Year Of Yes." This series has been about choosing to say yes, not just to what we want, but to God's will for our lives. Today's messsage addresses what scripture calls us to do when it feels like saying yes to God is the hardest choice to make.

Welcome back to week four of our current series, "A Year Of Yes." This series is all about saying yes to the right things like saying yes to a relationship with Jesus and fully surrendering to Him. This week we talk about what we really "want" and how the default want of our heart is contrary to what God wants. We can see that in James 4:1-3. We pray this message encourages you to say yes to what God wants for your life and not what the world wants you to want. 

Welcome back to week 3 of our "A Year Of Yes" Series. This message is all about saying yes to resting and sabbath in order to glorify God. Our world and culture tends to promote non-stop work and very little intentionally rest. We pray this message helps you take steps to find rest in God and say yes to doing less. God will bless you for it!

Today, we continue in our series "A Year Of Yes." Our focus today is the body of Christ. The church is the body of Christ and it's as clear a picture as we will ever get to seeing and understanding the Father. As we get deeper into the new year, it's important we don't let life change and seasons of transition cause us to drift away from the body of Christ. 

We kick off the new year with a brand new series titled "A Year Of Yes." Our series begins with a look at Proverbs 3:1-18, and 21-26. These verses lay the foundation for the first 3 decisions we need to make this year. Our hope is for this message to be an encouragement for you in your walk with Christ.

This message marks week 4 in our "King's Table" series. We hope and pray this series has helped you in whatever season of life God has you in. And we hope it has helped you to see we all have a seat at God's table when we surrender to Him. This week Pastor Trip reminds us as Christians to use our seat at the table to love others as Jesus did during his minstry on earth. Our seat at God's table is not just for our own benefit. 

Toady we hear the 3rd message in our "King's Table" series. Pastor Trip discusses the biblical principle of tithing and how God will belss us if we do so faithfully. Not earthly blessings but, heavenly treasures will be stored up for us when we give to God joyfully. We ask you to prayerfully consider how God has called you to invest in His kingdom with what he has generuosly given to you. 

This message is the second in our "King's Table" series. We continue to consider how we are saved by God's grace and nothing we've done on our own. Our world believes that we must be great in this life by our own self detemination. But, that sort of pursuit won't fufill us. We will only find greatness when we accept God's grace and surrender our life to God's will. 

This week we take a pause from our "King's Table" series to clebrate baptisms. Today 16 people were baptized from at Ridge Church. Baptism is not what saves us but, it is an important step in our faith Journey. We practice baptism because Jesus model it for us. Baptism is an outward decleration of an inward heart change. 

Welcome to week one of a brand new series we're calling "The King's Table." This series will carry us through the Christmas Season. This week Pastor Trip discusses how we all have a place on God's table through His grace he has poured out on us. Prayefully consider how God has graciously given you a seat at His table for eternity. 

Welcome back to Ridge Church! This week, Pastor Will Sanders from Redland Hills will be talking about the importance of inviting others to church. Christ uses us to invite others, so they can hear the good news of the Gospel.

Today we wrap up our series, "This Great Adventure." We cap it off by taking a brief look at the story of Jesus' birth. Throughout this whole series, our focus has been on trusting God. And we see that theme appear again here. As we close out this series, we hope and pray that it has impacted your walk with God and helped your trust him more. Tune in next week as we hear from Pastor Jared, our family pastor. 

This week marks 5 weeks in our current series, "This Great Adventure." We are honored to Pastor Scott Lawrence from Keys Church in Florida bringing the message this week. He picks up where Pastor Trip left off, so follow along as we look at the story of David in the Bible.

Welcome back to week 4 of "This Great Adventure." We continue with our zoomed out view of God's story told throughout the Bible. You can follow along this week in the book of Ruth. We begin with Ruth 1:1-2. We hope this series continues to help you have a better understanding of why we read the Bible.

This is week 3 in our current series, "This Great Adventure." This series has centered on the theme of trust. Trusting God is the beginning of a relationship with God. We pick up this week with the story of Jacob and Esau and how God called them to trust his plans for their lives.

Welcome back to week 2 of "This Great Adventure." Last week we discussed the fall of man and how our relationship with God was broken in the Garden of Eden. We decided that we didn't trust God. We pick up this week with the life of Abraham and what God did through his life. 

We start a brand new series in our brand new church building. This series is titled "This Great Adventure." This first week is centered on the Creation story and what happened in the Garden of Eden.

This week is the last in our "Summer Together" series. We hear from a special guest, Rhett Barden. Pastor Rhett shares insight on a question many Christians probably have had before. As we get into God's word, we pray for deeper knowledge of Him and His will to become clear. 

We are already in week 5 of our "Summer Together" series. This week, Pastor Trip taks us through Hebrews 6:13-20. In this passsage we are reminded of the hope we have in Jesus. Life will alway bring us trials and tribulation. But, we can persevere through those when Jesus is our Anchor. 

Welcome back to week 4 of Summer Together! If you've been following along this summer, we hope these messages have been helpful and you've grown in your knowlege of God. This week Pastor Trip and has one question for us. "What are you feeding?"

This message is the 3rd in our Summer Together Series. We hear from a special guest, Jeff Centers. Follow along as Jeff discusses God's chain of redemption. 

Welcome back to week 2 of Summer Together. We hope and pray this season gives you oppurtunities to grow closer to God and a body of believers. This week's message centers on building kingdom vision in order to live in God's will.

This week we take a break from our regular series and hear a message from our Jared Stouffer, our Family Pastor. Follow along in Ephesians 7:14-19 where we are instructed to dwell in the love of Christ. We hope and pray that this message strenghtens your walk with Christ.

Welcome to the final sermon in our "Heart Smart" series. As we've been looking at heart issues, today we look at our sinful nature to be selfish. Jesus teaches that we must be self-less if we are to be apart of His kingdom.

Welcome back to week four of our "Heart Smart" series. This week, we continue looking at heart issues that cause us to stumble as Christians. Follow along as we look to what the Bible says about envy and Jealousy. 

Welcome back to week 3 of "Heart Smart." We hope and pray this series has helped you walk with Christ and given you a better understanding of your heart and the Bible. Follow along this week as Pastor Trip gives practical application on redirecting from the world to God.

Welcome back to week two of "Heart Smart." We hope and pray the first week laid a foundation for the Bible's teachings about the human heart. This week we look at pride. We are all prideful by our very nature. But, what does the Bible say about pride? Follow along to gain a greater understanding of pride. 

Welcome to the Ridge Church audio podcast. This sermon marks week one in a series called "Heart Smart." In this series, Pastor Trip dives into the biblical view of the human heart. Not the physical beating heart but, the heart that drives our passions and moves us as humans. The world would have us trust our heart and follow it. But, the bible tells us something different. Follow along to have a biblical understanding of your heart. 

This sermon is the final one in our "Savior For All" series. We hope and pray this series has benefitted your faith walk with Jesus. In this message, Pastor Trips teaches the Biblical principle that the Holy Spirit and Jesus intercede on our behalf. They are both praying on our behalf and acting as our faith agent. 

Happy Easter Ridge Church and those tuning in for the first time! In this message, Pastor Trip talks about why so many people missed Jesus while he was on Earth. They misunderstood why Jesus came to Earth in the first place. Many people listening to this may be in the same place as those people. Don't miss your chance to know Jesus and follow Him. 

This message is part 13 of our "Savior For All" series. If you've made it this far, we are glad to have you with us. This week also is Palm Sunday, the Sunday before we celebrate Easter. Follow along as Pastor Trip discusses the New Covenant Jesus established.
