Greater Things: From God, For God!Vision Sunday 2026 | Ps Byron ChickenWhat does it look like to live a life marked by Greater Things?In this Vision Sunday message, Ps Byron unpacks one of the most daring moments in Scripture — Peter stepping out of the boat — and shows us how expectation and obedience work together to unlock greater things from God and for God.Key ScriptureMatthew 14:21–33 (Peter walks on water)Message HighlightsPeter wasn't reckless — he was expectant.Greater things are released when expectation meets obedience.Peter believed he could do what Jesus was doing — and acted on it.Faith isn't passive; it moves toward Jesus.Big IdeaGreater Things = Expectation + ObedienceHow We Grow in ExpectationFaith memory: Remembering what God has already done builds faith for what He will do next.Bold prayers: If Peter never asked, he never would have walked.God's promises: What we feed on shapes what we expect.Expectation is the key that opens the door to see the whole room — not just the keyhole.Obedience ReframedObedience isn't restrictive — it's liberating.What is birthed in expectation must grow up in obedience.One step of obedience can set up a lifetime of victory.What Holds Us BackFear of lossFear of uncertaintyDesire for controlImpatience with God's timingDistraction and busynessGreater Things From GodDeeper intimacy with JesusSpiritual transformationFreedom and deliveranceProvision beyond human calculationRestoration beyond lossFruitfulness and lasting impactPeace and stability in chaosGreater Things For God — TogetherWe're not consumers — we're contributors.

In this message from John 1:35–51, we look at the story of Nathanael and what happens when honest skepticism meets a Jesus who truly sees.When Nathanael asks, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”, he isn't rejected—he's invited. Jesus meets him not with argument, but with revelation, showing that faith doesn't begin with certainty, but with proximity.This teaching explores:-The invitation to “Come and See.”-Honest questions and sincere faith-What Jesus means when He calls Nathanael “an Israelite indeed.”-The significance of the fig tree-Nathanael's confession of Jesus as King-Why Jesus calls Himself the Son of Man-The promise of seeing “greater things” and open heavenThis message is for anyone who has followed Jesus from a distance and is ready to draw closer—not just to know about Him, but to truly see.www.overflowdfw.comSupport the show

Send us a textGrace and peace upon yall I hope you were able to enjoy Christmas with gratitude for all that we are blessed with in this life, whether little , enough or much... We wrap up our overview of The Book of Mark. My prayer is that  these high level spirit filled views impacted you, drawing you to go back dig deep into each verse of each chapter to build your intimate view from The Holy Spirit.God bless you as we move into 2026.Big LoveJeffSupport the show

Text: John 1:19–23, 43–51Main Idea: Christmas reminds us of the greatness of Christ—greater than any gift we receive.Description:As Christmas approaches, we look at the majesty of Jesus through the eyes of John the Baptist and the first disciples. Pastor Antonio shows how Christ exceeds all our expectations and invites us into something far greater than anything this season can offer.Give: https://thebridgechurch.org/give#AmongUsSeries #ChristmasAtTheBridge #TheBridgeChurch #PastorAntonioThomas#Advent #John1 #TheWordMadeFlesh #SundayService #LivestreamWorship

In this lesson, Pastor Dale teaches on the importance of "pressing in" to the things of God. Receiving all that God has preordained and prepared for His children does not happen automatically. Believers must actively and wholeheartedly pursue the things of God, rather than sitting idle and waiting on His blessings to simply "fall" from the sky. When we press in to know God and learn more about His Kingdom and His plan for our lives, we can fully expect to be met with the revelation, wisdom, and direction necessary to move forward - and upward - into greater levels of blessing and spiritual maturity.

Storms are inevitable — but with God, you are greater than the storm. In this powerful message, Pastor Keela Craft Ambrose teaches how joy becomes your weapon, your strength, and your spiritual resistance in the hardest seasons of life. Drawing from Nehemiah 8:10 and Isaiah 61, she reveals how joy is not a feeling you wait for, but a focus you choose.

In today's powerful message, Pastor Josh teaches us what it truly means to develop greater faith — the kind of faith that sees the future the way God sees it. Drawing from Matthew 18, Mark 4, and Romans 12, he explains that faith is not the absence of fear. It's choosing courage over cowardice and trusting that God is writing a good story even when life feels uncertain.

This Fall we've been living in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John as a congregation. We've been looking at how Jesus models life for us and what is possible for a human being surrendered to God the Father and empowered by God the Holy Spirit. In this week's sermon, the conclusion to our series, we look at some of Jesus' last words to His disciples, that they would do even greater works than He had done. We talk about what it means to trust Jesus' words and how we can live surrendered to the Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit.Scripture Reading: John 14:8-26

Greater Things, Greater Community: Charles Yu | November 23rd, 2025

Greater Things, Greater Transformation: Chris Kopp | November 16th, 2025

God has greater things prepared for your life—but those greater things require a greater you. In this powerful message, Pastor Keith Craft teaches how to “Job your life” by aligning your thoughts, actions, and decisions with God's plan.

Greater Things, Greater Transformation: Chris Kopp | November 16th, 2025

Greater Things, Greater Discernment: Charles Yu | November 9th, 2025

In this powerful message, Pastors Clay and Whitney Jones share their personal miracle story — a journey through heartbreak, loss, and restoration that will strengthen your faith and remind you that nothing is impossible with God.  

When you give through the church, you become part of every story it tells. And (bonus!) generosity changes you – for the better. This week, Josh reminds us that generosity isn't about guilt, but about joyfully investing in something eternal.

Greater Things, Greater Sufficiency: Matt Metzger | November 2nd, 2025

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 2, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Romans 8:1, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 8:22-25, John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Matthew 6:9-10, John 14:12, Romans 8:29, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Acts 1:8, Matthew 13:31-33, John 14:4-5, John 18:36 Reflection Questions: 1. Read Romans 8:22-25 Paul describes that we along with the whole creation groan inwardly for the redemption of all things. How specifically have you experienced the groaning of this life? How have you experienced the longing for heaven and redemption of all things? How have you experienced times of the Kingdom of heaven breaking into your life? 2. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? In this current age we are the temples of the Holy Spirit and God's plan to bring heaven to earth.How do you see God using you to bring heaven to earth? What makes that challenging for you? What would you need to change in order to see God use you more? 3. John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. What did Jesus mean that we would do greater things than he had been doing? 4. Take some time to read briefly over the Sermon on the Mount. (Matthew 5-7) This is Jesus teaching on what the Kingdom of Heaven looks like. What are some things you observe as values of God's Kingdom? Where do you see places that God needs to change you to reflect these values? What is the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing about this change in the life of a follower of Jesus? 5. What is one tangible way you can bring the Kingdom of heaven to earth in every area of your life? (Friends, Family, Work, Church, School, Neighborhood, etc.) What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Before God promotes you, He prunes you. Before He multiplies you, He presses you. And before He pours you out, He matures you. In this powerful message, Pastor Keela Craft Ambrose shares how to embrace God's process of pruning, pressing, and waiting—so you can become everything He designed you to be.

t's time for believers to rise up with courage and conviction. In this bold message, guest speaker Andrew Sedra challenges the church to live with unshakable faith and stand for biblical truth in a culture that often opposes it.

We all want greater things — but God doesn't just want to give you greater blessings. He wants to help you become a greater person.

Have you ever considered that the way God wants to use you may be greater than you've imagined? This week, we look at Jesus' pattern of multiplication to discover how personal devotion and obedience to Him naturally lead us to joyfully expand His kingdom. 

Greater Things, Greater Maturity: Chris Dolson | October 26, 2025

Jesus promised His disciples they would do greater things than Him when our lives are yielded to and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Modeling what that looks like is the most important legacy we can leave for the next generation.

This week, we're talking service. Serving is not a side activity for super-Christians; it's a core expression of discipleship. Jesus redefined greatness as service, not status.“Greatness in the Kingdom isn't about the power in your fist; it's about the towel in your hand.”

Greater Things, Greater View: Matt Metzger | October 19, 2025

A study through the gospel of John. Pastor Keith preached on Jesus' words, "You will do greater things than these".
