The book of Philippians is full of paradoxes, one of the most profound being how Paul experiences true freedom even while in chains. His confidence, after all, was never in the possibility of God changing his circumstances, but in God sustaining him no matter what. In this week's message from Philippians 1, Pastor Curtis reveals three more aspects of “the good life,” a life that makes sense only when our perspective is the same as Paul's: To live is Christ, and to die is gain.

RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST | Walking Under the Influence | Pastor Curtis Dunlap | Sunday, May 24, 2026

This Sunday, Pastor Curtis shares a powerful message titled “Victory Through Defeat,” reminding us that true victory comes when we surrender our pride, our plans, and our limitations to God's will. Through the story of Naaman in II Kings 5, we're challenged to expose what we've been hiding, embrace humility, and discover that healing and freedom are found only through His way, not our own.

Most people think ambition is the enemy of godliness. Talk about calling all day, but ambition feels dangerous. Selfish. Un-Christian. But in Romans 15, Paul doesn't apologize for his ambition. He boasts in it. The difference isn't the drive. It's the direction. Holy ambition isn't self-promotion. It's Spirit-fueled resolve to accomplish a specific work for Christ. One that's freed from proving yourself. One that measures winning the way Jesus does. One that knows when to say no.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events

Ambition tends to get a bad rap, particularly in Christian circles. Sometimes, that's for good reason.

In this week's message from Romans 15, Pastor Curtis shows us how the gospel shapes ambition and ultimately redeems it. When we are secure in our identity in Christ, we won't be striving for self-worth; we'll be striving from the worth given to us in him.

We've all heard the voice of that inner critic, telling us that we're not enough, that we need to constantly prove ourselves.
