Pathway of a Disciple (Pastor Nick Stephanovic) 8/16/26 Bridge City Church

Text: Acts 8:4-25  Title: Salvation: A Power Freely Given by Nick Neves, pastor    Pastor Nick looks at the story of Simon Magus, and marvels at the free gift of grace. 

Every leader will face criticism.The question isn't if it will happen.The question is whether you'll allow criticism to shape your leadership—or simply sharpen it.In Episode 225 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sat down with Pastor Nick for an honest conversation about leading through criticism, building trust, creating healthy culture, and staying focused on what God has actually called your church to do.Because one of the greatest temptations for any leader is trying to keep everyone happy.And that's a battle you'll never win.Here's some of what we unpack:Why church planters often lose momentum by trying to do too much too soonHow to build critical mass by focusing on a few things and doing them exceptionally wellWhy clarity creates momentum while ambiguity creates tensionHow to lead without becoming addicted to approvalPractical ways to build trust with people who have been hurt by previous church experiencesWhy leadership should be earned through intentional development—not handed out too quicklyHow leadership circles and apprenticeships help build a healthy leadership pipelineThe importance of creating an invitation culture instead of relying on a few big SundaysHow stories and celebration shape the culture of your churchOne of the strongest reminders from our conversation was this:"You can't lead with authority if you're addicted to approval."Every pastor wants to care for people.But caring for people isn't the same as allowing every opinion to determine the direction of your church.Healthy leadership requires the courage to stay clear on the vision God has given you—even when not everyone agrees.If you've ever wrestled with criticism, struggled to stay focused, or wondered how to build a healthier culture in your church, I think this conversation will encourage you and give you practical leadership tools you can use immediately.

Speaker: Pastor NickSynopsis: This morning we continue our "Fingerprints" series which dives into our denominational core values. Today we dive into our fourth core value: Following Jesus. Pastor Nick is back this week to help us to discern between two questions: Do you know Jesus? OR Do you follow Jesus? These are NOT the same question and the difference becomes increasingly important as we dive into this mornings scripture in Matthew 7. Want to learn more?

In week six of our Summer Roadtrip series through Romans, Pastor Nick Newman unpacks one of Scripture's most beloved promises, reminding us that God is intentionally working every detail of our lives together for His purpose. Even when life feels unfinished or confusing, discover how God uses every season to shape us into the image of Christ, and why He's not done with you yet. This message was recorded live on August 2nd, 2026.

In this message, Pastor Nick looks at 1 Samuel 30:1–30 and explores six enemies that can affect our families, relationships, faith, and future. More importantly, we are reminded that through God's wisdom, grace, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit, these enemies can be overcome.

Have you ever wondered where God is when nothing seems to be happening?The book of Exodus begins in an unexpected place—not with miracles or the Red Sea, but with years of silence, suffering, and waiting. Yet behind the scenes, God was faithfully preparing His plan of redemption.In this first message of our new series through Exodus, we'll discover that even when God seems silent, He is still at work, keeping His promises and accomplishing His purposes.

What happens when God calls ordinary people to extraordinary things?In Week 2 of our Exodus: The God Who Delivers series, we journey to the burning bush in Exodus 3, where God reveals His holiness, His compassion, and His name to Moses. Before God ever gives Moses a mission, He reveals who He is.

Pastor Nick shares a message entitled “Building More Than a Building.” Together, we'll explore how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things and how His greatest work isn't just restoring buildings—it's transforming lives.

In this message, Pastor Nick opens the brand-new series "Better" with a message that will challenge how you see generosity. In this message, Pastor Nick talks about the heart of giving and how the exhaustion you feel might not have anything to do with how much you're giving and everything to do with why you're giving.

What Are You Really Afraid Of? | Matthew 10:26-33 | Pastor Nick ScheskeFear rarely shows up looking like fear. It shows up as stress, frustration, the need for everyone to like you, the need for everything to go according to plan. In this message from Matthew 10, Jesus addresses the disciples before sending them out and he tells them three times: Don't be afraid. Not because fear isn't real. Because fear has more of a hold on us than we think.We look at three layers Jesus exposes: the fear of what people think, the fear of what we might lose, and what it actually looks like to live from a different foundation. The question isn't whether you have fear. The question is what fear has a hold of you.

Jesus teaches that divorce is not merely a legal issue but a heart issue, calling people back to God's design for marriage as a faithful covenant rather than a contract of convenience. Pastor Nick emphasizes that while God takes marriage seriously, He also extends grace and restoration to broken people, confronting sin while protecting the vulnerable and offering hope through Christ. The message encourages believers to reflect God's covenant faithfulness by supporting healthy marriages, seeking healing in broken relationships, and living in the balance of truth and grace. #MarriageMatters #CovenantFaithfulness #TruthAndGrace #HeartTransformation #GodsRedemption

We're diving back into the book of Proverbs this summer with our series A Course for Life. In this conversation, Pastor Nick and Pastor Stephen share the heart behind the series and why Proverbs continues to be such a timely and needed guide for everyday living. They talk through why so many people today feel unsure about direction, how wisdom is formed over time, and why we often resist correction even when it's meant to help us. The conversation also touches on the impact of small decisions, the importance of integrity and honesty, and the kinds of topics we'll be exploring throughout the series. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're just beginning to explore faith, we believe that this study on Proverbs will give you wisdom, direction, and encouragement for whatever season of life you're in right now. Don't forget to grab your free notebook as an additional resource as you follow along with the series.
