Obedience has a special place in the Christian life. It is not merely doing what is asked, but we obey because we see God in our superiors. All authority descends from God.
In the closing verses of Colossians, Paul introduces us to ordinary people whose lives show us the kinds of people God uses. This message challenges us to be dependable, transformed by grace, committed to prayer, willing to sacrifice, faithful with what God has given us, and determined to finish well.The question is simple: Do you want to be used by God? Faithfulness begins by treasuring Christ above everything else and placing our lives, gifts, resources, and opportunities in His hands.
Proverbs ushers us into a rhythm of life where hard work and meaningful rest are both opportunities for worship. By working, we point to a powerful God who made us to work hard as He works. Building order, beauty, and flourishing. By resting, we point to a sovereign God who sustains us while we rest, and will usher us into future, everlasting rest. I’m going to walk us through 6 principles Proverbs outlines about the umbrella topic work and rest.
What does it look like to actually live as the household of God? In Acts 2, we see a changed people become family—sharing their lives, homes, resources, and time because they had encountered the grace of God. Because Jesus first opened His hands for us, grace received becomes generosity released as we make whatever God has given us available for the good of others.Catch the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

All Apologies. In this episode, we respond to another listener question. What does it mean to "sit with a text" and yet be prepared at all times to give an apology for the hope that is in us? How does the Holy Spirit work in and through believers to testify to the truth about Jesus? Does the Spirit work through non-Christians, and if so, how and to what purpose? How has modern Christian evangelism differed from pre-modern evangelism and apologetics? What do the gospels teach us about the character of evangelism? This and much, much more in this week's episode.

By Jorge de Campos - We need to examine whether our years in God's Church have produced genuine spiritual change. Christ teaches that God's righteousness reaches the heart, requiring mercy, forgiveness, humility, and gentleness rather than self-righteous judgment of others. Since judgment has already begun with God's
By Robert Fahey - The book of Obadiah contains some yet to be fulfilled prophecies, as well as lessons for us today.
By Tim Martens - What you do matters. What you decide to do, today and every day, has a consequence. The Bible is relentlessly clear about this: cause and effect, decisions and rewards. From Revelation to Proverbs, from Ruth to the Epistles, Scripture repeats the same theme — sometimes gently, sometimes urgently —
By Gary Petty - To build a healthy church you need an action plan. Studying Acts 2:40 - 47 to help build that plan.
By Daniel Lausted - We all experience the pain of a broken heart, whether due to sin, loss, or the struggles of the world. This message explores the profound work of Christ, who came not just to heal, but to gently bind up our deepest wounds. Learn the practical steps of self-examination, prayer, and community support
By John Freeman - The Bible teaches timeless universal truths. But it was originally written to specific peoples with their own cultures and customs. Many passages had more impact to the original audience because the text spoke in terms common to their everyday life. Likewise, some passages have more meaning and
By John Elliott - The New Covenant Church is described as a Body with various needs. How does God intend for its needs to be filled? Let's examine our role in providing care for each member of the Body of Christ.
By Kelly M Irvin - What is worship? Not just asking God for things. Not just gratitude for what He provides. True worship — the Greek proskunio — is devotional affection like a dog licking its master's hand: intentional, loving, focused on pleasing the one you adore. In this message, learn what it means to worship God
By Chris Rowland - This sermonette looks at four important qualities of a good shepherd. While these are qualities of God as our shepherd, they also instruct us as shepherds-in-training so that we can grow to become like our elder brother, Jesus Christ.
By John May - This message focuses on the concept of unfinished spiritual business, examining three aspects of this concept. We as individual Christians have unfinished spiritual business. The Church of God has unfinished spiritual business. And God the Father and Jesus Christ also have unfinished spiritual
By Craig Scott - The purpose of this message is to review what we know, and what is clear from scripture about authority within the Church of God.
By Jeff Brown - During His last Passover, Christ prayed to the Father (John 17). He prayed for His 12 disciples who would soon become Apostles, and He also prayed for us, and for the health of the true Church of God down through the ages. Satan attacks the Church constantly, trying to foment division and enmity
“Honor your father and your mother” - The 5th Commandment is about more than children obeying their parents. God calls us to honor our parents throughout our lives by listening, respecting, caring, and giving thanks. Yet we have all fallen short. We have rebelled against authority and trusted our own wisdom rather than believing God is truly for our good. Jesus was the perfect Son who honored his parents and obeyed his heavenly Father even to the point of death on the cross. Through him, rebellious children can come home to a Father who loves us, welcomes us, and is always for our good.
The chief apostle. The man who preached the first sermon. The one in all the stained glass windows across western Europe. And he still caved to peer pressure — pulling away from Gentile believers the moment Jewish leaders showed up, not wanting to look bad in front of the wrong people. Paul confronted him publicly, face to face. If the man at the top of the church was still working through his stuff, the question of whether you have it all together before God can use you starts to look very different.Paul's response to all of it — the opposition, the hypocrisy, the friendly fire from within — boils down to one verse he returns to throughout his entire life: I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. He's not trying to construct a righteousness of his own. He's living in the grace of God, acknowledging that if righteousness could be gained through the law, what Jesus did meant nothing.The people most likely to discourage your faith aren't always outside the church. Sometimes they're inside it — convinced that purity means meeting their specific standard, that following Jesus only counts if it looks a certain way. That's friendly fire. And the answer to it isn't bitterness or retreat. It's the same answer Paul gives: I'm not building a righteousness of my own. I'm living in his.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

Have you ever experienced "friendly fire" — opposition or discouragement from inside the church rather than outside it? How did it affect your faith?2. What does "I have been crucified with Christ, I no longer live" actually look like on a Tuesday? What does that verse mean in practice for how you live?3. Do you ever hold back from being used by Jesus because you don't feel like you have it together enough yet? What would it look like to stop waiting for that moment?
The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us a dual lesson. First, the imagery of Christ's compassion. The second, of mankind being graciously wounded since the Fall. Yet the Good Samaritan is a symbol of Our Lord to provide the man afflicted on the side of the road with the greatness of grace.
Fear hides and takes on different forms to stay hidden, but we must realize the results of fear. When we see the results of the thoughts we are taking in, we won't continue to fall for the traps of the enemy. Fear is the number one enemy to faith, and the main fruit of fear is that we forget how big our God is.
By Jorge de Campos - When was Hebrews written? Who wrote Hebrews? Background of the Epistle. Six warnings. God now speaks through His Son!
If Jesus is real and His Word is true, everything about life changes.Today, we continue our sermon series from the archives on Hebrews 11, the Bible's great “Hall of Faith.” In this message, Paul shows how faith in God transforms four things - vision, identity, desire, and relationship.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

Paul had a complicated past. Before he was a follower of Jesus, he hunted down Christians — he didn't just disagree with them, he had them killed. So when he shows up preaching freedom in Christ, the obvious move for his opponents was to use that history against him. And it worked, at least on some people. How could you trust a man like that?Paul's response is striking. He doesn't minimize it. He doesn't explain it. He points to it directly and says: I was the best at sinning against God — nobody did it better. And that's exactly why you should listen. Because if Jesus can do that in me, the argument about what he can do in you collapses.When you find freedom in Jesus, the same thing tends to happen. People in your life — friends, family — will bring up your past. Sometimes with suspicion, sometimes with mockery, sometimes with genuine confusion. The instinct is to distance yourself from who you were. But that instinct is wrong. Your past isn't something to escape — it's evidence. Every bit of wreckage behind you, every mistake you can name clearly and without flinching, is an argument for what Jesus does in a person when they genuinely meet him.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

How did you respond, and what do you wish you had said?Paul turns his shameful past into an argument for the power of Jesus. What parts of your own story — things you might be tempted to hide — could actually serve as evidence of what God does?What does real freedom look like to you — not freedom from rules, but the kind Paul describes? Have you ever experienced a taste of it?
God wants us to be better. This demands that we look at ourselves, including our interior disposition. We are likely to discover darkness in our souls. It may disturb us to uncover this darkness. We must not be afraid of this experience, as it ultimately brings us closer to God.

God’s vision for womanhood calls the world’s vision up short. The picture of womanhood portrayed in Proverbs 31 is not a standard to be met, but a vision to inspire.
2 Peter 1:16-2:3 16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” 18we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 19And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
What do we do when people who love Jesus, trust the Bible, and genuinely want to follow Him come to different conclusions? This week, we talk about the kind of people Jesus is forming us to be in the middle of disagreement—people who hold their convictions with humility, listen with curiosity, and refuse to let disagreement become bigger than the relationship we share in Jesus. Because the gospel gives us both something to believe and a way to live—with conviction, humility, and love for one another.Check out the sermon wherever you listen to podcasts or at bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show
