Stairway to Heaven

John 5v1-9 with Tyler Staton Jesus asks the man at Bethesda, “Do you want to get well?” and then tells him to get up, pick up his mat, and walk. Wholeness is a gift of God’s grace, but it also calls for our participation - choosing to get up, take a step, and follow Jesus into a new way of life.   Bridgetown.church/teaching   

Genesis 34 with Todd Liles What happens when we try to build the life we long for without listening to God’s voice? In a difficult story of violence, revenge, and brokenness, we are reminded that our attempts to create the garden on our own terms only leave us carrying heavier burdens. Jesus offers another way, inviting us to come to him and find rest   Bridgetown.church/teaching 

Genesis 32v22-32 with Tyler Staton What does it mean to wrestle with God well? Jacob’s struggle reveals that bringing our deepest fears, desires, and resistance to God can lead us somewhere we could never reach through control alone: toward surrender, healing, and the courage to reconcile with what has been broken.   Bridgetown.church/teaching   

Genesis 31v17-32v1 with Nijay Gupta What happens when God’s promises seem to take a completely different path than the one we expected? Through Jacob’s long detour in Genesis, we are reminded that God is present even in the waiting, the disappointment, and the places where we cannot see what he is doing.   Bridgetown.church/teaching 

Genesis 30v27-28 with Gavin Bennett What if the patterns that have shaped you for generations don’t have to define you forever? Even in the midst of our brokenness, God moves toward us with compassion, inviting us to stop grasping, renew our trust, and receive the healing and freedom he offers.   Bridgetown.church/teaching

Genesis 28v10-22 with Tyler Staton We can have powerful encounters with God and still wake up the next morning carrying the same fears, insecurities, and patterns that shaped us before. What happens when a dream becomes a vision, and an encounter with God is converted into a life lived in participation with him? Bridgetown.church/teaching

Genesis 27v6-10 with Tyler Staton So much of our striving begins with the fear that God's blessing is something we have to earn, protect, or take for ourselves. Through the story of a fractured family, we are invited to let go of scarcity, trust the abundance of God's kingdom, and discover that his grace has always been a gift to receive, not a prize to grasp. Even in the midst of our failures, God remains relentless in blessing and redeeming his people.   Bridgetown.church/teaching

Genesis 25v19-26v14 with Christian Dawson   What do you do when life feels out of your control? When desire keeps telling you to take what you want, and fear keeps telling you to protect what you have? Most of us listen. We grasp, we scheme, we self-protect. That's where we find Jacob, Esau, and Isaac, a family of grabbers and liars that God blesses anyway.   bridgetown.church/teaching

Genesis 24v1-11 with Joy Schlichter Through stories of witness, trust, and unexpected partnership, we are reminded that God's loyal love has always endured and that he continues to weave ordinary people into his work of making all things new. The invitation is to remember his faithfulness, trust his promises, and participate in the story he is still telling. Bridgetown.church/teaching

Genesis 22v1-19 with Tim Mackie What do we do with the good gifts in our lives when they become so precious that we cannot imagine living without them? Exploring one of Scripture's most challenging stories, we are invited to consider how surrender, loss, and trust can become the very places where God's mercy and resurrection meet us. What might God be inviting you to place back into his hands?   Bridgetown.church/teaching
