7 Deadly Sins: Pride

Daniel 4v4-9, 22-34 with Ken Shigematsu Through the rise, fall, and restoration of King Nebuchadnezzar, humility is revealed as acknowledging God as the true source of power and life. The story shows how pride unravels us from the inside out, and how recognizing God’s rule restores what was lost. bridgetown.church/teaching

Luke 12v13-34 with Tyler Staton Jesus names greed as rooted in a mindset of scarcity and invites his disciples into a radically different imagination: a life shaped by God’s abundance.

Jonah 4v1-9 with Christine Caine Anger has become normalized in our world, quietly fracturing our relationships, health, and life with God. Through the story of Jonah, we’re invited to notice how unresolved anger grows, distorts our priorities, and blinds us to God’s compassion. By sitting with God’s question, Is it right for you to be angry? we’re pointed toward a better way where anger is faced honestly, healed at the root, and no longer allowed to rule us.

Luke 2v8-20 with Lucy Peppiatt This first teaching in our Advent series reflects on the angels and shepherds in Luke 2, showing how God draws near through messengers who reveal his character, announce his coming, and invite us into worship.

John 8v31-36 with Tyler Staton At the end of the day, the Examen invites us to slow down, notice what shaped us, and return to the truth of Jesus. In this final teaching of the series, we look at how evening prayer helps us release what is false, remember God’s presence, and rest in the freedom He offers. This series invites us to let prayer form every part of life: morning, midday, and evening, shaping our hearts into the likeness of Jesus. bridgetown.church/teaching
