Disordered Desire

Marriage and singleness are often viewed through the lens of what we lack, but Scripture reveals how both point us toward the greater love and faithfulness of Jesus. Marriage is a gift to cultivate and a covenant to protect, while singleness is a meaningful expression of life with Christ—not an incomplete version of it. Through the gospel, we find grace for our relational brokenness and are invited to reflect the faithful, sacrificial love of Jesus in the ordinary moments of our lives.Catch 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

Our desires shape the way we love, and Jesus calls us to examine what’s shaping our hearts. In Matthew 5:27–30, He challenges us to move beyond consuming others for our own gratification and toward a love marked by faithfulness, integrity, and care for our neighbor. But following Jesus isn’t just about trying harder to resist temptation. It’s about bringing our deepest longings to Him, finding the satisfaction only He can give, and allowing His grace to transform us into people who love like He does.Please note this sermon covers sensitive and mature topics—listen at your discretion.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Shame has a way of convincing us to hide—from others, from God, and sometimes even from ourselves. But from the garden of Eden to Jesus’ encounter with a woman facing public shame, we see a God who moves toward us, not away from us. In week three of Made for God, we look at how sin distorts our relationships and how the grace of Jesus meets us in our guilt, wounds, and deepest shame. Jesus knows our whole story, and He invites us out of hiding and into the freedom of His grace.Catch the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.During the Made for God series, you can find resources to help you keep exploring these conversations at bridge.tv/madeforgod or by visiting bridge.tv/info.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

God made us for worship, love, and life with Him—and the people we’re becoming are shaped by more than what we believe. Every home is discipling someone into something, as our everyday rhythms, relationships, and habits shape what we love and how we live. In Deuteronomy 6, we see how becoming like Jesus happens in the ordinary moments of life, and because His grace meets us in the middle of our mess, we don’t have to get it all right to start becoming more like Him.Check out the sermon on bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.During the Made for God series, you can find resources to help you keep exploring these conversations at bridge.tv/madeforgod or by visiting bridge.tv/info.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

The body you woke up in this morning was God’s idea. In Romans 12, Paul invites us to see our bodies not as problems to fix or projects to perfect, but as gifts from God that can be offered back to Him in worship. As we learn to recognize the ways our culture shapes our desires and defines our worth, Jesus renews our minds and teaches us to live our whole lives in view of God’s mercy.Catch the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.Throughout the Made for God series, you can find resources to help you keep exploring these conversations at bridge.tv/madeforgod or by visiting bridge.tv/info.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

What if sharing your faith isn’t about having the perfect answer—but being willing to tell the story of the hope you’ve found in Jesus? Peter calls us to live lives that make people curious, speak about Jesus when the door opens, and do it all with gentleness and respect. The gospel reached us because somebody carried it to us; now we get to carry it to someone else.Catch the sermon on bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you stream podcasts!To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

God is already at work in the lives of the people around us, but are we paying attention? In Acts 8, Philip shows us what it looks like to partner with the Holy Spirit: listening for God’s voice, looking for where He is moving, asking good questions, and taking the risk of sharing the good news about Jesus. Witness isn’t about forcing a moment; it’s about joining the God who is already pursuing people.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Jesus didn’t wait for Zacchaeus to clean up his life before moving toward him; grace came to his house first, and transformation followed. Because the gospel is the story of God bringing the estranged near through Christ, hospitality is more than kindness—it’s one of the ways we bear witness to the welcome we have received. As we make room for people in the ordinary rhythms of our lives, we create space for relationships, conversations, and the Spirit of God to do what only He can do.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

What if evangelism wasn't about crafting a strategy, but instead, carrying a story? This week, we look at how Christ's love compels His followers to be His witnesses. As we spend time with Jesus and become more like Him, the way we see the people around us changes. We become witnesses who make ourselves available to what God is already doing.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
