The Ridge – Weekly Message
How do I walk through seasons of pain with God?
Two disciples are walking along the road to Emmaus in Luke chapter 24. As they talk through the grief and disappointment over Jesus’s execution and death, a third man enters into the conversation. He walks alongside them and offers comfort, yet challenges them in their lament. Turns out this man is Jesus, and His interaction with these men reveals much about Him.

Kingdom Sight | Mark 8:11-30 | July, 30, 2023
Last week, Mark's emphasis was on hearing the words of Jesus and this week the focus is on seeing Jesus. With all the confusion in the 1st Century, and today, about the identity of Jesus - who he is, really - Mark shows us not only that Jesus is God, but that he also is ready to heal our blindness and cures our inability to see him clearly.

"Kingdom Irony" | Mark 7:24-8:10 | July 23, 2023
Earlier in Mark 7, Jesus is accused of being unclean. Jesus, responded by showing that it is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean. So, our sermon text shows us what comes out of Jesus mouth: deliverance, healing, and provision - restoring and remaking unclean people into his family! Jesus' words are not just pure, they make everything better!

"Kingdom Expectations" | Mark 6:30-56 | July 2, 2023
In this sermon we explore the uncomfortable reality that we have expectations of Jesus that are too low. And our low expectations are rooted in our hard hearts that just do not know him very well. But, we see Jesus invite us to see him, to know him, and he is postured to heal our hearts that we would joyfully rest in the hope of his Kingdom.

If you, like us, fear rejection and struggle to not be paralyzed by it, see that there is hope for us in this passage!

Join us this week as we continue to use a section from the Athanasian Creed as a prompt for praying for us. This week we zero in on how doctrine and mission are not two different, or opposed, ideas, but one. 1 Timothy 4:16 is our paradigm, where Paul tells Timothy to watch his life and doctrine closely, that he might save his hearers. We want to be a doctrinally sound Church not only because that is Biblical and glorifying to God, but...
