The Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:23-27Luke 9:23-27 - Pastor Rob’s sermon focuses on the radical call of discipleship: to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus. He reminds us that while the call to die to self sounds heavy, it leads to abundant life, joy, and true freedom found only in Christ. Pastor Rob challenges listeners to examine whether they are truly living surrendered lives, not merely being religious or seeking blessings, but embracing the full cost and beauty of following Jesus. What parts of your life still need to die? Are you daily taking up your cross and living in...2025-04-2944 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchEaster Sunday | Luke 24:1-9 Luke 24:1-9 - Pastor Rob’s Easter message centers on the profound reality of Jesus’ resurrection and what it means for those who believe: not just forgiveness of sins, but abundant life through the new covenant. He unpacks how, because Christ is risen, believers receive a new heart, are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and are empowered to live holy, purpose-filled lives rooted in relationship with God. This abundant life is marked by peace (shalom), transformation, identity, purpose, and a spiritual richness that transcends circumstances. Are you walking in the abundant life Jesus offers?

As the disciples anticipate an immediate, political kingdom, Jesus redirects their expectations with a story illustrating the responsibility of faithful service during His physical absence. Each servant is given the same gift—the good news of the Kingdom—and is expected to put it to work, not hide it in fear. Pastor Rob challenges listeners to embrace their role in the “family business” of proclaiming the gospel, warning that all will one day give an account...2025-04-1540 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:10-22Luke 9:10-22 - Pastor Rob unpacks the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 as more than just a display of provision—it reveals Jesus as the greater Moses, the promised prophet who would lead people into true life through communion with God. He emphasizes that discipleship means both learning and doing: the apostles had been sent out to preach and heal, and now they return to debrief with Jesus. Yet even in their weariness, Jesus teaches them to welcome interruptions for the sake of the Gospel. Through the miracle of multiplying bread, Jesus points back to Israel’s wilderness journey and forw...2025-04-0843 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:1-10Luke 9:1-10 - Pastor Rob speaks about the importance of trusting God's guidance even when life feels uncertain or difficult.

Using biblical examples, he highlights how God’s timing and plans often differ from our expectations but ultimately lead to greater growth and fulfillment. Where are you placing your trust— in your own abilities, circumstances, or in God’s promises? Where in your life are you struggling to trust God fully? What would it look like to surrender that area to Him...2025-04-0150 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe People of the Kingdom | Luke 17:20-37Luke 17:20-37 - This week, we focus on the coming of God’s Kingdom and the urgency of being prepared for Christ’s return.

Are you actively sharing the...2025-03-2651 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:49-56Luke 8:49-56 - Pastor Rob’s sermon focuses on Jesus’ authority over death, as seen in Luke 8 when He raises Jairus' daughter. He explains that death is not just physical but also relational and spiritual, stemming from humanity’s separation from God due to sin. Jesus, through His resurrection, not only conquered death but also restores life and relationship with God for all who believe. What is your trajectory—are you walking in life or death? Are you sharing the hope of Jesus with others? And are you fully experiencing the eternal life He offers, or is there an area whe...2025-03-1153 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:40-48Luke 8:40-48 - This week, we see Jesus' ultimate authority over all things—nature, demons, sickness, and even death—highlighting His power to restore what is broken. Pastor Rob illustrates how Jesus not only calms the storm and casts out demons but also heals a woman suffering for 12 years, calling her "daughter" and restoring her dignity. The message is clear: Jesus sees, knows, and cares for those who come to Him in faith. Are you willing to push through the crowd to reach Jesus? Do you truly trust Him to restore what is broken in your life? Are you livi...2025-03-0443 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:22-39Luke 8:22-39 - This week's passage, Pastor Rob shows us Jesus’ authority.

Where is your faith in the midst of life's storms? Are you willing to let Jesus change everything? Will you testify to others about what He has done in your life? 2025-03-0152 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:19-21Luke 8:19-21 - This week, we explore what it means to be part of the Kingdom family of God.

He emphasizes that salvation is not just about belief but also about transformation.

The passage emphasizes themes of repentance, forgiveness, and extravagant love for Jesus. The woman’s act of devotion contrasts with the Pharisee's lack of honor, highlighting how those forgiven much love much. Pastor Rob challenges us to reflect on our own love for Jesus and how it is demonstrated through our actions toward Him and others. He encourages believers to recognize the depth of their forgiveness, embrace humility, and extend Christlike love to all, especially the broken and ou...2025-01-2846 minThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Bridge Bible ChurchThe Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 7:1-17Luke 7:1-17 - Pastor Rob explores the miracles of Jesus in Luke 7, highlighting His healing of the centurion's servant and the raising of the widow’s son.
