Part 5: The Promise of Fearlessness
February 5, 2023 • Ryan Oddo • Psalm 111, Psalm 112
Ironically, true fearless living begins with a Biblical fear of the Lord. Without that, we can end up with a watered-down, narcissistic version of Christianity that falls apart when confronted with the challenges of life. But I life that reveres God, that sees His grandeur and looks on it with awe and wonder is one that can truly be Fearless.
Part 2: Psalm 145: 8-21
June 26, 2022 • Mike Foell • Psalm 145:8–21
Pastor Mike has been an integral, influential, and infectious leader in the community of The Bridge since The Bridge and Mission Hills Community Church merged. He's been impactful at the property the church resides for even longer, not only as a pastor, but as a teacher, counselor, and mentor. Before addressing the content of this teaching we say thank you Pastor Mike. Happy "refirement"! We look at the larger of body of Psalm 145 and examine how the psalmists points us to the greatness of God. Not only His greatness, but His glory, goodness, generosity, and His grace. As verse 8 points out, we worship a God who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

How great is our God? Pastor Mike delivers his penultimate message before retirement in which he begins a two-part survey of Psalm 145.

Part 4: Promise
January 30, 2022 • Ryan Oddo • Psalm 23:6
We live as exiles on earth because our citizenry is in Heaven. The promise is this: I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Forever basking in the joy, splendor, and magnificence of God. Forever worshiping. Forever receiving and giving love. As followers of Jesus we, like David who wrote those words so long ago, will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. That is our promise and the reality into which we live.
Part 3: Promotion
January 23, 2022 • Ryan Oddo • Psalm 23:5–6
As we continue our series through the 23rd Psalm we see David celebrating the presence of the Lord and the way He seeks to do only good, always. He prepares a full spread before us and welcomes us to enjoy His heavenly presence and grace. Step up to the table and enjoy your Heavenly Father.
Part 2: Protection
January 16, 2022 • Ryan Oddo • Psalm 23:3–4
As the Good Shepherd, Jesus leads us in the path of righteousness that leads to restoration. There are ways that seem right to us, but those, apart from the guidance of the Lord, lead to ruin. Even when we follow the wrong ways though, part of the goodness of God is that He provides a path back and He journeys with us on the road. He is always there to guide and guard our way as we follow Him.
Part 1: Provision
January 9, 2022 • Ryan Oddo • Psalm 23:1–2
What does a life of trust look like? The world around us in madness. Do our lives, as followers of Jesus, reflect our Shepherd's ability to quiet the storms of life? Or do we exude the same panic, coping mechanisms, and rhetoric that anyone without Him would? Pastor Ryan begins a series through Psalm 23 as we choose to look at a loving God and say, "You Are With Me".
