We come to Christ on our own. But, faith grows best together. Jesus is the bridge that connects us: the bridge that overcomes the world.

Prayer is important to Jesus. It should be to us as well. Jesus is the bridge that allows us to pray directly to God because we belong to him.

When it comes to a bridge, confidence is critical. Confidence and peace go hand-in-hand. Learn how to be confident and at peace in whatever you face.

In our world, love is often self-serving. But, the love of Christ is different. The bridge of faith brings the love of God to an unloving world through us.

Trusting in God is one thing. Living for him is another. You need to be connected to Christ. The bridge of faith connects you to a new way of life.

On the cross, Jesus extended a bridge of grace to the most unlikely and undeserving. That man learned Jesus really was the way before any of his disciples. Today, the same bridge is open for you. Come and see what God can do in you.

— Living in God’s presence is more important than the Promised Land. Moses had a front row seat to some of the most amazing miracles the world would ever see. Through it all he learned a key truth we all need to know. Being in God’s presence is more important than the Promised Land.

— When you get tired of waiting you are tempted to take things into your own hands. Patience is one of the biggest obstacles to faith. God works at his pace to fulfill his purpose. When you get tired of waiting you are tempted to take things into your own hands. Remember that you follow God. He does not follow you.

— When you come to God, it must be on his terms. When God calls us to meet with him we need to prepare our hearts and open our ears. When we do, we learn that God is more serious about his holiness and Word than we think. When you come to God, it must be on his terms.

— Be careful when you decide to go your way after you committed to follow God. God provided for the people of Israel from Egypt to the edge of the Promised Land. Then, their faith failed and doubt took over. Sometimes we go with God to a point and then feel that is far enough. Be careful when you decide to go your way after you committed to follow God.

— God want us to trust he will provide each day and stop worrying about tomorrow. We want to be able to understand how God will provide for us now and in the future. But, faith is always part of God’s purpose. He wants us to trust him to provide each day and stop worrying about tomorrow.

— When God opened the sea for his people to cross it was a one-way trip. There are moments when things change and you know they will never be the same. When God opened the sea for Israel to cross it was a one-way trip. God wants us to have faith to follow him to a new life without turning back.

— The price of forgiveness is high and never comes down. Before we ask for forgiveness, we need to know the price. Sin is a cancer that separates us from God and requires a sacrifice to remove. The price of forgiveness is high and never comes down.

— Learning how great God is grows our faith and brings him glory. We need to know about God’s love, forgiveness, and grace. But, that’s only part of the story. He has the power to do more than we could ask or imagine. Understanding how great God is increases our faith and brings him glory.

— When you don’t want to read God’s Word you probably need it most. When faith is discouraged, you need to focus on God’s promises. But, sometimes the greater the discouragement, the more difficult it is to accept God’s encouragement. When you don’t want to read God’s Word you probably need to the most.

— God may want to save you through the struggle. We tend to have an inner expectation that God will give us success when we decide to follow him. But, sometimes we do right and things seem to go wrong. Those times are tests to prove and grow our faith. God can save us from the struggle. But, he often sustains us through the struggle.

— Let God work through you instead of you working for him. It can be intimidating to learn you are part of God’s purpose when you feel inadequate for the assignment. The key is learning to let God do the work through you. That is part of God’s purpose as well.

— When you think God is done he may be just getting started. Do not mistake God’s patience for absence. He is active and knows every detail about the world and you. But, his timing is different because he is committed to fulfill his purpose. You might think God is done when he is just getting started!

The Bible teaches that when you become a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives in you. He will provide the strength you need and direction you seek. Come and learn what it means to live a Spirit-filled life. Eph.5:18b Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

It takes strength to build a new life. But, at some point our strength to change will fail. Learn how to live in God’s strength instead of yours. It will mean the difference between success and failure Eph. 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

God wants us to grow in knowledge and faith. We are called to live by faith every day. God wants us to know Him and become mature in faith so we can overcome whatever comes our way. Jas.1:4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

In a world of entitlement, gratitude runs against the grain. But God wants us to recognize our need, and realize how much He loves and cares for us. Learn what it means to live a thankful life Col. 3:15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

God calls you to more than just a different life. He wants you to live a holy life in an unholy world. Sin left unchecked erodes the changes you need to make. Change and clean go together. 1 Pet. 1:15-16 – “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”

In a world that worships success, power, money, and fame, contentment may seem like an impossible goal. Yet the Bible tells us it is possible and available. Learn how you can be content. Phil. 4:11 – “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”

We want God to change us yesterday. When the change does not come fast enough we are tempted to stop trusting Him. Come and learn a difficult truth. It takes time to make a new you. Rm. 12:12 – “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

Sometimes you commit to follow God and everything seems to goes wrong. When it does, we need to remember Satan is the enemy. If you want to really change you have to be alert. 1 Pet. 5:8 – “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
