Habakkuk: When God Seems Unfair

This Sunday we launch a three week journey through some unexplored territory of the Old Testament: The book of Habakkuk.

We all carry with us the weights of disappointment and devastation from the events of life we just can’t get our minds around. On what grounds can we trust God when we can’t see how He is working? When we just don’t get it? Where have you taken the pain of your life that you don’t understand? We invite you to come and learn from the gift God has given us in this 3 chapter book in the Old Testament.

May 9: Habakkuk 1

May 16: Habakkuk 2

May 23: Habakkuk 3

April 25th Making the Bible Come Alive: Ken Primrose

This Sunday, April 25th we have the honor of having Ken Primrose speak into the life of our community. He will be bringing a teaching “Making the Bible Come Alive”

Ken planted and leads Norman Community Church in Oklahoma. Norman Community Church (http://normcom.com/) started from ground zero with a vision for a network of missional communities and has seen God do incredible things as they build a discipling culture. Since this is the vision we are getting after, it’s a privilege to learn and grow from others with that D.N.A.

I have asked Ken to speak to us about how we can hear God’s voice. Ken is a gifted prophetic leader and I have personally benefited from his ministry as we have connected through 3D Ministries. God has called the Bridge to shape a culture of encouragement, and I believe a big part of that is learning how to access encouragement in greater ways through the prophetic ministry.

So-come ready to hear and receive from God.

Easter 2010: It’s Time to Come Home!

10:00-11:00am, Sunday April 4th at the Somerset High School.

Ego-Cardiogram

Yesterday we launched a four week series called INFLUENCE: Learning to Lead Like Jesus.

We looked at the heart of Jesus from Mark 6 and landed our time by giving what we called an “egocardiogram”. To check in on the direction of our hearts. Thanks to Ken Blanchard’s Lead Like Jesus book for his thoughts on these two “egos”

A Time for Everything: LENT

For the first time in my life as a follower of Jesus, I’ve decided to join the broader Christian community and practice this season called LENT. I’ve given up coffee for lent. And I’m still alive. I like life sans coffee quite well actually, I may not go back.

Lent, a period of 40 days (not including Sundays) between Ash Wednesday and Easter was originally a period of preparation for those to be baptized at Easter. It later became a time of penitence and self-examination for all Christians. In some ways, it is meant to reflect the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert fasting and resisting temptation prior to His ministry.

By celebrating Lent, we follow Jesus into the wilderness, resist temptation, pray, and proceed “on the way” to Jerusalem, and the cross of Good Friday. The Lenten journey is one of repentance, that is, changing directions from self, self-serving patterns and an myopic focus toward the others-focused way of life of following Jesus. We follow Jesus in laying down ourselves for others and trust that the power of that raised Jesus from the dead is enough to guide us in repentance and renewal. The intervention of God’s gracious Spirit makes life-long changes become possible. Turning from the old self at Lent and experiencing a dying of old ways prepares us to truly experience the joy of Easter.

Lent started on February 17th, so you’re a little late. But because there is freedom in Jesus, I wanted to invite you to consider jumping into this stream of the broader Christian experience. The guide will serve you well. Jump in!
