In John 8, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world.” Many of us are familiar with this language, yet, the meaning and implications are often lost on us. This week, Pastor Cory unpacks three aspects of light that Jesus brings to bear on our lives. Not only do we experience the light of Christ, but with the Holy Spirit in us, we get to carry his lig…

First John #7 - John warns us to be careful of what we love, because what we love shapes what we do and who we become.Oleh Eric Scott

Like Father, Like SonJohn 5:16-47Jeff HwangOleh Cross Bridge

What must we do to know God? We start by knowing his name. In his own words, Jesus tells us, “I am the Bread of Life.” In John 6, as people ask him for food, he shifts the conversation from a temporal, physical need to eternal, spiritual sustenance. Jesus gives true seekers the way to this eternal bread, and it’s not something that can be bought. C…

First John #6 - John writes to remind his readers of what is true of them in Jesus. As Christians, remembering our identity is one of the most important things we can do in order to live the lives God calls us to live. In this sermon, we look at what is true of God's people, why it is important to remember and steps we can take to help us remember.…

The HarvestJohn 4:27-42Jeff HwangOleh Cross Bridge

Nothing you’re doing for Jesus, big or small, is a waste of time. In John 13, Jesus washed his disciples' feet, including Judas who was moments away from betraying him. Loving and serving like Jesus has nothing to do with whether or not the other person is worthy. For, it was when we were unworthy that Christ loved and served us and made us worthy.…

(Galatians 5)Oleh Les Philip

Obedience can often be thought of as blind compliance, simply following the rules because we’re supposed to follow them. In turn, we can find ourselves almost following God’s commands. But moral obligation is the antithesis of why we follow God in obedience. In Acts 5, we watch as the disciples fill the city with the name and gospel of Jesus. Not b…

First John #5 - We pick up where we left off last week in the book of 1 John to hear about how God wants us to live in His light, not blinded to it. Today we look at the command to love one another. It is an old command that can be found at the very beginning of the Bible. Yet, Jesus reshapes our understanding of this command and, in a way, makes i…

Many of us approach life like some kind of balancing act, like trying to balance out the scales. And we often carry this balancing act into our relationship with God. But there is no place for scales in God’s Kingdom–His grace knocks them down. It is this grace that Paul and Silas extend to a jailer in Acts 16. It is this grace that causes the jail…

First John #4 - What is the proper Christian attitude in the fight against sin? Sin is bad. We can try our best to obey God but no one is perfect. How do we balance trying not to sin with trusting God to forgive us when we do? Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk/Oleh Eric Scott

The End of the BeginningActs 28:17-31Jeff HwangOleh Cross Bridge

The early church was characterized in several ways, not the least of which was by their generosity. These early Christians were mirroring the generosity of Jesus–the one who so loved the world that he gave his life. This week, in Acts 2, we learn how the first century church practiced generosity spiritually, physically, and missionally. Visit bridg…

We’re all leaving a legacy whether we realize it or not. The question is, what kind of legacy do you want to leave? In Acts 20, Paul instills a legacy on the Ephesian elders. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, he left a legacy of service with a life poured out for others. What might it look like to live for the days you won’t see? Listen to this …

First John #2 - John begins his letter with the gospel message. God made it possible for us to truly know Him through Jesus Christ. John’s goal in writing this letter is for fellowship and joy through the gospel. Following Jesus allows us to have fellowship with God, which is the ultimate blessing. But it also means having relationships with other …

In Acts, Jesus entrusts the early church with a mission–to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. That mission is the same for believers today. But with a charge like this, we can often find ourselves asking, “How?” Listen to this week’s sermon on living as everyday missionaries and bringing the gospel to every table. To support this ministry a…

The road to Emmaus is the gap between crushed expectations and deep longing. In Luke 24, we find two men walking this very road, and they find a stranger walking with them–or so they think. A stranger who listens to their pain and walks alongside them in their grief. Just when they thought it was over, the resurrected Christ was in their very midst…

Jesus the Messiah #7 - Jesus is alive. The tomb is empty. Whether you believe that’s true or not, it requires a response. We see three responses in Matthew 28. If you believe Jesus is alive, don’t be afraid. If you don’t believe Jesus is alive, explain why the tomb is empty. If you do believe that Jesus is alive, share the good news. Learn more abo…

Prior to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, the cross was a symbol of terror and intimidation. So, on this Good Friday, as we remember the excruciating death of Jesus, how can we call today good? Because death did not have the final say. Listen to this Good Friday sermon on how we linger in the ache because there is no resurrection without…

What does the King do when he comes to town? Well, Jesus kicked off Holy Week with a destructive miracle followed by flipping temple tables. God’s house had become a place of exclusion and presumption which is the antithesis of God’s kingdom. While cursing an unassuming fig tree and driving people out of the temple may seem strange, Jesus wasn’t an…

Jesus the Messiah #6 - In this sermon, we will think about why Jesus chooses to endure suffering and death. In this last week of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we see that Jesus was willing to endure humiliation and a painful death because of His great love. Jesus loves you. He was willing to die on the cross so that He can have a relatio…

There are few words more powerful to hear than this – “the body of Christ broken for you, the blood of Christ shed for you.” In this message, Pastor Ian explains the meaning and significance of communion. It reaches into the history of God and His people, reminds us of its significance in the present, and points to the future hope we have in Jesus.…

Jesus the Messiah #5 - We have strong ideas about power, what it looks like and how to get it. People living in the time of Jesus also had ideas of what power looked like. Jesus does not match up to either of these ideas of power. In this passage, we see an example of Jesus’ power and how it subverts our idea of power. During the season of Lent, as…

Jesus meets Peter for breakfast. But for Jesus, a meal is never just a meal. He is not content just to feed us physically. Peter denied Jesus three times, but in John 21, we see Jesus love and restore Peter. Yes, Jesus, loves us, and he also restores us. What shame are you carrying around? Listen to this week’s sermon on how Jesus restores our iden…

Jesus the Messiah #4 - In this teaching, Jesus warns us that everyone will face the reality of final judgement and will either be with Jesus or against Jesus. But Jesus doesn’t want us to wait until the last moment to decide. He tells those listening that He cares about what we do with what we have today. During the season of Lent, as we prepare to…

Miracles often happen on the other side of ordinary obedience. In John 2, Jesus performed his first miracle at a party. He took dirty water and turned it into wine—and he did it through the hands of servants. This means he can take whatever you’ve got too. Listen to this week’s sermon on how God wants to bring hope and healing through your hands. T…

Jesus the Messiah #3 - This week we look at the well-known parable Jesus tells of two builders at the end of his Sermon on the Mount. Jesus uses this story to teach those listening that they now have a choice: to walk away unchanged or to follow Jesus and his teaching. During the season of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we will see how Je…

Jesus chose to eat with a man who repressed God’s chosen people by stealing their wellbeing and subjecting them to poverty. Blessed are the poor in spirit. There was no one more impoverished than Zaccheus. He was a hated and rejected man. Yet, Jesus saw him, called him by name, and shared a meal with him. The gospel is for everyone. The ministry of…

Jesus the Messiah #2 - This week we see Jesus begin his public ministry by calling his first disciples. What was so special about Jesus that people were willing to leave everything they knew behind to follow him? During the season of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we will see how Jesus fulfills God’s promises to send a rescuer. This week,…

Take a second to imagine the most important person in your life. If they had been far off or absent for some time, and each day and night, you had watched and waited for them to come home… how would that day feel when they finally returned? This is the way the Father feels for you. He is filled with compassion, and he waits for every one of his chi…
