May 24, 2026  Resilient Routines    1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)    Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.    It's impossible to be spiritual without Godly rituals that we routinely practice.    1. Practice Fellowship    Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.  Hebrews 10:23-25 (NIV)    2. Practice the Presence of God    You make known to me the path of life;  you will fill me with joy in your presence,  with eternal pleasures at your right hand.  Psalms 16:11 (NIV)    3. Practice Generosity    Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV)  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

May 17, 2026  Reframe Your Thoughts    1 Samuel 17:41-47 (NIV)    Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. "Come here," he said, "and I'll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!"  David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands."    [at 6:00 a mirror is brought to the pulpit]   Who you talking to?    1 Samuel 17:17 (NIV)    Now Jesse said to his son David, "Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.    Heart of Humility    1 Samuel 17:26 (NIV)    David asked the men standing near him, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"    Vision of Victory    1 Samuel 17:28-29 (NIV)    When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle." "Now what have I done?" said David. "Can't I even speak?"    1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)    But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."    Know your real enemy    1 Samuel 17:30 (NIV)    He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before.    1 Samuel 17:33 (NIV)    Saul replied, "You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth."    1 Samuel 17:38-39 (NIV)    Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.  "I cannot go in these," he said to Saul, "because I am not used to them." So he took them off.    Work your weapon     Psalms 20:7 (NIV)    Some trust in chariots and some in horses,  but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.    1 Samuel 17:40 (NIV)    Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.    1 Samuel 17:42 (NIV)    He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.    Throw the NAME    Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)    Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.    Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)    Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Lost & Found - Jed Hill

May 3, 2026  Lost & Found    Luke 19:10 (NIV)    For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."    Matthew 28:19 (NIV)    Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,    Luke 15:1-2 (NIV)    Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."    Lost like a sheep    Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says,  Luke 15:3-7 (NIV)    Lost like a sheep    ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.  Luke 15:3-7 (NIV)    Lost like a coin    "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'  Luke 15:8-9 (NIV)    Lost like a prodigal // Choice    Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.  Luke 15:11-13 (NIV)    Lost like a prodigal // Consequence    After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.  Luke 15:14-16 (NIV)    Lost like a prodigal // Conscience    "When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.'  Luke 15:17-19 (NIV)    Lost like a prodigal // Compassion    So he got up and went to his father.  "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.  "The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'  "But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.  Luke 15:20-22 (NIV)    Lost like a prodigal // Celebration    Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.  Luke 15:23-24 (NIV)  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Family Ties part 2 - Jed Hill

April 26, 2026 Covenant Love: Strengthening the Marriage Bond    Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV)    "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,' and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."    Every time you believe a lie you empower the liar.    2 Corinthians 4:7 (KJV)    But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.    Lies that weaken marriage:    Lie #1: I Can Change Him/Her    Proverbs 18:22 (NIV)    He who finds a wife finds what is good  and receives favor from the Lord.    Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)    Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:    Lies that weaken marriage:    Lie #2: A good marriage is always 50/50    John 15:12-13 (NIV)    My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.    Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)    Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her    Ephesians 5:33 (NIV)    However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.    A man that loves you will always bring elevation to your value.    A woman who loves you always increases your respect.    Lies that weaken marriage:    Lie #3: Marriage is a contract    Matthew 19:6 (NIV)    So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."    Matthew 19:7-8 (NIV)    "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"  Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.    1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.    Lies that weaken marriage:    Lie #4: There is no hope for my marriage    Matthew 19:26 (NIV)    ...with God all things are possible."    Mark 9:23 (NIV)    ..."Everything is possible for one who believes."  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]
