ARMED part 1 - Jed Hill

July 5, 2026  BE STRONG  Ephesians 1:17-18 (NIV)    I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,    Access God's Power    Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)    Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.    Acknowledge the Battle    Ephesians 6:11-12 (NIV)    Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.    2 Corinthians 2:11 (NIV)    in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.    Satan wants to DISTRACT you  Satan wants to DISCOURAGE you  Satan wants you to be DISCONTENT  Satan wants you DIVIDED  Satan wants to you to DOUBT  Satan wants to DECEIVE you    Advance with Assurance    Ephesians 6:13-14a (NIV)    Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then,    Ephesians 6:18 (NIV)    And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.    Galatians 5:1 (NIV)    It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.    Romans 8:37-39 (NIV)    No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    Philippians 1:3-10 (NIV)    I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.  It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.  And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Trusting Jesus in the Interruption - Michael Crawford

June 28, 2026    An interruption is an invitation    James 1:2 (NIV)    Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,    Romans 12:2 (NIV)    Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.    Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV)    You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.    Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)    Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,    Mark 4:35-41 (NIV)    That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"    Invitation to turn to Jesus    Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)    For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.    Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV)    Lord, I know that people's lives are not their own;  it is not for them to direct their steps.    2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)    But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.    Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)    For to us a child is born,  to us a son is given,  and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.    John 14:27 (NIV)    Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.    Philippians 4:7 (NIV)    And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.    Colossians 3:15 (NIV)    Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.    Invitation to talk to Jesus    2 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV)    But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.    John 16:33 (NIV)    "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."    John 15:18-19 (NIV)    "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.    John 15:2 (NIV)    He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.    Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)    fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.    Proverbs 18:21 (NIV)    The tongue has the power of life and death,  and those who love it will eat its fruit.    Invitation to trust Jesus    Psalms 20:7 (NIV)    Some trust in chariots and some in horses,  but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.    Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)    Trust in the Lord with all your heart  and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him,  and he will make your paths straight.  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Chiseled part 4 - Jed Hill

June 21, 2026  Chiseled by the Spirit    Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)    Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.    Acts 1:8 (NIV)    But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."    Acts 2:1-2 (NKJV)    When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.    Boldness releases God‘s miracles    Acts 2:21 (NIV)    And everyone who calls  on the name of the Lord will be saved.'    Acts 2:41 (NIV)    Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.    Boldness always brings opposition    Acts of the Apostles 4:10 (NLT)    Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead.    Acts of the Apostles 4:13 (NLT)    The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.    Boldness requires Great faith    Acts of the Apostles 4:29 (NLT)    And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.    Acts of the Apostles 4:30 (NLT)    Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."    Acts of the Apostles 4:31 (NLT)    After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.    "Wherever you have a problem, heaven has a plan."    Hebrews 13:5b-6 (NKJV)    For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say:  "The Lord is my helper;  I will not fear.  What can man do to me?"    II Timothy 1:7-8 (NKJV)    For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,    Psalms 27:1 (NKJV)    The Lord is my light and my salvation;  Whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life;  Of whom shall I be afraid?    Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)    For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Chiseled part 3 - Jed Hill

June 14, 2026  Chiseled by Failure    Luke 22:31-34 (NIV)    "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."  But he replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."   Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."    Luke 22:54-62 (NIV)    Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him."  But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said.  A little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them."  "Man, I am not!" Peter replied.  About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean."  Peter replied, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.    Luke 22:33 (NIV)    But he [Simon Peter] replied, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death."    John 21:15 (NIV)    When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"  "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."  Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."    John 21:16 (NIV)    Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"  He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."  Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."    John 21:17 (NIV)    The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"  Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."  Jesus said, "Feed my sheep.      Failure is not final.     Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)    For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.    Hebrews 7:25 (NIV)    Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]

Chiseled part 2 - Scott Mayo

June 7, 2026    Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)    For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.    Chiseled by Correction    Matthew 16:22-23 (NIV)    Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happen to you!"  Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."    God builds people not only through affirmation, but through loving correction.    God's correction is a blessing that leads to abundant life.    Peter gets revelation, but still lacks maturity.    Matthew 16:16 (NIV)    Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."    Jesus corrects Peter's thinking.    Matthew 16:23 (NIV)    Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."    Peter wants Jesus without the cross.    Matthew 16:24 (NIV)    Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.    Matthew 17:1 (NIV)    After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.  ★ Support this podcast ★ [https://bridgechurch.tv/give/]
