The Bridge
The Bridge exists to help people get to their other side. From lost to found, broken to whole, anger to love, addicted to set free. We are one Church with multiple locations. This is the podcast of our main campus in Mustang, OK under the leadership of Pastor Rob McClure.
The phrase, ‘God is love,’ explains eternity...He wants us to be with Him forever. Our goal here on earth should be prioritizing our relationship with Jesus so that one day we can “Go Home,” to be with him. Understanding that invitation, recentering our mindset, establishing our priorities are all part of how we can make this happen. All while bringing others along with us.

We’ve heard it said before that, ‘Christianity isn’t about rules, it’s about relationship.’ While true, we can’t ignore that out of God’s grace, He has provided a set of rules to show us how to live within those relationships. Rather than threatening those relationships, rules actually enable them. Grab on to these, ‘words to live by,’ and discover the beauty, encouragement and joy found in them. After all, to obey the law is to look like Jesus.

Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy

Exodus 20:4-6
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

In genetics, our distinguishable characteristics are a result of our parents, or “our roots". Life in Christ is the same. Growing, standing strong under pressure, embracing Godly values, discerning right from wrong and producing good fruit all are possible because of our roots in Christ.

Life is a journey that takes us through various seasons and places, each offering its own unique experiences. While circumstances often play a significant role in shaping our lives, we have the power to choose our attitude and response to them.
When we commit our lives to Christ, we are redeemed and set free from our past bondage. From that point on the goal should be to use our freedom to help set others free, and advance God’s mission of seeking and saving the lost.
As Christians we are required to do our best with what God has given us, and where He has placed us. This does not mean that we are expected to do everything perfectly, but instead act in such a way that creates an environment for people to choose God.
Learning to discern and follow the voice of God is a journey. There are three practical things we can do to grow in this area. It starts with creating an atmosphere to hear God's voice. Then we must develop the confidence to know when God speaks to us, and finally, we must have the courage to obey God's direction.
When our presence brings the presence of God in a situation, it is a gift to those around us. Even if we may not feel it, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. This is made possible though who we are in Christ.
God is a perfect judge. Even though He is filled with unfailing love and mercy, He does not excuse the guilty. Thankfully, God has made a way for us to be free from this condemnation through Jesus Christ.
When we do not recognize God as The Authority over our lives, it can impact the way we hold ourselves responsible. We have all walked through moments where we try to step outside of God's authority, and find ourselves realizing how much we truly need authority in our lives.
God paints the perfect picture of a good Father. This is seen through the way He protects us by setting guidelines in our lives, how He supplies us with what we need, and more. Even if we didn't have the best example of what a good Father is here on earth, we can still find what we need in God our Heavenly Father.
God seeks relationship, fellowship, and companionship with us. Contrary to what we may feel at times, God is near to us and always makes Himself available. God's pursuit for us can easily be seen all throughout scripture, but the greatest example of God's pursuit for us is Jesus.
Do you know God as The Planner? Since the beginning of time God has had a plan for our lives. His thoughts are greater than ours, so we may often find that His plan for our lives different that what we have in mind. However, once we trust His plan, it gives us the ability to see the big picture of life.
God the Creator is the first sermon to our series "The Unknown God." Knowing God as the creator is essential in having a relationship with Him, because it helps us put our trust in someone other than ourselves.
