The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.
God doesn’t size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.

There’s almost nothing that gets us praying faster than mayhem. Unfortunately, our prayers in these times are often hijacked by the circumstances surrounding us, and we miss out on what prayer could be. Thankfully, there is a better way to pray. We’ll unpack it in this message.
One of the things we lose when mayhem hits is our vision. We get laser focused on the trouble at hand and lose sight of the bigger picture. But there is a better way to view our mayhem, and the choice is up to us.
Mayhem seldom gives a forewarning of its impending arrival. But even though we may not know when a storm will hit, one of our best defenses is to prepare for it.

Have you ever had an unexpected morning? Two thousand years ago the followers of Jesus woke up on a Sunday morning fully expecting to find Jesus in the tomb. Easter was the last thing they expected. Everything changed on that morning.
Death had the last word because death was the consequence of sin—but not anymore. Jesus, God’s final King, crushed both sin and death and invites us to reign in life through him.
As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.
You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Without clear vision, you’ll drift into coasting, and coasting always takes you downhill.

Before inviting Peter to follow him, Jesus asked Peter to “put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” After a night of fishing with no success and despite his reservations, Peter agreed: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” At some point, every Jesus follower will face their own “because you say so” moment. Like Peter, we won’t know what hangs in the balance or our decision. It’s better to find out than miss out. Ready to engage in Deeper/Wider?

All of us face obstacles to generosity. The common denominator for our obstacles is a desire for more. The apostle Paul taught that true wealth isn't found in accumulation but in contentment. And he shows what it looks like to place our hope not in riches but in God who richly provides.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Everyone has a generosity plan, but most people prioritize spending first and leave giving as an afterthought. Jesus flipped the script on that approach with “Seek ye first” living. Embracing this financial template is a tangible expression of submission to our King.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Jesus redefined generosity—not as spontaneous or sparing, but as intentional and prioritized. His approach ensures we don’t put our trust in riches but in God who richly provides. Choosing to follow his definition of generosity results in greater impact, less worry, more joy, and more peace.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Biblical generosity is informed and fueled by the acknowledgment that God owns it all. We are simply managers. When we adopt that posture, we view everything we “own” as a potential tool to further the agenda of our King. We will give first and adjust our lifestyle accordingly. Christians who adopt this perspective as the organizing principle for their personal finances find it easier to surrender the other components of their life as well. As Jesus made clear, the number one competitor for our devotion to God is our devotion to more. More money and more things.…

Jesus’s kingdom is not advanced by force, but over time through transformed lives. We are invited to participate in its expansion.
The fight of faith is about becoming more like Jesus, not about defeating enemies.
People all over the world claim to be Christian, based on a belief Jesus is the ultimate king. But at times, we can find ourselves living in defiance of the very king we swear allegiance to.
The term "Christ" was originally a royal title meaning "Anointed One" or “King,” not a name. And the message of the Gospel is not just about personal salvation, but about aligning with the reign of Jesus as King.
If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom is good news for all people.
Just as the apostle Paul wrote to the Jesus followers in Ephesus, you were made for something more than yourself. You are God’s workmanship, and you’ve got something to offer God’s Kingdom.
As we wrap up this year, we wanted to revisit a message from a few months ago that is important to the life of Browns Bridge. It’s amazing what a simple invitation can do. It can lead to extraordinary things. This week we’ll look at an invitation that changed someone’s life in the first century and has the power to change someone’s life today as well.…

The lineage of Jesus is full of people with stories that would make anyone blush, including the likes of King David and Lot’s daughters. But in spite of jaw-dropping choices people made, God’s purposes marched forward.
B

Rahab is one of a few people in the lineage of Jesus that wasn’t Jewish — she was a Canaanite. Not to mention, she was a prostitute. But neither of those things kept her from being used by God in an incredible way.
B
Browns Bridge Church

The story of Judah and Tamar is probably not one we would have mentioned if we were the ones telling the back story of Jesus’s ancestors. However, many times God’s story highlights the unlikely and the undeserving.
We naturally talk to people about things we enjoy, making invitations easy. But when faith feels like a struggle, we’re less likely to invite others into it. So how do we keep the joy in faith so that we extend invitations to those who need them?
The invitation to follow Jesus ultimately leads to inviting others to follow him as well. But how do we make a good invitation? What makes an invitation good? This message looks at one thing that should precede our invitations to others.

While we can't predict when miracles happen, there is a posture we can take that increases the chances of God doing a supernatural work within us.
Our circumstances don’t define how God feels about us. So how do we navigate those circumstances when we don’t get the miracle?
Miracles are at God’s discretion to further God’s purposes.
The miracle of the universe is the foundation of our faith in God, but a different miracle is the foundation of our faith in Jesus.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Serving people with different lived experiences is one of the primary things God uses to fine-tune our worldview.
We live in a world where we believe we can handle anything—until we can’t. And it’s often in those moments we begin to wonder: "Who can I truly depend on? Who will walk with me through life? Am I alone?" The answers to those questions are the reason we believe Jesus is worth following.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Life is filled with unexpected moments that surprise us, evoke fear, and lead us to wonder, Is God worth following?
Have you ever heard someone say, “Follow Jesus and everything will be great.” It sounds good, but it’s not exactly true. This week we’ll look at how God leads us to what we need, even though it may not look like it to begin with.

Since 2007, our Be Rich campaign has been making the world an even better place. After all, devotion to God is best demonstrated and authenticated through love for others.
We must take responsibility for the me nobody can see.
Our choices today will leave our loved ones with one of two things in the future: a burden or a blessing.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Sometimes we have to go back to move forward.
Your irresponsibility will eventually become somebody else's responsibility.
B
Browns Bridge Church

We are far more likely to develop meaningful faith when people of faith surround us.
Have you seen anyone lately who seems to have it better than you? A better job, car, or life? It can be easy to size up our lives by what we see in somebody else’s, but it’s a lose/lose game every time. In this message, we look at the remedy for the comparison game.
B
Browns Bridge Church

There is no shortage of blame being tossed around these days. From the traffic to the economy, everyone seems to quickly know who’s at fault. Unfortunately, when we play the blame game we miss out on a better way of life modeled to us through Jesus.

Most estimates say that humans speak about 16,000 words a day. While some words we speak have little to no effect, there are games we play with our words that can have a big impact—and not in the way we desire. In this message we explore how to avoid playing these word games and how to make the most—and best—of our conversations.…

A game that requires a loser is a game nobody wins.
We can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally.
Following the script of Jesus doesn’t mean all men will be the same. But it does mean we’ll be better men.
Somebody may have defined masculinity for you, but how will you define it for yourself?
B
Browns Bridge Church

What could our world look like if we chose restoration instead of condemnation?
We believe following Jesus makes your life better and makes you better at life, and we want our local church to inspire people to follow him. In this message, Andy Stanley talks about how and why we do church the way we do.
It’s tough enough to be a faithful follower of Jesus under normal circumstances, and nearly impossible when someone around you has given you a big reason not to be. But help is available to us.
We often use the word “good,” and it can mean a number of different things. In this message, we’ll look at the true definition of goodness—something our world definitely needs now.
What does kindness look like, act like, and react like?
Patience is the courage to wait, inspired by faith that God is going to move.
Jesus never said life would be easy, but he did promise us a path that leads to peace.
Our world could use a little joy. Everyone pursues it in their own way, but there is still something lacking. On the last night before his death, Jesus introduced a different way to experience joy.
The Holy Spirit was given to us not so we could be more spiritual, but so we could become more mature.

Despite Jesus predicting it multiple times, eyewitnesses were shocked to learn God had raised Jesus from the dead. And what God did for Jesus, he can do for you.

It’s easy to believe the greatest enemy of the church comes from outside the church. Unfortunately, the church’s greatest threat is right in the middle of it.

The message of the church is a message for the world.

Early Christians were bold, confident, and courageous. How we pray is an indicator if we’ve strayed from that.

Provide for the next generation what you wish the previous generation had provided for you.

When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Being part of a local gathering of Jesus followers means you are part of something big. It’s up to each generation to determine what Christianity looks like, sounds like, and reacts like.
There’s no shortage of desire in our lives. Most are innocent. Some are even good and noble. Others can stop us from living out God’s best. In this message, you'll learn what to do with the desires that are stopping you.
B
Browns Bridge Church

Our brains have an amazing ability to create a narrative around things in our lives. Unfortunately, when that narrative is untrue it causes us to be in denial. And denial will always deny us of something. In this message, we’ll try and stop denial before it stops us.
B
Browns Bridge Church

We believe following Jesus makes your life better and makes you better at life, and we want our local church to inspire people to follow him. In this message, Andy Stanley talks about how and why we do church the way we do.
In all its subtle forms, greed has the potential to rob your life. But the secret to living a meaning-filled life is found across the border from what’s in it for me.
B
Browns Bridge Church

If the only things that concern you are about you, there is work to do. Ultimately, we save ourselves from ourselves by choosing not to be all about ourselves.

If something about the world is broken and it breaks your heart, there’s an opportunity to be a part of fixing it.

As we look forward to 2024, let’s look back at one of our favorite and most helpful messages. We’re all busy. And most of us would say we’re busy with good things. But if we’re not careful, our busy lives can become hurried lives. When that happens, we suffer and the people around us often get our worst. This week we’ll start learning how to slow down and resist the temptation to hurry.…

This season is all about gifts. It’s one of the things that makes people love this time of year. But sometimes the main thing gets lost in the midst of all the gifts. In this message we highlight the gift of Christmas.
