Asking For a Friend: Should I Watch This?

Have you ever been watching a show or movie and it was all well and good and then suddenly it kind of takes a turn and you’re getting a little uncomfortable with it? All of a sudden, it’s not a movie you want to watch if your mom is in the room. Somewhere along the way, follower of Jesus or not, you might have asked the same question our friend asked: Should I watch this?

Asking For a Friend: Does God have an answer for my addiction?

Did you know that overdose is the leading cause of death for people under 50? More than heart disease, cancer, and homicide. Does God have an answer for those struggling to find freedom from addictions and substance abuse? Join us as we tackle a very relevant topic for our communities.

Asking For a Friend: You do know that my anger is not my fault, right?

Anger is one of those things that is easy to spot in someone else, but can be harder to identify in our own lives. We can so easily blame-shift our anger to make it someone else’s fault: we did that thing or said those words or reacted that way. How do we break free from the vicious cycle of anger?

Asking for a Friend: Can You Follow God and Still Have Doubts?

Maybe you feel like you’re the only one? Or you worry, “If I ask, what will they think of me?
When you doubt you can feel like a spiritual failure or have gone apostate and fear being judged. But we want you to know this is a safe place to ask hard questions. God isn’t scared of your doubts and neither are we.

Asking for a Friend: When does God give up on you?

 In this series, we are going to bring up the issues we all deal with that don’t often get dealt with. 

 

Today’s question:

Asking for a friend, when does God give up on you? Like how bad is too bad for God? Is there some sin or something we could do that God would never want us?

Vision: What to do when things get tough

We have gone over 4 of our 5 values and the vision/mission for Bridgewater Church. Each week, as people have had the opportunity to respond to God’s word, next steps have been taken— and yet, when we take next steps we have to realize that at times our choices will be unpopular and we may even suffer to some extent. So, what do we do when things get difficult? How should we respond? The natural tendency is to be discouraged and complain. But what if God is actually up to something good!

Vision: Found People Find People

Satan hates it. It may be the most counter-cultural activity you can possibly do. But it’s an essential part of making more and better disciples: Found people, find people.

Vision: Everyone Has a Next Step

No matter where you are in your journey to become like Jesus, everyone has a next step. Sometimes that step is big, other times it’s small. But what many don’t realize is that often your next step isn’t just about you. What if your next step was to help someone else take their next step?

Vision: ”State of the Church”

Jesus has a vision to change the world one life at a time as His followers make more and better disciples of Him. But how do we do that? This series unpacks several Biblical principles (our core values) that result in more & better disciples. These values change lives that will change the world.
