messages
At Bridges we value and rely on the Word of God. Therefore, each Sunday we seek to bring a message that is Biblical, focuses on the text of Scripture, and relevant to our daily lives. Ultimately, we want to preach the word in such a way that those who listen with open hearts are "equipped for every good work."
Bible reading plan
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:105)
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
