En este episodio exploramos uno de los conceptos más fundamentales de la vida cristiana: la unión con Cristo. A través de la analogía de la vid y los sarmientos en Juan 15, descubrimos cómo nuestra conexión con Jesús es la fuente de toda vida espiritual. Analizamos cómo esta unión no solo nos capacita para dar fruto, sino que también nos llama a glorificar a Dios en todo lo que hacemos. A lo largo de este episodio, profundizamos en la importancia de permanecer en Cristo, en la producción de fruto como evidencia de nuestra fe, y en cómo esta relación transforma nuestra vida diaria. Si deseas entender cómo vivir una vida transformada por Cristo y dar gloria a Dios, este episodio es para ti. ¡Acompáñanos y descubre el poder de estar unidos a la vid verdadera!

En este episodio exploramos el principio regulador de la adoración, un tema fundamental para entender cómo debemos acercarnos a Dios según Su voluntad revelada en la Escritura. Descubre el fundamento bíblico de una adoración ordenada por Dios, la relevancia histórica de este principio, y cómo se mantiene vigente en la Iglesia hoy. También abordamos objeciones comunes y cómo refutarlas de manera bíblica y pastoral. Finalizamos con aplicaciones prácticas que nos ayudan a evaluar nuestro culto y vivir una adoración que exalta a Cristo y edifica Su Iglesia.

En este episodio, exploramos el fascinante relato de Génesis 4 sobre Caín y Abel para descubrir qué significa ofrecer una adoración aceptable a Dios. Reflexionamos sobre la fe, la obediencia y la importancia de acercarnos a Dios según Sus términos, no los nuestros. ¿Qué nos enseña esta historia sobre la centralidad de la adoración en nuestras vidas? ¿Cómo podemos adorar a Dios de manera que le agrade? Únete a nosotros para profundizar en estos temas y ser desafiados a vivir en fidelidad a la Palabra de Dios.

In this episode, Bridge Radio interviews Jon Degler and Mitchell Leach, two pastors of Peace Church in Middleville, Michigan.

They want to see the gospel of Jesus resound across the world and the generations. The focus of this discussion deals with the mission of the church.

We're obsessed with bigness. Supersized meals and TV screens. Square footage. And big churches. "What's the size of your church?" That question has stirred insecurities or stroked the ego of too many pastors. For a long time, we thought bigger was better. "Church growth" and "numbers" dominated our thoughts and conversations. But more than ever, people are feeling disconnected. Trust in the church is dwindling. In De-sizing the Church, pastor Karl Vaters takes us on a multi-faceted journey through our centuries-long obsession with size, both in and outside the church, and how it has negatively affected those who serve and worship in big and small congregations alike.  He also dispels some prevailing myths and affirms what was good and true about the Church Growth Movement. And he invites us to consider how removing church size from the equation can be an essential element in rebuilding trust, restoring relationships, and renewing our spiritual lives. This book reframes the way we see the size of our church

In this episode, we dive into the heart of a transformative narrative with author and pastor Vermon Pierre, exploring the profound concept that our relationship with God mirrors a marriage. "Dearly Beloved" is more than a book; it's a journey through the Bible that reveals the depth of God's love for us and how it can shape our relationships with each other. Vermon Pierre guides us through this celestial love story, showcasing how this divine affection can lead us to love more fully - with our words, delight, presence, and through every difficulty. In a world marked by increasing isolation and disunity, "Dearly Beloved" emerges as a beacon of hope, offering insights on how to counteract loneliness and fragmentation by embracing God's love. This episode promises to unravel the essence of being God's beloved and how this understanding can foster a tighter-knit community within the church, pave the way for genuine fellowship, and deepen our devotion to Jesus.

Where is God when it hurts? What do I do when I struggle with anxiety, depression, discouragement, fear, and face suffering? Many Christians ask these questions in a desire to grow in their communion with the Lord. Some struggle to know whether they should even ask these questions. Others struggle even more through these questions with great doubts that impact their daily walk with the Lord. How do we grow in the grace of God amidst the daily grind of life? How do we not only practically but biblically grow in contentment? In a personal and yet accessible way Dave in his latest book, Contentment: The Journey of A Lifetime takes readers on a personal journey of discovering contentment as defined in Scripture. Masterfully incorporating the Church’s rich teaching and literature on contentment, he provides very practical help for readers, equipping them in their efforts to gain contentment in their own lives.
