Chasing Carrots: Money and Stuff
We all want “the good life,” and we chase it through things like more money, a better relationship, and being liked. All of us are chasing something. The question is - do we know what we are chasing and why? If you’re always hungry for the next big thing, but frustrated because it never seems to...
-
Extraordinary Love
What I most love about God is the character trait that I least desire in my own life. He loves His enemies. I like loving my friends, but loving those who love me isn’t virtuous, it’s just smart because it benefits me. Jesus didn’t die just to make stupid people smart, He died to make bad people...
-
Extraordinary Success
How do you live your best life now? How can we have a successful life? Jesus tells us in Luke 6 that the keys to success are poverty, hunger, weeping, and being cursed, mocked and hated. What is that all about? Did Jesus wake up on the wrong side of bed that day? Many of the things Jesus says…

Extraordinary Religion
Ordinary religion operates like a club: Following the rules is what gets you in and keeps you in. Jesus’ relationship with the rules kills the ordinary religious scorecard. Instead of a club, God created a family. Keeping the rules didn’t get you into your family, nor does it kick you out.…

Extraordinary Church
Children dream of slaying dragons or befriending them. But somewhere in the journey to adulthood, we scale back our visions for greatness and settle for an ordinary life... and then, boring mediocrity. But the Creator of this Universe didn’t make you to be ordinary. Jesus didn’t die on the cross…

Vision 2026 - Evangelism
Before He left, Jesus gave His church a single, unmistakable command: make disciples. It's easy to let good things — programs, groups, routines — quietly become the point, when they were only ever meant to fuel the real mission. This year, we're refusing to be busy without being on assignment…

Esther: Legacy- Passing Down the Victory
At the end of Esther 7 everything seems fixed, but there are three chapters left! A new law had to be written, preparations made and then the Jews had to unite and fight for their survival. God’s deliverance still required obedience. But even after that, it wasn’t over. The last phase of God’s...
-
Esther: Reversed- God Turns the Tables
It is the plot of endless stories, because we never tire of it. The situation is dark. All hope is lost... but then out of some impossible scenario, the hero shows up and wins the day. The tables are turned. That is the story of Esther 6-7. But how did it happen? Eventually, God always wins. But...
-
Esther: Courage- Risking it All
In our modern age of fear and anxiety we desperately need to have the courage of Esther. How was she able to confront the two most powerful men in the largest empire on earth – alone!? Esther 4-5 reveals four secrets to great courage that will embolden you to overcome the fears in your life…

Esther: When Evil Seems to Win
What do you do when it seems like God doesn’t show up and evil is winning? Don’t mistake God’s silence for His absence. Like Esther we must trust and obey God even when everything seems hopeless. Evil often takes the lead, but God’s side succeeds. Passage: Esther 2:19–3:15 Speaker: Kevin Ozolins
-
Esther: When God’s Plan Doesn’t Make Sense
God’s name is never mentioned in Esther, but His fingerprints are all over every unexpected twist and turn. Join us as we discover how God works to bring about an amazing story of courage, justice, purpose and hope through quiet coincidences, not obvious miracles. Esther’s story reflects our own:...
-
The Perfect Storm: Beyond the First Step
They say the hardest part of a journey is the first step, and that may be true. But the next hardest part is the next step. The first step onto the water for Peter must have been terrifying, but it’s when he notices the wind that he begins to sink. Peter’s first step of faith was strong, but we...
-
The Perfect Storm: Tell Me
Instead of merely being content to wait for Jesus to come to him, Peter asked Jesus to give him the power to walk on water toward Jesus. Peter didn’t know how it would turn out, but he trusted that Jesus could do what seemed impossible. He didn’t wait for an explanation - Peter asked for an...
-
The Perfect Storm: Recognizing Jesus in the Storm
When Jesus came walking to them on the water, the disciples recognized Him. Whether it was what He said, the sound of His voice, or His presence alone, they knew immediately that they could trust this man walking on water to them. Yet we have so many voices, thoughts, and ideas swirling in our...
-
The Perfect Storm: When Jesus Feels Far Away
Series Description: What do you do when you find yourself in the middle of a storm you never signed up for? A marriage that’s fallen apart, another job that fell through, nights and storms that seem like they’ll never end - and your kids are caught up in the middle of the crossfire. It can feel...
-
Father’s Day: Back to the Future
As fathers, we often focus on directions and rules for our kids, but what if we could also learn to be their greatest encouragers? What kind of legacy could we leave for our kids if we became their #1 encourager? Passage: Psalm 78:4-7, Psalm 127:3-5, Ephesians 6:4 Speaker: Kurt Goglin
-
Your Move: Community
Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident, and it was never meant to happen alone. While many people desire to grow in their relationship with Jesus, that pursuit often gets redirected by the pressures and pace of life. In Hebrews 10, we see that God’s design for growth is shared pursuit…
more -
Your Move: Serving
God has uniquely gifted every follower of Jesus, not randomly, but on purpose, to serve others and make a difference. In 1 Peter 4:10–11, we see that these gifts come in many forms, but all are meant to be used, not just held. When we step in and serve, relying on God’s strength and pointing to…
more -
Your Move: Worship
Worship is our response to who God is and what He has done. This message invites people to step into God’s presence and respond— not as a performance to observe, but as a response to participate in. As we understand who we are worshiping, we are freed to respond authentically and to carry that...
-
Your Move: Giving Part 2
This message moves beyond the act of giving to the formation of the heart, showing that generosity is not driven by obligation but by the grace of God. As we recognize that God is the one who provides and shapes a harvest of generosity in us, giving becomes a joyful response rather than a…
more -
Your Move: Giving Part 1
Following Jesus always leads us forward. There’s always a next step. But growth doesn’t happen when we just understand something, it happens when we step into something. In this series, we’re exploring what it looks like to take intentional steps forward in practicing the values that shape us…
more -
Mother’s Day: Lunchboxes and Legacies
Today, we’re celebrating how God uses moms and women to shape faith in ways that last far beyond what we can see. In the story of Lois, Eunice, and Timothy, we’re reminded that faith is usually passed on through everyday life—through prayers, conversations, reading the Bible, and simply showing…
more -
Life 2.0: Our Future Hope
This message centers on the reality that while following Jesus brings new life, it doesn’t remove life’s hardships, but it does change how we carry them. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4 and 1 Thessalonians 4, it shows that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our hope: because He rose, our...
-
Life 2.0: Living Differently
Because of Jesus’ resurrection, we are not invited to simply improve our old way of living, but to live a completely new life that often runs counter to our natural instincts. In Philippians 2, Paul shows that this new life flows from what we’ve already received in Christ and is modeled by Jesus...
-
Life 2.0: New Life in The Spirit
Week 3 of Life 2.0 answers the question: How do we live the new life Jesus gives us? While many people try to follow Jesus through sheer willpower, the Christian life was never meant to be lived that way. Through resurrection, God gives believers His Holy Spirit, whose power raised Jesus from the...
-
Life 2.0: New Life in Christ
Many people think Christianity is about becoming a better version of themselves, but the resurrection offers something far greater than self-improvement. In Romans 6 and Colossians 3, Paul explains that when we trust Jesus, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection: the old life defined...
-
Life 2.0: Easter
Life 2.0 isn’t about an upgraded or better version of the old life. It’s about a brand-new life made possible by the resurrection of Jesus. When we make Jesus our Forgiver and Leader, we’re not invited into self- improvement, we’re invited into resurrection. The old life is laid down, and a new...
-
Who Are You: God’s Servant
Everyone spends their life serving someone or something. Over 3,000 years ago Joshua asks Israel a question that is still relevant today. Who will you serve? Our gods today are not of wood and metal, they are things like popularity, achievement, pleasure and safety. But there is only one who is...
-
Who Are You: God’s Friend
God describes our relationship with Him in many ways like servant or child. But perhaps the most gracious and undeserved title he bestows is friend. If you have made Jesus your forgiver and leader, you are God’s friend. That friendship means the love, knowledge, joy, purpose and generosity of the...
-
Who Are You: God’s Child
Many people define themselves by their careers, relationships, appearance, or abilities, but these aspects of identity are fundamentally unstable because they can change or be lost. Real identity is not determined by what we do or what others say about us. The Bible teaches that our true identity...
-
DIY: The Process of Change
The Bible is a rather large and at times confusing book - so how am I supposed to understand it? How can I build a habit of being in the Bible consistently? This week in DIY, we focus on HOW to study the Bible. We will give a step-by-step guide to follow to read and ask questions of God’s Word so...
-
DIY: The Power to Change
Research has shown that personal Bible reading is the most powerful discipline for spiritual growth - and yet many of us struggle to make it happen consistently or to get much from it if we do. If you want real, lasting change in your life, join us as we discover the power of DIY - reading the...
-
PG (Parental Guidance): Daily Decisions, Lifelong Impact
Parenting isn’t about instant results—it’s about faithful consistency. In Galatians 6, Paul reminds us that we always reap what we sow. The seeds we plant in our homes today—through prayer, encouragement, discipline, and love—will one day grow into a spiritual harvest in our children’s lives....
-
The PG Podcast: Parenting & Consistency
Parenting isn’t about instant results—it’s about faithful consistency. In Week 3 of the PG Podcast, Josh and Kristin Jones go deeper into Sunday’s message, Daily Decisions, Lifelong Impact, answering real questions about what it looks like to stay steady when progress feels slow. From…
more -
PG (Parental Guidance): Fighting Fair, Leading Well
Every family faces conflict—but not every family handles it well. In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that the goal isn’t avoiding conflict; it’s honoring God through it. Healthy homes are built when parents speak truth with love, control their emotions instead of being controlled by them, and lead...
-
The PG Podcast: Parenting & Conflict
Conflict is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be destructive. In Week 2 of the PG Podcast, Josh and Kristin Jones go deeper into Sunday’s message, Fighting Fair, Leading Well, and answer real questions about handling conflict in a way that honors God and strengthens relationships. They talk about...
-
PG (Parental Guidance): Building the Heart Before the House
Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. In this 3-week series, we’ll explore God’s blueprint for shaping the next generation by focusing on what matters most: who we and our kids are becoming. From building character that lasts, to handling conflict with grace, to staying…
more -
The PG Podcast: Character & Parenting
In this episode of the PG Podcast, Josh and Kristin Jones continue the conversation from Sunday’s message, Building the Heart Before the House, focusing on the role of character in parenting at every stage. They answer real questions about modeling what we expect from our kids, creating simple...
-
Goals 2026
The harvest is great, and Jesus is still sending His people. As Bridgewater steps into a new ministry year, this vision message calls us to lift our eyes and see the mission field all around us—our neighborhoods, schools, and communities. Rooted in Jesus’ words and the Great Commission, we’re...
-
Soundtracks: Repeat the Right Soundtracks
What we repeat shapes who we become. Just like songs that get stuck in our heads, the thoughts we replay in our minds shape our beliefs, decisions, and direction. In this final week of the Soundtracks series, we look at Joshua 1 and see how God intentionally repeats truth to Joshua as he steps…
more -
Soundtracks: Borrowed Soundtracks
All of us hit moments when our faith feels weak, when our courage dips and our spiritual soundtrack grows quiet. In those moments, God strengthens us through the people around us, like Timothy borrowed faith from. Paul and the paralytic borrowed strength from his friends, reminding us that when...
-
Soundtracks: Broken Soundtracks
In this message, we’re learning how to replace the broken soundtracks in our minds, the lies we hear on repeat, with God’s truth. Every temptation Jesus faced in the wilderness was a lie wrapped in a shortcut: a shortcut to God’s timing, God’s plan, or God’s purpose. Instead of taking the easy…
more -
Soundtracks: What’s on Repeat?
We all live with soundtracks, those thoughts that play on repeat in our minds and shape the way we live. Too often, those soundtracks are filled with worry, lies, or fear. But God invites us to retire those broken soundtracks, replace them with His truth, and repeat His promises until they…
more -
Up To Something
Life doesn’t always make sense—plans change, disruptions come, and seasons feel uncertain. This message reminds us that what looks like chaos from our perspective is often God’s careful orchestration, just as we see throughout the Christmas story. Even when we can’t see it, God is at work,...
-
The Way in a Manger: The Way of Love
Love doesn’t win championships, build corporate empires, or conquer armies – strength, strategy, fear and influence seem far more powerful. But what if love was actually greater than them all? What if love wasn’t just a virtue, but a person born in a manger? This Christmas, we remember the day…
more -
The Way in a Manger: The Only Way
Christmas celebrates more than a birth. It celebrates the arrival of The Way: the only way to God. This may sound exclusive, but it is just the opposite. We are rescued from eternal death not by a religion or rulebook but by a person. Christmas isn’t just about a birth, it’s about an invitation...
-
The Way in a Manger: Prepare the Way
How do you get ready for Christmas? It’s not by completing your shopping list, filling your schedule with events or even driving out to see family. You get ready for Christmas by getting ready for Jesus. Let’s learn from a man who spent his entire life preparing the way. Passage: Luke 3:2-16...
-
The Way in a Manger: The Wrong Way
We often talk about our lives using directional terms. “I lost my way... I went the wrong way... I turned my life around.” The Bible uses the same kind of language. But what if “the way” we need to go is more than a direction? Join us this Christmas season as we remember what Christmas is all...
-
Flip the Script: You
You’ve heard the stories of how God has moved in other people’s lives. Now what are you going to do about it? Jesus didn’t come just for you to think that He’s a good person; He came and died so that you could live. He didn’t just come to change your Sunday morning, but to change your entire…
more -
Flip the Script: Paul
Paul went from being “eager to kill the Lord’s followers” to perhaps being the greatest ambassador for Christ who has ever lived. It all started with an interruption of his routine; a challenge to everything that he knew and held dear. Without Jesus interrupting Paul’s status quo, Paul would have...
