Jesus’ transfiguration verified his identity as the Son of God. So what does it look like to accept Jesus’ identity? Like his disciples, we must listen to him, no matter the cost. We can take comfort and strength in the pattern that Jesus set for us - suffering now, glory later. Our future glory is secure in Jesus.

The beginning of the book of Malachi is heavy. It can feel like God is trying to make us feel guilty for not being good enough. But that is not what this passage is about at all. The good news is that God loves us deeply. And because of His great love for us, He wants to make us aware of our serious heart issues that keep us from living in right relationship with Him. When we don’t value God like we should, we are in danger of giving God less than our best. Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk
We are all broken sinners but we don’t have to live in guilt and shame. Instead, we can use our past mistakes to glorify God because of Jesus’ saving work on the cross. After dying on the cross to save us from our sins, Jesus continues to intercede and pray for us. So we are set free to be less defensive, to be for others instead of for ourselves, to fail freely, to lay down our accustions, and to intercede for others.

The human tendency is to ask, "where do I belong?" In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul reminds Christians that Jesus broke down the walls that kept us from God - bringing unity and transformation in our hearts. This Sunday kicks off a series of sermons by various speakers and pastors.
Sabbatical #2 - Pastor Eric shares his hopes for himself and for the church during his upcoming sabbatical. Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk
Sabbatical #1 - In Leviticus 25, God calls His people to rhythms of rest, not just as a break from work but as an act of worship and trust in Him. The Sabbath year gave rest to the land, provided for the poor, built community, and reminded Israel of their dependence on God. Sabbaticals help replenish us spiritually and guard against burnout. We must remember that rest isn’t wasted time—it’s God’s gift, shaping us spiritually and reminding us to rely on His provision.

Seven Signs #7 - This passage describes the moment when the risen Jesus appears to His disciples, bringing them peace and reassurance. He shows them His wounds to confirm His identity, and then breathes the Holy Spirit upon them, empowering them for their mission. The resurrection isn’t just about triumph over death—it’s a powerful reminder that peace, faith, and purpose are gifts meant to be shared.

Seven Signs #6 - This sermon reflects on Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, showing that His miracles are signs pointing to His true identity as the Son of God. The message emphasizes that Jesus’ love sometimes means waiting, because His timing reveals greater glory and deeper hope. We see how He meets Martha with truth and Mary with compassion, showing He is both powerful and tender. Jesus is the resurrection and the life so we can live with courage, generosity, and unshakable hope—even in the face of suffering and death.

Seven Signs #5 - The story of the blind man found in John 9 shows us that suffering isn’t always tied to personal sin, but can be an opportunity for God’s power to be displayed. While the Pharisees remain spiritually blind, the healed man not only gains physical sight but also recognizes Jesus as the Son of Man and worships Him. Only Jesus can open our spiritual eyes, and true sight begins when we admit our blindness and trust Him. Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk/
Seven Signs #4 - Jesus’ miracles aren’t just about meeting physical needs—they point us to Him as the true source of life. The crowd in today’s passage misunderstood this, chasing bread and titles, but Jesus makes clear that only by trusting Him fully can we find lasting joy and peace. The key takeaway is to stop relying on “bread that perishes” and instead build our lives on Jesus Himself, letting His life become ours.

Seven Signs #3 - Jesus’ miracles are not just acts of compassion but signs pointing us to His identity as God’s Son. The healing at the pool shows that human solutions fall short, but Jesus offers true hope and calls us to respond with faith and obedience. We must fix our eyes on Jesus, trust His authority, and choose to follow Him fully, rather than settling for temporary or shallow substitutes.

Seven Signs #1 - Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana shows that the old ways of relying on law or human effort are inadequate, but His provision is abundant and life-giving. By turning water into wine, Jesus points to the sufficiency of His sacrifice—He alone can meet our deepest needs and remove shame, offering joy and true life. When we ask, obey, and trust Him, Jesus provides more than enough, and His blessings lead us into deeper faith and relationship with Him.

Joseph #5 - In this passage of scripture, Joseph’s powerful example of forgiveness shows us that true reconciliation begins by naming wrongs honestly, bearing the cost ourselves, and remaining open to restored relationships. Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting or demanding repayment—it’s about trusting God’s hand at work. When we forgive, like Joseph, we not only find freedom from bitterness but we are free to become blessings to others.

Joseph #4 - In this passage, Joseph tests his brothers to see if they have truly changed. We see an incredible transformation in his brother Judah, from selfishness to self-sacrificing love. Judah’s transformation teaches us that we are never too broken for God’s love to reach and transform us. When we experience God’s love through Jesus, we are set free from fighting for ourselves and empowered to lay down our rights for the good of others.

Joseph #3 - This sermon highlights how Joseph’s awareness of God’s presence sustained him through years of suffering in prison and slavery, freeing him to serve others and preparing him for the moment God raised him to lead Egypt. None of Joseph’s hardships were wasted—God used every circumstance to shape him for His purposes. He does the same with us. When we face trials, we can trust that God is with us, using even our hardest seasons to prepare us for future glory and to bless others.

Joseph #2 - Joseph’s story in Genesis 39 shows that even when life seems unfair—sold into slavery, falsely accused, and thrown into prison—God was still with him, giving him favor and success. Instead of giving in to temptation or despair, Joseph chose integrity and trusted that God’s presence mattered more than his circumstances. The takeaway for us is this: don’t measure God’s love by how easy or hard life feels—trust that He is with you and working for your good, even when you can’t see it.

Joseph #1 - In this series, the focus shifts away from Jacob and onto his kids - especially Joseph. Joseph receives some incredible promises from God but he has to wait awhile before they come true. Even in the waiting, even when they seem impossible, God’s promises are trustworthy. Memory Verse: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” - Gen. 50:20 Learn more about The Bridge Church: Website: https://thebridgechurch.hk Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/limitless License code: DBTSLYQWSIC9DWLA
Jacob #4 - Throughout this series, Jacob has been struggling to get ahead. In these chapters of scripture, Jacob has a strange encounter with God that transforms him so completely. Instead of relying on himself and acting out of his pride, we see Jacob rely on God in his weakness and approach Esau in humility.

Jacob #3 - Jacob meets his match in Laban, who tricks him repeatedly. Yet God remains faithful to His promises. Through Jacob’s suffering and setbacks, God exposes Jacob’s old patterns of sin and begins reshaping him into someone who can truly receive and share blessing. Even when Jacob relies on superstition or his own schemes, God graciously provides and protects, turning deception into the path for His greater plan—including the lineage of Jesus through Leah. The sermon reminds us that when we face mistreatment or hardship, we can trust God’s provision and live faithfully, knowing He uses e
