Passion for the Lost - Luke 15
This Sunday at Bridges, we are talking about developing a passion for people who are lost in this world. In Luke 15, Jesus told three stories about lost things: a lost sheep, a lost coin, and two lost brothers. Each story reflects a different perspective on God’s love for lost people. How does our heart reflect the heart of God? A passion for the lost begins with a renewed understanding of God’s grace, mercy, and love towards us.
A passion for the lost is strengthened with renewed sense of urgency in the search, in the care and concern for those people who come across our path. A passion for the lost is further built upon an understanding of the true nature of repentance in light of the Father’s love and grace toward us. May we all develop a renewed sense of “A Passion for the Lost.”

This Week's Sermon: "The Friend at Midnight"
Prayer. Simple enough for a child, yet necessary for all of us, Jesus’ followers requested, “Teach us Lord, to pray.”
Whether you’ve never prayed or you have daily conversations with God, Jesus’ response gives assurance all of our prayers are vital, welcomed, and answered.
