Life Songs
"Better Is One Day"
Marc Schelske
Today we introduce our new teaching series, "Life Songs." Many people assume that worship is what they see happening when Christians sing generally happy songs in church services. And so when their feelings don't align with those kinds of songs, they assume they can't worship, or they feel fake. But reading through the Psalms we discover that worship is much broader than that. In this series we'll look at a number of different Psalms that reveal the emotional breadth of true worship, where we can bring ourselves in whatever condition we are to God.
The first week we look at Psalms 84 and see an example of worship that is rooted in yearning to be in God's presence.

"Listening To God"
Kevin Carr
Jesus said "I will be leaving you, but don't worry, I will send you a Friend to journey with you." But how can we know the Friend, who we sometimes call the Holy Spirit? Paradoxically, we are called to be "weak and surrendered" in order to know the Friend. "Be still, and know that I am God." Ps. 46:10

"Wilderness - Life Comes Back"
Brittany Ouchida-Walsh
There are times in our spiritual journey when we feel dry and disconnected. We are not alone in this. The desert is a frequent theme in scripture and the life of faith. Often these times are a part of God's work in our lives, stripping away things that are not essential for us, and preparing us for the birth of new things.

"Don't Fall Away Because of Me."
Marc Schelske
We start the new year talking about the difficulty that arises when we measure the quality of our faith or God's presence by the quality of our circumstances. By looking at the story of John the Baptist and his inquiry of Jesus, we see how easy it is to blame God or get spiritually frustrated when it seems that God isn't coming through for us in the way we hoped. Jesus reminds us that we don't follow Him for what He does for us, but because of who He is.

Reflections on Worship
Periodically Bridge City takes an entire worship service for a special worship focus with extended music and other creative and participatory ways to connect with God. At the most recent worship experience, Chelsea Cafferky led a group of people to talk about what worship means to them personally, and what God has been doing in their lives through our times or worship.
Chelsea Cafferky leads a great discussion with Ivan Hernandez, Don Loveridge, Julie Steuer, and Makenzie Loveridge.
