Jesus Is All We Need
"Jesus: Our Shepherd"
Steven Shomler
We're all familiar with the idea that God loves us, but for some of us this seems to be an abstract bit of theology, not impacting us emotionally. But scripture shows us a picture of God who is deeply moved emotionally when He considers us. This shows up both in the Old Testament and the New, but particularly in the life of Jesus.

Bridge City Ethos, #7
"Core Values - Compassion"
Marc Schelske
The next core value in the Bridge City ethos is Compassion. "Love Takes Action." Jesus taught his disciples very clearly that following Him wasn't just about them. A big part of the story was how they served the people around them. Jesus stood clearly in line with the Old Testament prophets, saying that the way we care for those who can't speak for themselves, and those on the margins, express our understanding of God's heart. While there are a lot of ways to engage this part of our faith, all of them come down to a moment of obedience. Will we respond to God when He asks us to serve the people around us?
The last 15 minutes of the video includes the interview with Nathan and Candi Burton about the adventure they are currently on of serving a homeless couple. It's a powerful conversation that we'd love you to be a part of.
