"A New Kind of Relationship"
Marc Schelske
We long for intimacy. We value inclusion, because we want to be included. But in our culture relationships are very often used as tools to get the things we think we need. We form groups so that we can feel the safety of relationship, and then we use those groups to exclude others, so that we feel value. But as followers of Jesus we are called to a new kind of relationship, one where we offer committed intimacy and radical inclusion to those around us. Our effectiveness as witnesses of the Gospel rests on our willingness to use our relationships to serve others.

"A Relational Church Needs Relational People."
Marc Schelske
A new series, "Made For Relationships" was kicked off with this entry. This message lays out the Biblical and theological basis for the importance of relationships in the church. The gospel is at its core relational. That means the church must be as well.

Bridge City Ethos, #6
"Core Values - Community"
Brittany Ouchida-Walsh
The next core value in the Bridge City ethos is Community. "Following Jesus Happens In Community." The evidence in scripture is powerful. Christianity was never meant to be a private dogma or personal experience. When we follow Jesus we become part of a body. We are now connected in a way we weren't before. Everything that we are called to do as Christians happens in the context of relationship. Instead of being able to live a perfect life as measured by our own preferences, we are called to live an open life where we actively engage each other, even when things are hard.

Bridge City Ethos, #5
"Core Values - Authenticity"
Marc Schelske
We continue our teaching series on the Bridge City ethos by looking at the second of our core values. We value authenticity. The Christian life starts with a moment of vulnerability the Bible refers to as confession and repentance. But God's intention is not that this should be a one time thing. His plan is that we live lives marked by this kind of openness with Him and each other.
