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.

Message #9 "Paramedics & Art Restoration Specialists"
Marc Schelske

God's purpose since the fall has been to bring restoration, and this is the ministry He has entrusted to us. His mission has become our mission. We are called to bring restoration into the lives of the people we come in contact with. Sometimes this means being involved in other people's crisis, sometimes this means investing in a person slowly and gently over the long haul. But in either case our relationships are meant to be avenues of healing to others.

Message #5 "The Perfect Ensemble Cast"

We've already established that the church is not the building, the organization or the program. But these misconceptions color the way we live as Christians - especially in the area of spiritual gifts. If the church is the organization, then the gifts that matter are the ones that have to do with being in charge. If the church is the program, then the gifts that matter are the ones that end up on stage. But if the church is a body, then what gifts are important?
