Psalm 23 | I Fear Nothing
Bridge City Church
In Pastor Corey’s message, we continue through Psalm 23 and discover that because Jesus is our Good Shepherd, we can move from a life driven by fear to one anchored in faith. No matter what valley we face, His presence, protection, and guidance are enough to lead us safely through and remind us that we never walk alone. Ultimately, Psalm 23 points us to the Gospel: the Shepherd who entered the valley for us, conquered death, and now pursues us with His goodness, inviting us to come home.

Psalm 23 | I Lack Nothing
Bridge City Church
Most of us spend our lives chasing the next thing, burdened by a constant sense of scarcity and an endless list of "if onlys." In this message Pastor Corey unpacks Psalm 23:1-3 and helps us see when Jesus is your Shepherd, you can boldly declare with King David: "I lack nothing." When we stop trying to shepherd ourselves and surrender to Jesus, He leads us to green pastures, guides us beside still waters, and brings true, deep restoration to our souls.

Trust Jesus
Bridge City Church
How do we run the Christian race for the long haul without throwing in the towel? Drawing from Proverbs 3 and Hebrews 12, Pastor Corey explores what it takes to cultivate a lasting faith that goes the distance. To endure the heavy seasons of life, we are called to go "all in"—trusting in God’s Word, leaning entirely on His character, and reframing life's hardships as His loving discipline. Ultimately, a lifetime of faithful obedience comes down to two simple words: Trust Jesus.

Watch Your Mouth
Bridge City Church
In this powerful message, Pastor Corey explores the profound impact of our words and why God cares so deeply about how we use them. Drawing from Proverbs, Matthew, and James, he challenges us to realize that our speech is a direct reflection of our hearts—nothing we say is an accident, but rather a revelation of what is stored inside. While we cannot tame our tongues on our own strength, true transformation happens from the inside out when we surrender our hearts to Jesus Christ. Tune in to discover how the Gospel can shift our speech from words that wound to words that bring healing, life,...

The Courage You Can’t Find Within
Bridge City Church
In this message from Acts 22, Pastor Corey explores how true courage is not something we manufacture from within, but something Jesus places within us through encountering Him.

This sermon calls us to stop relying on ourselves and instead trust the courageous Savior who holds onto us.

Local Church Leadership
Bridge City Church
In his message on Acts 20, Pastor Corey unpacks the leadership crisis facing both the world and the church, where billions are spent developing leaders yet burnout, decline, and ineffectiveness remain widespread. He highlights the Apostle Paul’s vision for church leadership—rooted in God’s Word, shaped by deep relationships, and guided by the Holy Spirit. This message challenges leaders to guard their own spiritual lives and faithfully shepherd others, reminding us that the health of any community rises or falls with its leadership.

Christ & Culture
Bridge City Church
In his message today, Pastor Mark Mitchell explores Acts 19 and how Christians have historically responded to culture and highlights the inevitable tension that arises when the gospel challenges deeply held cultural values, as seen in Ephesus. We contend that faithful Christian living doesn’t require aggressive opposition but naturally disrupts cultural idols, both ancient (like Artemis) and modern (like self-centered individualism). Ultimately, the Church is called to follow Jesus’ example of self-denial and submission to God, even when it provokes resistance, trusting that true identity...

Almost Followers
Bridge City Church
In this message on Acts 19:1-20, Pastor Corey contrasts between being a “fan” of Jesus—interested but distant—with being a true follower whose whole life is surrendered and aligned to Him. Acts 19 shows that “almost followers” believe in God but stop short of trusting, obeying, and living daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. The call is to move from casual belief to full commitment—trusting Jesus completely, engaging Him daily, and turning decisively from sin in repentance.
