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,...

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.

Christ & Culture show art 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 show art 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.

God's Mission: Don't Go Alone. show art God's Mission: Don't Go Alone.

Bridge City Church

“Don’t go it alone. God’s mission is harder than you think it may be.” Acts 18:1-17 God’s mission is essentially to extend his love to every person through Jesus, to be loved by his people, and for people to share that love with each other. It seems like that would be well received, an easy task. But when you look at Jesus and the Apostle Paul, you will see that human beings are self-centered by nature and struggle with this, resisting and resenting; not unlike a small child who sometimes resists and resents a parent’s loving care. This teaching will help us all persevere in the...
