Bridge City Church

Every week at Bridge City Church, we gather around one question: What does it look like to truly flourish through the person and way of Jesus? These sermons explore the life, teachings, and way of Jesus and how they can transform us from the inside out. Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're just starting to wonder if there's something to all this, you're welcome here. New episode every week from our home in Redwood City, CA.

Exodus 11-13: Don’t Forget to Remember 10/19/2026

Exodus 11-13: Don’t Forget to Remember In Pastor Corey’s message, he explores Exodus 11–13. The message highlights how God provided a way of escape through the blood of the Passover lamb, prefiguring the ultimate substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. True freedom requires believers to actively remember God’s past deliverance so they can overcome self-righteousness, reject a low view of sin, and walk faithfully in the present. Finally, God calls His people to pass down this legacy of redemption to the next generation through intentional faith and sacrificial living. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/43359154

Exodus 7-10 | The Purpose of the Plagues 10/12/2026

Exodus 7-10 | The Purpose of the Plagues In this message through Exodus 7–10, Pastor Corey reveals how God’s power and transcendence are put on display so that all people might truly know Him through personal experience. Beyond defeating Egypt’s idols, God shows us that we are all in need of grace and offers a way out of spiritual slavery through Jesus Christ. Watch to learn how experiencing the living God leads us to bold faith, deeper worship, and genuine humility. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/43265633

Exodus 4-6 | Defeating Discouragement 10/05/2026

Exodus 4-6 | Defeating Discouragement In this message from Exodus 4:18–6:12, Pastor Corey explores what happens when we obey God’s call and life gets harder. Through Moses’ encounter with Pharaoh, we discover that God remains in control, reveals His character, and promises liberation, redemption, adoption, and inheritance—fulfilled in Jesus Christ. When discouragement leaves us exhausted and our faith feels small, we can meet life’s pain with God’s promises and trust the One who faithfully rescues His people. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/43183628

God’s Silence ≠ His Absence | Exodus 1 & 2 09/29/2026

God’s Silence ≠ His Absence | Exodus 1 & 2 In this message, Pastor Corey launches our journey through Exodus by showing that biblical freedom is more than being rescued from something—it is being rescued for Someone. Through the chapters 1 and 2 of Exodus, we discover that God’s silence is not His absence and that He remains committed to rescuing His people in His way. Jesus, the greater Moses, invites us to trust Him and follow Him into true freedom. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42992733

God Can Use You 09/28/2026

God Can Use You In his message, Pastor Paul looks at Exodus 3–4, where God meets Moses in the wilderness, reveals his plan to deliver Israel, and calls Moses to take part. As Moses raises doubts and excuses, God patiently answers him with the promise of his presence. This message invites us to trust that God is still at work and to say yes to the part he calls us to play in his mission. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/43065158

Psalm 150: How Could I Not Praise Him? 09/08/2026

Psalm 150: How Could I Not Praise Him? Pastor Corey’s message from Psalm 150 reminds us that no matter where life takes us, everything is ultimately headed toward praise. We praise God for who He is and what He has done—especially the greater Exodus accomplished through Jesus, who has rescued us from sin and death. Because He is worthy of everything, we’re invited to worship Him with everything we have, until everything that has breath praises the Lord. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42827645

Psalm 67: Singing & Sending 08/24/2026

Psalm 67: Singing & Sending In Pastor Paul Schult’s message from Psalm 67, he shows us that God blesses His people not simply for ourselves, but so that His salvation might be known throughout the world. Through Psalm 67’s prayer, praise, and promise, we discover that we are blessed to be a blessing—called to make God’s name and the good news of Jesus known among all people. Pastor Paul challenges us to make this Psalm our prayer and rallying cry: “Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!” /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42537175

Your Love is Better Than Life 08/17/2026

Your Love is Better Than Life Pastor Corey’s message from Psalm 63 explores how experiencing the depth of God’s love in Jesus transforms every part of our lives. We move from belief to desire, from attenders to worshippers, and from being crushed by hardship to rejoicing in God through it all. When we truly grasp that His love is better than life, following Jesus becomes more than something we believe—it becomes a life of worship, mission, and unshakable joy. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42461155

Who can ascend the hill? 08/10/2026

Who can ascend the hill? Who can ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in the presence of a holy God? In this message, Pastor Corey shows how Psalm 24 reveals that we don’t gain access to God because we’ve finally become good enough, but because Jesus—the King of Glory—has done for us what we could never do for ourselves. In this message, we discover the freedom of trusting His way over ours and the incredible grace of knowing that because we are with Jesus, we can enter the presence of God. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42380095

Psalm 23 | I Fear Nothing 08/03/2026

Psalm 23 | I Fear Nothing 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. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42302025

Psalm 23 | I Lack Nothing 07/27/2026

Psalm 23 | I Lack Nothing 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. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42229535

Trust Jesus 07/20/2026

Trust Jesus 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. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42151135

Watch Your Mouth 07/13/2026

Watch Your Mouth 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, and reconciliation. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/42055650

Wise Work 07/07/2026

Wise Work What is work actually for? In a culture that often looks to work for identity, security, and significance, Proverbs points us to a better way. Discover how Christ’s finished work frees us from trying to prove our worth so that our work can once again become a way of loving our neighbors and participating in God’s flourishing of the world. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/41992040

Better Friendship 06/29/2026

Better Friendship Listen in as pastor Corey unpacks Proverbs 27. Friendships are essential for life, but what is the aim of your friendships? Jesus gives us a beautiful vision for what they could be, and this message gives us 3 traits we can apply to cultivate great friendships. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/41886910

The Courage You Can’t Find Within 05/15/2026

The Courage You Can’t Find Within 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. Looking at Paul’s transformation from persecutor to bold witness, we see how the resurrection of Jesus gives us courage to face fear, suffering, surrender, and even death with hope. This sermon calls us to stop relying on ourselves and instead trust the courageous Savior who holds onto us. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/41308285

Local Church Leadership 05/01/2026

Local Church Leadership 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. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/41120555

Christ & Culture 04/24/2026

Christ & Culture 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 is found in surrendering to Him. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/41011115

Almost Followers 04/14/2026

Almost Followers 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. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40867340

Easter: A New Life 04/10/2026

Easter: A New Life Are you tired of the same? When life gets difficult, do you find yourself reverting back to the same habits the same coping mechanisms, the same beliefs the same thought patterns? If you want something new listen to this Eastern messages Pastor Corey unpacks how Easter gives us a new way in a new life. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798840

We Must Trust 04/10/2026

We Must Trust In Acts 18:18-28, we see what is at the heartbeat of any effective team on mission together, trust. The local Church accomplishing the mission of God is no different. Listen to this message as Pastor Corey looks at this text and how we must trust to move the needle in any area of our life and in the life of the local Church. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798780

God's Mission: Don't Go Alone. 04/10/2026

God's Mission: Don't Go Alone. “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 faithful work of God’s mission! /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798730

Waiting in Athens 04/10/2026

Waiting in Athens Paul's engagement with the people of Athens teaches us how to engage with the people of the Bay Area. We must see what Paul saw — observe the idols around us. We must feel what Paul felt — allow our hearts to be stirred with jealous love for God’s glory and compassion for our neighbors. We must do what Paul did — step into the marketplace of ideas, not arrogantly or defensively, but winsomely and boldly, speaking of the true and living God and calling people to repentance and faith in the risen Jesus. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798665

It's More Than a Book 04/10/2026

It's More Than a Book In this message, It’s More Than a Book, Pastor Corey explores Acts 17 and shows how Scripture is not merely literature, but the living revelation of Jesus Christ that transforms lives. In Acts 17:2-3, Paul “reasoned with them from the Scriptures,” and in Acts 17:11 the Bereans “received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true,” modeling a way of reading the Bible with Christ at the center, with humility and hunger, and in pursuit of truth. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one redemptive story—Jesus crucified and risen—and when read through that lens, it becomes the engine of real change and spiritual transformation. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798630

God Still Guides 04/10/2026

God Still Guides What is guiding your life? We don’t drift off course because we lack information, but because we’re being led by the wrong things—ambition, reputation, fear, or comfort instead of God. In Acts 16, we see that the abundant life Jesus offers comes from being actively guided by the Holy Spirit—learning to hear His voice through Scripture, discerning His direction in community, and obeying Him quickly, even when He says no. Ultimately, the call is to surrender our will to God’s, trusting that the Father who said “no” to the Son at the cross now guides us in love toward life. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798620

Jesus + Nothing = Everything 04/10/2026

Jesus + Nothing = Everything In our message for today, Pastor Corey walks through Acts 15 to show that while the Church doesn’t need to fight over everything, but it must contend for the Gospel when grace itself is at stake. The early Church faced a defining moment where tradition threatened to burden new believers, and the apostles made it clear: salvation is by grace alone, and we should never make it hard for people who are turning to God. The call for us today is to be a church that prioritizes the Gospel, welcomes outsiders with passion, and chooses relationship and unity over preferences, arguments, and unnecessary barriers. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798600

Sentness Requires Surrender 04/10/2026

Sentness Requires Surrender Acts 14 chronicles Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. We learn from them that to Live Sent will require surrender on four ways: we must minister in both word and deed, contextualize the unchanging Gospel, endure hardship with grace, and create conditions where new believers can mature and grow. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798565

The Power of the Gospel 04/10/2026

The Power of the Gospel We are all on a journey from performing for God to resting in God, showing how truly experiencing the Gospel rather than just knowing it. The Gospel reshapes our identity and offers true freedom. Drawing from Acts 13, listen in as Pastor Corey proclaims the Gospel as good news, not good advice: God has acted in history through Jesus’ death and resurrection to forgive sins and accomplish what we never could. When this Gospel is believed, it not only forgives us but frees us from idols, inviting us into a life of joyful surrender, deep security, and mission. /episode/index/show/redeemerrwc/id/40798500
