Special Service ~ Chris Davenport

The Gospel is the mission of the church. The question is whether or not we are sharing the Gospel message. Are we convinced? Are we consumed by the Holy Spirit? Are we aware that we are commanded to share? These are the questions that are brought before us by Chris Davenport, pastor of The Bridge Church in Fredericksburg, VA.

Second Chance

Life is somewhat unforgiving, we rarely get a second chance at something when we fail the first time. Well, unless we’re dealing with Jesus…

Prayer

What should our prayer sound like when we come to the realization that our best laid plans have gone completely sideways and we need to seek forgiveness? We get to “listen” to Jonah’s prayer when he finds himself in this position.

Responses

When we choose to disobey God, we are faced with the response to that decision. The response of God, the response of other people, and our own response. Sadly, we often fail to realize the unintended consequences of our sin and our own response.

Disobedience

We love to make plans. Plans for vacations, weddings, and even retirement. However, when our plans include disobedience they are doomed to failure. We begin this series from the Book of Jonah looking at what deliberate disobedience looks like and why its a bad idea.

Call to Denial

One thing most American Christians are guilty of is being self-indulgent. We want the music, lighting, and sermon our way. We want air conditioning and heat for a comfortable worship experience, and we want cushions on our pews or chairs. Are any of these things necessary for the gospel? Do we need to practice a little self-denial?

A Church Needs Strong Men

While there is always room for growth in being a man, there is still a need for the men of a church to be strong. In this message we explore what a strong man is like.
