Bridges Street Ministry - What Kind of Soil are You? Jesus teaches us in Matthew 13 that the condition of our heart will determine how we receive God's message and what (if anything) it can produce in our lives. The amazing thing ... no matter how hard our life has made our hearts, Jesus can change them. 

We just have to let go of the things we are holding onto so tightly that we don't have space to receive from the Lord. Whether it's pride, addiction, anger, possessions, Jesus asks us to release our grip on this things so he can start to plant something new in our hearts.

Bridges Street Ministry - Don't Drift from the Calling. Today we are diving into something REAL, because you know, we like to keep it real at Bridges. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, "Today, I am going to ruin my life." Most of the time, it happens slowly. One compromise, one moment, one decision that we try and justify and before we know it, we're somewhere we never thought we would be .... AGAIN.

Today we take a surface look at the lives of Adam, Saul, Samson and David ... each one of them all had favour, each one of them had calling and they all had access to God. But all of them, at some point, drifted away from God.
