Ridge Church Audio Podcast

This week we are wrapping up our series "Somewhere we Know But Haven't Been." Pastor Leroy reminds us that the hope of heaven encourages us to serve God's kingdom on earth. While we wait patiently on our Savior's return, it is our mission to serve and love those around us the way that Jesus loved us. It is our prayer that this message and this series would have an impact on your life and help you to love Christ more.

This week we are continuing our series, "Somewhere We Know But Haven't Been" with Pastor Leroy continuing his teaching on Heaven. Last week Pastor Leroy reminded us of how heaven will be like a new earth and God will redeem His broken creation. In this week's message, we are reminded that God will renew our purpose in Heaven. We will continually glorify God without the hindrance of our flesh and the sin that lingers in it.

This week we are ending our series "If You Could Write the World." We are so thankful for all that God has done through this message. This week Pastor Trip teaches about the life that we are called to live as followers as Jesus. We are called to a life of holiness and righteousness. How we respond to that calling will determine where we will spend eternity and how others will remember us when we leave this earth. We hope and pray that this message will challenge you and encourage you to follow the calling of Jesus. 

In part 3 of our series, "If You Could Write the World," Pastor Trip encourages us to think about how we want to spend our time on earth. The Lord teaches that our days are numbered so it's important how we choose to spend them. In our hustle-driven culture, it's easy to neglect our faith as well as those we love. Christ calls us to walk a different path. We hope and pray that this message would encourage you in your faith.

This week we are continuing our series "If You Could Write the World" and continuing to think about our lives as a letter that we are continuously writing. Pastor Trip's message centers on the wealth that we accumulate on earth and how it impacts our legacy. He reminds us that it doesn't matter how much wealth we have or how much we accumulate. It's about what we do with the wealth that will determine the legacy we leave behind. We hope and pray that this message will challenge you and help you to grow in your faith. 

This week Pastor Trip is kicking off a new series and we are so excited for what the Lord is going to teach us in the upcoming weeks! In this first message, Pastor Trip preaches the idea that our life is a letter. And we get to choose how we write our letters each day. Are we going to write a letter that glorifies God or are we going to choose to write as the World does, focusing on the short-term and immediate gratification? We hope and pray that this message challenges you to pause and think about what you want your letter to say.

This week we are in part three of our series "His Name Is John." Pastor Trip challenges us as a church and as children of God to push through the seasons of doubt and questioning when it feels like God is absent or distant. Pastor Trip encourages through the scripture that God is always with us and is always working. We hope and pray that this message reminds you of that truth and enables you to grow in your faith.

Happy 8 Years, Ridge Church family! This week, Pastor Trip continues his series "His Name Is John," which is all about Pride and Humility. Pastor Trip reminds us of how detrimental the sin of pride is to our lives and our relationships. When our hearts are full of pride, we can't indeed be the Church that Jesus has called us to be. Instead, we must genuinely humble ourselves, remembering that we play only a part in God's plan that is so much bigger than us. 

This week, Pastor Trip is kicking off a brand new series called "His Name Is John." We are so excited about what this series has in store for our church. If you ever miss a message, make sure to listen to the podcast or catch up on the Youtube channel or the Church Website.  We hope this new series will encourage you in your faith, and we pray that it will bring about transformation in your life. 

This week Pastor Trip is wrapping up our series "Fringe Benefits," and he challenges us to think about what we really want. What do we really want in our lives, in our relationships with others, in our marriage, in our job, but most importantly, what do we want from our relationship with Jesus? Do we only seek Jesus for the 'benefits' and what we can get right now? Inevitably, that will never lead us to what we REALLY want. However, Jesus will reign for eternity, and He calls us to look beyond what we want now to see what God WANTS for our lives. 

In part 3 of Fringe Benefits, Pastor Leroy encourages us to think about the question, "how do we avoid getting lost in the fringe?" In our world and culture today, it is so easy to focus on how Jesus can benefit us right here and now and we lose site of our eternity. We forget about our greatest need - Jesus and how we must surrender ourselves to Him. Pastor Leroy spurrs us to take heart because the grace of God covers our multitude of sin so that we can freely enter into a right relationship with Him. We hope that this message will encourage you this week to repent and return to your Heavenly Father who loves you.

In part II of our series "Fringe Benefits," Pastor Trip asks the question, is Jesus really enough? He challenges us to evaluate our faith and where it truly lies. Is our faith solely in Jesus and who He is? Or have we built our life on shaky and conditional faith and only on what Jesus can do for our lives?

We are excited to be kicking off our new series "Fringe Benefits" with Pastor Trip's message "The Real Target". In his message, Pastor Trip encourages us not to focus only on the benefits of following Jesus. But, rather our real target should be to follow Jesus regardless of the benefits because Jesus didn't pay the price for our sins only for us to have a happy life on earth.

In the second and final part of our mini series Transformation - Pastor Trip reminds us that transformation is a process that can't be rushed. Transformation is a process that takes place among believers encouraging and admonishing one another along the road to living a life transformed by Biblical Values. 

In this weeks message, lead pastor Trip Healey is back with us sharing his recent experience in the Dominican Republic and the transformation taking place there thanks to John Maxwell. Pastor Trip gives us three practical things that we can do to transform the lives around us and the communities we live in.

Ending our annual series Summer Together we get to hear from three special members of our team at Ridge. Pastor Leroy, Pastor Jared, and Rebecca Healey dive into Ridge Church's mission work on a local, national, and international level - giving us a clear vision of how God intends to use us as the hands and feet of His Church.

In part III of our series "Summer Together", Pastor Scott Lawrence reminds us who we are created to be as Christians. He also reminds us that Jesus gives us the POWER to be who He created us to be. And we're left with three commands: Encounter Jesus. Find Belonging. Impact Lives.

Summer is full of vacations, day trips, and relaxation. Don't let the busy-ness of summer isolate you. Let's do Summer Together.
