    David and Goliath Isn't About You

    Most people read David and Goliath backwards.You put yourself in David's shoes. You picture your Goliath and get ready to fight. But that's not the point of the story.In this episode, Josh and Ethan break down why David and Goliath isn't a story about you finding the courage to face your giants. It's a story about Christ. David isn't the hero. He's a shadow of the real one.They talk through what it means to read scripture as gospel centered instead of moralistic, why fear is really about conceding control, and how trust in God only counts when you're okay with the worst case scenario. Plus: Ethan's 43rd birthday, Richard Petty, and a public request for a t-shirt.__Watch the sermon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5avwaCbFJFA

    The Goliath of Fear - Pastor Ethan Welch

    Fear magnifies what stands against us, but faith sees beyond the obstacle to the God who is greater. In this sermon, “The Goliath of Fear,” we’ll see how David’s courage came from knowing God’s heart, trusting God’s power, and refusing to let what he saw become bigger than what he believed. And ultimately, David points us to Jesus, the true Champion who stepped into the battle we could never win and won the victory for us.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events

    Learning to Love the Wait: Lessons from the Life of David

    Every Sunday for the next year, we're walking through the life of David. This episode picks up right after week one and gets into the thing that struck us both afterward: there's a 15 year gap between the moment David gets anointed and the moment he actually becomes king. Fifteen years of serving under a king who hated him before the crown ever showed up. We talk about what it actually looks like to live in that gap, why the mundane, unseen seasons of life aren't wasted time, and how to stop chasing notoriety and start finding your identity somewhere that doesn't move. Ethan gets honest about his own early years as a young pastor who needed everyone's approval, and we get into what it actually means to fear God instead of fearing what people think of you. If you're in a waiting season right now, in a job, a relationship, or just life in general, this one's for you. __ Purchase your journal here: https://a.co/d/02HOLSWA This podcast is a deep dive on the sermon "God's Man" you can watch the full sermon here: https://youtu.be/GFUDXt31RsI

    God's Man - Pastor Ethan Welch

    In today sermon, “God’s Man,” we begin the story of David by asking a question that reaches far beyond him: “What if we’re wrong about what matters?” In 1 Samuel 16, God overturns human assumptions about greatness and shows us that he values character over image, obscurity over notoriety, and serving over striving. From the very beginning, David’s life also begins pointing us toward a greater King, Jesus.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events

    Deep Dive: Is Tithing Biblical?

    Is tithing still relevant for Christians today? Or is it an Old Testament principle that doesn't apply anymore? It's one of those questions that a lot of people have but never ask out loud. In this episode, Pastor Ethan sits down for a candid conversation on what the Bible actually says about the tithe, why the New Testament doesn't reduce the expectation of generosity but actually raises it, and what it looks like practically to honor God with your finances even when things are tight. They also get into the difference between a sluggard mentality and a workaholic mentality, what it means to move from a laborer mindset to an owner mindset, and why your financial decisions today are building something whether you realize it or not. No guilt trip. No fundraising pitch. Just a real conversation about money, trust, and what it looks like to do finances God's way. ___ This discussion was a follow up to the sermon "Money like an Ant" you can watch the full message here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7xH848633A __ Learn more at thebridgeilm.com

    Money Like an Ant - Pastor Ethan Welch

    Money problems usually don’t begin with one catastrophic decision, but with a thousand small choices about work, comfort, spending, and preparation. In Proverbs 6, Solomon tells us to learn from an unlikely financial coach, the ant, who works hard, thinks ahead, and does today what tomorrow will require. In this sermon, “Money Like an Ant,” we see how financial freedom isn’t luck; it’s built one wise decision at a time.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events

    Money isn't Neutral | A Deep Dive

    Pastor Ethan joins the conversation for a deeper dive off the back of this week's message from Proverbs 6, unpacking debt and what it actually costs us.In this episode:- Why Scripture won't let you separate spiritual maturity from financial health- How debt culture went from rare and difficult to normalized in one generation- The Proverbs 22:7 principle: "the borrower is slave to the lender"- Six reasons debt is dangerous, from bondage to compounding interest- Why the real issue under debt is often the idol of image, not just bad math- The gospel connection: your debt problem is a trust problemMoney isn't neutral. It either masters you or you master it.

    Debt is Dangerous - Pastor Ethan Welch

    Financial stewardship is not separate from spiritual maturity. God’s people should seek to handle money God’s way with the same seriousness we bring to prayer, Scripture, generosity, and every other area of discipleship. In Proverbs 6, we’ll begin building a biblical foundation for financial health by confronting one of Scripture’s clearest warnings: debt is dangerous.__The Bridge Church exists to join God in multiplying his kingdom in Wilmington and the world.For more information on The Bridge Church, please visit https://thebridgeilm.com/Next Steps: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/people/forms/302918If you feel led, give online by clicking here: https://www.thebridgeilm.com/giveSTAY CONNECTEDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebridgeilm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheBridgeILMEvents Page: https://thebridgeilm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events
