Bridges Community Church Los Altos Bridges' Staff

This summer, we’re hearing from our elders and various staff about how God has worked in their lives in similar ways to how He worked in the lives of people throughout biblical history. This week, we'll hear from Mark Liu, one of our church elders, about how God used the powerful stories of Jesus' time on earth among his people to teach Mark how to be a servant in his community.

This summer, we’re hearing from our elders and various staff about how God has worked in their lives in similar ways to how He worked in the lives of people throughout biblical history. This week, we'll hear from Al Kruger, one of our church elders, about how God used pivotal circumstances and providential relationships throughout his life to bring Al to the point of faith in Jesus.

This summer, we’re hearing from our elders and various staff about how God has worked in their lives in similar ways to how He worked in the lives of people throughout biblical history. This week, we'll hear how the faith story of Alba Kellejian, our Director of Family & Children’s Ministries, intersects with that of a frequently overlooked character from the book of Genesis who learned firsthand that God often reveals Himself to us in the most unexpected ways and is aware of every minute detail of our lives.

This summer, we’re hearing from our elders and various staff about how God has worked in their lives in similar ways to how He worked in the lives of people throughout biblical history. This week, we'll hear how Pastor Dan’s story intersects with Jonah’s story. It is one of God’s faithfulness in the midst of rebellion, and how we often don’t surrender until we are in the depths.

The Bible is filled with unexpected and dramatic accounts of reversal—stories in which a situation of despair, failure, or judgment is somehow miraculously transformed by God (often at the last moment) into one of hope, victory, and redemption.


We enjoy hearing those types of stories in Scripture, but we sometimes struggle to believe that God is really able and interested in reversing seemingly hopeless circumstances in our own lives. But as we wrap up our sermon series from the book of Esther this week, we’ll once again be reminded that God is always good and always wise and always at work (often behind the scenes), orchestrating events for His purposes, even when we cannot see a way out.

God isn’t only interested in restoring some of the brokenness in the world, He’s restoring all of it. This week as we study Esther chapter 8, we will see God reverse more of the terrible effects of evil and learn that His plan of redemption is far beyond what we could ever ask or imagine.
