Relationships Take Work
Bridge Builders for Christ

A bridge is a structure made to carry something on it or created to go over obstacles.  By way of creating a relationship with Christ, we create a bridge to God, and we come to love God and love people.

Things We Do to Build Bridges for a Relationship with Christ

• Witness to others
• Maintain the right perspective

 

 

We Are Here to Make Disciples – Matthew 28:19

• Be obedient to God
• Demonstrate what Jesus looks like, acts like, and sounds like.

“God uses unlikely relationships to build bridges to Jesus Christ.” – Elder Melinda Dula

God – John 3:16, John 10:10

We begin by knowing how much God loves us and that He purposed to give us abundant life.

Our Problem – Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 9:27

Our problem is sin, and this separates us from God. As one faces judgement for sin, God sees us in a predicament, and He finds a way.

 

The Solution – Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 3:18

Through grace we are saved. Through God’s example of sending His only son in the flesh we bare witness to the solution.

Our Response (ABC) – John 1:12

ADMIT – Admit we are sinners.

BELIEVE – Believe Jesus died & rose for us.

COMMIT – Commit our lives to following Him, giving Him the authority to be the decision maker in our lives.
