None of us enjoy being corrected, but throughout Scripture, God uses correction as a pathway to growth and freedom.

Joinus as we continue our Lent series "Living Openhandedly" and discover how humbly giving and receiving correction can open the door to deeper faith and worship.

This Sunday, we continue our Lent series, Living Openhandedly, by examining how God’s heart for all people invites us to open our hands to others, even those we have written off or determined outside our box. God doesn’t just save individuals, He forms a new humanity, tearing down dividing walls and building something new. In a time when suspicion and separation feel normal, the cross calls us into reconciliation. This week will be a challenging and helpful textto lead us through both the turbulent times and the regular day-to-day interpersonal issues we face.

This Sunday, we begin our Lent series, Living Openhandedly. Over the past few years, Lent has been a deeply formative season for us as a church, and we’re expectant for how God will move again as we intentionally seek to live more surrendered and dependent on Jesus, desiring to experience His resurrection power in our everyday lives. As we continue in the book of Acts, we’ll see how God works in two people in two different cities, inviting them to open their hands to Hisgreater vision. Don’t miss week one, which promises to be a powerful series and season at New Bridge.Access upcoming events, get connected, downloaddigital sermon notes, request prayer, and more: https://linktr.ee/nbccoly
We see miracles all throughout the Bible. As we continue in Acts chapter 9, we’ll encounter two radical miracles—a healing and the raising of the dead. But we have to ask: Why do miracles exist, and what purpose do they serve? Why do we experience them at some times and not others? While the miraculous may feel distant to you today, we’ll see that it’s closer than we think—and that it has meaningful implications for us all.

We’re used to hype. We know what big, emotional moments look like and the short-term changes that follow. But what does it look like when an encounter with Jesus is more than hype?

What happens when God shows mercy to someone we think doesn’t deserve it? In Acts 9, we encounter the dramatic conversion of Saul, a violent persecutor of Christians, and discover a Gospel that confronts our certainty, humbles ourpride, and extends grace further than we expect.

Sometimes the moments that don’t make sense are exactly where God is at work.

Following Jesus doesn’t always make life easier; sometimes it makes it harder. This Sunday in Acts 7–8, we’ll see how suffering reveals what we really believe, how God redeems hardship to advance His gospel, and why faith that truly transforms us always requires surrender. When faith costs us, the question isn’t if God is at work, but rather what we trust Him for.

Stories shape us long before we realize it. They seek to answer the big questions of life.

Growth is exciting, but it’s rarely easy. Families feel it. Organizations feel it. And the early church felt it too. This Sunday, we’ll look at Acts 6 and discover how growing pains can either divide us or deepen us. What if the challenges we face aren’t signs of failure, but rather invitations into God’s greater purpose for you and the work He is doing in and through New Bridge?

In this sermon, Jeff Fernandez invited us to examine the many “Me or the Mission” moments that shape our lives, especially as a new year draws our attention inward. Scripture calls believers to move beyond personal rights and self-focus and instead seek what is loving, constructive, and good for others. Jesus models this in His interaction with Zacchaeus, showing how grace, truth, and presence can lead to repentance and transformation without compromising holiness. These moments of choosing mission over self form us into Christlikeness, calling us to respond quickly, humbly, and intentionally in our relationships so that God’s discipline produces righteousness and peace in us.Access upcoming events, get connected, download digital sermon notes, request prayer, and more: https://linktr.ee/nbccoly
Family shapes us in ways that we are keenly aware of, and also beneath the surface of how we see ourselves, others, and approach daily life. Christmas surfaces many of the fond influences of our families, and it also surfaces much of the pain that we still carry. At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus’ birth, but His birth shouldn’t be isolated from the family He was born into. This Sunday, we’ll see how family shapes us but doesn’t define us, and how Jesus redeems our familiesby inviting us into His.

This week, we’ll explore the story of Simeon in Luke 2:25–32 and discover how God uses anticipation to point us beyond the season to the Savior. Join us as we learn how Jesus meets us in our waiting, fulfills our deepest longings, and invites us to experience the joy that no Christmas moment can offer but only He can satisfy.

Jealousy is one of those emotions that hides deep beneath the surface—quietly shaping how we see others, how we see ourselves, and even how we see God. It eats us from the inside out and causes us to miss out on the work of God in and through us. Join us this week as we examine the toxicity of jealousy versus the joy and freedom that the Holy Spirit produces, even in the harshest of circumstances.

Acts 5 tells the intense and sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira—an event unlike anything else in the New Testament.

What does it mean to be a bold witness for Jesus? Is boldness something we stir up from within ourselves? Is it simply refusing to back down under cultural pressure?

Join us as we continue learning what Spirit-empowered living looks like in our everyday lives.
