Ever wonder why Christians can look—and sound—so different? From politics to denominations, it can feel like everyone’s claiming to represent Jesus but standing on opposite sides. In this week’s message, we explore what it means to be part of one holy, worldwide, unified church—anchored in history, committed to the future, and powered by grace. The faith isn’t fragile, and there’s a place for you in the story. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Yo...
In a world where “Christian” can mean just about anything depending on who you ask, in this series we’re trying to cut through the noise together. We’re exploring what it actually means to follow Jesus—beyond politics, opinions, and ideologies—and rediscovering the core of our faith through the lens of the ancient Nicene Creed. It’s about unity, clarity, and an open invitation to everyone still figuring it out. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or are just curious, you’re welcome ...
What if the story of Jesus didn’t end with the cross? The Creed reminds us: “On the third day he rose again…” The resurrection wasn’t just a miracle—it was a promise kept. And when Jesus ascended, it wasn’t about leaving, it was about taking His rightful throne and sending us His Spirit. This week we explore how the resurrection, ascension, and promised return give us unity, hope, and power for today. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com...
Christianity isn’t about sameness—it started with a wildly diverse crowd united under one banner: Jesus. In this message, we unpack the Creed’s bold claim: “We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ.” His story is history, but it’s also an invitation—your story, my story, our story. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Christians can sometimes make Christianity confusing—angry, kind, judgmental, helpful, and everything in between. But at its core, following Jesus isn’t about politics or personalities; it’s about confessing who God is and trusting that He is enough. In this message, we explore the Nicene Creed’s opening line—“We believe in one God, the Father Almighty”—and why your faith is not fragile when anchored to Him. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Yout...
Christians look different—some serve the marginalized, some protest, some worship in suits, others on couches. So what does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this series, we're exploring the essence of faith through the Nicene Creed, a guiding rope connecting believers across history to the resurrection. From believing "that" to believing "in", we’ll uncover how Christianity can anchor your life, carry you through doubts, and show that your faith is not fragile. www.ridgechurchclt.org Faceb...
As we wrap up this series centered around the health of our spiritual and emotional heart, we have to make sure this checkup is a part of our routine. Do we care about the things that the people we care about care about? Sometimes it comes a little more naturally, but how can we make this a beat of our heart. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
There is a very real battle between what we want now and what we want most, and we have a choice to make—will our hearts be set on NOW or LATER? www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words you say. In Matthew 15:10-20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself? www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
It's a pretty mighty thing to know that God is FOR me and you. But it should always be followed by a comma not a period. He is FOR me, so I will be FOR others. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Self-Control. That little compound word that seems like it's too much to handle. As we wrap up the conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, we follow the example of Jesus and let the Spirit lead the way. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Faithfulness stands out because unfaithfulness is all too common. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, faithfulness means being someone others can count on -- but what happens when someone isn't -- what if that someone is you. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength that’s been trained to love well. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, gentleness is the ability to respond with grace when we could react with force. This kind of strength doesn’t come from willpower, but from the Spirit shaping us from the inside out. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Every July we take one week off to give our voluteers and staff an opportunity to spend more time with family. But take a listen to this incredible baptism story and revisit an important message for the series "Out of the Shallows". www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
What's Good? Sometimes it's a casual remark, but the deeper you go the more you find it can be difficult to figure out. But we have a guide for life when we yield to God's Spirit. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
The world’s got a lot to say about being a man—but most of it misses the mark. Jesus shows us a better way: strength with humility, truth with love, and purpose that lasts. Real manhood starts with following Him. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Kindness isn’t the same as being nice—nice is easy, but nice is not always kind. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, kindness is about choosing to actively love others, even when it costs us something. This kind of kindness doesn’t come from us alone; it flows through us as we walk with the Spirit. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Patience isn’t just about our response to circumstances. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, it about our responses to people. We don’t have to be stuck with the limited patience we used up today. There is more available to us than we realize. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
In a world filled with anxiety, where is our peace? Jesus never said life would be easy, but he did promise us a path that leads to peace. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
Though circumstantial happiness is inherently fleeting, we still have a tendency to chase happiness when what we really long for is joy. If you’re in the search for joy, it goes hand and hand with one little word — abide. www.ridgechurchclt.org Facebook.com/ridgechurchclt Instagram.com/ridgechurchclt Youtube.com/@ridgechurchclt Ridge Thrive
