In this episode we continue to explore the gospel. Not simply the proposition of the gospel but the implications of what it means to believe it and the consequences when we get it wrong.Many challenges confront the church but none are greater than the challenge to understand and believe the “old” gospel. The church must begin (return) to thinking deeply about the faith. At the heart of it is the centrality of the gospel about Christ- His Person and Work.If we get it right we will experience a union with the cross of Christ. If we get it wrong, the world will love us and our lives and loves will not be distinct from those who hate Christ. Let get the gospel right!!Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

Nothing matters more than the gospel! No thing and No one. When we grasp this by faith we not only understand why Christ is to be adored but we also see how anything that runs counter to the gospel is offensive to the Lord.Thus, if we are to be unified we must practice and live in the realities of the gospel. We must have gospel shaped and gospel centered affections and desires. Racial and relational unity are mere by products of being rooted, grounded and built up in this redemptive historical- compared work of Christ.Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

What is the gospel? That sounds like a very basic question but the truth is that the answer is different that what is actually passing as the gospel today. Over the next series podcast, Sherard will examine this question in various layers, all related to shifting our eyes to the finished work of Christ and living our lives out of that dimension.What is it steak is more than just the unity of the church. What is it stake are the souls of men and women who sit under false narratives of the purpose of Christ coming and work. If the church is to model unity and if the church is to live to the glory of God getting this question right is a primary importance.Join us as we explore the multidimensional aspect of the gospel centered around Christ alone. The bridge of one speaks to that reality: it is a bridge in which there is only one – the triune and sovereign Lord, communicated to us in the person of the Son, Jesus Christ.Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

The song children learn to sing early goes: “Arise and shine and give God the glory-glory… children of the Lord.”As children of the Lord we are children of light, men and women “awakened” by the Life of Christ out of darkness. This reality drives, defines and determines the purpose of our way in the world and our engagement with darkness.The church is giving away this glorious calling by compromising its distinction, and allowing the truths of the gospel that alone bring social transformation to be prostituted and stolen by deceptive tactics of Satan.Much like the first Adam gave away Eden for a lie, the church is giving away truth for so called social and political relevance. But the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, has come and reclaimed what Satan has, in deception, stolen. In this episode we are calling the church, in the language of the Apostle Paul, to AWAKEN from its slumber of indifference and compromise; to refuse to allow social constructs to dictate and distract us from ur Biblical and theological purpose: to be lights of the world. We are to live and think as AWAKENED men and women in the gospel, bringing about an AWAKENING of sinners so that they see all of life through the light of the glorious gospel of ChristFind More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

The church must be invested in the areas of social justice, but at what cost? The gospel? Absolutely not! The gospel is not only the message of engagement but the embodiment of engagement. But we must not allow Satan and his minions to co-opt, not a term, but the purpose of the church. We don’t need to be woke; we need to be AWAKENED to her purpose of cultural transformation!Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

In this episode we tackle the increasing idolatry of identity politics. The division that is damaging the witness of the church is on the basis of race now weaponized through politics. At the heart of this episode is a call, indeed a challenge, for Christians to operate out of union and communion with Christ in all areas, including politics. Those who claim Christ but identify themselves with their party affiliation are standing in opposition to the gospel.Long before there was a democrat or republican there was the sovereignty of the Triune Lord. Long after these parties are swallowed up in the eschatological consummation of Glory, there will still be the Triune Lord. He, alone, matters above all and how we engage in any earthly activity must be centered in His fame and glory!It is always to be: Christ Above PoliticsFind More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

What is the major problem in racial division in the church? It is not CRT, BLM Christian Nationalism. Nor is it what side of the aisle one lands. These things are contributing factors but not causal. So what is the major hindrance to racial unity in the church: DELIGHT!We don’t have primarily a race problem or a division problem. Those flow out of a DELIGHT problem. Our unwillingness to live out of a delight in the finished work of Jesus Christ.For some this will sound far too reductionistic or dismissive. They want- dare I say NEED - the problem to be outside of us (our heart and affections) and the solution to be other than devotion to Christ. Yet, man was made for the Lord and when delight in the Lord is distracted chaos of all kinds erupt.Join us to hear how this is THE starting point for a proper diagnosis and a fruitful result.Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast

The history of blacks in this country, though mired in difficulties, oppression and exclusion, has been one that demonstrated our resilience despite such obstacles. This resilience, coupled with a gospel centered view of all of life, positions the church to provide the transformational leadership the necessary to leading the Body to displaying the beauties of the gospel unity.Find More Information by clicking the link below:https://linktr.ee/TheBridgeOfOnePodcast
