Bay Ridge Christian Church - Teaching

The fully blessed life is given by God to the person who fears the Lord, delights in His Word, grows in godly character, and focuses on serving  others.

As we ponder the great works of the Lord in redeeming and giving  us His covenantal commands, we respond with heartfelt praise and willing  obedience.

Because of God’s love, every person who has confessed Christ as Lord has been given a Divine confidence of salvation from God. This Divine confidence is seen in our love for God and our fellow man.

Jonah’s unrepentant rebellion regarding God’s mercy towards the Ninevites (‘sinners’ whom Jonah does not think deserve mercy) comes to the surface in this final chapter, but God in His grace continues to pursue the rebellious prophet to the end.

Rich and Ginger share about their ministry in Niger, West Africa.

God sends flawed rebel servants like Jonah and us to proclaim His Word to rebels who do not know Him so that they might turn to Him and be saved.

Jonah’s prayer of thanksgiving from inside the fish is a model of crying out to God with His Word, but it also reveals Jonah’s lack of personal repentance and his lack of compassion for the lost.

Jonah was called to proclaim God’s word to the city of Nineveh, but he rebelled and tried to flee from God and His call, but God relentlessly pursued him and even the sailors whose lives Jonah endangered by his rebellion.

Jesus as our Great High Priest was able to offer the perfect eternal offering on our behalf.

We are called to build upon the foundation laid by the apostles so that we can help the Church grow for the glory of God.

Churches can not grow, produce fruit and multiply if they are divided by pride, walk in disunity with other believers, lack compassion for the lost, or are not willing to pay the cost to follow and serve Christ.

We must learn to focus on the Kingdom of God, and not the fears and worries of this world. Otherwise we will fail to realize that which God has called us to become.

The resurrection of Jesus gives a living hope for troubled times for all those who are reborn through Him.

BRCC is called to glorify God by building and planting local churches that are biblically based, Christ centered, caring communities, seeking to know Christ and make Him known.

In the New Covenant, believers freely give finances in response to God’s grace, in order to support the work and growth of the church.

Garey discusses his vision for RCC and how God is strategically calling RCC to be sent forth by BRCC to fulfill the mission God has given to them.

God calls all of us to be part of church planting, either as radical supporters or radical planting team members.

The Church moves forward only by the power of the Holy Spirit, and our connection to the Spirit is based upon the power of our prayer life.

To plant churches and spread the light of the Gospel into areas under the influence of Satan, we must be full of the power of the Holy Spirit.
