Christmas at The Ridge - Week One |
December 9, 2010 |
| The first message in the series focused on two things….1) Jesus and 2) You (us…all of us). Christmas is about Jesus and about us. We would have no Christmas if it wasn’t for my sin. Jesus came to die.
We should not talk about just the birth of Christ and leave out the part that Jesus was born so that He could die.
When Jesus came, it changed everything. He established a community that was different from any that had ever been seen. Pete Wilson put it like this….Jesus established a community where everyone was welcome because nobody was perfect.
Anything is possible with God. Anything. Do you believe that?

Storytellers - Nov 28th |
December 1, 2010 |

Paul used the letter to the Philippians to encourage them, so Sunday, I gave Ridge Church 3 encouragements; Be humble servants, be givers and share your stories. It was all taken from the book of Philippians.
The best example we have in these encouragements is Jesus. Look to Jesus.
I asked 3 questions; 1…Who can you serve NOW? 2…Will your greatest gift this Christmas be to Jesus or will it have a bow on it? 3…Who can you share your story with?

From the Ashes - Week 4 |
October 13, 2010 |
| This past Sunday we finished up our series called From The Ashes. My goal and prayer for this series and all the series we’ve ever done and will ever do at the Ridge is that the word will go forth and take up root in the hearts of those who hear it. During this series, I saw the word do just that. I’m excited to see what happens next as people lean into Christ, elevate Him, and step out with simple obedience.
There is no answer to how do you fix a broken dream, shattered life, or unmet expectation. I never claimed to have answer. But I believe God uses those burnt and broken things in our lives as a catalyst to making us more aware of Him and for raising us up out of the ashes. |

From the Ashes - Week 3 |
October 9, 2010 |
| We continued our series From The Ashes this week with a message called Resurrection of Hope. It was one my most favorite messages to EVER preach at our church simply because it’s all about God breathing life into seeming dead HOPE - Pastor Bobby Williams |

From the Ashes - Week 2 |
September 29, 2010 |
| It was week #2 of From the Ashes and probably the most practical message out of the series this past week. Week #2 was entitled, “Dreams make terrible gods.” Many times, we’ll hold our dreams as ultimate in our life, even over Jesus. Generally, we never notice this until we search our hearts. Sunday was all about searching and replacing. Searching out the idols in our lives and replacing them with Jesus. - Pastor Bobby Williams |

Faith |
September 7, 2010 |
| This past Sunday we took a deep breath and focused our attention on faith. Later this year, we’ll do a series dealing with faith issues but I felt as though this Sunday we all needed an injection of hope and faith from the scripture. So for the second week in a row, we were in a timeout mode; no specific series, nothing over the top planned, just the Gospel and what God was speaking to me in my heart for our people.
I always share what God is doing in me through the Gospel, but this was fresh, as in the last week. Most Sundays I’ve had weeks or months even to let something go to work in me before I present it to the church. This week I just felt as though people needed here that if we’ll step out and get our feet wet, God will step in (Joshua 3). - Pastor Bobby Williams |
