New Bridge Church - Pastors Jeff Lyle & Dustin Pennington

It has been my observation that many, if not most, Christians do not seem to thoroughly enjoy their relationship with God. They have accepted Christ, they have a hope for Heaven when they die, they have modified some of their behaviors to fit the expectation of the Church…but they seem to have a disconnect from the very One whose heart is full of love and joy. The difference between this type of Christian and the one who is excited and enjoying their walk with God may be found in the gap between viewing yourself as a servant or as a son. This message from an ancient letter by the Apostle Paul calls us to move further into the awareness of who we are in Jesus. Knowing your identity in Christ shapes your enjoyment of Christ. In our Kingdom awareness, we may begin as servants, but we must arrive at sonship.
