Subscribe to this podcast for weekly Bible-based messages that teach how to live that out. And if you’re looking to go deeper, check out our Beyond the Sermon (BTS) episodes. These supplements to our weekly message will feature a Q&A with the pastor that provides additional context, insight and application steps based on the week’s message.
Beyond the Sermon: How Can We Experience Real Change in How We Think, What We Say and What We Do?
While knowledge of God and the Bible is important to our spiritual growth, it doesn't necessarily indicate our level of spiritual maturity. The Bible uses a different gauge: the fruit of the Spirit. So how do we move beyond mere information to tangible transformation in our lives? How can we begin to see Christlikeness in how we think, what we say and what we do?
Join Ridge Director of Strategic Planning and Communication Dayne Logan and BTS Host Will Herron as they discuss these questions and more on this week's Beyond the Sermon.

What Makes a Church Thrive?
As the Israelites are settling in to the Promised Land, Joshua is surely focused on the nation of Israel, how it is to function, and obedience to the Mosaic covenant. Put another way, he's starting to layout the blueprint for God's church. Given that, we'll look at Ephesians — a letter about what God calls His churches to do. It's also about how we — as members of His church — can help or hinder the mission God has Given us. Message by Dayne LoganScripture referenced: Ephesians

Beyond the Sermon: How Does The Reality of Heaven Impact our Present?
The Bible teaches clearly that, for followers of Jesus, our future lies with God in Heaven. Beyond that, lies a new Heaven and new Earth when God draws history to a close. But how should this future hope impact our present day-to-day? How do we strike the right balance between looking ahead while actively fulfilling God's purpose today?
Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS host Will Herron as they discuss these questions and more on this week’s Beyond the Sermon.
