Bridge Community Fellowship Sunday 08-17-25 Worship Service
Building Healthy Mission: Avoiding Distractions and Finishing Well (Titus 3:9-15)
Big Idea for This Week: God calls His church to stay focused on the mission, refuse distractions, and finish well
Sermon Outline:
1. Avoid Pointless Disputes (v.9) - Don’t get caught in arguments that distract from the mission. 2. Address Divisive People Wisely (vv.10–11) - Protect the unity of the church through loving but firm correction. 3. Live with Missional Intentionality (vv.12–14) - Support gospel partners and devote yourself to good works that meet urgent needs. 4. End with Grace (v.15) - Healthy mission finishes well in loving fellowship and gospel partnerships
Application Questions for Study and Discussion:
• What are some modern “pointless disputes” that can distract churches from gospel mission? What are some ways that you can get distracted from the tasks God has given you to accomplish?
• Why is it important to address divisive people, and how can we do it with wisdom and grace? What happens if we never address divisive people? How can addressing, while awkward, be loving?
• How can you personally live with greater missional intentionality this week? What is one “good work” you can pursue to meet an urgent need around you?
• Where do you need to let grace be the “last word” in a relationship, conversation, or ministry situation?

You have heard this SASF axiom: "A good dad can't be present in children's fiction." This is because if he was, there'd be no story for the kids to take care of -- BUT... there are a few exceptions...
Brian and Nate search for those elusive MG/YA unicorns: the good and present father.
What about To Kill a Mockingbird's Atticus Finch? Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist.
Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure.
Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams??- Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.
For decades, we’ve been told that humans and chimpanzees are 99% genetically identical a claim repeated in museums, textbooks and by science celebrities like Bill Nye. But new genomic research tells a very different story. In this episode, Dr. Casey Luskin joins to reveal why the “1% difference” statistic is outdated, misleading, and scientifically inaccurate. We discuss how this number became one of evolution’s most popular talking points, why it persists despite being debunked, and what the latest studies actually show about human-chimp DNA.
