  • Three Truths About the Resurrection

    Three Truths About the Resurrection
    Apr 5 2026
    What must it have been like for the women who went to Jesus's tomb on Easter Day? They had been preparing themselves to say their final "goodbye" to Jesus - enacted through the burial rite of bringing spices and perfume to Jesus's body. What they weren't prepared for was the scene they discovered - no stone in front of the tomb, no body, and no idea what had happened! What were they to do? Angels provided the answer. Don't look for the risen among the dead - he has risen!Pastor Andy Lancaster invites us to join the angels in making the same declaration, and to share the experiences of Jesus's followers in the days following. As well as the joy and excitement of the women, we can join the eleven disciples, fearfully locked in a room. We can hear Jesus speaking into our own "locked rooms" of fear, lost hope, and past experiences to which we need Jesus to speak his words of power and comfort: "Peace be with you!"Pastor Andy goes on to share three truths about the resurrection of Jesus. Because of this event in history we have forgiveness from our past, and the peace with God that follows from this. We also have fellowship with the Holy Spirit day by day in the present, a fellowship that Pastor Andy describes as a “holy alliance” as we have the privilege of joining with Jesus in his global mission. And we have peace about the future, where death is not the extinguishing of light, but turning off the lamp because the dawn has come.Peace to you this Easter!We welcome you to Bridge Community Church, Leeds!We invite you to join our online community!Like us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsFacebookJoin our Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/BCCOnlineCommunityGroupFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsInstagramFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsTwitterVisit our Website: https://www.bccleeds.org/If you would like to give to further our work.

  • Palm Sunday

    Palm Sunday
    Mar 29 2026
    Pastor Jacqui Richmond takes us into the crowds on Palm Sunday as we walk with Jesus into Jerusalem. We see Jesus fulfil the prophecy of Zechariah Chapter 9, riding on a donkey, symbolising the nature of his kingship demonstrated by humility and service. We hear the praise of the disciples and the crowds - praise that cannot be silenced even though it offended the sensibilities of the Pharisees. In the midst of the cheering and celebration we pause to see Jesus weeping as he foresees the forthcoming destruction of Jerusalem.Pastor Jacqui invites us to engage with the lessons from this account. Like the disciples sent to find the donkey for Jesus, what is Jesus sending us to do, and what resources is he providing for us to fulfil our mission? As the disciples laid their cloaks at Jesus' feet, so we too can lay before him our own cares, concerns, and the direction of lives. We can trust him to care for us and guide us, knowing that whilst the future is unclear to us, he sees it all and knows the best paths for us to take. Can we too feel the pain of Jesus as we pray for those who are lost outside of Christ? And on this Palm Sunday Pastor Jacqui encourages us to join in the prayer of God's people, echoing down the ages, as we too bring our pray and praises - "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"Like us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsFacebookJoin our Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/BCCOnlineCommunityGroupFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsInstagramFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsTwitterVisit our Website: https://www.bccleeds.org/If you would like to give to further our work.

  • Hosanna!

    Hosanna!
    Mar 22 2026
    Where would we have been in the crowds when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on donkey for the last week of his life? Would we, like many of them, have thrown at his feet the cloaks that were the signs of our identity, importance, and our place in society? What would we have been thinking when we shouted out "Hosanna!" Pastor Bawa takes us into the crowd on this momentous day to show us the significance of what Jesus was doing, of the actions of the people who lined the route to Jerusalem, and of the city itself. Pastor Bawa explains the meaning of the cries of Hosanna, Hallelujah and Maranatha. We want our Lord to come and establish His kingdom (Maranatha) and to praise His interventions in history (Hallelujah). Before all that we need to cry Hosanna! - Lord save us! Pastor Bawa explains the significance of the titles people used of Jesus and of those He used of Himself - Son of Man, Son of God, Emmanuel - and most importantly for this moment in Jesus' life - Son of David.Pastor Bawa shows us that Jesus introduced this week, and His part in it, not with a sermon, but with a vivd enacted demonstration - riding into the city not on a warhorse, but on a humble and gentle donkey. Pastor Bawa asks us to consider whether we, like the disciples, are ready to be commissioned for service to prepare the way for Jesus, and whether we are of those will cry "Crucify!" or of those who will cry out "Hosanna to the Son of David!"Take some time with this account of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem as you begin your own preparation for the Easter season.We welcome you to Bridge Community Church, Leeds!We invite you to join our online community!Like us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsFacebookJoin our Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/BCCOnlineCommunityGroupFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsInstagramFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/BCCLeedsTwitterVisit our Website: https://www.bccleeds.org/If you would like to give to further our work.
