Part 1 - Jonah (Jim Funari)

This Is The Way - Part 2 (Chris Brown)
Following Jesus isn’t less than belief—it’s certainly more. So, what does it mean to follow in the way of Jesus, really? We’ll redefine what it means by recapturing what it meant when Jesus first extended the invitation. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive

Part 1 - My Story My Song (Chris Brown)
Since ancient times, music has been integral to worship–which is why it's important to understand the message behind the songs we sing.

Death to the King (Chris Brown)
As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
Part 4 - Breathing Room (Chris Brown)
In our attempt to get the most out of life, it’s easy to lose control of our lives. For most of us, breathing room feels more like a luxury than a necessity - especially in our relationships. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive

Part 4 - Too Good to Miss (Chris Brown)
We all carry regrets tied to moments and opportunities we didn’t recognize until they were gone. Too Good to Miss is an invitation to slow down, refocus, and make sure we don’t miss what truly matters. We're talking about 3 things you can't afford to miss. The third one -- Don't Miss Family. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive

Too Good to Miss - Part 1 (Jon Rouleau)
We all carry regrets tied to moments and opportunities we didn’t recognize until they were gone. Too Good to Miss is an invitation to slow down, refocus, and make sure we don’t miss what truly matters. It points to three things we simply can’t afford to miss and shows how deception, distraction, and disobedience quietly rob us of them, calling us to live with clarity now so regret doesn’t get the final word later. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
Made for More (Chris Brown)
January has a way of exposing the quiet questions we try to ignore. The gap between who we are and who we hoped we’d be. The sense that effort alone isn’t enough. What if that tension isn’t failure, but an invitation? What if you weren’t made to simply improve your life, but to live it with purpose? Made For More. This is where 2026 begins. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive

Right in the Eye - Part 6 (Chris Brown)
"It's my life, I can do what I want, when I want, with whom I want . . . as long as nobody gets hurt." This is what we tell ourselves. But what if it's not true? What if our desire to do what is right in our own eyes has major consequences for us, for the people with us, for the people who love us, and for the people coming after us? www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive

Part 7 - What's a Christian Anyway? (Chris Brown)
Ever wish you could talk someone out of being a “Christian”—just so you could invite them back into the real thing? In this message, we look at what it means to find our way home in faith. Through the Creed’s final words—“We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come”—we discover a hope that doesn’t discard broken things but restores them. Christianity isn’t about escaping this world; it’s about God making all things new—and inviting you into that restoration story. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
Part 6 - What's a Christian Anyway? (Chris Brown)
Ever wonder why Christians can look—and sound—so different? From politics to denominations, it can feel like everyone’s claiming to represent Jesus but standing on opposite sides. In this week’s message, we explore what it means to be part of one holy, worldwide, unified church—anchored in history, committed to the future, and powered by grace. The faith isn’t fragile, and there’s a place for you in the story. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
Part 5 - What's a Christian Anyway? (Chris Brown)
In a world where “Christian” can mean just about anything depending on who you ask, in this series we’re trying to cut through the noise together. We’re exploring what it actually means to follow Jesus—beyond politics, opinions, and ideologies—and rediscovering the core of our faith through the lens of the ancient Nicene Creed. It’s about unity, clarity, and an open invitation to everyone still figuring it out. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or are just curious, you’re welcome in the conversation. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
What's a Christian, Anyway? - Part 4 (Chris Brown)
What if the story of Jesus didn’t end with the cross? The Creed reminds us: “On the third day he rose again…” The resurrection wasn’t just a miracle—it was a promise kept. And when Jesus ascended, it wasn’t about leaving, it was about taking His rightful throne and sending us His Spirit. This week we explore how the resurrection, ascension, and promised return give us unity, hope, and power for today. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
What's a Christian, Anyway? - Part 3 (Chris Brown)
Christianity isn’t about sameness—it started with a wildly diverse crowd united under one banner: Jesus. In this message, we unpack the Creed’s bold claim: “We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ.” His story is history, but it’s also an invitation—your story, my story, our story. www.ridgechurchclt.orgFacebook.com/ridgechurchcltInstagram.com/ridgechurchcltYoutube.com/@ridgechurchcltRidge Thrive
