God’s Love | Wild, Unshakeable, All Consuming

Hey SCC Family !

Welcome to The Bridge Weekly Vol. 2, Issue 2! It’s the second Thursday of 2025, and we’re excited to keep this journey going with you. How’s the new year treating you so far? We hope you’ve had a chance to settle in and start building rhythms that help you stay connected to God’s love and presence.

This past Sunday, Tracy reminded us of the incredible power of God’s love—a love that’s not just something to know about but something that truly changes how we live. She shared how this love moves us past fear and into trust, reshaping our actions and relationships. One way to stay connected to that love is by building daily rhythms, like practicing the “daily examen,” to reflect on where we’ve seen God at work. It’s not about the rhythm itself but creating space to meet with Jesus and let His love work in our hearts.

If you missed Sunday’s message or want to dig deeper, you can check it out HERE. Tracy’s latest Listening & Responding episode is also worth checking out. She talks about finding simple ways to connect with God’s presence daily. Watch Here. Let’s start this year by leaning into His love and letting it guide everything we do!

This Sunday, Tracy continues with God’s Love—All Consuming. This message dives into the transformative power of God’s love—a love that refines like fire, consumes all in its path, and shapes us to burn with passion for Him. From the wilderness moments where God draws near to the deep wounds His love heals, this is an invitation to surrender and be changed. Are we tending the fire of His love in our hearts? Let’s come ready to be ignited!

This week’s blog, God’s Love: Wild, Unshakable, All-Consuming, reminds us of a love that goes far beyond comfort—it transforms. God’s love is like a fire that purifies and renews, shaping us into who we’re meant to be. It’s a love that steps into our broken places, not to condemn but to heal and restore.

Even in the wilderness seasons, His love is there, drawing us closer and reminding us that we’re never alone. It’s a love that asks us to trust Him, to let go of what’s holding us back, and to let His presence fill every part of our lives.
