Listen "The Bridegroom PART 1 | Pastor Sam Grosso"
Episode Synopsis
What does it really mean that the Church is the Bride of Christ? This biblical metaphor is often misunderstood, watered down, or even avoided altogether. Some turn it into an overly individualistic “me and Jesus” relationship, while others cringe at the intimacy of the language. But covenant and the Bridegroom theme run through the entire story of Scripture — from the prophets to the parables to Revelation’s promise.In this message, we begin our series The Bride by unpacking the deep covenant roots behind this imagery. From Jewish betrothal customs to Jesus’ words at the Last Supper, we see that covenant is more than comfort — it costs, it consecrates, and it calls for exclusivity. Communion isn’t just tradition; it’s covenant. Waiting on Christ isn’t just delay; it’s preparation. And being His Bride isn’t just metaphor; it’s our identity.Join us as we explore:The cost of covenant and the exclusivity it demandsWhy Jesus calls us His Bridegroom and not just “friend”Communion as covenant faithfulness, not empty ritualHow the waiting season is preparation for the wedding feastThe hope of a place Jesus is preparing for His Bride✨ This series isn’t about romanticized worship lyrics or cultural views of marriage — it’s about recovering the biblical weight of covenant. The Bride is not me… it’s us. Together, we are the Bride of Christ.
