 I Have A Question, Bridges' new Sunday morning sermon series is underway. The series features sermons that address questions asked by people in the community. Bridges conducted a one question survey at the Ozaukee County Fair and other venues asking, What question about God, Jesus, the Bible, salvation, heaven and hell, relationships and other faith-related topics would like addressed by a pastor?
