Judges 7:24-25 The world has always been obsessed with outward boast and human glory. Sadly, much of the Western Church is on par with this thinking. If a man has charisma and can hold an audience captive with stories and personal anecdotes, we make him a minister! The pulpits up and down the length and breadth of this country are full of such men.…

As we kickoff our Advent series, Pastor Pat talks about how Jesus is the ultimate gift. One of the gifts from Jesus is the promise of heaven. Jesus tells us, "unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." What would it look like for you to walk in humility like a child and to have that joy and wonder.…

Part 10 Jehovah’s Witnesses have long been a cult that has aggressively opposed the doctrine of hell, as can be seen in their literature and publications. Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, was himself an ardent opponent of this doctrine, as has been every presiding president over Jehovah’s organisation si…

Associate Pastor Devin Warfield shares from Psalm 27. This Psalm of lament contains multiple elements: Lament, Petition, Confidence, and a Vow. In our lament we can trust the Lord is our salvation and The Lord’s Presence is our Stronghold. November 17, 2024โดย Bethesda Baptist Church Durham

Judges 7:15-23 The Western Church in this hour wants method and process. If the Church down the road marches around the walls AND God gives them the victory, we write a book on it “How to take a city for God!” But in the valley on the borders of Moab, God had His people dig ditches!! In the wilderness of Tekoa, the people praised the Lord! At the R…

As Thanksgiving is upon us, sometimes it can be hard to be grateful. Pastor Pat challenges us to not allow your heart to be robbed of gratitude. Gratitude flows naturally when we see Jesus' sacrifice as the ultimate gift. Gratitude is something we should make apart of our daily life, not just on Thanksgiving Day.…

Part 9 When one begins collating the teachings of the Christian cults, it’s no coincidence that there are many shared common beliefs that the Church has long rejected as heretical. The doctrine in question in this ninth teaching part is no different. While it may not be on the same damnable par as the rejection of the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Ch…

Judges 7:9-15 If God is going to get the glory from your life, it is going to require that we trust Him!!! There’s no escaping this reality!! When the call of God comes to service, it never comes in a neatly packaged parcel with a cute sticky label on the front. We want all the I’s dotted and the T’s crossed. We want it safe and predictable, secure…

We are called to be ambassadors of Jesus wherever we go. We look to Jesus as the example on how to live, serve, and engage with the world around us. Our mission is to represent Christ in every setting, including that difficult family gathering.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Part 8 So far, the studies in this series have largely focused on the person of Jesus Christ. Whilst Jehovah’s Witnesses are monotheistic in belief, they are aggressively antitrinitarian in expression. They, like us, believe in one eternal God. The point of divergence comes however when they maintain that the singular being of God is without a plur…

Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues the series through the book of Acts. What must one do to be saved? They must admit their sin. Believe what Jesus on the cross and resurrected again. Confess. November 10, 2024โดย Bethesda Baptist Church Durham

Judges 7:1-8 If I were to ask why you so desire a move of God in this hour I wonder what you would say? When I speak of a move of God, I mean a heaven-sent revival that would turn the hearts of compromising lukewarm Christians back to God in fervent zeal and ardent love. I mean a heaven-sent revival that would awaken the sleeping dead and sweep who…

Treasure Chest | Message 2: The Poverty Spirit | Pastor Chad Dingess | 11/10/2024 by Bethesda Churchโดย Bethesda Church

Jesus calls us all to place Him above all else as seen in Matthew 19 including family. We must speak in truth and grace which is a balance. Jesus showed love through compassion, patience, and grace, even while holding people accountable to teaching God's truth, and we are to do the same. We must trust God can work through that love in ways we may n…

Part 7 The long-anticipated event in the calendar of the Christian Church is not Christmas or Easter, but the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Paul writing to Titus, refers to this event as “…that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Tit. 2:13). Peter refers to this day as “…the day of the Lord” (2 …

Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues through the book of Acts. How can we respond Biblically to suffering? We respond biblically with prayer. We respond biblically with praise to God. We respond biblically with compassion. We respond biblically with witnessing. November 3, 2024โดย Bethesda Baptist Church Durham

Paul tells the church that we are not to judge those who do not believe or follow the ways of Jesus. We are called to keep each other accountable who have professed that Jesus is Lord. Always make sure that you walk in humility, recognizing your own need for grace while also holding each other accountable.…

Judges 6:33-40 The men God sets His hand upon for use aren’t supermen; they’re human men like you and me, fraught with human weakness and marred by many insecurities.

Jesus, People, Mission Recorded on September 29th, 2024

Part 6 The dictionary definition of the word resurrection is “the act of bringing someone back to life”. Resurrection is not resuscitation. When someone is resuscitated, they are brought back to life very soon after death. Resurrection, however, is bringing again to life after the person has been legally pronounced dead. In both cases, the bringing…

Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues through the book of Acts in chapter 16 as he compares the intentions for men between Jesus and the enemy. The Enemy's Intentions seek to bind, abuse, deceive, and destroy. Jesus' intention is to deliver mankind from sin. October 27, 2024โดย Bethesda Baptist Church Durham

Judges 6:25-32 Before Gideon could reform a nation, he had to first reform his house!! The altar of Baal MUST come down and an altar for Yahweh be established!! See where revival begins! Admittedly, this is a costly ask — it always is with God. Can I encourage you — PAY THE PRICE AND GO THROUGH WITH GOD, it will be the best thing you ever do!!!…

Jesus modeled what it looks like to give compassion and not condemnation. There is a balance of both grace and truth. Jesus offers a pathway to repentance and restoration. We as the church are called to follow Christ's example by offering love and mercy, and encouraging people to to turn from their sin to be transformed in Christ.…
