Sometimes we don't get a miracle. Sometimes God does not respond as we expect. Be a seeker, especially when a crisis comes in and rocks your faith. God does not tremble at our questions. God doesn't mind our questions when we come sincerely seeking. Your faith had a beginning, now build your faith.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Luke 20:25 He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Jesus spoke of a human government, and a higher order above human government, God's government. Jesus used a coin to remind his adversaries of a timeless principle: We've been made in the image of God. We bear God's image. The question we have to ask …

Jesus responded to the Pharisees and teachers of the law in Matthew 5 saying, "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Sometimes we see ourselves as the Pharisees. We believe we are righteous on our own, however, all are in need of repentance. As Christians, we share the same mission, to call sinners. Jesus sacrificed His…

Our pain and loss can sometimes prevent us from seeing God. We often will go to someone or something to give us relief. Jesus is standing there calling out to us. He is the resurrection and the life.

Who do you say I am is a question that everyone will have to answer. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, and Jesus is our Savior.

Jesus promised that he would not leave us alone, and that promise was fulfilled with the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus, we are all one. Jesus made it possible by giving his life on the cross as a sacrifice for the sin of the world making it possible for all to receive forgiveness. It is possible for all to enter, but there is only one way. By faith, believing that Jesus has opened the way. Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor…

If we are going to be a church that does what the church did when the church first did it, then we have to be individuals who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Repent and do the things you did at first.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

In Jesus, we have received a new heart, spirit, outlook on life, new way of living and that includes how material resources are handled. The early church excelled in the grace of giving.

In follow up to last week's message, Pastor Pat talks about how even though the world has changed since the first century church, Jesus Christ and His word has not changed.

Our great invisible God became visible to us and for us. The Son, Jesus, is the image of the invisible God. Jesus is the image of the Father, and we are called to be conformed to the image of Jesus, the Son and shine his light.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Focusing on getting the impossible can take our focus off of what God truly desires. God's will for us is to recognize Him in the good and the bad, the possible and the impossible, in the best of times and the lamentable times. The conclusion is "all things are possible" within the context of God's purpose and will for you and for humanity.…

The supernatural God entered the natural world so us in the natural could become supernatural. 1 John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

What is the legacy that you are leaving behind? The answer to today's hard question is: "Yes...It will continue" but you get to decide "what" will continue.

Does God love us? You can find the answer in Psalm 48. God's love is on display as the triumph of God. Look around, there is evidence everywhere, consider and see all the evidence around and remember the victories God has given you in the past.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

God uses suffering to open us to a greater and larger view of who he is, to see his glory, and to see his love instead of wrath, instead of "or else" punishment. Pastor Pat builds off of last Sunday's message by contrasting the last verse of Malachi with the last verse of Revelation. Revelation 22:11 "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's peopl…

Sometimes we may wonder, "What’s the point of serving God when things don’t seem to go my way?" The promise from Malachi 3-4, is he does hear, he remembers, he treasures, and eventually he will heal us eternally. Persevere until that day!โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Jesus challenged us in Matthew 15 with the same words in Isaiah 29 saying our hearts need to be engaged, not just what we say or how we act. Don't let your serving become duty. Take time to nourish your heart by spending time with the Lord in your own personal life.โดย The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

The value of the gift signifies the value of the relationship. Is the offering we are giving to God our best?
