Bethesda Christian Church Sermon of the Week

Through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to go and make disciples. The same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus lives within every believer.

A disciple is someone who keeps returning to the place behind Jesus following His lead. Is Jesus someone you’re willing to follow?

The most important question you will ever answer is, "Who do you say Jesus is?" The conversation doesn't end there. It is possible to know who Jesus is, have both feet on His team, and still misunderstand what He wants His team to be doing. Will you submit our ways to His will?

The church is equipped for victory because we’re on team Jesus! We are called to bring light into darkness. The gates of Hell cannot overcome the Kingdom of God. Pray for those in your life to have their hearts opened to Jesus.

Communion is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant Passover. Jesus' blood is sufficient to take away our sins. Communion gives us the opportunity to reflect and remember on the sacrifice that Jesus made.

The Word of God outlasts everything. The same Word still speaks to our human condition no matter the era we are in. Do not let the loudness of the world drawn out the voice of God in your life. Take every opportunity to tell others of His unchanging Word that brings eternal life.

The question for all of us, not just fathers, is not "What is your Title?" but "Are you faithful to those God has placed in your life?" The church is not strengthened by people with Titles, it is strengthened by people who are faithful to one another.

All Christians are called to share the Gospel with those around us. Are we contributing to the Kingdom of God, or are we simply consuming? Consumers are spectators, but contributors are participants. What step can you take today to move from being a consumer to being a contributor?

Jesus remains faithful even when we make mistakes. The question is not have you ever failed, but will you turn to Him in your failure?

Have we died with Christ? And are we living with Him? Baptism is more than a symbol. It is an image of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We can endure because He is faithful.
