Bethesda Christian Church Sermon of the Week

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.

We are called to be witnesses wherever we go. In order to carry that out, we need the power of the Holy Spirit to equip and lead us. Share your story of how Jesus has helped you.

As Christians, our citizenship is in heaven first before any earthly citizenship. We are called to live peaceful and quiet lives to create space for the gospel to be shared to those around us. Lets be a people who pray for those in authority over us.

We live in a culture that is all about instant gratification and busyness. Fasting helps us to slow down, say no to temptation, and deepen our relationship with God. There is no greater reward than to spend time in the presence of God in worship and prayer.

In our culture, blaming and pointing the finger is a natural reaction. Daniel teaches us that the people of God do not look to the Lord and aim to blame, but come to Him trusting not in our righteousness, but in His great mercy, leading with confession.

God created us for relationship. Through Jesus, He doesn’t save us into isolation but into His Kingdom and His people. The local church is God’s gift for our good, our growth, our protection, and His glory.

Christianity is more than just your own salvation and walk with Jesus but also as a ministry that’s outward. In Christ, you are saved and sent to share the hope and salvation that Jesus offers.

God values children and so should we. How will you help children draw closer to Jesus?

Jesus came because our condition was terminal. Our problem isn’t just behavioral—it’s fatal. And to deal with what’s fatal, we don’t just need help, we need life. Too often, we miss the life Jesus offers because we’re looking for a miracle and miss the meaning behind why He came. Do you believe He is the resurrection and the life—not just someday, but today?

On Palm Sunday, the people missed the hope that Jesus offered. They were focused on the temporary, not the eternal. True hope isn’t found in what we want Jesus to do for us—it’s found in what He has already done for us. Let’s not miss that Jesus has given us eternal hope, something that will never spoil, fade, or perish.
