Bethesda Christian Church Sermon of the Week

Pastor Julie shares with us a heartfelt message, referencing Luke 7:36-50 and sharing with us that recognizing the deepest need for our eternal soul, should cause our hearts to overflow with love and thanksgiving “to the one” who forgives sin - our Savior. There is no greater gift than the forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus.

In his message, All About Jesus: Scars - Pastor Pat reminds us about the importance and symbolic nature of the lamb throughout the Bible, referencing John the Baptist and how he specifically called Jesus, “The Lamb of God” - a symbolic name that signified that Jesus was sent by God to atone for our sins. In this message we are reminded that despite our scars in life, Jesus knows them and loves them and we should never be ashamed.

In his second message of the “All About Jesus” series, Pastor Pat delivers a message about how we are all lost without Christ, and that Jesus’ main purpose for coming to earth was to deliver all of us - the lost, wandering, distressed, senseless - for eternal purpose, to save us and show us we are worthy.

Pastor Pat opens the month of October with a message asking us who Jesus is, cataloging the different historical perspectives and theories, ultimately securing the message with the one true answer and powerful reminder: Jesus is the Messiah - the son of the living God.

Pastor Pat closes the month of September and the “Be Bold” series with an important message, drawn from the life and letters of Paul, about the importance of prayer, being wise in how we interact with others, and making the most of every opportunity to live a life like Christ, proclaiming His truth!

In his last message of the series, “Be Bold,” for Missions Month, Pastor Pat urges us to be and expounds upon the importance of being a servant of Christ in all we do, and that having a mindset like Jesus will enable us to speak His name boldly, living out His mission with passion and love.

Pastor Pat returns to the series, “Be Bold,” discussing the importance of being confident in Christ, reminding us about Rev. Barry Allen’s message two weeks ago and the dangers of complacency, emphasizing that humility, prayer, and sharing God’s word will always help us grow in faith and speak about Jesus with confidence.

BCC and Hope Church come together to celebrate unity in Christ with its “We Are One” service. In his message, Pastor Pat reminds us of Jesus’ prayer the night before he was crucified, expounding on the hope that through his death, His mission - His Message - would be carried on by us and that we would be empowered to come together, speak truth boldly, and be united as Christ-followers in faith.

Rev. Barry Allen opens the month of September - Missions Month at BCC - with a message about complacency and the dangers that this type of attitude can have on our heart and our faith, referencing the Laodiceans as an example, and urges us to open our hearts fully to God and the calling He has placed on our lives.
