Ever wonder, what in the world is God doing on the earth? And how is my life connected to His greater plan? 

The fact is, we may never know everything God is doing while on planet earth, but I can tell you this: you are gifted, talented, called and valuable to God’s master plan. Without your piece in His puzzle, it’s just not complete!

I can also tell you this: your purpose is definitely connected to the Church. The Bible tells us that the church is front and center to Jesus -- and if it’s front and center to Him, it should be front and center to us. 

If you are not already connected to your local church, this is a really good time to get plugged in. Whether your church is gathering in person or online -- there is something you can do to lift the load and support your local pastors. And, as you serve the Lord and build His church, you’ll gain even more insight into your puzzle piece and the special role you play in God’s master plan!

Just in case you were starting to doubt yourself in this crazy year of a global pandemic, U.S. election chaos, economic highs and lows -- and so much more, let me remind you of a few things today:

You have a divine purpose. You have an important role to play in God’s master plan. You were created as God’s masterpiece! You can make a difference with your life. 

Nothing about this year has taken the Lord by surprise -- and I know it’s hard to believe -- but none of it changes your God-given purpose. And that’s why I hope you’ll join me every week for our Basics Tuesdays Bible Study -- we’re jumping into a new series starting today “Getting a Grip on the Basics of Serving God!”

If you stick with me throughout this series (it's just 25 minutes out of your week!), I guarantee God will reveal so much to you about your purpose as you set aside the time to intentionally seek out what His Word says!

You can catch the full message LIVE every Tuesday on Facebook at noon ET or via television (see link in bio for broadcast schedule). You can also tune in ON-DEMAND all week long via YouTube, our podcast or our Smart TV channels (on Roku, iOS TV, Amazon Fire TV or Android TV)! Visit thebasicswithbeth.com to learn more.

Can you make a difference with your life? Can you serve the Lord effectively? You definitely can! 

In fact, the reason we’re still on planet earth and the reason we don’t go straight to heaven the minute we get saved... is that we have a job to do! We have a Great Commission to fulfill! There are lost people to reach. There are disciples to make! 

Today, for our Basics Tuesday Bible Study, let’s talk about how we can walk out the callings and purpose of God on our lives so that we can ultimately make an important dent in eternity.

Way too many Christians are letting the devil eat their lunch and that was never God’s plan. It’s more important than ever that you know what the Bible says about who you are in Christ -- and how to use the weapons and authority Jesus has given us as believers in Him. 

God’s already delivered us from the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13) -- all we have to do is resist and enforce Satan’s defeat. Today, I’ll show you exactly how to do it from the best instruction manual ever written...the Bible! 

Knowing and walking in your authority as a believer in Jesus will absolutely change your life. And -- it’s super basic! 

I hope you’ll join me for today’s episode -- and, at the end, I want to pray with you to experience this overcoming Christian life that is available to you.

If you’re ready to stop living defeated, stressed out and down in the dumps and instead live the overcoming, victorious Christian life -- this message is for you! 

I know how you feel. Truly! I remember what it was like to ride the roller coaster. Some days were amazing and I felt the Lord’s presence, other days I felt like a failure and wasn’t sure if God was for me…

But then, the Lord spoke to my heart decades ago and helped me to uncover these 11 scriptures from His Word that absolutely changed my life. I wrote them on index cards, carried them around with me, memorized them, spoke them outloud and finally BELIEVED them -- and my life has never been the same. 

Join me today as we dig into the Bible and discover the basics of how to live the overcoming Christian life. If I can do it, you can do it too!

The very reason Jesus came to planet earth was so that we might have life -- and have it more abundantly (His words...not mine!) So the question is, what does that mean and how do we actually experience it?

The truth is, God isn’t stingy. His streets are paved with GOLD! And He wants to bless you with abundance...an abundance of peace, joy, life and His goodness. Even in the material and financial areas, God wants you blessed to be a blessing! 

I know that you may have a couple of “yeah...but what about?” questions on this topic -- or maybe you’ve taken issue with “prosperity gospel” or “name it, claim it” preaching in the past, but today, as always, we are going straight to God’s Word to see what He has to say on the matter.

I trust we’ll answer many of your questions and believe you’ll get a fresh revelation from the Lord on how good He is towards you! Today, let’s get a grip on the basics of the abundant life together! 

(Note: If you’re following along in our “Getting A Grip On The Basics” workbook, this lesson is from Chapter 11: How To Experience The Abundant Life.)

If faith is heaven’s currency, how full is your “faith-account?” On earth, we use money to purchase or take possession of things -- but when you’re in business with heaven, it’s faith that’s required! 

The good news is...we’re going to find out today that faith is actually based on something -- and that something is God’s WORD! It may not be the “blind faith” factor that you’ve heard about. Your faith can be solid and certain. Join me today to talk all about it! 

(Note: If you’re following along in our “Getting A Grip On The Basics” workbook, this lesson is from Chapter 10: How To Grow and Develop Your Faith.)

If you’ve been feeling down or weak spiritually, this message is for you. If you’ve got questions about your future, this message is for you. If you’ve got “pent up” prayers and worship on the inside of you, this message is for you! 

Let’s talk today about why we should want to speak in tongues! I hope to show you, from the Bible, why this is actually one of the best gifts the Lord has given to us -- and, I’ll help sort out some common misunderstandings along the way. 

I guarantee, this one aspect of the Christian faith will revolutionize your life in the best possible way. And, you can still be a totally “normal” Christian too. ;)

You may have heard of “speaking in tongues” before -- and have loads of thoughts or opinions  It can also be described as speaking in a prayer language, heavenly language or spiritual language. Today, we’re going straight to God’s Word to see what the Bible actually says about speaking in tongues. 

>> We’re answering BASIC questions like: What is it? When does it happen? Why would you want to do it? Are you supposed to pray this way in public? In private? 

We’ll answer all of these questions and more today during our Basics Tuesday Bible Study -- please join us!

Today, I want to tell you a story of when I was first filled with the Holy Spirit way back in college! It’s actually kind of a funny story…so I think you’ll get a kick out of it and hopefully be encouraged as we continue to study God’s Word and what it says about being “born of” and “filled with” the Holy Spirit (two distinct experiences). 

Plus, we’ll continue talking about why you would even want to be filled with the Holy Spirit and how it all happens! So, tune in -- this is a fun one. :)
