Bethlehem Church

Dan Hyun is the Director of Formation and Health at the BCM/D, and we were privileged to have him with us for Bethlehem's 10 Year Anniversary. Dan gives a message called "The Legacy of Presence" and speaks about the Ministry of Barnabas.

Genesis 13:5– 14:24 shows Abram learning what faith looks like when God’s promise requires patience. While Lot sees what looks good and takes it for himself, Abram releases control, remains in the land God promised, and trusts God to provide the blessing in His time. In this message, we see that faith does not grasp for what God has promised to give, and that patience is an active expression of tr...

Genesis 11:27–12:9 marks another fresh start in the biblical story as God calls Abraham out of Babylon and into a life shaped by promise. Sarah’s barrenness sets the stage for a truth that will define Abraham’s story: God’s promise begins where human ability ends. In this message, we see Abraham presented as a new beginning after Babel, with God renewing the blessing of creation and promising that...

Genesis 11 shows humanity once again trying to secure blessing, identity, security, and access to the divine on its own terms. At Babel, people gather to build a city, make a name for themselves, and resist being scattered—but the very project meant to secure their future becomes the source of their ruin. In this message, we see how Babel repeats the pattern of Eden: God offers the good, humanity...

Genesis 10 may look like a simple genealogy, but it is actually a theological map of the nations and a reminder that God’s plan has always had the whole world in view. In this message, we explore the significance of the seventy nations, the rise of Nimrod and Babylon, and how Genesis begins preparing us for Abraham—the one through whom God will bring blessing back to the nations. We also see that...

Genesis 9:18–29 shows that even after the flood, humanity’s deepest problem remains unchanged. Noah steps into a renewed world almost like a new Adam, yet the familiar pattern of fruit, nakedness, shame, and curse quickly returns. In this message, we explore the difficult story of Noah, Ham, and Canaan, what may lie behind the curse of Canaan, and why this passage has been tragically misused throu...

Genesis 7–9 shows God judging a corrupted world, preserving Noah through the waters, and establishing a covenant rooted not in human performance, but in His own faithfulness. In this message, we see that being remembered by God does not always mean immediate release, that waiting can itself be an act of faith, and that worship is the proper response to mercy. Even after the flood, humanity still n...

Genesis 6:5–22 shows a world consumed by sin, yet met by a God who is both grieved and gracious. In this message, Noah’s ark becomes a picture of the salvation found in Jesus Christ—the true refuge from judgment and the only safe place for those who repent and believe. Just as people in Noah’s day continued eating, drinking, and living as though nothing would change, we are warned not to mistake G...

Genesis 6:1–8 introduces one of the Bible’s most mysterious passages: the sons of God, the Nephilim, and a supernatural rebellion that deepened the corruption of the world before the flood. In this message, we explore why the “sons of God” are best understood as members of the heavenly host, how they rejected the boundaries established by God, and why the Nephilim became symbols of violent power a...

Genesis 5:1-6:4 confronts us with the reality of death while pointing us toward the life found in walking with God. Generation after generation ends with the same words—“and he died”—until the pattern is interrupted by Enoch, a man remembered not for living the longest, but for walking faithfully with God. In this message, we see that humanity still bears God’s image after Eden, yet remains under...

Genesis 4:17–26 shows what life east of Eden looks like: God still restrains chaos with mercy, allows human culture and society to develop, and yet reminds us that none of it can save us. In this message, we see Cain’s line building cities, developing tools, music, and order in a fallen world, while the deeper hope of humanity rests not in progress, success, or self-made security, but in the promi...

Genesis 4:1–17 shows what life in exile looks like when sin is allowed to rule the heart. In this message, we follow Cain and Abel as two brothers living under the same broken conditions but responding in very different ways—one with sincere, sacrificial worship, and the other with half-hearted devotion that gives way to anger, violence, and deeper exile. Cain’s story shows that separation from Go...

Genesis 3 shows that the fall is far more than a single act of disobedience—it is rebellion in sacred space. In this message, we see Eden as the place where heaven and earth overlap, the serpent as more than a mere animal, and humanity’s sin as a kingdom revolt against the rule of God. Exile from the garden means exile from the life-giving presence of God, but even in the curse, God speaks a promi...

Genesis 2:4–24 shows that humanity is not only created by God, but carefully formed, placed in His presence, and called into a life of trust, worship, and partnership. In this message, we see that we are dust with dignity—creatures fully dependent on God’s breath, yet honored with the calling to live before Him in sacred space. The garden is presented as a place of fellowship and obedience, where...

Genesis 1:21–2:3 shows God bringing His creation to completion by filling the world with life, forming humanity in His image, and blessing His people with rest. In this message, we see that human beings are not accidents or mere inhabitants of the world, but God’s image-bearers—created to represent Him, steward His world, and live as members of His royal family. We also see that God’s rest is not...

Genesis 1:14–25 shows God continuing to bring order, purpose, and life to His world. In this message, we see that the lights in the heavens are not divine powers, but created servants appointed by God to mark time, seasons, and sacred rhythms. We also see God filling the skies, seas, and land with living creatures—including even the great sea creatures that symbolized chaos in the ancient world—sh...

Genesis 1:3–13 shows us a God who brings order by His word. He does not struggle with chaos or negotiate with darkness—He speaks, and light shines, waters separate, land appears, and the world begins to flourish. In this message, we see God ordering time, the world above us, and the ground beneath us, revealing that creation is not random, rival-driven, or self-made, but fully under His wise and s...

Genesis 1:1–2 opens the Bible by introducing us to the God who is before all things, over all things, and already at work to bring order, life, and purpose out of emptiness. In this first message of our new series, In the Beginning, we look at what it means that Scripture starts not with humanity, sin, or a problem to solve—but with God. As we begin walking through Genesis in three movements—Prime...

Revelation 22:6–21 closes the book with a clear and urgent call: Jesus is coming soon, His words are faithful and true, and His people must be ready. In this message, we see why worship belongs to God alone, why Revelation is meant to be kept and obeyed rather than merely studied, and how the church is called to live with both expectancy and invitation—crying out, “Come, Lord Jesus,” while also in...

Revelation 21–22:5 brings Scripture to its breathtaking conclusion with the vision of the new heaven and new earth. In this message, we see God making all things new, the new Jerusalem coming down as both a city and a bride, and the full reality of God dwelling with His people forever. Death, sorrow, pain, curse, and darkness are gone, while the river of life flows, the tree of life heals, and the...

Revelation 20:11–15 confronts us with the reality of the final judgment, where every person stands before the great white throne of God. In this message, we see the absolute authority and perfect justice of the One seated on the throne, the books opened, the dead raised, and every life revealed for what it truly was. This sermon reminds us that judgment is not merely about what we have done, but a...

Revelation 19:11–20:15 points us to the certainty of Christ’s final victory and the urgency of His present mission. In this message, we see Jesus as the warrior-king who decisively defeats His enemies, the One who is already reigning and restraining evil, and the Judge before whom every person will stand. Rather than getting lost in timeline debates, this sermon calls us to focus on what the passa...

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the God who makes a way where there is no way. Looking at Exodus 14 alongside the resurrection of Jesus, this message shows how the parting of the Red Sea points forward to Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the chaos that holds us captive. Just as God led Israel out of slavery through the waters, Jesus—our true Passover Lamb—has made a way for us to be delivered,...
