Bethel Covenant Church Podcast

On this special Sunday we remembered the gift God has given us in people that are now gone.  None of us get to finish our true work on earth, but we have a God who puts the pieces together!

Kyliah Villa brings the word from Luke 10:25-26, 35-37.  She draws us to 3 Key Words For Passing on a legacy of Christian Faith. Adoration - "Saying God is god, and I am not." Identification - "God calls us to identify with others in our path and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit." Cultivation - "Cultivation is hands in the fertilizer, faith in action. Unsung, selfless service that makes a...

At the very end what lasts?  1 Corinthians has something to say about that.

What will we leave behind when we are gone? This month our church celebrates 141 years of faithful ministry in this community and it has us thinking, "How do we keep the legacy going?"

We explore the obvious truth, that we know sometimes without really knowing. Join us.

Knowing about someone isnt the same as knowing them. What should we expect if we are going to believe what the bible says about knowing the maker and sustainer of everything?

For the next 3 weeks we are turning our attention to the basic truths of scripture that are sometimes the hardest for us to really believe.

We have heard the story, the only question is if we will beleive it or keep trying to drag god where we are already going.

Paul is dragged aboard a boat as a prisoner, but in a storm is is transformed from cargo to lifeboat in the eyes of his captors.  What does it mean to live faith when the ground is NOT solid?

Join us as our guest preacher Mike brings the word from Acts 8.   Who could you be in someone's life if you let yourself be used by God to be the difference?

Why doesn't Paul fight, flee, or freeze?

When Paul enters the city of Athens the spirit sets him on a collision course with they ways they think about God and the world, but there is freedom in the crash.  What ideas about God and faith do we need the Holy Spirit to crash into?

Paul and Silas start a new mission in a new place.  The spirit leads them into trouble and we see how often following Jesus dosent lead us to a smooth driving autodrive style life, BUT opens the door to something greater.

Our worship leader Will Droogsma brings the word this morning focusing on Acts 15.

Our church chair and guest preacher Jon Johnson brings the word from Acts 13-14.

Who is it that holds everything together in our lives? Acts 12 tells an interesting story about this.  Take a listen.

If Saul was a bad guy by DEEDS, Cornelius is a bad guy by IDENTITY.  What will the spirit do when parts of our idenity seem to separate us from God and others?

Acts shows us what happens when the way of Jesus runs into its worst enemies.  How does God deal with his biggest and most dangerous enemies?

In Acts 8 The first church faces the worst case scenario and somehow God is still in it and we find a way to face our own worst case scenarios.

Philip stands before the Sanhedrin and retells the story of Isreal around the way God's spirit calls us again and again to leave some things behind on the way to new freedom, new calling, and new purpose. 

The truth is Satan is broke and God is a grizzly check it out in acts!

When Peter stands up filled with the spirit he has one 3-word message.  We need it.

What if God has more for us than we want.  Acts 2 shows us what that looks like.

Peter stands up in Acts, looks straight at the painful reality of Judas' betrayal, and reminds the other disciples foundational principal of what it means to follow Jesus.  If you are in a time of change or uncertainty this is for you.

We begin our summer long focus on the Book of Acts with Jesus closest friends staring at the sky wondering what they are going to do now that their leader, teacher, and Lord has left them on Earth.
