Bethel Media (Sermons & Podcast)

In the first nine plagues, God demonstrates his power over every false deity the Egyptians worshipped. God is sovereign, supreme, just and merciful!

When the Israelites heard through Moses and Aaron that God heard their prayers and came to rescue them from Egyptian slavery, they bowed their heads and worshipped him. Unfortunately, things got worse for them. It makes us ask the question, what do we do when things don't go our way?

At the burning bush, God reveals himself as the Great I AM. What does that mean for us here today?

In the account of the burning bush, the text reveals that we worship a God who Sees, Speaks, Saves, and Sends!

In the story of the birth of Moses to his exile to the Midian desert, we learn that God protects and provides for his people, that God's plans are better than our plans, and that God prepares his people for his purposes.

The suffering of Israel in Egyptian captivity was profound. They were forced to work in extreme conditions, physically abused, and their children were killed. In Exodus 1 God was preparing to show His mighty hand by setting His people free.

If we are to thrive in 2024 we must grow in our love or and knowledge of God's Word. The Bible guards our path and delights our hearts therefore we must dive deeply into it in order to understand and apply it.

When we are weak, then we are strong. It is only by God's strength can we live and move. The posture of Humble Dependance is prayerfulness.

Jesus as our Prince of Peace brings peace with God, peace internally, and peace relationally with others.

Through the difficult circumstances and broken relationships of our lives its very easy to place our hopes in all the wrong places. God, through his Word in Luke 1, shows us that our Hope placed in Christ will never be put to shame.

Jesus as the door means that its only through him can we find lasting joy and protection. When others sin against us, we pursue the Lord by walking in reconciliation.

Those who are connected to the True Vine will bear much fruit. Apart from Jesus, the believer can do nothing. Therefore, in the Christian life we must abide in Christ.

As Jesus grew in popularity, many sought him out for the gifts he brought. Jesus made it very clear however that he is the Bread of Life, and whoever believes in him shall never hunger or thirst. He truly is our all-satisfying Savior!

When life becomes hopeless and circumstances happen we can choose to trust Jesus because he is our living hope. He overcame sin and death to secure our eternal salvation therefore we can trust him in every day life.

Jesus is the one and only way to the Father, to heaven.

The Good Shepherd protects, loves, and cares for his sheep. This picture is a beautiful parallel how Christ truly loves his people well.

When Jesus made the the statement the he is the Light of the World. He announced that he alone provides protection, provision, and leadership to His people. Therefore, today we are to See the Light, Walk in the Light, and Spread the light. As we do this we will push back darkness!

We are blessed to be a blessing to others locally and globally. Our passion for missions must always stem from a heart of worship for Christ.

We look at the basis, cost, practice, and goals of community for Bethel out of 1 John.

God's plan for the next generation is threefold: 1. Attention on the Word 2. Obedience to the Word 3. Courage from the Word

The Bible is the Word of God and is living and active. Therefore, we as God's people must strive to read, study memorize, meditate, and preach the Word. As we do this, the church is built up and we are transformed.
