We Are Bethany

What if faith was not just a onetime decision, but a series of decisions over the course of our life? Each of those decisions serves as a proverbial fork-in-the-road, but are all paths equal? Should we choose the “path less traveled”? Carve our own path? Go with the status quo? Which path will lead to a more meaningful and full life of faith and satisfaction? Today we look at what Proverbs says ab...

Proverbs 22:6 is easily the most popular proverb for raising children. For some parents, it has been a verse of encouragement. For others, a challenging verse. And, still, for others one that leads some to feel a sense of guilt. Today, Pastor Jason Jones helps parents find direction in raising children in Christ as well as how to find healing and hope when things don't go as planned. TEXT: Pr...

Knowledge is not the same thing as spiritual maturity and talking about religion is not the same thing as spiritual growth. Neither Spiritual Growth nor Spiritual Maturity happens by accident and we do things intentionally and unintentionally all the time that hinder our journey to both. Today we are going to look at the 7 Things God Hates from Proverbs 6 and talk about 7 Ways We Can Hinder Our Ow...

What does the Bible really say about sex? Marriage? Intimacy? Relationships? Should the church really talk about these topics or are they “too private” or taboo? Today, we continue to take a look at what it means to walk in wisdom in our romantic relationships and explore some #relationshipgoals that are actually helpful in finding, building, and sustaining deep and meaningful relationships. TEXT:...

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust God and lean not on your own understanding." This is easily one of the most popular Proverbs in Scripture, but while this verse decorates the walls of our homes, we often 'reverse the verse' and choose to "lean into" that which we trust most: ourselves and the voices of others. When we live in and from wisdom, however, we begin to see it as a pos...

"The things you treasure most will be the things you spend your life trying to get, trying to keep, or trying to get back and everything else will always come second to that treasure." But are the things you are chasing really worth it?  TEXT: Proverbs 2 Come visit us in person! To learn more about our church visit:  www.

"Choose your friends wisely" is something all parents tell their children growing up. However, it isn't a message just for kids or teens. Every day adults, likewise, allow a multitude of voices into their world that seek to influence their allegiances, opinions, thoughts, and ultimately, their worship. All voices are welcome, but not all voices are good. Today we look at what it mea...

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; fools despise wisdom and discipline." Today we start our journey through the Book of Proverbs by examining what wisdom is, how one may obtain wisdom, and how they can walk in it. As a part of our launch into this series, we navigate the relationship wisdom has with faith, knowledge, and discipline.  TEXT: Proverbs 1:1-7 Come visit us in p...

Today we look at what it is to flourish in this life with our eyes set on the Kingdom to come. When Jesus taught about the Kingdom of Heaven in the Sermon on the Mount, was the goal simply to make the world a better place? Social justice? Civil discourse? Humanism? Make people spiritual people? Or did He have something even bigger in mind? This is the last sermon in the Flourish Sermon Series. TEX...

What is Christian Persecution? Why does Jesus talk about Persecution as if it is something positive? How should a Christian live in persecution and from a life of persecution? Can we really flourish as people even in the midst of persecution? These are just a few of the questions we take a look at in this sermon.  Speaker: Pastor Christian Bonham Live Worship Service of Bethany Baptist Church (Wen...
