    When The Elder Sins Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 16, 2014
     | 4,964 views

    Elders are to be honoured for their labour. However, elders are to be held accountable before the congregation to discharge their appointment in a faithful manner.

    “Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these ...read more

    Every action we take has consequences for where we end up - so where we plant our lives is critical.

    “Renewable Energy: Rooting for Yourself” Psalm 1 Barb and I have discovered that where we plant a tree in our yard makes all the difference in whether or not it grows into maturity and productivity. This is so because some of our yard is good soil and some of it is thick clay; good ...read more

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,114 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the importance of training to be like Christ rather than simply trying to be a Christ, and what it looks like in practical terms.

    Good morning. We are continuing to look at this theme of discipleship. Discipleship at Bellevue Christian Church has been defined as ordinary people learning to live everyday life like Jesus. We decided that there are three ways that we become a disciple at Bellevue Christian Church. We gather, ...read more

    The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,131 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more

    God seeks to discipline those He loves....and we really don’t care too much about that idea!

    HEB 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.3 For we which ...read more

     | 7,894 views

    Discipline isn’t fun. It isn’t fun to receive it and it isn’t fun to give it out. But the fact is that discipline is necessary. Are you in need of a cleansing today? How will you react when it comes?

    “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” How many of you have ever used that line on your kids? I remember when I got that line used on me. I didn’t believe it for one minute. As a matter of fact, I didn’t believe it until I had my own kids and used that line on them. Don’t you hate ...read more

     | 1,612 views

    God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline. We can overcome unhealthy fear by relying on the Holy Spirit's power, focusing on God's love, and developing self-discipline.

    Ever been scared out of your wits? Like, heart-pounding, palms-sweating scared? Did you know the phrase 'fear not' pops up 365 times in the Bible? That's one for every day of the year! God doesn't want us living in fear, so let's figure out how to kick it to the curb. Let's start with this: In 2 ...read more

    Some of our lives are like this bulging bag with gaping worthlessness! We need to be disciplined!

    Psalm 119:37 “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.” The bag was bulging and he came to school studiously carrying the bag; not many come to our school with such big bags, though, filled with text books and note books.
