Defined By Your Job?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Making work our priority can become a problem in our relationship with God and with our family. It can also develop into an issue with our self-worth should we ever experience problems in the workplace or the loss of a job.

Today’s sermon is for the men of our congregation; being that we had a Men’s Breakfast this morning. I would like to begin our message with a short sermon illustration.

Sermon # 18 - Safe In The Shadow Of The Almighty God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 7, 2025

When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

When Your Walk Wanes

Contributed by Bruce Willis on May 10, 2007

This sermon teaches what you need to believe about your “union with Christ,” “your identity in Christ” when your faith is weak; not what you need to do, but what you need to BELIEVE!

Riding by churches you see a lot of quips and quotes on church signs. One that I see from time to time has to do with our walk with the Lord. It goes something like this, “Exercise Daily, Walk with the Lord.” That’s well and good, but what happens “When Your Walk Wanes”? What happens when you ...read more

"I Am Reconciled" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Feb 11, 2014

The reconciliation we see today due to Christ's death has both a horizontal and vertical aspect to it. Vertically God has reconciled all mankind to himself, and horizontally he has reconciled all mankind to each other through the blood of Christ.

No Ordinary Man

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 19, 2012

Jesus went to great lengths to validate his identity by using his name which is synonymous with God’s name. Jesus told his listeners plainly who he was by name but they did not make the connection. Have you mistaken His identity?

No Ordinary Man John 4:1-30 What is in a name? Well a name says a lot about a person and it is necessary to correctly identify one person from another. Just try getting over the border by using a name or abbreviated name and see what happens to you. Just the other day I needed the name of a ...read more

Going Back To Bethel PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025

God graciously calls us to return, lay down our burdens and idols, and receive renewed identity, mercy, and blessing through His faithful love.

Some of God’s kindest invitations arrive in a single word: Return.

3 Putting On The New Self Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 25, 2019

All our lives people tell us who we are, whether out loud by their words, or silently by the way they treat us. A distorted self image leads to a distorted life. Jesus says we are children of God. Put that image on every morning as you start your day.

Every morning we face the world with this momentous decision. “What am I going to wear today?” If you are doing something important in your job you might put on your very best, just that combination that says I am confident, but not too pushy. Something creative, but not weird. Something ...read more
