     | 609 views

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    The Father runs toward wandering children with restoring love, covering shame, celebrating repentance, and welcoming every prodigal home with joy and resurrection life.

    Introduction — When Words Can’t Touch the Wound There are some wounds in life that do not bleed outwardly, yet they bleed continuously inside a parent’s heart. These wounds have no bandage, no cast, no sling. They don’t show up in X-rays or MRIs. And yet they ache every single day. They are the ...read more

    Before You Say Amen

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 70 views

    Prayer becomes heavy when it turns into performance. Jesus calls us back to honest, relational prayer—where pretending ends and real communion with God begins.

    There are few subjects in the church that create more confusion—and more quiet frustration—than prayer. Not because people don’t believe in it. Most Christians believe deeply in prayer. They would defend it without hesitation. They know it matters. They know it’s essential. They know it’s supposed ...read more

    The Gift Is Not The Box

     | 1,226 views

    God gave us a gift in His Son. That gift must be taken out of the "box" and utilized in order to get the full benefit of the gift. Many Christians keep Jesus in a box where He is not allowed to operate freely in their lives.

    The Gift Is Not The Box Scripture: Proverbs 20:11; John 3:16; First Corinthians 13:11 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message today is “The Gift Is Not The Box” and I want to focus your attention on spiritual maturity. Proverbs 20:11, from the New American Standard Bible, says, ...read more

So he boarded a ship heading the other way, but ...read more

    You may have noticed we spent an extended period in worship this morning. Amen. To be honest, the reason we did it is because we wanted to truly prove that we do value worship here at Bellevue Christian Church.

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more
