    Doing God's Will Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 52,734 views

    It’s one thing to know God’s will; it’s another to do it. God wants us to be pure, to love others, and He longs to have our lives attract others to the life-changing message of the gospel.

    Doing God’s Will A wealthy man went up to his pastor and said, “I want you and your wife to take a three-month trip to the Holy Land at my expense. When you come back I’ll have a surprise for you.” Three months later they returned home and discovered that this man had built a beautiful new ...read more

    Getting Ready For The Second Coming Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2003
    based on 61 ratings
     | 21,805 views

    We’re not to get caught up in date setting but instead are to be ready at all times to meet the Lord because He will come like a thief in the night. In the meantime, we’re to cultivate faith, love, and hope.

    Getting Ready for the Second Coming [Drama: “Security Check”] I can’t imagine what that would be like when the Book of Life is opened and your name is nowhere to be found! The feelings of regret, loneliness, and outright alarm would be devastating. And that would be nothing like the eternal ...read more

    Praying For The Right Things Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2003
    based on 126 ratings
     | 15,511 views

    In the light of the Lord’s impending return, we’re to pray that our faith will grow and that our love will increase. Since those who don’t know God will be punished when Christ appears, we must avoid mediocre spirituality and apathetic prayers.

    Praying for the Right Things One of my favorite commercials is for a cell phone company in which cellular static has caused some confusion between a married couple. The wife had just asked her husband to bring home “a movie, something old.” The husband however, thought she said, “Bring home a ...read more

    The Lord Who Leads Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 66,945 views

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more

    Jesus draws us together into a family of faith through His perfect sinless life.

    Before and After Galatians 3:23-29 We’ve all seen the ads. The smiling models, supposedly real people just like you and me, tell their tales of what a louse and loser they were before they enrolled in the program. After just three weeks…“I lost ten pounds, I made a million dollars, I found the ...read more

     | 15,439 views

    The Messiah many are looking for is quite different than the Messiah who came to us in Jesus.

    The Disappointing Messiah John 12:12-19 Jack was raised in the church. He frequented Sunday school and worship services each Sunday with his family. He had learned all of the famous stories of the heroes of the Bible. He had heard of the times that God had intervened in the lives of His committed ...read more

     | 10,676 views

    Prayer is the key to unleashing the power of God in the life of the individual.

    Unleash The Power Ephesians 1:15-23 In 1907, the great preacher E.M. Bounds wrote these powerful words which are still challenging the hearts of God's people to this day. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking ...read more

    God has given us some incredibly insightful guidance for blessing our children.

    "Teach Your Children Well" Ephesians 1-4 We hear so much about parents and their children today on the television and in newspaper articles. The tragedy is that most of the news we hear is not encouraging at all. This is not a new phenomenon either. For years now we’ve heard the sordid tales of ...read more

    This is part 1 of a series of sermons on What God is doing in the lives of people at Bethany Church.

    The question I have for you today is this: Why did God choose Noah? When God destroyed the world with a flood, there were approximately one million people living.
