Jesus Loves The Church

Contributed by David Scudder on Sep 13, 2010

I have met a lot of people who tell me that they believe in God, but they don't believe in organized religion. In other words, they don't care about going to church. Why does Christ love the church, or in our case, why does Christ love Bethel?

Purpose: To describe Christ's intimate connection with the local church. Aim: I want the listener to have an exalted view of the church. INTRODUCTION: I have met a lot of people who tell me that they believe in God, but they don't believe in organized religion. In other words, they don't care ...read more

Delays

Contributed by Lane Hastie on Feb 4, 2019

There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

The Need Of The Church Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020

If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more

Just a little history about crucifixion: Crucifixion was invented by the Persians in 300-400BC and developed, during Roman empire times, into a punishment for the most serious of criminals. It was thought of as the most horrible, painful, tortuous, and ...read more

Farewell Address -- Kissing Frogs

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Sep 15, 2018

Farewell Address at dinner by the Parish for my wife Lee and I. It has some humor yet I believe it touches the heart of who we are called to be in Christ. At the end I passed out 125 Red Wax Lips and and 125 signs that state "I Kiss Frogs" with a picture of a frog with big red lips.

It just wouldn't feel right ... if I didn't begin with ... a story. And at the end of the story ... there is a little surprise ... that just might require a group picture. Well ... This short discourse is called ... "Kissing Frogs" Ever feel like a Frog? Frogs feel slow, ... low, ... ...read more

The Urgency Of The Emergency Series

Contributed by Larry Johnson on Sep 13, 2025

I woke up with pain so sharp I could hardly walk, sit, or even sleep. Finally, my wife insisted we go to the emergency room. That day I learned something: just because something is an emergency does not mean it is urgent, and just because something is urgent does not mean it is an emergency.

The Father Of The Future Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Here was a father who put God first in his life. He chose to be a miserable minority going against the grain. His boys probably did complain at times that it was very difficult to put up with the mockery. Noah had to do a lot of encouraging to keep them faithful.

It is tough to be a father in this world where everything is changing so fast. In Africa the custom of selling the bride to her future husband has been challenged for sometime by Christian daughters. They feel it is a evil custom to be sold like an object to the highest bidder. They have ...read more
