Bethel Baptist ChurchJonah: True RepentanceScripture Reading: Jonah 3 Jonah 3 contains the account of Jonah's preaching to the people of Nineveh and their repentance and the stay of God's judgment. There are multiple lessons on display in this chapter. One lesson is the obedience of Jonah to do a very difficult thing … namely, to go to the capital city of a hostile enemy (both Israel's enemy and God's enemy) and declare a coming destruction for their wickedness. A second lesson is the nature of repentance. The people of Nineveh, from the king to common laborer, repented. This repentance included an emotional response...2022-11-1345 min
Bethel Baptist ChurchThe Persecuted Church: Many are in PrisonSince 1996, one Sunday in November has been designated the "International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church." It is a significant remembrance for us. David Barrett, formerly of the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board, is one of the foremost authorities on the state of Christianity in the world today. In his book Our Globe and How to Reach It, he says that more Christians have been killed in the 20th century than in the 19 previous centuries combined. Exact statistics are hard to determine, but continuing into the 21st century, worldwide, even on the low end of estimates...2022-11-0644 min

Bethel Baptist ChurchRuth: Ruth's RedeemerScripture Reading: Ruth 3 … 'Redeemer' in the Old Testament … nearest relative … "kinsman redeemer" … Hebrew word - goel …. the concept of the 'goel' included the notion of protecting, saving, sustaining, guarding a family member, usually with some purchase involved. …. Lev 25:25,26 - redemption of property …. Lev 25:47-49 - redemption of people …. Num 35:16-19 - avenging a murder …. Deut 25:5-10 - law of levirate marriage, though the word 'goel' is not mentioned in this section. Levirate marriage is not the same thing as the work of the 'goel,' but the princ...2022-09-2548 minBethel Baptist ChurchRuth: Behind a Frowning ProvidenceScripture Reading: Ruth 2:1-232022-09-1840 minBethel Baptist ChurchRuth: Divine Providence - Sweet and BitterScripture Reading: Ruth 1 During the time of the judges in Israel, God's providence was on display in a wondrous way, in order to show His faithfulness to bring the promised Messiah. In the process, God displays His grace to a family in Bethlehem. He does this through the everyday ebb and flow of life and not through some spectacular miracle. The book of Ruth is a story of ordinary people in ordinary people in ordinary circumstances. It is a story of hardship and heartache, of love and fidelity, of determination and the sovereignty of God, gov...2022-09-1153 min
Bethel Baptist ChurchJohn: You Follow MeScripture Reading; John 21:15-25 The gospel of John ends with a passage about the greatness of Christ. Peter, who had been frightened to even say the name of Jesus, would one day give his life for the Master. "Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." (This he said to show by what kind of death he was...2022-09-0448 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Do You Love MeScripture Reading: John 21:15-19 This remarkable conversation between Jesus and Simon Peter is found only in John's gospel. Following breakfast that morning, Jesus asked the same question three times … "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" And three times Simon Peter gave the same answer, "Yes Lord, you know that I love you." In calling Peter "Simon, son of John," Jesus may have been recalling the initial call of Peter to follow Christ. John 1:42 … "You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called 'Cephas' (which is translated Peter)." This conversation is a res...2022-08-2845 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Tender, Sustaining PowerScripture Reading: John 21:1-14 This post-resurrection story is found only in the gospel of John. It is a tender reminder of the power, compassion, and provision of Christ. Still coming to grips with the reality and implications of Christ's resurrection, these seven disciples return to fishing. This was probably not evidence that these men were abandoning their ministry of the gospel, but rather that, until further definition of their ministry, they did what was both familiar and sustaining. Reminiscent of an earlier event (cf. Lk 5:1-11), these men caught nothing after fishing all night. Like the e...2022-08-1441 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Peace Be With YouJohn 20:19-232022-07-3147 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Understanding The ScripturesScripture Reading: John 20:1-10 The account of the resurrection of Christ is found in all four gospel accounts, as we would expect. Each gospel writer includes some details about Jesus' resurrection that are not found in the other three gospels. It is only from John that we learn about Peter and John running to the tomb, and John hesitating to go in. Only in John do we have the account of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene. And only in John 20 do we read the description of the cloth that had covered Jesus' face, along with the grave clot...2022-07-2451 min

Bethel Baptist ChurchJohn: It Is FinishedScripture Reading: John 19:16-30 If someone can read this passage about the substitutionary death of Christ and not be moved, then that person is either quite thoughtless or spiritually dead. Given who Jesus is, the condescension He subjected Himself to is utterly indescribable. During the crucifixion, Jesus said seven things which the gospel writers record. John 19 contains three of these sayings. When Jesus said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son," (Jn 19:26) He was pointing Mary to the disciple next her for her ongoing care. When Jesus said, "Behold your mother," He was pro...2022-07-0341 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: The Judge of the Earth on Trial (Part 3)Scripture Reading: John 19:1-162022-06-2643 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: The Judge of the Earth on Trial (Part 2)Scripture Reading: John 18:28-40 After being up all night, both praying and being questioned by Annas and Caiaphas, Jesus endured the Roman stage of His trial. At daybreak, the Sanhedrin Council made a formal charge and sent Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. There were three components of the Roman stage of Jesus' trial. Jesus was questioned by Pilate, then by Herod, then by Pilate again. John's gospel contains the fullest account of this part of Jesus' trial. One element that stands out here is Pilate's recognition of Jesus' innocence and his unwillingness, therefo...2022-06-1949 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: The Judge of the Earth On Trial (Part 1)John 18:12-242022-06-1245 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Peter's DenialJohn 18:12-272022-06-0543 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: I Am HEJohn 18:1-11 The story of Jesus' arrest in the garden of Gethsemane appears in all four gospels, but the details in the gospel of John are virtually only in John. In his gospel, John is interested in presenting the deity of Christ and that deity is on display when Judas and the others came to arrest Jesus. We see, in this account, the authority of Jesus. Though the arresting group was large, and though they had weapons, Jesus is completely in charge of the situation. Upon His asking whom the Roman soldiers were seeking, they said...2022-05-2944 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: That They May All Be OneJohn 17:20-262022-05-1541 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Sanctified by the TruthScripture: John 17:14-19 In praying for His own, Jesus asks the Father to do several things for them. He prays that the Father will keep them (Jn 17:11,15). He prays that they would experience Jesus' own joy (Jn 17:13). Next, Jesus prays that the Father would 'sanctify' believers (Jn 17:17,19). The root of the word 'sanctify' is the word for holiness. All holiness derives from God's holiness. The primary idea of 'holy' is to be unique, distinct, separate. God is utterly unique and separate from His creation. Since God is separate from His creation, He is, in turn, separat...2022-05-0847 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: That They May have My JoyScripture Reading: John 17:12-19 In this wonderful prayer for His disciples, Jesus requests four things from the Father. The first is that the Father would keep those whom He had given to His Son (Jn 17:11). The second request is that Jesus' disciples would experience Jesus' joy. "But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they [the disciples] might have my joy fulfilled in themselves" (Jn 17:13; cf. Jn 15:11). We start with the reality that God is a God who has pleasure in Himself. He has pleasure in His Son...2022-05-0140 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Kept by the Father and The SonScripture: John 17:10-17 The first request Jesus makes in this glorious prayer is found in verse 11 … "Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me." Jesus is asking the Father to hold on to these disciples, keeping them aligned with God's name. God's name represents who He is. To be kept 'in His name' is to be drawn to a life which accords with God's character. This fits with Jesus calling on God as Holy Father. Specifically here, we are called to righteousness ("keep them from the evil one" – Jn 17:15) and to unity ("t...2022-04-2443 min
Bethel Baptist ChurchJob: If A Man Dies Shall He Live AgainScripture Reading: Job 14:7-15 From time immemorial, people have wondered out loud about what happens after we die. There is a longing in the human soul for immortality because our Creator has set eternity in our hearts (Ecc 3:11). Job’s question in this passage reflects the desire in his heart for eternal life. He notes that when a tree is cut down, sometimes a shoot springs up and the tree lives again (Job 14:7-9). But Job’s reflection is that for a human being, this is not possible. Death is final (Job 14:10-12,18-22). But still he asks the question...2022-04-1742 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Receiving God's WordScritpture Reading John 17:6-11 Continuing in His glorious prayer, Jesus turns His focus from the glory of the Father and the Son to the needs of His disciples. He knows they are sorrowful and that their grief will increase the next day. In this prayer, Jesus is clear that He is not praying for the world but for these men. The foundation of what Jesus says here is that the Father had given these men to His Son and Jesus, in turn, had manifested the Father to them (Jn 17:6). As Christ contemplates leaving the earth...2022-04-1040 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: The Glory of the Father and the SonScripture Reading: John 17:1-5 This is one of the most exquisite chapters in the Bible. Though we are told that Jesus prayed often, this passage is the only long prayer of Jesus recorded in the gospels. Because these are the words and thoughts of one person of the Godhead (the Son) to another person of the Godhead (the Father), there are depths here that we are not able to fathom. Even though the prayer in Matthew 5:9-13 is called the Lord's Prayer, this prayer could also be called the Lord's Prayer. In Matthew the prayer is...2022-04-0347 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: Love and Peace from The ConquerorScritpture Reading: John 16:25-33 This section of chapter 16 is the final recorded words of encouragement of Jesus to His apostles, prior to His arrest and death. It is a fitting summary of this glorious section of John known as the 'upper room discourse' (Jn 13:31-16:33). Jesus repeats some of the themes He has mentioned, namely prayer, His relationship with the Father, the Father's love for these men, the peace Jesus wants for them. And Jesus ends with the triumphant declaration, "Take heart, I have overcome the world" (Jn 16:33). We see in John 16:25 that Jesus has come, among other things, to...2022-03-2748 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: No One Will Take Your JoyScripture Reading: John 16:16-24 In light of His impending death, Jesus continues to encourage His apostles (and us) in this passage. Here Jesus promises His own joy and answers to prayer. Referring to His death and resurrection (and ministry beyond His earthly life) Jesus says, "You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy . . . and no one will take your joy from you" (Jn 16:20,22). The source of this joy is the presence of Jesus Himself. "So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice" (Jn 16:22). The deepest root...2022-03-2043 min

The Spirit of God is our guarantee, in Christ, that we will be made new on the day of redemption. And the Spirit equips us to work in the kingdom of Christ along the way. For Christians, the Holy Spirit has been given to us, by God, as a pledge, a sort of down-payment, reminding us of the glory to come. To secure this promise the Holy Spir...2022-02-2749 minBethel Baptist ChurchJohn: The Spirit of TruthScripture Reading: John 16:12-15 John 16:12-15 is the last section in this gospel about the Helper, to whom Jesus has repeatedly referred in the sermon on the mount. "When the Spirit of truth comes," Jesus says, "he will guide you into all truth. . . . He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you" (Jn 16:13,14). The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to bring glory to God the Son.
