We Are BethanyGREATER Series - Part 8: Walking in SufferingTEXT: Acts 21: 1-15 Suffering is hard. Most people do everything they can to avoid suffering. They try to ignore it, avoid it, fight against it, or even deny it's happening, but what if there is another option? Today we look at what that option is because the reality is, suffering is inevitable. Everyone goes through difficult seasons. How can we walk in those seasons well? How might God be working even in our suffering? Is there hope even in the hurt? Come visit us in person! To learn more about our church visit: www...

We Are BethanyGREATER Series - Part 5: Simple Obedience // Pastor Christian BonhamTEXT: 18:1-17Many Christians want to do tremendous things for God but feel like they don't know enough or have enough (fill in the blank). Instead of feeling empowered, they feel inadequate. As hard as it might be to believe, Paul actually had similar struggles, but instead of trusting his own skill or talents, he found his security in God. Today we will see that Simple Obedience rooted in Simple Faith is the fuel for Christians seeking to do tremendous things in God's Kingdom.Come visit us in person! To learn more about our church...

We encounter paradoxes all the time in our lives; however, the greatest paradox in our world is not a statement or event but a person: Jesus. Today we will look at the extraordinary birth of Jesus and how each encounter in the Birth Narrative was full of irony and incomprehensible moments and how Jesus defied expectations then and is still doing so even today.

It’s not a suggestion, nor a good idea. It is a Christian’s primary response to a Holy, beautiful, wonderful, powerful, and grace-giving God. But how do you worship when you have nothing left to give? How do worship when you feel like you have nothing valuable to offer? It is possible and today we explore how.

There are certain truths about the darkness that we have become blind to or have just grown used to that make it difficult for us to see, trust, or understand the beauty and allure of Light!

'There is no peace on earth,' I said; 'For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!'" These words were written 157 years ago in the poem "Christmas Bells" (which later became the Christmas song "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"), but the despair and longing in that stanza sound like something many in our world feel even today. Many, like the poet, wonder if hope has really died or if God has forgotten about us. Today we begin our countdown to Christmas and...

We Are BethanyBook of Acts: Part 10 - Boundaries and Barriers // Pastor Christian BonhamOne of the best ways to develop deep and meaningful relationships is to establish boundaries. Boundaries help us learn how to communicate, welcome people into our lives, and manage our own health. However, as helpful as boundaries are, if we’re not careful, they also have the ability to become barriers. Today we examine how early Jewish Christians did this very thing with God’s love and Law and almost stopped the growth of the church and the spread of the Gospel.

While most people feel like they are generally good people. But the Bible tells us a different story. It shows us we are actually worse than we think we are, but also loved more radically than we could ever believe.

Every Sunday people fill pews and stream content online claiming to be "Christians" but are really Unsaved Christians. People who prayed a sinner's prayer were baptized, read their Bible apps, give money to the church, volunteer at the church, and maybe even teach Bible stories, but are spiritually dead. Not only that, but they miss the joy that comes only from a real, deep, and meaningful relationship with Jesus. Today we look at the...

While there may be wisdom to being patient and waiting some conflicts out, the reality is there are some conflicts that cannot and should not be avoided and to do so would only bring further harm to all parties involved. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is face conflict with love and a game plan. Today we look at when the early church faced one of its first internal...

We Are BethanyThe Proverbs - Part 10: Learning to Walk in Humility // Pastor Christian BonhamEveryone wants to believe they’re a humble individual, but the reality is we are all often far less humble than we realize. What we believe to be helpful, honest, encouraging, or even worshipful is often more self-serving than self-sacrificing. Today we look at the difference between Biblical Humility (Wisdom) and False humility (Foolishness) because without humility there can be no worship. And without worship, we will never fully realize why we breathe. TEXT: Proverbs 30:1-9Come visit us in person! To learn more about our church visit: www.WeAreBethany.com/plan-a-visitTH...
