Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues our series Righteous Rewards by looking at what Jesus has commanded us regarding storing treasure.

Exodus 39:30-31 Whenever the topic of holiness is brought up in the company of Christians, it is guaranteed to provoke one of two responses, either uneasiness or delight! Now granted, those feelings of uneasiness may be down to the fact that a professing believer is not living as they ought; maybe they are living in secret sin and know that by prea…

Joy is not the absence of hardship but simply the presence of the Holy Spirit, anchoring us even in the storms of life. In order to cultivate joy in our lives, we need to actively desire more of His presence. Reflect on the joy of your salvation in Jesus.بقلم The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues the series on righteous rewards by considering fasting. He reviews what fasting is, when we should fast, and how to fast. We should fast over our sins in times of mourning, and in times of preparation and decision. We should not fast for the praise of men. We should fast out of hunger for God and for His rewards. Ja…

Luke 15:1-2 If one was to stop you and to ask, “What is God like?”, I wonder what answer you’d give? What attribute would come first to mind? Would it be God’s holiness or omnipotence? His omniscience or His omnipresence? You ask me, “What is God like?”. What attribute comes first to mind when thinking about His person? I return my answer at once; …

If our source is the Spirit, the fruit will be good and life-giving. Without Him, we can do nothing. Love is not merely an emotion or an action we muster on our own. Instead, it is a divine quality that flows from our relationship with God. The source of true love lies in our dependence on Christ.بقلم The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

Romans 8:14 There’s one feature of the Holy Spirit’s leading that I’ve learned from experience, one that is widely attested to in the Sacred record, and that is the spontaneity of His leading!!!

Part of our mission is to live the Word of God in our daily lives. In Galatians 5, Paul says that we need to walk by the Spirit, but how do we do that? We must set our minds on the things of the Spirit. As we go through each fruit of the Spirit in the coming weeks, remember that spiritual growth is neither instantaneous nor self-generated. We must …

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 It is the earnest desire, to lay before you the certain and definite hope of the Christian. Assurances like this cannot be found in this world due to its transient state of temporariness. Search high and low, with diligence and scrutiny, but O man, your search will be in vain.

Sermon by Pastor Tom,"Radiant Redemption"بقلم Bethesda Lutheran Church

Often, we let our circumstances determine how we're doing. Yet, Jesus reminds us that while we will face trouble, we can take heart because He has overcome the world. Our true source of life is found in Him. If you're struggling, turn to Jesus—surviving relies on our own strength, but thriving comes from abiding in Him. Additionally, God has given …
