Beste Bethlehem Church podcasts (2024)

In this message for the week of Christmas, Pastor Chad relates how the roads we travel in life aren't always the path we'd choose for ourselves. Sometimes there's an unplanned detour through a lost job, a divorce, a cancer diagnosis, or the death of a loved one. Mary & Joseph did not plan a road trip to Bethlehem, it was a detour caused by a govern…

Living Sacrifices / Tim McCool / 12-15-24

Play Pause

4d ago

—

In a follow up message to Firstfruits, I look at what it means to be a living sacrifice. This is a mystery, as the meaning of sacrifice is to kill, or put to death. So how can we be living but dead sacrifices? In this message, I look at how this works. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.15.24.Living.Sacrifices.Tim_.McCool.mp3…

He loves us. He forgives us. It Is Jesus who makes Christmas what it is and why it is.Door Rev. David M. Reimnitz

Time is a funny thing, sometimes it flies and at other times it drags. In today’s world we are so busy life becomes a blur as it passes us by. Sometimes we wish time would fly through bad parts of life to minimize the heartache. The story of our faith offers us a reminder that sometimes we need to slow down and take in the world around us and when …

Traditions and expectations fill our lives, especially at Christmas, some add value to our lives and others we need to let go. Letting go of the unrealistic expectations that drain us allows us to focus instead on the peace, hope, and joy of Advent and Christmas. Our Focus text this week, the birth and naming of John, is a reminder that trust & fai…

Roles of God / Tim McCool / 12-11-24

As a husband to my wife, a father to my children, a son to my mother – I am one person, but I have different roles. When it comes to our salvation, God is One, but He has different roles. In this message, I look at the roles of God in our salvation. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.11.24.Roles_.of_.God_.Tim_.McCool.mp3 12.1…

Waiting and preparing are big themes in Advent as we draw closer the arrival of Jesus at Christmas. So, are you prepared? Sermons on this week’s focus text this week often talk about how half the young women waiting for the Bridegroom were foolish for not being prepared for the long wait and run out of lamp oil. Pastor Chad invites us to look beyon…

Firstfruits / Tim McCool / 12-01-24

Following Thanksgiving, I have often spoken about leftovers, which is something we all partake of after a big celebration. But in this message, instead of leftovers, I focus on the Biblical teaching of firstfruits, which is the other end of the spectrum from leftovers. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12.01.24.Firstfruits.Tim_…

Your Thanksgiving Meter / Tim McCool / 11-24-24

Around Thanksgiving, black Friday seems to cast a dark shadow over the time of celebrating freedom, family and being thankful. In this message, I look at what should be our focus not just on Thanksgiving, but every day. If we had a gauge to measure how thankful we are, where would the meter rest? At full? At empty? Somewhere in between? http://www.…

We begin the Season of Advent, the season of waiting, with the story of the Annunciation. Mary’s life is turned upside down with the announcement that the angel Gabriel brings her. The certainty she had in planning for her wedding to Joseph was gone. How could she be so willing to accept the news of becoming pregnant with the Son of God? Faith! Fai…

God’s Got Your Back / Tim McCool / 11-17-24

To have someone’s back means that you will support them and not let anyone sneak up on them. In an eternal sense, the Lord has our back. There is nothing that can sneak up on us and take away our eternal salvation. But He also has us here and now. The question to ask is – Do we have each other’s back? As born again believers, do we love and support…

How Long? / Tim McCool / 11-13-24
