Bethesda Christian Church Sermon of the Week

Kingdom living isn't a two way street, it is a roundabout. Having faith in Jesus requires disciples to give what they have received. What would it look like if we live out our next year focusing on the Kingdom of God?

Immanuel is not just a title but a revelation of God's heart for humanity. From the beginning, God has desired to be with His people. Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit. His presence with us and within us.

Life without Jesus is chaos, and we spend our lives looking for temporary relief. However, Jesus offers us new life in Him. New life is a gift of God, unmerited, undeserved, and Jesus patiently waits to give it to anyone who would receive. Through Jesus we are made alive. We are no longer defined by our past, our sins, or our failures.

At the heart of Christmas is the glorious truth that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of God's promises to humanity. The ultimate proof of God's faithfulness is found in Jesus. Jesus is the promise of God who came to show us that God is always with us.

As we kickoff our Advent series, Pastor Pat talks about how Jesus is the ultimate gift. One of the gifts from Jesus is the promise of heaven. Jesus tells us, "unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." What would it look like for you to walk in humility like a child and to have that joy and wonder.
