Eyes on Jesus | Better | Ryan Lutz

What are you focused on? In Week 2 of our Better series, "Eyes on Jesus," we dive into Hebrews 3 and discover what it means to keep our attention fixed on Christ in a world full of distractions. God created each of us with purpose, but sin has a way of weighing us down and keeping us from the abundant life Jesus came to give. This message is an invitation to lift our eyes, trust Jesus, and follow Him with endurance and faith. 📖 Scripture: Hebrews 3 ⛪ Bethany Missionary Church 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement today. #EyesOnJesus #Hebrews3 #BetterSeries #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #Faith #Jesus #ChurchOnline #BethanyChurch

Better Than The Drift | Hebrews 1 2 | Ryan Lutz

We don’t usually drift on purpose. We drift when life gets busy, when pain gets heavy, when distractions get loud, and when we slowly stop paying attention to what matters most. As we kick off our new series through the book of Hebrews, we’re reminded of one powerful truth: Jesus is better. He is not just another messenger from God — He is the final Word. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He came near, took on flesh, bore our sin, tasted death, and made a way for us to come home. Hebrews 2:1 says, “We must pay attention all the more to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.” This message is an invitation to look again at Jesus, return to the main thing, and remember that whatever we are tempted to drift toward, Jesus is better. Join us for Week 1 of Better as we begin our journey through Hebrews.

All Kinds of Prayer | Gratitude | Dylan Miller

This week, we wrapped up our All Kinds of Prayer series with a message on gratitude and thanksgiving from our former pastoral resident and guest speaker, Pastor Dylan Miller. In 1 Timothy 2:1, Paul encourages us to bring “petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving” before God. Gratitude is not just something we feel when life is good; it is a posture we practice as we remember who God is, what He has done, and how faithful He continues to be. In this message, Pastor Dylan challenges us to see thanksgiving as more than a polite add-on to prayer. Gratitude shapes our perspective, strengthens our faith, and helps us recognize God’s goodness in every season. Whether you are walking through joy, uncertainty, waiting, or difficulty, this message is an invitation to pause, remember, and give thanks.

All Kinds of Prayer | Pray About Everything | Todd Ruth

What do you do with the things that keep you up at night? In Week 3 of our All Kinds of Prayer series, Todd Ruth continued our journey through 1 Timothy 2:1 by focusing on petition — bringing our needs, burdens, worries, requests, and everyday concerns before God. Prayer is not just for emergencies. It is not just for “big” spiritual moments. Scripture invites us to pray about everything because God cares about everything that concerns His children. When we bring our requests to Him, we are reminded that we do not have to carry life on our own. Whether you are walking through anxiety, uncertainty, pressure, disappointment, or simply trying to figure out your next step, this message is an encouragement to turn toward God in prayer and trust Him with what you are carrying. At Bethany, our vision is simple: Pursue God. Pursue People. Pursue Purpose. We hope this message helps you take a next step in your relationship with Jesus. Join us Sundays at 10:30 AM at Bethany Missionary Church in Elkhart, Indiana.

All Kinds of Prayer | Intercession | Brockton Miller

What does it really mean to pray for others? Intercession is more than a prayer category. It is standing in the gap, bringing people before the great Intercessor, Jesus. Brockton Miller, from Noble County Community Church & Eden Prayer Room, shares how intercession points us to the heart of the Gospel. From Moses standing between God and the people, to Jesus praying for us in John 17, to the Lord’s Prayer inviting us to pray, “Your kingdom come,” we see that intercession has always been part of God’s redemptive story. We are called to live an intercessional life for a Kingdom Come mission. That means we behold Jesus, behold others with compassion instead of judgment, and allow prayer to move us into obedience. Because prayer and mission were never meant to be separated. Prayer is the backbone of obedience, and intercession is prayer in action.
