Bethesda Christian Church Sermon of the Week

Pastor Noah’s message focuses on how the Gospel doesn’t just save—it radically changes lives. No one is too far gone to be transformed by Jesus. Our past doesn't disqualify us—God meets us in our brokenness and reshapes us for His purposes. Transformation is both a one-time event and an ongoing process of grace. Whether you're resisting, struggling, or growing, the Gospel is for you—right now.

This service is an example of what it means to be the active Church. Jesus gave the Church both vision (a Kingdom open to all) and mission (to call people to repentance and belief). That mission is still ours today—to know, live, and spread the Word. The cross stands as both a symbol and an invitation: to stay present, united, and committed to being the Church in both joyful and difficult moments.

Salvation in Jesus can only happen when the good news is preached. Evangelism is not a rare gift or foreign mission, but a normal, urgent part of following Jesus - wherever we go. Will you give of yourself so souls might be saved?

The Christian life is not a checklist of rules, but a life shaped by love and grace. Just as Christ gave Himself up as a fragrant offering, we are called to live sacrificially—with kindness, forgiveness, and love. True sacrifice isn’t drudgery—it’s worship that rises to God like a pleasing aroma.

In this message, we explore the beauty of prayer as a fragrant offering to God—like incense rising before His throne. Drawing from Psalm 141, Exodus, and Revelation, we see how our prayers, when offered with faith, gratitude, humility, and consistency, become a pleasing aroma to the Lord. Learn how to cultivate a daily prayer life that’s Spirit-ignited, sincere, and powerful. Let your prayers rise—not out of duty, but out of delight.
