Helping the Next Gen Win
March 8, 2026
It is so much easier to criticize a generation than it is to build one. In this powerful message, guest speaker Clay Scroggins challenges us to move from being critics to “constructors.” Looking at the life of Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1, we discover that the greatest gift we can give the next generation isn’t better circumstances—it’s better capacity.
If God gave you a “blank check” and asked what you wanted for the next generation, what would you say? Solomon didn’t ask for wealth, fame, or protection; he asked for chokmah—the skill for living. Join us as we explore how to model submission, prioritize skill over status, and introduce the next generation to Jesus, the true and better King who gives wisdom generously to all.

Compassion Weekend
April 13, 2025
Everything on this earth has a lifespan—fashion, organizations, and even churches—but the Kingdom of God is eternal. In this special Compassion Weekend message, Pastor Matt Piland shares how Bethlehem Church is moving from neighborhood impact to the ends of the earth.
Using the story of Jesus blessing the children in Mark 10, Pastor Matt challenges our common understanding of “childlike faith.” He argues that Jesus wasn’t pointing to a child’s knowledge or wisdom, but to their utter dependence. Whether we are separated from God by the grip of global poverty or the anesthesia of American comfort, the cure is the same: returning to a place of total reliance on Jesus. Discover how sponsoring a child doesn’t just change their future—it disciples your own family and reawakens a heart for the nations.
Religious Figure Or Real-Life Savior?
April 20, 2025
Happy Easter! Today, we aren’t just gathering to remember a historical figure who is no longer with us. For the Christian faith, Easter is not a weekend of remembrance—it is a weekend of celebration. Our God is not dead; He is fully alive!
In this message, Pastor Jason Britt explores the results of a fascinating experiment: asking ChatGPT to name the most famous and significant person in human history. The answer was Jesus Christ. But while the world recognizes His fame, the real question is: Is He the most important person in your life? Using the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3, we look at what it truly means to be “born again”—to have your life begin all over again through the power of the Resurrection.
Facing Frustration
April 27, 2025
What do you do when your expectations and your realities collide? Whether it’s a “pregnant roller skate” of a rental car or a years-long delay in your career or marriage, we all face seasons of intense frustration. In this message, guest speaker Pastor Dave Edwards dives into Genesis 40 to explore the life of Joseph—a man who went from a dream to a pit, and from a palace back to a prison.
If you feel like you’re on lockdown or that life is on hold, you might be in your own “Chapter 40.” Pastor Dave shares three powerful keys to navigating these seasons, reminding us that frustration isn’t God’s punishment—it’s His preparation.
Kicking off 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
January 4, 2026
What if the next 21 days of your life impacted the next 21 years? As we step into 2026, Bethlehem Church is beginning a journey of intentional devotion. In this powerful kickoff message, Pastor Kevin explores the theology of fasting—not as a way to manipulate God, but as a way to align our hearts with His. By setting aside the “normal and good,” we make room for the “Greatest,” focusing our undivided attention on Jesus.
Drawing from Hebrews 12, we are challenged to do the hard work of “clearing the table.” Whether it’s a “weighted vest” of distractions or the “tangled hose” of sin, this message provides a roadmap for spiritual renewal. Learn how to throw off what hinders, confess what entangles, and fix your eyes on the Pioneer and Perfecter of our faith.
Easter 2026: The Questions the Resurrection Answers
April 5, 2026
This Easter at Bethlehem Church, Lead Pastor Jason Britt explores the ultimate turning point in human history: the Resurrection. We often view Easter as a beautiful tradition or a commercialized holiday filled with candy and bunnies, but for the first disciples, it was the definitive answer to the heavy, existential questions that define the human experience. The Resurrection doesn’t just provide a happy ending; it provides a new beginning by settling the questions of our purpose, our brokenness, and our future.
If you’ve ever wondered if your life has true meaning, why the world feels so broken, or if there is a peace that can actually sustain you in a world of fear, this message is for you. Discover why a “moderate” interest in Christianity isn’t an option and how the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can give life to your mortal body today.
God Works
April 12, 2026
In this special standalone message, we are honored to welcome our friend Dave Edwards to Bethlehem Church. In his message, “God Works,” Dave explores how God uses the “bitter waters” of our lives to reveal His character and His power.
Drawing from the journey of the Israelites in Exodus 15, Dave breaks down how God transitions us from rescue to renewal. We often want to skip the desert, but it’s in the dry places that we learn God isn’t just a bystander—He is an active worker in our hearts. Using the framework of the five key areas where God is constantly moving, this message will help you identify what He is doing in your life right now. As Philippians 2:13 reminds us, “It is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”
