Talk Is Cheap, Until It's Not
May 4, 2025
We spend our entire lives communicating—in the car, at the dinner table, through screens, and across boardrooms. But how often do we stop to consider the power behind our words? In the kickoff to our new series, Voices, Pastor Jason Britt challenges the myth that “talk is cheap.”
Drawing from the creation story in Genesis and the baptism of Jesus in Matthew, we discover that words don’t just tell stories—they create realities. Whether it’s the voice in your head or the voice in your mouth, your words are the greatest influence you have. Learn how to tune out the distortions of the world and tune into the one voice that defines who you truly are: the voice of your Heavenly Father.

Family and the Power of Voices that Shape Our Lives
May 11, 2025
In this special Mother’s Day message, Lead Pastor Jason Britt is joined by his wife, Nan Britt, and Discipleship Director Angela Buckland for a deep dive into the second week of our series, Voices.
We often underestimate the disproportionate power of words within our own homes. While words can create beautiful realities—like hearing “I love you” or “It’s a healthy baby”—they can also distort and destroy. Because family members are the people who know us best, they are also the ones we have the potential to hurt the most. Join us as we discuss how to move from being a “thermometer” that merely reflects the temperature of a home to a “thermostat” that intentionally sets a tone of life, faith, and encouragement.
Disproportionate Power
May 18, 2025
In this message from the “Summer at Bethlehem” series, Lead Pastor Jason Britt continues exploring the power of Voices—specifically the “disproportionate power” of the words we speak. Drawing from the Book of James, Pastor Jason challenges us to move past our “intentions” and take responsibility for our actions and our words.
Whether you are navigating the end of the school year (often called “Maycember“) or simply looking to improve your daily relationships, this message provides a roadmap for aligning your speech with the heart of Jesus.
