Believers Church of Johnson City's mission is to help broken people to become devoted followers of Jesus. Tune in each week to hear Pastor Matt Smith. Visit our website believerschurchjc.com to learn more about us.
Why are we here? What is the driving purpose for our lives? In today's message we'll uncover Paul's answer to these questions - and evaluate how outlives compare
We are all discipled by something. The question becomes: what disciples us? Paul teaches the church in Philippi to imitate him. Join us as we go deeper into what this means.
One of Paul's greatest goals was to help the people of Phillipi understand the importance of mission. Healthy churches understand that mission must direct everything they do.
Roots grow deep when they're watered with the new life. This is a special point of emphasis for Paul in his letter to the Philippians. Join us as we take a close lookout what it looks like.
Belief is critical for the Christian Faith, but what does it mean? After the resurrection, Jesus visits the disciples and this visit will propel the disciples into a future they never could have imagined.
Deep churches require strong spiritual leadership, void of celebrities, platforms, or prestige. Join us as we grow deeper and discuss healthy leadership in the body of Christ.
Join us this week as we return to our series, Deep Church! Surrender is one of the most difficult parts of the Christian journey, but necessary for a deep church. Paul will illustrate what this looks like for the church in Philippi.
Through the first six parts of Deep Church, We've discussed ways to grow deeper roots in Christ so that we can be representatives of a healthy church. It's difficult to grow if we don't know how to. Today, we seek to help believers understand what growth looks like, what helps us grow, and what slows it. It's all about trusting the process.
We often resist the idea of obedience, but obedience is a critical part of being a Deep Church. In today's message we'll discover the benefits and the secret to Deep Obedience
Humility is the irrigation system of the Deep Church. If we want to flood the desert, we must learn how to live and serve with a humble spirit.
Completion is about finishing the race. It's about God constantly transforming us as we walk with Him. It's about growing our roots deeper through His continual work within us. Join us as we see what this means in the life of the Deep Church.
Followers of Jesus are disciples. This is central to a healthy root system. Join us as we continue in Philippians 1, discovering what the deep church looks like.
In order for churches to be healthy, the relationships have to be right. Unfortunately, this is regularly overlooked. If we want healthy churches we need people who forgive and work together free of strife and gossip. God loved the people in Philippi and we must learn this love as well.
A deep church is a healthy church that reproduces disciples. As we open this series, we turn to Philippians 3 and investigate the prize Paul believed was at the center of our efforts and work.
In the Book of Revelation, John spoke to seven churches located in Asia, which are: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardi, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Join us as we consider how the message to the Church in Pergamum is relevant for us today.
Jesus told His disciples that if they believed what they prayed, they could tell a mountain to move - and it would. But what did he mean? Join us as we flesh that out, and see how it ties into our vision for the coming year.
Our new vision at BC is to sow seeds for the next generation. Join us as we flesh out what this looks like as we move forward!
BC has a heart for multiplication. As we dive deeper into BC25, we will share our calling to plant churches that plant churches. We hope you'll journey along with us!
At BC, we are on a mission to help broken people become devoted followers of Jesus. The most important part of this is intentional disciple making. Join us for part 1 of our 2025 Vision Series as we discuss the year ahead

It's the third week of Advent. Today we explore another of Jesus' miracles, and see how it reveals the glory of God. "The word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, glory like that of a father's only son, full of grace and truth." John 1:14 CEB

How important is prayer during spiritual warfare? It means everything! Join us as we conclude our Fall Practice for 2024 with the topic of Praying in the Spirit.
Most weapons for spiritual warfare are offensive weapons. The Sword of the Spirit is for defense. Join us as Pastor Matt discusses how we use the sword in our most difficult moments in spiritual warfare.
It's been said that "many people miss Heaven by eighteen inches". This is to suggest that our minds are complex and often keep us from digesting what we need spiritually. Join us as we discuss protecting the mind with the helmet of salvation.
Little is as important in spiritual warfare as a heart of faith. As the enemy throws fiery darts, it's the shield of faith that works as protection.
We must fight spiritual warfare with righteousness and the breastplate must cover our hearts. Join us as we discuss protecting the heart at all costs.
Shoes matter. They help us stand our ground, and they enable us to advance in our spiritual battle. Join us as we discuss the preparation of the good news of peace-our shoes for spiritual warfare
Followers of Jesus must stand on truth in a world where the concept moves deeper and deeper into relativism. Join us as we learn about The Belt of Truth.
Every believer faces spiritual warfare, but we rarely understand why we're going through it. Understanding warfare will help us walk closer to Jesus with more confidence.
Community finds us surrounded by others, not just a number in a crowd. We conclude our series "It's Not Personal" by reflecting on what Peter had to say about early Christian community.
Community isn't just a good idea, it's deeper than that. We were made for it, and we can't fully follow Jesus without it.
We meet together because God wants to do work within us that we simply can't replicate on an individual level. There is something for each of us as we grow in the body of Christ.
We need one another. Scripture teaches that Christianity is a collective movement of believers doing life together. Join us as Pastor Matt discusses the myth of Christian individualism.
Building a culture of prayer must eventually lead to a “new normal.” Just us as we conclude our series Paradigm Shift by discussing what the new normal looks like.
In order for the culture to shift, a season of pruning must occur. This is normal and necessary. God wants our best and our response to discipline will lead the way.
As individuals shift, so goes the group. Join us as Pastor Matt continues to lead us toward the necessary Paradigm Shift at Believers Church.
Paradigm shifts begin with a personal shift. Courage, commitment, and desperation show us all how to move forward and shift the cultural. It all begins with prayer.
Paradigm shifts change the way we do things. Join us as Pastor Matt covers the importance of corporate prayer as the needed and necessary paradigm shift.
Paul was motivated by gospel saturation and a disciple-making consciousness. We must be motived by the same. Join us as we conclude Unstoppable Church until next summer!
