Bellevue Christian Church Podcast

Ruth opens with the story of a mother who lost just about everything—and, it closes with the story of a man who becomes a father. From beginning to end, it's a story of a God who is providentially at work in the lives of ordinary people like you and me and inviting us into the bigger story that is unfolding. Join us for a six-week journey, from Mother's Day to Father's Day, through the Book of Ruth starting Sunday, May 11.

Church shouldn't be boring. And, the book of the Acts is proof of that. In every generation of the church, people have rediscovered the story of the early church as it's told in the book of Acts—and it has set the church on fire. In a cultural moment where the church is in decline, we want to read the book of Acts page by page and highlight moments that have the potential to renew the church in our time. We don't just want to read stories from Acts, we want to live them. If that's what you want and you're just curious about faith, join us for Season 2 of Highlights from Acts.

How do you follow Jesus into the life you're made for? One step at a time. In our Everyday Faith teaching series, we explored the five foundational beliefs on which you build the life you're made for. Now, in Everyday Life, we're ready to start building the lives we're made for—what Jesus called “life to the fullest” (John 10v10). There's at least six overlapping areas of the life you're made for: moral life, emotional life, physical life, relational life, vocational life, and cultural life.

Prayer is an art. Anyone can pray, of course, just like any kid with a marker can make art. Like any art form, though, it's a skill that anyone can get better at by learning from the masters of the past and practicing it in your everyday life. In this ten-week teaching series, as we continue to learn what it looks like to “devote ourselves to prayer” in 2024, we're going to explore what the Bible says about the art of prayer and make room to practice it.
