Bethel Baptist Church Galesburg

We interview Toni Doubet and discuss the Library Ministry she heads up, as well as "What'cha Reading" (obviously, with the Library) and "Redeeming the World", focused on creation, since Toni and her husband love hiking/camping.

Acts 1:6-11An overview of the book of Acts, including other New Testament books covered chronologically within our study of Acts. This message covers how God grows His church despite His followers and through His followers.

John 20:1-16

John 12:2-8More than just contrasting Judas and Mary, we see the appeal and addiction of being calculated criticism as well as the transforming power of simply worshiping Jesus.

Mark 12:28-34

We interview our new Director of Stewardship, Wayne Carl.

Matthew 19:13-26What does it look like to come to Jesus empty-handed? So many of us come to Jesus holding onto so much. And Jesus has asked us to let those things go, and come, follow Him.

Kevin, Weston, and Damon discuss how they have been tackling what to preach on in our New Testament plan for this year. Also, a brief segment of What'cha Reading as well as Redemptive Recap.

Luke 17:1-10Jesus warns his disciples not to lead others astray into temptation, but to confront and forgive fellow believers. As we trust God faithfully we must also serve humbly.

John 9:1-5Spiritual blindness keeps us from seeing our blindness, and only Jesus is the one who can grant us true Spiritual sight to see Him and so many other aspects of our lives.

Matthew 17: 1-8Jesus bring his disciples up a mountain where he unveils his glory before Peter James and John. Moses and Elijah appear as well, but Gods voice from heaven says listen to Jesus, not the labor the prophets.

Luke 9:12-17A deep dive into the miracle of the feeding of the 5000, answering the question as to why it's the only miracle outside of the resurrection that is repeated in all four gospels.

Luke 8:26-39Jesus casts out a legion of demons from a possessed man. The crowds cast him out after that because he disrupted their way of life.

Matthew 12:31-32While this passage is often misunderstood, proper interpretation helps us wrap our heads around God's plan for forgiveness and salvation, and gives us both a warning and hope in this life and the next.

Kevin Fogerty - preaching

Jesus uses a patch and wineskins to explain a key element of all of life, including following Him.

Guest Speaker - Jim Combs from The Timothy Initiative.

Luke 4:1-13Jesus faces three temptations from the devil, who tries to get him to question God's provision, plans, and protection. Jesus stands firm, quotes scripture, is filled with the Spirit and seeks the Father in prayer.

Mary and Joseph leaving 12-year-old Jesus behind in Jerusalem is an excellent example of how we too can easily be busy doing our religious duty and leave Jesus behind. He is not hard to find, but easy to miss.

Kiera Spilman joins us to talk about how children and families will be incorporated in the church's plan to go chronologically through the New Testament in a year.

Paul compares children of the promise (Sarah) and children of slavery (Hagar). One tried to help God. One was miraculously helped by God.
