Sunday Service (6/14/26) // Revelation 18:1-8 (ESV) // *The Fall of Babylon^ // 1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons,a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.3 For all nations have drunk[a] the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,“Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins,lest you share in her plagues;5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,since in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen,I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.'8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine,and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”Footnotesa.

"10 Plans The Father Has For You - Part 2" Pastor Daniel Kraft 6.21.26
Pastor Daniel preaches that we must be prepared for those who will come and seek to distort the Gospel of Jesus Christ at Bethany Community Church.
In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Jude 1-4, "The Danger of False Teachers, Part 2".
Pastor Daniel Stevens teaches on what it means to fight from victory instead of fighting for victory. Through Christ's finished work on the cross, believers have been given authority over sin and the schemes of the enemy. Rather than living in defeat, Christians are called to stand on God's promises, walk in obedience, and trust in the victory Jesus has already secured.This encouraging message highlights the importance of resisting the enemy's lies, embracing God's grace, and speaking faith-filled words over life's challenges. Pastor Daniel reminds us that spiritual victory comes as we submit ourselves to God, rely on His strength, and confidently declare His truth in every circumstance.#FightingFromVictory #PastorDanielStevens #VictoryInJesus #FaithFilledLiving #SpiritualBattle #TrustGod #ChristianFaith #GoodHopeChurch #BibleMessage #WalkInVictorySermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/victory-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
How do you overcome the labels others put on you? Jacob was labeled deceiver at birth. Through his story we will see how the grace of God showed him he was more than what he was labeled. We will learn how God gives us a new identity and how God shows us we are more than what others might say.Whether you have been following this series from the beginning or are joining us for the first time, we believe this message will encourage you and remind you of the transforming grace of God.

"10 Plans The Father Has For You - Part 1" Pastor Daniel Kraft 6.14.26
In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens shares how our approach to money reflects our trust in God. Financial stewardship is more than budgets and giving. It is about surrendering every area of life to Christ and allowing Him to shape our priorities. True freedom comes when we stop serving money and instead let God direct our hearts and decisions.As believers grow in faith, generosity becomes a natural expression of spiritual maturity. Through Spirit-led giving, obedience, and trust, we learn to break free from fear and develop an outward focus that blesses others. God desires not only to meet our needs but also to transform our hearts as we seek His kingdom above all else.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorDanielStevens #DealingWithMoney #FaithAndFinances #BiblicalGiving #Stewardship #ChristianGrowth #Generosity #SeekFirstTheKingdom #SpiritLedGivingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/dealing-with-money-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

This week, Pastor Daniel continued our One Another series by exploring the call to encourage one another from Hebrews 10:24-25. He reminded us that the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. God designed His people to strengthen, challenge, and support one another so that faith, love, and perseverance can endure through every season of life.Through personal stories and biblical teaching, we were challenged to see encouragement as more than kind words. Encouragement is love in action. It helps guard against spiritual drift, fuels perseverance, and reminds us that God often works through His people to bring hope, healing, and strength. As followers of Jesus, we are called to intentionally move toward one another, speak truth in love, and help each other keep our eyes fixed on Christ.

In this message, Pastor Daniel Stevens wraps up The Full Armor of God series by highlighting Paul's request for prayer in Ephesians 6. Paul didn't ask for comfort or an easier path. He asked for God's words and the courage to speak them boldly. That same prayer remains essential for believers and church leaders today.Pastor Daniel encourages us to strengthen our churches by supporting our pastors, serving faithfully, and growing in our own relationship with Christ. Together, we can stand firm against life's challenges, encourage future generations of leaders, and continue the mission God has called us to fulfill.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorDanielStevens #FullArmorOfGod #Prayer #StandTogether #FaithInAction #Ephesians6 #ChristianLeadership #ChurchFamily #KingdomWorkSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/armor-7-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Sunday Service (5/17/26) // *Revelation 17:7-18* (ESV) // *The Great Prostitute and the Beast* // 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit[a] and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. 9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”15 And the angel[b] said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”*Footnotes*a.

Friday Bible Study (5/15/26) // *7 Principles for Effective Ministry* //*Nehemiah Inspects Jerusalem's Walls* // 9 Then I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen. 10 But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant heard this, it displeased them greatly that someone had come to seek the welfare of the people of Israel.11 So I went to Jerusalem and was there three days. 12 Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me but the one on which I rode. 13 I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Dragon Spring and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire. 14 Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal that was under me to pass. 15 Then I went up in the night by the valley and inspected the wall, and I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned. 16 And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest who were to do the work.17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.” 18 And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work. 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they jeered at us and despised us and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?” 20 Then I replied to them, “The God of heaven will make us prosper, and we his servants will arise and build, but you have no portion or right or claim[a] in Jerusalem.”*Footnotes*a.

Pastor Daniel teaches that the Law works in partnership with the gospel to show me my need and point to God's grace in Jesus.
In this episode, Pastor Ben and Pastor Daniel discuss the recent sermon on Romans 3:19-20, "The Law Delivers the Bad News".
Sunday Service (5/10/26) // *Revelation 17:1-6* (ESV) // *The Great Prostitute and the Beast* // 17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.[a]When I saw her, I marveled greatly.*Footnotes*a.

Friday Bible Study (5/8/26) // *Nehemiah Sent to Judah* // 2 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence. 2 And the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid. 3 I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' graves, lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?” 4 Then the king said to me, “What are you requesting?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' graves, that I may rebuild it.” 6 And the king said to me (the queen sitting beside him), “How long will you be gone, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me when I had given him a time. 7 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.Website: https://mbchicago.org *FOLLOW US* Facebook: https://facebook.com/mbc.chicago Instagram: https://instagram.com/mbc.chicago TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@mbc.chicago Podcasts: Listen on Apple, Spotify & others *TO SUPPORT US* Zelle to: info@mbchicago.org Website: https://mbchicago.org/give Venmo: https://venmo.com/mbchurch DAF Donations: https://every.org/mbc.chicago PayPal: https://paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=AA74AC7V5WYMJ #Nehemiah #BookOfNehemiah #BibleStudy #BibleExplained #Bible #BiblicalStudies #BibleTeacher #WordOfGod #BiblicalLessons #BibleJournal #BibleReading #BibleStudyNotes #biblestudycommunity #ChicagoChurch #BibleVerse
