• Sermon Series - A Soldier for Christ

  This Sermon series which began Memorial Day, focuses on becoming a great soldier for Christ.  Why is this so important? 

  Imagine if you would a military where some soldiers............

  • Are not disciplined
  • Sleep-in when they are tired
  • Casually show up for basic training
  • Leave because they don't like the color of the uniforms
  • Forsake righteous suffering or sacrifice
  • Are not willing to work
  • Are overly consumed with things outside their call of service
  • Give what is left instead of what is right
  • Do not even know they are soldiers

  If you can imagine this then you can imagine the current state of the church - God’s army!

  We cannot right the entire army.  We can only make sure that we individually and as Bethesda Community Church are disciplined, ready, focused on what's important, willing to do whatever it takes, know God's Word, be trained and prepared, obedient to our Commander-in-chief, and engaging the enemy on the battlefields of the Great Commission. Then and only then will we be considered as great soldiers for Christ. 

  The Scripture that will lead us through this series is 2nd Timothy.  The Messages will be brought as follows beginning Memorial Day.  Watch the Church Calendar for specific dates:
