Preaching in parables was a teaching method that Jesus used. In some ways, parables were like a code designed to hide truth from some and reveal truth to others. It takes a spiritual mind to understand the truth of a parable. In this message, Brother Luke preaches about the purpose of parables. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03…

Good decision making is something we should all be interested in. For the child of God, there is a clear path to making decisions that honor God, especially in difficult times. In this message, Brother McNeil Honea preaches about what the Bible teaches on this subject. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/03.24.24.Good_.Decision.M…

Born again children of God have the privilege of learning about Christ. From the moment of being quickened by the Spirit, we have an opportunity to learn more and more about our Savior. In this message, I look at how this works. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/03.17.24.Learning.in_.the_.School.of_.Christ.Tim_.McCool.mp3 03.17…

The Book of Ephesians offers a perfect balance of doctrine and practice. The 1st 3 chapters are focused primarily on doctrine, and the last 3 on practical living. In this message, I look at the doctrine presented in the second chapter – how we are quickened, or born again. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/03.13.24.Quickened.by…

A lot of different things may attract us to the church. It might be the friendliness of a congregation, congregational singing, or even the sharing of a meal at church. But many are drawn by a revelatory and often new understanding of salvation by grace alone. Whatever brings a child of God to the truth, it is the truth of God’s grace that keeps th…

God’s creation is amazing for many reasons. One reason is because the very design of certain created creatures, teaches us great lessons. In this message, Brother Luke presents how 4 of God’s creations teach us important and valuable lessons. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/03.10.24.Creation.Teaches.Luke_.Hagler.mp3 03.10.24.…

It is easy to fall into the trap of constantly asking, “What’s wrong with people?” Although there may be times to ask that question, the real question is what Paul asked in Romans 7: What’s wrong with me? The way he looked at the conflict within – between the old human nature and the new spiritual nature – caused him to ask this question. In this m…

Self-Examination can be difficult. But it is very easy to examine others, while overlooking our own shortcomings. That is human nature. In this message, Brother Luke points out that when we fail to self-examine, and yet still criticize others, it is like swallowing a camel while straining at a gnat. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/20…

We often face such troubled times and darkness, until it is difficult to see that the Lord is there. But the Lord made a promise to His children in the book of Hebrews. In this message, I look at that promise. It reveals to us that even when we cannot see Him or feel Him, He is there. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/02.25.24.…

What does it mean to have a “good life?” The post-modern Christian culture would propose a very different definition of a good life, versus the word of God. In this message, Brother McNeil Honea looks at what it means for a child of God to experience a good life. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/02.25.24.A.Good_.Life_.McNeil.H…

When is the last time you heard about a sovereign God, who answers to no one, does as He please, and never has to ask our permission to save us? This is what I refer to as “Big God Theology.” In this message, I look at what God says about Himself in His word. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/02.18.24.Big_.God_.Theology.Tim_.Mc…

In part 2 of the message on Romans 10, Brother Luke continues to look at the true context of this famous chapter. Was Paul making an offer of eternal salvation? Or was he showing how born-again children of God can exit the slavish prison of thinking their confession or work is what takes them to heaven? http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/upload…

It is very easy to feed our human nature. Sometimes we even create situations that set us up for temptation. Recognizing how easy this occurs is the first step to resisting. In this message, Brother Luke examines how we can resist feeding lust or temptation. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/02.14.24.Lust_.Luke_.Hagler.mp3 02.1…

Darkness is everywhere today. The forces of Satan are coming at us in all areas of our lives. But darkness is not a new thing, it has been vexing God’s people for ages. In this message, I look at how darkness has come to the kingdom of God at different times, just as it is today. I hope it will encourage us to push back against the darkness we are …

Romans chapter 10 is often called the “Roman Road of Salvation”. When saying this, most are thinking about the way we get to heaven, or eternal salvation. In this message, Brother Luke looks at the true meaning of Romans 10, within the context of the Apostle’s Paul foundation laid in the previous 9 chapters. When viewed in this light, it becomes ve…

Mark 1:16-20 How many in this room would call themselves followers of Jesus? How many in this room would call themselves Christians? How many in this room would call themselves Disciples? All four Gospels and Acts include Jesus calling the first disciples and who they were. Mark 1:16-20 Matthew 4:18-22 Luke 5:4-11 John 1:29-2:2, John never names al…

If required to buy a lifetime’s worth of gas when I turned 16, it would have broken me financially. Thankfully, we don’t have to do that. We get the gas we need as we go along. The Lord does this with us. When we think we are forsaken or forgotten, the Lord provides what we need as we go along. Whether it was manna in the desert or even the covenan…

John 3:16 is probably the most well known verse in the Bible. It is also possibly the most misunderstood. In this message, Brother Luke takes up this popular verse, and presents an accurate view of what it means. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/02.04.24.John_.3.16.Luke_.Hagler.mp3 02.04.24.John.3.16.Luke.Hagler…

As believers in salvation by grace alone, we often hear the question – Why do you preach if you believe God does all the saving? This question presumes that the gospel is a part of saving us eternally. But that is not the purpose of the gospel. In this message, Brother Luke answers the question about why we preach. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-co…

Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” v.14-15 give us an overview of what is happening and coming. John the Baptist gets arrested and imprisioned by Herod Antipas because he spok…

In this message, Brother McNeil Honea looks at modern day sorcery, or trickery. Even though it may not look exactly like it once did, deception and trickery are the tools of Satan even today. We must be aware of the ways in which we can be tricked into believing things that aren’t true. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/01.28.2…

In this message, I look at how we can cultivate our faith. God is the giver of faith, and sadly, it often takes some amazing providence from God to cause us to grow in our faith towards Him. But whether we see some great miracle, or if we just look at Who He is, it should cause us to strengthen and increase our trust in Him. http://www.bethlehempbc…

Mark 1:12-13 • Mark mentions four things… 1. Jesus was drove into the wilderness for 40days. 2. Jesus was tempted by Satan. 3. Jesus was among wild animals. 4. Jesus had angels ministering to Him. • This is a significant event in the life ofJesus and allows for us to see the human side of Jesus. • But there is more to this story. • Mark only gives …

The Gospel of Mark, at the core is about Discipleship. A real relationship with Jesus, following Jesus, trusting Jesus, fellowship with Jesus, believing in the teachings of Jesus, being molded and shaped by Jesus, and preparing to face what Jesus faced. All the Gospels give an account of John proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. My favorite…John 1:29 …

In this message, I continue to look at what it means to nurture and encourage the body of Christ. Previously I examined what it does not look like, in the examples of Lot and Job’s miserable comforters. Now I begin to look at how we nurture and encourage what Christ refers to as His wife. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/01.21…

When Jesus told the bed-ridden man to take up his bed and walk, it was because Jesus had already done something to him. This is a beautiful picture of God’s mercy. First, He gives spiritual life to a wretched sinner, and then commands them to obey Him. It is not the other way around. In this message, Brother Luke demonstrates how we receive life fi…

Romans 8 We are sinful by nature, born into defiance against the Lord ever since sin entered into the world. v.2 tells us that our flesh is weak and we who are flesh are condemned. God gave us laws that proved our sinfulness. Not so we could be saved by the laws, but to be found guilty of it. To show us our sinfulness and have it stand out to us. W…

The Church of Christ is described as a body and as the wife of Christ. This week I focus on what it means to nurture and encourage the body of Christ. Rather than thinking about an ecclesiastical, untouchable term, I look at how we nurture and encourage the people that make up the body of Christ. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/…

According to the scripture, being born again is a “must” for the child of God. The question is – how does it happen? Do we do something to contribute to it? The answer is no. Just as we do not contribute to our natural birth, neither do we contribute to our spiritual birth. In this message, Brother Luke looks at the glorious truth of being born aga…

The Bible provides a lot of information about the fool. There are very stark lessons about the consequences of being associated with a Biblical fool or with the wise. In this message Brother Luke looks at several ways a fool can be identified. From their attitude to their emotions, a fool can be identified. The first step begins with a look in the …

On the first Sunday of 2024, my thoughts were stirred towards the church of God. Among the descriptions of God’s church, the Lord refers to His church as a body, a bride and a family. And He is the Creator of the physical body, the very first bride and even the initial governing authority – the family. In this message, I look at these beautiful des…

Philippians 3 Look out for the dogs…Paul is referring to the Judaizers. Judaizers were Jewish Christians who believed Jews had to follow the Mosaic Law and that Gentiles must be circumcised in order to be saved in obedience to Jewish Law. Paul is saying look out for anyone that is not in line with the teaching of Jesus. Paul was circumcised on the …

Asking how much someone weighs is normally an inappropriate question, especially to females! In this message, though, I ask that question in a different way. If the burdens we carry that weigh us down were physical and visible to all, how much would we weigh? There are so many carrying such heavy burdens. Thankfully, the Word of God speaks directly…

In the ongoing series on the basics of our salvation, Brother Luke looks at another “hot topic”. Did Christ’s sacrifice atone for the sins of all people in general, or did He atone specifically for the sins of His chosen. The scripture answers this very plainly, that Christ atoned for the sins of His people, and not an open-ended number that made s…

New Year’s 2024 - I Will Hope In the Lord Read Lamentations 3:22-24 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Steadfast love never ceases Mercies never come to an end Mercies are…
