    “Here and Now” | CHURCH UNBRANDED Week 1 | April 19th, 2026

    In this opener of our new series, “Church Unbranded,” Lead Pastor Jason Britt introduces a powerful "grounding technique" for the soul. In a world defined by noise pollution, political division, and constant distraction, we often lose sight of the bigness and beauty of what we are a part of. Using the Lord’s Prayer as our guide, we discover that the Kingdom of God is not a spiritual metaphor or a "someday" hope—it is a reality happening in the here and now. As citizens of this Kingdom, we are called to be an "outpost of hope" in the middle of a broken world. 💡 Key Takeaways: The Grounding Prayer: The Lord’s Prayer is more than a tradition; it is a way to reconnect to reality when emotions or culture try to pull us away. It reminds us that we are safe, we are here, and God is present. The Doxology of Power: The phrase "For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory" was used by the early church to anchor their worship. It shifts our focus from our petitions (asking God) to His praise (honoring the King). A Kingdom, Not a Metaphor: Jesus mentioned the Kingdom over 120 times in the Gospels. If ”your” Jesus only exists to get you to heaven when you die, you are missing the power He wants to establish through you today. The Church as an Outpost: Imagine a remote settlement in a dangerous frontier. That is the Church. We aren't built for comfort; we are a piece of "home" (heaven) planted in hostile ground. The Gates of Hell: When Jesus promised that the "gates of hell" would not overcome His Church, He was standing in Caesarea Philippi—a place of literal pagan debauchery known as the "Gates of Pan." Jesus isn't intimidated by the darkness of our culture; He is the Light that breaks through it. Unity Over Division: A culture that is deeply divided desperately needs a Church that is deeply united. Our mission is to move outward so the Kingdom can move forward. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Heart Behind the “Church Unbranded” Series 03:15 – Video: New Salem Church Baptisms 04:44 – Divided Culture vs. United Church  07:24 – The Grounding Technique: Reconnecting to the present 10:15 – Praying the Lord's Prayer Together 13:40 – Starting and ending with the Kingdom 17:25 – Dallas Willard: Living a life with God at the center 21:44 – The Point of the Church 23:31 – Me, Myself, and I: Escaping the "Unholy Trinity" 24:20 – What Jesus Can Do FOR You or What He Wants to Do THROUGH You   26:06 – The Frontier Outpost: Planting hope in hostile territory 27:30 – Caesarea Philippi: Standing at the literal "Gates of Hell" 29:44 – Matthew 16:18 - The Gates of Hell Will Not Overcome 32:29 – God’s Kingdom Shows Up In The Middle of Darkness  37:16 – The 5 C’s: Identifying your posture toward the Church 44:19 – The 7-Day Challenge: Praying for God’s presence where your feet are planted ✝️ Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:9–13 1 Chronicles 29:11 John 18:36 Matthew 16:18–19 We exist to lead people to discover a new life in Christ.

    “God Works” | Dave Edwards | April 12th, 2026

    In this special standalone message, we are honored to welcome our friend Dave Edwards to Bethlehem Church. In his message, "God Works," Dave explores how God uses the "bitter waters" of our lives to reveal His character and His power. Drawing from the journey of the Israelites in Exodus 15, Dave breaks down how God transitions us from rescue to renewal. We often want to skip the desert, but it’s in the dry places that we learn God isn't just a bystander—He is an active worker in our hearts. Using the framework of the five key areas where God is constantly moving, this message will help you identify what He is doing in your life right now. As Philippians 2:13 reminds us, "It is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." 💡 Key Takeaways: The 5 Areas of God’s Work The Area of Rescue: This is the work of salvation. God doesn't just meet us where we are; He brings us out. The Area of Release: This is the work of forgiveness - letting go of the past so we can walk into the future. The Area of Requirement: This is the work of trust. God provides exactly what we need, even when it’s not what we expected. The Area of Refusal: This is the work of surrender - saying "no" to our own way so we can say "yes" to His. The Area of Renewal: This is the work of the Spirit - the process of being made new from the inside out. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Welcome from Guest Speaker Dave Edwards 00:49 – Survey of Who Is In the Room (Different Generations)  05:40 – Philippians 2:13: The Thing That Unites Us  08:12 – Setting Up The 5 Essential Areas God Could Be At Work 09:58 – Area 1: Rescue – The Work of Salvation (Exodus 15:22) 14:21 – Area 2: Release – The Work of Forgiveness (Exodus 15:22) 18:33 – Area 3: Requirement – The Work of Trust (Exodus 15:23)  26:06 – Area 4: Refusal – The Work of Surrender (Exodus 15:24-25)  27:26 – Area 5: Renewal – The Work of the Spirit (Exodus 15:26-27) 31:09 – Wherever God is at Work in Your Life is the Finished Work of Jesus 34:38 – God Points to a Tree → The Finished Work of Jesus 35:14 – Prayer - “Apply The Tree To Me”  36:44 – Closing Prayer  ✝️ Key Scriptures: Exodus 15:22-26 Philippians 2:13 Psalm 103:1-5 2 Corinthians 5:17 We exist to lead people to discover a new life in Christ.

    The Questions the Resurrection Answers | EASTER 2026 | April 5, 2026

    This Easter at Bethlehem Church, Lead Pastor Jason Britt explores the ultimate turning point in human history: the Resurrection. We often view Easter as a beautiful tradition or a commercialized holiday filled with candy and bunnies, but for the first disciples, it was the definitive answer to the heavy, existential questions that define the human experience. The Resurrection doesn't just provide a happy ending; it provides a new beginning by settling the questions of our purpose, our brokenness, and our future. If you’ve ever wondered if your life has true meaning, why the world feels so broken, or if there is a peace that can actually sustain you in a world of fear, this message is for you. Discover why a "moderate" interest in Christianity isn't an option and how the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can give life to your mortal body today. 💡 Key Takeaways: The First Words of Easter: Whether it was an angel or Jesus Himself, the message was consistent: "Do not be afraid" and "Peace be with you." Jesus meets us in our circumstances with peace before He ever changes them. The Problem of the Heart: We often look for a savior to fix the world "out there,” but the gospel addresses the sin inside us. The heart of the problem is the problem of the human heart. Transformation over Information: Easter isn't a historical fact to be remembered; it is a reality to be lived. There are no shortcuts to transformation—it only comes through the power of the Resurrected King. Infinite Importance: As C. S. Lewis noted, Christianity is either of no importance or of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is "moderately" important. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Welcome to Easter at Bethlehem Church 01:05 – Let’s Worship Together!  02:52 – Worship: I Know A Name  07:25 – Put Yourself In The Scene 12:19 – Worship: The Wonderful Blood  15:06 – Worship: Jesus Paid It All  16:15 – Worship: The Blood  21:42 – Worship: Owe You Praise  24:14 – Prayer With Pastor Jason  26:40 – Diving in to the Message 27:49 – Easter Candy Fun Facts  29:45 – More than a Memory: Why we gather to celebrate a Living Savior 30:15 – Audacious Claims that Jesus Makes  32:59 – Is the Resurrection a holiday or a reality? 34:43 – What the eyewitnesses saw: Nobody expected an empty tomb 36:51 – The First Words: Why "Do Not Be Afraid" is the message of our time 39:58 – The Four Existential Questions: Why am I here? 41:12 – What’s wrong with the world?

    Judas: The Slow Drift to Betrayal | EVERYDAY DISCIPLE - Week 3

    In the week leading up to Easter, we continue our Everyday Disciple series by looking at one of the most infamous names in human history: Judas Iscariot. We often imagine Judas as a visible villain, but the reality is much more unsettling. Judas didn't look like a traitor; he was the trusted treasurer, the straight-laced disciple, and the one the others likely pointed to as a model of stability. In this message, Executive Pastor Matt Piland explores the "slow drift" of Judas. No one—not even Judas himself—starts their journey with Jesus intending to end it in betrayal. Yet, through small compromises, unchecked greed, and a heart that was "near" Jesus but not "with" Him, Judas committed the ultimate crime. Discover how to identify the signs of drifting in your own life and why the greatest sin isn't an act of failure, but a failure to repent. 💡 Key Takeaways: The Myth of the Monster: Judas didn't wear a black robe; he was highly respected by the other disciples. Sin is often camouflaged by outward "righteousness" and religious activity. The Smokescreen of Moral Outrage: Judas was loudest about "caring for the poor" while quietly stealing from the money bag. We are often most offended by others' sins in the areas where we are quietly drifting ourselves. The Anatomy of the Drift: Drifting doesn't happen in a moment; it happens in a thousand small steps. Unchecked sin eventually leads to a hardened heart and a distorted view of God. Remorse vs. Repentance: Both Peter and Judas failed Jesus. Judas felt remorse and ran from Jesus; Peter felt repentance and ran to Jesus. One believed his guilt was bigger than God’s grace; the other believed God’s grace was bigger than his guilt. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: "Everyday Disciple" Bumper 01:24 – Review: Peter’s Regret and Thomas’s Doubt 02:58 – The Infamy of Judas: Dante’s Inferno and the 9th Circle 04:13 – Matthew 26: The 30 pieces of silver and the kiss 07:45 – The "Trusted" Disciple: Why no one saw the betrayal coming 09:45 – The Treasurer: Why Judas looked more stable than Peter 13:15 – Like Judas, We All Can Drift 15:00 – Mary and Martha (What Judas Thought) in John 12:4-6 17:08 – The Progression of Sin: How the "Slow Drift" works 21:54 – Hebrews 3: Why we need others to yell when we drift 22:47 – The Problem With Unchecked Sin 24:55 – The Problem for Many of Us: We Think We Can Control Sin but We Can’t 27:15 – Jesus Offering Judas a Chance to Repent  31:01 – Peter vs. Judas: Two paths after the fall (Remorse vs. Repentance) 31:50 – A Moment for Confession: Preparing for Holy Week ✝️ Key Scriptures: Matthew 26:14-16, 47-50  Matthew 27:3-5 Acts 1:18 John 13:21-29; 12:4-6 Luke 9:1-2 Hebrews 3:12-13  1 John 1:9 We exist to lead people to discover a new life in Christ.

    "Why Doubt Isn't the Opposite of Faith" | EVERYDAY DISCIPLE - Week 2

    In Week 2 of our series, Everyday Disciple, Lead Pastor Jason Britt tackles a struggle everyone faces but few Christians want to admit: Doubt. We often label Thomas as "Doubting Thomas," letting one moment of uncertainty define his entire legacy. But the humanity of a disciple shows us that doubt isn't a deal-breaker—it can actually be the doorway to a deeper, more resilient faith. Whether your doubt is born from intellectual questions or, like Thomas, from "disappointed hope" and situational crisis, Jesus isn't intimidated by your uncertainty. He didn't shame Thomas for wanting proof; He provided His scars. Discover why a faith that has never been tested is a faith that can’t be trusted, and how bringing your questions to Jesus moves your convictions from the "leaves" of public opinion to the "roots" of core belief. 💡 Key Takeaways: Doubt vs. Disbelief: Disbelief is a heart that refuses to trust; doubt is a mind struggling to reconcile reality with faith. Disbelief is quitting; doubt is questioning. The Source of Doubt: Most doubt is situational, not dispositional. Thomas was fiercely loyal in John 11, but he was "crushed" by the cross in John 20. Our deepest doubts are often born from our deepest disappointments. The "Tree" of Conviction: Not all beliefs function the same way. Public Convictions (Leaves): Beliefs shaped by others; the most fragile. Personal Convictions (Limbs): Personally examined and sturdy. Core Convictions (Roots): Deep beliefs that anchor us when the storm hits. The Goal of Doubt: The goal of an everyday disciple isn’t to avoid doubt, but to let doubt deepen your roots. In the hands of Jesus, doubt won't destroy your faith—it will deepen it. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: "Everyday Disciple" Bumper 01:30 – Recapping the Disciples: Moments of Infamy (Peter, Thomas, Judas) 03:59 – First Date Fails: Why our worst moments shouldn't define us 05:52 – Introducing Thomas: Moving past the "Doubting" label 07:58 – Is doubt a deal-breaker?

    Why Failure Doesn’t Have to Be Final | EVERYDAY DISCIPLE - Week 1

    Welcome to Week 1 of our new series, Everyday Disciple. Most of us wouldn't describe our daily lives as "extraordinary"—they feel routine, predictable, and very ordinary. Yet, the Gospels show us that Jesus didn't scout the religious elite; He called ordinary, everyday people to rearrange their lives around Him. In this kickoff message, Lead Pastor Jason Britt looks at the life of Peter—a man defined by his impulsive passion and his infamous failure. We often think being a disciple means having it all together, but disciples aren't perfect people; they are people who are in training. Whether you are dealing with regrets of action, inaction, or reaction, discover why your worst moment doesn't have to be your defining moment. In the hands of Jesus, regret isn't the end of your story—it’s where redemption begins. 💡 Key Takeaways: The Definition of a Disciple: A disciple is more than a believer; they are a learner, student, and apprentice. It means moving Jesus from the "sidelines" to the center of every ambition, relationship, and decision. The Anatomy of Regret: Regret is a rational emotion connected to our choices. Whether it's something we did (action), something we missed (inaction), or the way we handled a crisis (reaction), we all carry it. The Prayer of Jesus: Jesus didn’t pray that Peter would never fail; He prayed that Peter’s faith wouldn’t be finished when he failed. Failure is an event, not an identity. From Denial to Boldness: 53 days after Peter denied Jesus to a servant girl, he stood before thousands at Pentecost to declare Jesus as Lord. Grace is the bridge between our worst moment and our greatest mission. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: "Everyday Disciple" Bumper 01:00  – Easter Invite from Pastor Jason  03:23 – Setting up the New Series  05:32 – What is a Disciple?  08:28 – Famous vs. Infamous: The moments that define us 10:57 – The Profile of Peter: Fisherman, Impulsive, Confident, and Ordinary 14:29 – Peter’s Plan is Our Plan: Faithfulness  18:42 – Something We All Face: Regret  19:25 – Truth About Following Jesus (Being a Disciple)  21:52 – The Three Types of Regret: Action, Inaction, and Reaction 25:56 – The Race to the Tomb: Why Peter was being outrun by John 28:12 – Jesus' Promise: "When you have turned back..." 30:37 – Your worst moment is not your defining moment 32:15 – Acts 2: The man who denied Jesus now declares Him 34:32 – Not a Redo, but Redemption  36:15 – What Peter’s Story Actually Is  39:25 – Closing Prayer: Grace for your everyday regrets ✝️ Key Scriptures: Luke 22:31-34; 54-62  Acts 2:14 John 21 ✨ TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP: If you realize that you’ve been following at a distance and you’re ready to step into the grace of Jesus, we want to walk with you.

    "Helping The Next Gen Win" | Guest Speaker: Clay Scroggins

    It is so much easier to criticize a generation than it is to build one. In this powerful message, guest speaker Clay Scroggins challenges us to move from being critics to "constructors." Looking at the life of Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1, we discover that the greatest gift we can give the next generation isn’t better circumstances—it’s better capacity. If God gave you a "blank check" and asked what you wanted for the next generation, what would you say? Solomon didn't ask for wealth, fame, or protection; he asked for chokmah—the skill for living. Join us as we explore how to model submission, prioritize skill over status, and introduce the next generation to Jesus, the true and better King who gives wisdom generously to all. 💡 Key Takeaways: Capacity Over Circumstances: We often try to make life easier for those following us, but wisdom is what allows them to flourish regardless of how hard life gets. Submission is the Start: Wisdom doesn't begin with information; it begins with worship. We inspire wisdom in others by modeling our own dependence on God. Skill vs. Status: In Hebrew, wisdom means "skill." We help the next gen win when we redefine success as how well we serve rather than how high we climb. The Greater Solomon: While Solomon started well and ended tragically, Jesus is the King who is Wisdom personified. He doesn't just give us advice; He gives us a new heart. 📌 Timestamps:  00:00 – Pastor Jason Introduces Pastor Clay  02:32 – What Clay Has Learned about the Next Generation  05:22 – Building a Foundation for the Next Generation  06:20 – What Do You Want for the Next Generation?  07:01 – What the Almighty God Says He Wants for the Next Generation  08:02 – Solomon steps into leadership 10:36 – Circumstances vs. Capacity  14:22 – TRUTH 1: Teaching submission to the Sovereign Lord 20:57 – Takeaways from 2 Chronicles 1:7-12 24:28 – TRUTH 2: Seeking skill over status 25:21 – Redefining success: Wisdom is skilled living 28:32 – TRUTH 3: Becoming the example, not just the advice 31:54 – What The Next Generation Needs: Men and Women Who Are Willing to Repent 32:50 – Are you Willing to Ask for Wisdom? 33:37 – King Solomon vs. King Jesus (Jesus is the Better King)  34:33 – The True Call to Help the Next Generation Win 34:55 – Closing Prayer ✝️ Key Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 1:1, 7-12 James 1:5 1 Corinthians 1:30 We exist to lead people to discover a new life in Christ.

    “Spirit-Filled People” | FAMILIAR STRANGER

    In the conclusion of our series, Familiar Stranger, Lead Pastor Jason Britt looks at the birth of the Church in Acts 2. We often entertain ourselves with the "supernatural" on a screen through movies and shows, yet we often struggle to embrace the supernatural reality of the Holy Spirit in our actual lives. If everything about our salvation is supernatural—from the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection—why would we expect to sustain our Christian walk through natural strength alone? Pastor Jason connects the dots between the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai and the pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost. While the Law was once written on stone, the Holy Spirit now writes it on our hearts. Being a "Spirit-filled person" isn't about chasing miracles; it’s about a life so marked by Jesus that it can only be explained by His power. When we move from "trying" to "trusting," we become the witnesses God called us to be. 💡 Key Takeaways: Supernatural Sustenance: You cannot live a supernatural life in natural strength. The Holy Spirit is our essential Helper for a life that is distinctly different. Sinai vs. Pentecost: At Sinai, the fire marked a place; at Pentecost, the fire marks a people. The Holy Spirit transforms us from the inside out. The Spirit’s Gaze: The Holy Spirit’s "spotlight ministry" is always to make much of Jesus. A Spirit-filled life is a Jesus-centered life. Obedience Over Readiness: Baptism isn't about having your act together—it is a radical act of personal obedience and a public boast in the work of Christ. ✝️ Key Scriptures: Acts 2:1-41 Exodus 19-20 (The Sinai connection) Genesis 11:4 (The Babel connection) ✨TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP: If you live near one of our campuses and feel that baptism is YOUR next step, we would love to baptize you here at Bethlehem Church!
