    Do We Need a Second Touch?

    Sunday, May 31, 2026 | Guest Speaker: Alfredo Heredia Preacher, Bedford Church of Christ In a powerful bilingual message, Alfredo Heredia challenged the congregation to examine how they see the people around them. Using the account of the blind man in Mark 8:22-25, who required a second touch from Jesus before he could see clearly, Brother Heredia asked a penetrating question: Do we need a second touch from Christ to see people the way God sees them? The sermon emphasized that while the world often sees hatred, division, greed, injustice, and conflict, God sees souls worthy of His love and redemption. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because of their spiritual blindness, and today many remain spiritually blind to the peace and salvation available through Him. Drawing from the blind man's healing, Brother Heredia explained that many Christians can fall into the habit of seeing people as objects, obstacles, statistics, or inconveniences rather than as eternal souls created in God's image. Our evangelism suffers when we fail to view others through God's eyes. Through personal testimony, Brother Heredia shared how an older man named Weldon Bennett persistently knocked on his family's door, refusing to give up despite repeated rejection. Because one faithful Christian saw a family as souls rather than a closed door, an entire family eventually came to Christ. That story served as a powerful reminder that every Christian is where they are today because someone cared enough to share the gospel. The lesson called believers to remember their own salvation, recognize the lost condition of the world, and develop Christ-like compassion. True love for God is demonstrated by love for our neighbors and a willingness to share the hope of salvation. Christians must look beyond appearances, social status, race, age, or personal differences and see what God sees: souls in need of Jesus. Brother Heredia concluded by urging the church to pray for a "second touch" that restores spiritual clarity, deepens compassion, and renews a passion for evangelism. When we see people through God's eyes, we become more effective disciples, more compassionate neighbors, and more faithful ambassadors of Christ.

    Evangelism Our Mission

    On Sunday, May 31, 2026, guest speaker Rodney Carter from Home Mission led the morning Bible class, "Evangelism: Our Mission." Drawing from Matthew 28:18-20, Rodney reminded the congregation that evangelism is not reserved for preachers, elders, or ministry leaders; it is the responsibility of every Christian. Jesus' Great Commission calls believers to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach, continuing Christ's mission of seeking and saving the lost. Rodney emphasized that evangelism begins with understanding the gospel, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and sharing that message with others through both our words and our daily example. He challenged Christians to move beyond their comfort zones, invest in the spiritual growth of new believers, and recognize that evangelism often starts with simple acts of faithfulness, kindness, and hope. The class highlighted the importance of spiritual maturity, ongoing discipleship, and a genuine concern for the eternal destiny of others. Rodney encouraged believers to pray for open doors, seize opportunities to share their faith, and trust that God can use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary kingdom work. His message was a powerful reminder that the harvest is ready, and every Christian has a role in bringing souls to Christ.

    Missionary Mentality

    On Sunday, May 17, Cole Tuck delivered a powerful sermon titled “Missionary Mentality,” challenging Christians to embrace the mindset of true evangelism. Drawing from Matthew 28 and 1 Thessalonians 1:5, the message emphasized that every believer is called to share the Gospel, not just preachers or church leaders. Cole contrasted the world’s “killer instinct” mentality, illustrated through athletes like Kobe Bryant, with the Christ-centered mindset believers should have when reaching the lost. He explained that effective evangelism is not about aggression, but about faithfully communicating the Gospel with words, evidence, conviction, and godly character. The sermon highlighted four essential elements of biblical evangelism: Verbal Communication:  The Gospel must be spoken, not merely lived silently. Evidence:  Christians should support their faith with Scripture and reason. Passion & Conviction:  The Gospel is a life-changing truth and should be shared boldly and sincerely. Character:  A believer’s life must align with the message they preach. Cole encouraged the church to examine what may be missing in their own evangelism and challenged believers to carry out the Great Commission with courage, authenticity, and compassion for souls. The message served as both a call to action and a reminder that God can strengthen every weakness as His people seek to reach others for Christ.

    Times Up

    On Sunday, May 10, 2026 (Mother’s Day), Cole Tuck delivered a powerful and convicting message titled “Time’s Up.”  Starting with heartfelt appreciation for biological and spiritual mothers, the sermon quickly moved into 1 Peter 4, challenging believers to examine their core purpose in life. Rather than chasing happiness and fleeting pleasures as the world does, Christians are called to “arm themselves” with the same purpose Christ had, to suffer in the flesh, cease from sin, and live for the will of God. Cole emphasized that enough time has already been wasted on sensuality, lust, drunkenness, and worldly excesses. The world will be surprised by our different lifestyle and will often malign us for it, but we must remember that God, not the world, is the final Judge of the living and the dead. The message is a strong call to leave the “pig pen,” stop returning to empty sin, and use the remaining time for eternal things. Core takeaway: The time spent chasing sin is sufficient. It’s time to move forward in righteousness, even when it costs us comfort and popularity.

    Bible Class - Proverbs Part 1

    On Sunday morning, May 10, 2026, Cole Tuck kicked off an exciting new Bible class on the Book of Proverbs. He highlighted why this often-neglected Old Testament book is one of the most practical and wisdom-packed treasures in Scripture. Cole explained that Proverbs is wisdom literature written in poetic style, full of general truisms (true most of the time, with exceptions) meant to guide everyday life. He unpacked Solomon’s background, the wisest man who asked God for an understanding heart, and the book’s purpose: to impart wisdom, instruction, prudence, and righteousness to people of all stages (the simple, the young, the wise). The foundational verse (Proverbs 1:7) took center stage: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Cole emphasized that true wisdom starts with revering God and remaining humble and teachable throughout life.

    The Binding of Isaac

    In his powerful sermon "The Binding of Isaac" (Genesis 22), Cole Tuck explores one of the Bible’s most challenging and profound stories. God tests Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his long-awaited miracle son, Isaac, the child through whom God promised to build a great nation. Abraham obeys without hesitation, believing not only in God’s power but in His unwavering goodness. Hebrews 11 reveals Abraham’s reasoning: he trusted God could even raise Isaac from the dead. This account foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The striking parallels between Isaac and Jesus highlight God’s redemptive plan, yet with one crucial difference: Isaac was spared by a ram, while Jesus, the true Lamb of God, was not. Through this story, we learn to trust God’s power and love even when His ways are incomprehensible, moving beyond fear-based obedience to faith rooted in the loving character of our Father. The sermon calls believers to deeper trust, especially in trials, anchored in the cross where God’s power and love perfectly meet.

    Bible Class - Romans Part 29

    On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Cole Tuck led our morning Bible class through Romans 16. This final chapter is rich with personal greetings, practical theology on service and leadership, and strong warnings against division. Cole emphasized that deacons are servants, not junior elders, highlighted the vital supporting roles of women like Phoebe, Prisca, and others in the early church, and showed Paul’s deep appreciation for everyday believers—slaves, women, and house churches alike. The lesson closed with a call to wisdom in what is good, innocence in what is evil, and confidence that God will crush Satan under our feet.
