Bethany Church: Message Audio
The Joy of The Mission

In this message, Pastor Jonathan teaches that mission is not only a calling, it's a joy. We are chosen by God, empowered by His Spirit, backed by His authority, and filled with joy as we see Him move through us. When we step into His mission, we discover purpose, partnership, and supernatural joy that nothing else on earth can offer.

Key Takeaways

  • The Joy of Being Chosen - God does not send strangers — He sends those who stay close to Him. If you want a mission from God, stay near His presence and say, “Here I am — send me.”
  • The Joy of Trusting - Being sent isn’t always easy, but God provides. We go as lambs among wolves, trusting Him for protection, provision, and purpose — knowing rejection comes with the mission, but so does His power.
  • The Joy of PartnershipWe never go alone. God gives the words, the power, and the authority we need. When you step out in faith, heaven steps out with you.
  • The Joy of a Mission Fulfilled - There is a unique joy that comes from being used by God. Like the 72 returning with joy, we celebrate seeing lives changed, hearts opened, and the Kingdom advancing.

Made For Mission

You were not saved to sit, you were saved to be sent. In this powerful message, Pastor Joakim reminds us that every believer is called to mission: locally, nationally, and globally, all at the same time. God is igniting a fire in His Church to carry His Word, His presence, and His power into every sphere of influence. This message unpacks three spiritual forces that, when combined, activate unstoppable passion for the Gospel: 

Key Takeaways

  • The Power of Seeds - God’s Word is living energy. Our job isn’t to convert—it’s to plant the seed of the Gospel through words, actions, and obedience. Every seed sown prepares someone for their “day of visitation.”
  • The Power of Sacrifice - Mission always costs something. Whether it’s convenience, comfort, finances, or reputation—when we pay the price for the Gospel, God releases eternal impact through our lives.
  • The Power of Sanctification - Mission flows from a life set apart for Jesus. When we hear His Word and live it out visibly, it sets us on fire with an unstoppable passion to share Him with the world.

The Seed & the Shovel

Growth in God doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by sowing seed and digging deep. In this message, Pastor Dustin teaches the powerful principle seen in the life of Isaac in Genesis 26: you will never step into the full blessing of God if you stop sowing and stop digging. 

Key Takeaways 

  • Sow and Dig in Every SeasonDon’t wait for the “perfect moment.” Isaac planted in famine and God blessed him a hundredfold. 
  • Anticipate OppositionThe enemy always attacks where the water flows. Resistance is not a sign to stop—it’s a sign you’re close to breakthrough (John 15:18).
  • Relocate & Re-DigWhen a well is blocked, don’t quit—move forward, keep digging, and rediscover what God has promised (Philippians 3:13–14).
  • Sow & Dig for Who’s NextYour faithfulness today creates wells of revival and blessing for the next generation.

When you plant your seed and dig your well, God releases rivers of living water that will flow in you and through you.

Wisdom For A Son

In the final week of our Wisdom That Works series, Pastor Jonathan unpacks the heart of Solomon’s message to his son, and to us. Proverbs paints a vivid picture of two voices calling out: one of wisdom and one of folly. Each offers a way of life, a house to dwell in, a table to eat at, and an outcome to live with.

Key Takeaways

  • Two Women – Lady Wisdom and the Immoral Woman both call out for your attention—but only one leads to life.
  • Two Houses – One built on the seven pillars of wisdom; the other a shallow porch that leads to ruin.
  • Two Lights – Live in the open and walk in truth; darkness only hides what destroys.
  • Two Voices – Wisdom corrects, disciplines, and empowers. Folly flatters, excites, and deceives. 
  • Two Meals – One offers stolen bread and secrecy; the other offers righteousness, growth, and fulfillment. 
  • Two Outcomes – Wisdom brings life, blessing, and favor. Folly ends in emptiness and death. 

Every day, two voices are calling for your attention, one that leads to wisdom and one that leads to destruction.Which one will you follow?

The Workers Wisdom

What if your work isn’t just a job, but an act of worship? In this powerful message, Pastor Jonathan shares how to find purpose, balance, and integrity in your daily grind. God created work, and when we do it with excellence and faithfulness, we honor Him. 

Key Takeaways 

  • Break the Curse of Laziness – Laziness leads to fear, apathy, pride, and poverty. God honors effort, fruitfulness, and accomplishment (Proverbs 26:13–16; 24:30–34). 
  • Balance So You Don’t Burn Out – Work hard, but remember that rest is holy. Sabbath is God’s idea for replenishment and perspective (Exodus 23:12; Mark 6:31–32).
  • Being Crooked Will Cost You – Corruption, cheating, and compromise destroy character. Integrity gains favor and peace with God (Proverbs 11:1; 10:9; 28:6).
  • A Job Well Done Honors God – God loves excellence. Work with skill, diligence, and creativity—it brings Him glory (Proverbs 22:29; Colossians 3:23).
  • Generosity Beats Greed – Honor God with your wealth. Generosity breaks the power of greed and invites God’s blessing (Proverbs 3:9–10).

God cares about your work because your work is worship.Whether you lead a company, teach in a classroom, or serve behind the scenes, do it all unto the Lord.

My 'Me' and My 'We'

We are saved individually, refined individually, and gifted individually, but those gifts only find their full expression when we live in community with others. This message calls us to find balance, live healthy as both "me" and "we," and discover the strength of being part of God’s family. 

Key Takeaways:

  • My "Me" – Your salvation, holiness, and gifts are personal. No one can make these decisions for you.
  • My "We" – Your perspective, formation, and strength come from community. Iron sharpens iron, and we grow together.
  • The Balance – Too much focus on "me" leads to individualism. Too much focus on “we” leads to herd mentality. Healthy discipleship needs both. 

Are you living in balance? Don’t neglect your “me”, and don’t ignore your “we.” Together, they make us the Church!

The Folly of Sand, and the Wisdom of Stone

Every life is being built on something, but not every foundation will last. In Part 3 of our Wisdom That Works series, Pastor Jonathan unpacks Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7 and shows us the danger of building on the shifting sands of culture, philosophy, and self-reliance versus the solid rock of God’s Word…. when the storm comes, only one foundation will stand! This message challenges us to dig deep, build on stone, and live in daily obedience to the Word of God. 

Key Takeaways:

  • The Folly of Sand – A life built without formation, discipline, and truth will collapse when storms hit.
  • The Wisdom of Stone – God’s Word is nourishment, discipleship, and the light for our path.
  • How to Build on Stone – Feed on Scripture daily, form holy habits, surround yourself with godly people, and share the Word with others.
  • The Vision Forward – Our B-Groups are centering around God’s Word this fall, creating a church family that’s rooted in Scripture and built on the Rock.

Stressed Vines Produce Vintage Vines

What if the very trials that weigh on you are the same pressures God uses to shape your life into something extraordinary? In this powerful message, special guest Bob Sorge unpacks how God works through suffering, loyalty, chastening, and the cross to form a life that produces eternal fruit. Just like stressed vines produce vintage wines, your trials can become the very soil where God’s glory is revealed. 

Key Takeaways

  • The Secret Place: God rewards the hidden life of prayer (Matthew 6:6). 
  • The Chastening of the Lord: God disciplines those He loves as sons (Hebrews 12:7-8).
  • Loyalty & the Noble Heart: Disloyalty misuses privilege, but true loyalty reveals God’s character. 
  • The Cross: You are never too broken or “dead” for resurrection (1 Peter 2:21).
  • Fruitful Heart: A surrendered heart is the most powerful posture in Scripture.
  • God’s Still Writing Your Story: Just like Caleb, your story is not over yet.
  • Sometimes We Need Trials: Stress and struggle refine us into vessels of lasting impact.

Wisdom Is My Wingman

In Part 1 of our Wisdom That Works series, Pastor Jonathan explores the life of Solomon and the book of Proverbs to show us that wisdom isn’t optional, it’s essential. From morning routines to life-altering decisions, we’re constantly presented with crossroads. This message helps you recognize your need for God’s perspective and shows you how to begin walking in true wisdom! 

Key Takeaways  

  • The Crisis of Wisdom – Like Solomon, we all face moments where we feel unqualified, overwhelmed, or unsure. That’s exactly where the pursuit of wisdom begins. 
  • The Costliness of Wisdom – Scripture describes wisdom as more valuable than gold, silver, or rubies. It costs something to gain—but it brings priceless return. 
  • The Clarity of Wisdom – God’s wisdom gives a higher perspective, helping you see beyond emotion and circumstance to His perfect will. 
  • The Chase for Wisdom – Wisdom doesn’t come by accident. It requires humility, the fear of the Lord, asking boldly, and consistently walking it out. 

Are you facing a decision? Feeling overwhelmed?Start with this: Ask for wisdom. God promises He’ll give it to those who seek Him!
