Pastor Jonathan Barbee continues our series through the book of Acts as he looks at what is God's message to seekers. How can we know the God we seek? First, we must seek the Creator. We also must know He is near. Finally, we must follow His command and prepare for His judgment. February 23, 2025Af Bethesda Baptist Church Durham

Af Pastor Kirk Militzer

Part of God's goodness is His intention to see us become more like Him by exemplifying His character. It is more than an abstract virtue - goodness is a reflection of God's presence in us. We are carrying the presence of God into the world. We are to share His goodness and glory wherever we go.Af The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI

The Lord's patience is vast while our human patience is often driven by our limited perspective. The Lord is neither slow nor hurried; rather, He stands outside of time surveying everything with purpose. Patience isn't just waiting, but believing that God is working even when we can't yet see it.Af The weekly podcast of Bethesda Christian Church in Sterling Heights, MI
