Bethel Community Church Orlando

Ekklesia Week 2

The church has been given a mission. As a believer and follower of Jesus, we are all commanded to go and make disciples, who get baptized, and then teach them to live for Christ. At Bethel, we say that we exist to love and lead one another to find and follow Jesus. This is our Great Commission!

Ekklesia Week 1

The church is the most important organization of which you can be a part. In a nutshell, a New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous, local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Find out practically what this means for Bethel.

21 Days // Week 5: When the Fast is Over

Fasting and prayer are spiritually powerful things. Even if the prayers you prayed were not answered during this time, God still heard your prayers. You are building a legacy that will affect the people you prayed for and the situations you prayed about. God cares, and God is at work. What kind of legacy are you leaving behind through your prayers?

21 Days // Week 4: Prayers that Move God

When you appeal to God’s heart, you can expect to see God’s hand. The God of the universe is not moved most by your love or dedication for Him, but He is moved by His love for you. Mary and Martha knew this, and they petitioned Jesus based on Jesus’ love for Lazarus when he was ill. God is able to do more than we can ask or imagine!

21 Days // Week 3: Prayer and Fasting

Through the story of Elijah and Ahab meeting at Mount Carmel to test whose god is more powerful, we learn that Elijah puts God's work above his own hunger. Elijah spends time praying rather than eating. When ordinary people who love God pray, powerful things happen. It’s not just 21 days of fasting and prayer, but 21 days of power as we see God do the impossible.

21 Days // Week 2: Preparing to Enter God's Presence

It's week two of our series "21 Days." As we prepare to fast, have you ever wondered what it takes to enter God's presence? Join us as we look at Psalm 24 to find out. 

21 Days // Week 1: God Will Answer

Bethel would like to start a New Year's tradition that focuses on prayer and fasting. Pastor Robert discusses different types of fasts and the purpose of them. Ultimately, fasting is a way to demonstrate to God and to ourselves that we are serious about our relationship with Him.

Blessed Mary

The word “blessed” gets thrown around a lot in Christian circles. Being blessed does not mean living a life without suffering; it means having the presence and unalterable promises of God in those situations. It means having a life in which God is committed to conforming you more toward the image of Jesus and bringing others to know Jesus through you. Mary learned what it meant to be blessed, because she recognized God’s presence and promises were always with her.

Family Ties: All the Fixins

Family is not an emotionally neutral subject. We either have positive or negative emotions concerning our family members. Regardless of our good or bad experiences, or what the hurt was like, or how much time has gone by since we spoke, we were created to care when it comes to family. Sometimes this means that we have to engage in the process of reconciliation. As Christians, we really have no choice in the matter but to open the door for reconciliation.

Family Ties: Care for the Fatherless

We're launching a new ministry: Bethel Cares. See how we're going to live out James 1:27.
