Bethsadia Baptist Church

WHAT IF EVERY ADULT IN OUR CHURCH WAS GONE TOMORROW? Would our children know how to carry on the work of the church?

This morning at Bethsadia Baptist, our Youth Sunday gave us an answer and it was a beautiful one. Our young people sang, led the worship service, brought the Word, led the songs, took up the offering, made the announcements, and served in so many ways.

Today was proof that when we pour into our children, teach them God’s Word, give them opportunities to serve, and trust them with responsibility, we are preparing the next generation to carry the Gospel forward.

If every adult in our church were gone tomorrow, I believe our kids at Bethsadia Baptist would know enough, love Jesus enough, and have been equipped enough to keep the doors open and the Gospel going.

That’s what discipleship looks like. Today wasn’t just Youth Sunday. Today was a glimpse of the future of our church.

To every parent, teacher, volunteer, pastor, and church member who has invested in these kids—keep pouring into them. It matters.

And to our young people: we are so proud of you. Keep serving Jesus. The church needs you.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This morning, Brother Travis brought a timely message from Psalm 46:10.

Be still, and know that I am God.

Being still isn’t just about sitting in silence. It’s about letting go of the need to control everything. It’s choosing to stop striving, stop making fear-based decisions, and start trusting the One who holds it all together.

When we release what’s in our hands, we make room for God to work in ways we never could.

Today, I’m choosing to trust instead of strive. ❤️

Thank you, Brother Travis, for the reminder that in a world that constantly tells us to keep pushing and striving, God simply says, Be still…and know that I am God.

Happy Father’s Day! 💙

Today we celebrate and honor all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, spiritual fathers, and father figures who lead, love, provide, and pray for their families.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make, the wisdom you share, and the example of faith you set each day. Your influence reaches far beyond what you may ever see.

We are especially grateful for our Heavenly Father, whose perfect love guides and sustains us.

The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.— Proverbs 20:7

From all of us at Bethsadia Baptist, we pray that you’ve had a blessed and joyful Father’s Day!

Congratulations, Ashlyn! We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished! From the very beginning, we knew you could do it, and watching you reach this milestone is such a blessing.
