ICYMI: 🔹 IT'S AHEAD OF ME NOW 🔹

How often do we allow our past mistakes, disappointments, failures, and regrets to determine what we believe God can do in our future?

In this powerful message from Philippians 3:12-14, Rev. Erin Willford-Skipworth reminds us that God's promises are not behind us—they are ahead of us. The Apostle Paul teaches us to forget what is behind, reach toward what is ahead, and press toward the prize of God's upward call in Christ Jesus.

No matter what you've been through, God is still calling you forward. Your purpose is ahead. Your growth is ahead. Your healing is ahead. Your victory is ahead.

What happens when God calls us forward, but our past keeps pulling ...

Congratulations to Our Pastor Emeritus!

The Bethlehem Baptist Church family extends our heartfelt congratulations to our Pastor Emeritus, Rev. Dr. Aaron Willford, Jr. on his appointment as Pastor of Zion Baptist Church in Reading, Pennsylvania.

We thank God for the years of faithful service, leadership, wisdom, and love that Pastor Willford poured into Bethlehem Baptist Church. His impact on our congregation and community will continue to be felt for generations to come.

As he enters this new season of ministry, we celebrate this well-deserved opportunity and pray God's richest blessings upon him, the Zion Baptist Church family, and the work that lies ahead. May the Lord continue to guide his steps, strengthen his hands, and use him mightily for His Kingdom.

Congratulations, Pastor Willford! Your Bethlehem Baptist Church family loves you, celebrates you, and is praying for your continued success in ministry.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
— Jeremiah 29:11

ICYMI: In Matthew 9:20-22, we find a woman who suffered for twelve years, exhausted every option, and carried a burden no one could fix. Yet she believed that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' garment, she would be made whole.

Rev. Erin Willford-Skipworth reminded us that our condition does not cancel our belonging to God. Our struggles, disappointments, and seasons of waiting do not define who we are. We are still God's children, and faith continues to connect us to His power, His presence, and His promises.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...” — Psalm 23:4 (KJV)

Be encouraged by this powerful message from Rev. Damon Randall at Bethlehem Baptist Church. No matter what valley you may be facing — grief, fear, uncertainty, sickness, or hardship — God has promised to walk with you every step of the way.

This sermon is a reminder that:
✨ The valley is not your final destination
✨ God restores and strengthens His people
✨ The Shepherd never abandons His sheep
✨ Victory belongs to those who keep walking with the Lord

Take a moment to watch, pray, and be uplifted by this timely Word from God.
