Thanks for your work. I'm personally so disgusted with this modern expression of "church" and "preaching". The man centered "gospel" is no Gospel, as you know. Thanks again for showcasing what is going on out there, and for equally explaining in a clear way, what does matter.
Wow! What happened to Pastors being shepherds of the flock? They’ve turned into CEOs, life coaches and amateur stand up comedians with hipster hairdos. Thank you BEZELT3 for giving me hope that discernment is alive and well amongst Gods people.
I said the same thing to a girl who helped me clean my house 2 days ago... I agree totally, these men lived decadent cloistered lives and you could speak to them personally if you wanted to.
My church launched one satellite campus during the recession. We were growing and land locked. We were going to build a new campus but financially decided a satellite campus could help with growth and not debt lock us. Then 2 years later a failing church "gave" us their church. Suddenly we were a 3 site campus. Total we are around 3500 people. I attend the main campus so it is usually live. However the pastor will teach from the other sites so occasionally the main campus is video.
When a church I was attending at a time began doing satellite campuses in other cities - I did not think it was a good idea - my heart thought “why can’t the pastor raise up shepherds and share the flock” - it’s almost like the lust for more ppl under him is a greater power trip -
He does not think the Bible is exciting enough on its own or relevant enough it needs our help and by the way the church I have been entrusted with is around 50 during season and 30 during the off season .So does that mean that somehow those 50 are not as important as the 2500? Just wondering yes if we decided to entertain we could perhaps grow to 1000 no I think we will be faithful to the gospel and allow God to give the increase.
I would quit attending that church after a few services - I hate saying it but places like this waste my time - I can stay home and listen to someone that can sow in my heart - pull me out of myself and cause change in my life - still looking.....
Man, that creepy screen in the background at the beginning of the video was a little unnerving... Thanks for the videos. Just found your channel. Thanks for the clarity.
Hello Bezel T3 i have been following your videos for 2 years now, im just wondering why is your name Bezel? is your name really Bezel? or is ti just your username if is what is its meaning ? if it has one. Thank you very muh God bless your work
I've said it before; this is what happens when men who have not gone to seminary or have not been ordained and do not use their bible "preach" and bible illiterate people listen. A lost generation...
These are bible haters. They don't like what the bible says that's why they don't preach from it. They swallowed the lie that we should not take the bible literally.
No one ever remembers a complicated sermon more than 5 minutes after leaving the so called church, why not just start off by teaching about the hundreds of prophecies of our Lord starting with Genesis to Revelations .Thanks for your videos
i read Craig’s book. it was really good, he showed great fruits. i listened to some of his sermons, pretty good. but then i listened to his podcast where he supported prosperity teachers and eastern orthodox christianity. he seems too worldly now. sad :(
Frank Patek The Christian faith. I am a member of Valley Presbyterian Church, North Hills, CA. Check out the web site and that should give you a sense what's important to me.
Frank, its not about faith, attending churches or being a part of a religious institution. Being a Christian is about following Jesus. That's it. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. True Christians don't follow any religion. True Christians don't go to "church", they ARE the church. True Christians don't have "faith", they "know" that Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit exist through our personal experiences and not merely because we are told to believe or to have faith. God bless and may he lead you to the Lord! Praise Jesus!
So, a man who went to college planning a career which is all about speaking to crowds, was never taught that, "Me and my friend," is completely ungrammatical and rude?
I think the guy in the pulpit is doing his very best to give a message to an audience that is far larger than anything he has ever preached to before. He may have been nervous and therefore did not want to go too hard on the flock. That being said, a stronger exegestical bent wouldn't do him harm.
Since we are critiqueing this sermon, "me and my older brother" is not proper. "My brother and I," is correct. How can someone get through college without being corrected? This is elementary level english. Where was he "educated"?
Your point about his grammar is inconsequential. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:6 he was unskilled in speaking, but not so in knowledge. It is better to critique what is being said rather than how it is being said. The way you question his education you come across egotistic. BTW you misspelled critiquing. It is elementary level English to know you drop the "e" with -ing. Also, you did not capitalize English which is another elementary level principle for proper nouns.
While I do love the way you pick your videos, my only suggestion would be to stop picking the easy ones. Olsteen is an easy target. This video is such an easy target it's obvious to the Christian that's on the meat and not in the milk. I would challenge you to pick on much tougher subjects like the numerous non-biblical dogmas within Catholicism. Or how about picking on fundamental Baptist Dogma? How about the Dogma tongues in the Pentecostal Church? Those are much tougher subjects. The choices on subject matter you seem to choose are very simple and very obvious examples to the Christian that's deep into the meat. God Bless and keep continuing to stretch your faith and grow in the Word; not just in the easy stuff.

Bezel is great ain't he? I don't always agree with him but I trust his heart and motive.
@@knowsmebyname I am just curious what you have seen here that you have not agreed with? Not that Bezel is infallible.
Hey william. Thanks for taking the time. I love bezel. Been with him from the start. I am simply more charismatic than he. Not a big deal.

Bezel T3 God Bless you! I don't know how you sat through this mess. Great video and great teaching.
Thank you for your great work. May God continue supplying you with the grace you need!
As a pastoral of a rural church of 30, I find that 'oh 100 people' to be insulting. I would rather pastor 30 sheep than 3000 goats.
These mega churches completely miss the point of fellowship.
These are bit churches, they are just halls where people meet to hear lies.
Ill take a church with 100 people anyday!!!!
... But... but... he points real good.
These hipsters pastors
How in the world can anyone attend a satellite church where they pipe in 'sermons' from another location?
My church launched one satellite campus during the recession. We were growing and land locked. We were going to build a new campus but financially decided a satellite campus could help with growth and not debt lock us. Then 2 years later a failing church "gave" us their church.

Excellent critique. Brian, you have a unique gift.
i hate that word "campus"
Me too 🙊, in general
Unless it's a college! To describe local fellowships, yeah..so impersonal :(
me too . I tell people "what are you ashamed to tell people you go to a church " ?
I have always felt the same. Any church that has campuses is not a church.
He does not think the Bible is exciting enough on its own or relevant enough it needs our help and by the way the church I have been entrusted with is around 50 during season and 30 during the off season .So does that mean that somehow those 50 are not as important as the 2500? Just wondering yes if we decided to entertain we could perhaps grow to 1000 no I think we will be faithful to the gospel and allow God to give the increase.
The average church size in America is about 100 members.
Hey Bezel, I suggest looking into Freedom Church in Acworth, GA. Their ongoing Blockbuster Weekends is quite cringe worthy.
I would quit attending that church after a few services - I hate saying it but places like this waste my time - I can stay home and listen to someone that can sow in my heart - pull me out of myself and cause change in my life - still looking.....
Thanks again. Do you have a website? This is a great TH-cam channel.
This was good for a motivational speech. I would want hi! cheering me on a game .not a Christian sermon
When you preoccupy yourself with destroying labels, you've been infected with the intersectionality disease

Fantastic video
26:50 onwards; what a fantastic closing statement from!! 👍

Empty words >>only the Holy Spirit can DRAW one to GOD>>>
“PREACH THE WORD...”
No one ever remembers a complicated sermon more than 5 minutes after leaving the so called church, why not just start off by teaching about the hundreds of prophecies of our Lord starting with Genesis to Revelations .Thanks for your videos
MASS CONFUSION
The church of me!
Is there anyone out there that preaches Jesus Christ anymore? ??
1ST.PETER 4:11,, SEEMS NO ONE ADHERES TO OR EVEN KNOWS THIS SCRIPTURE..
Larry dropped the mike! Awesome! 🧐
i read Craig’s book. it was really good, he showed great fruits. i listened to some of his sermons, pretty good. but then i listened to his podcast where he supported prosperity teachers and eastern orthodox christianity. he seems too worldly now. sad :(
For a moment there, I thought he started rapping at 05:32.
(...we like the "studio" you have now!)
Hey Bez,I've been meaning to ask you this for years.Why aren't you a pastor??
Maybe God hasn't called him to preach the gospel, you know it is a calling
Bezelt3, what faith do you follow? What type of Church do you attend?
Frank Patek The Christian faith. I am a member of Valley Presbyterian Church, North Hills, CA. Check out the web site and that should give you a sense what's important to me.
Frank, its not about faith, attending churches or being a part of a religious institution.

God bless and may he lead you to the Lord!

Adam Goodword Faith wasn't a good choice of words. Where does he Fellowship is a better question. and he answered that.
The "gospel of man" does not save sinners, only the "gospel of Christ Jesus" does!!!
So, a man who went to college planning a career which is all about speaking to crowds, was never taught that, "Me and my friend," is completely ungrammatical and rude?
Ungrammatical? Get over yerself, toots.
church plant sounds so industrial
I think the guy in the pulpit is doing his very best to give a message to an audience that is far larger than anything he has ever preached to before. He may have been nervous and therefore did not want to go too hard on the flock. That being said, a stronger exegestical bent wouldn't do him harm.
No such thing as too hard on the flock. The conviction of the Word of God is life not death to those who have been made alive.
Since we are critiqueing this sermon, "me and my older brother" is not proper. "My brother and I," is correct. How can someone get through college without being corrected? This is elementary level english. Where was he "educated"?

BoanergesOKC Pam was LOUD and WRONG!
THEATRICS !, he’s pandering to men. LARRY?
Buzz words, drain pipe jeans and smoke machines
Cliché confession - the sad emblem of the dumbing down of American Christianity or American everything.
They have stopped preaching the Gospel to "preach" to itching ears.
I would love for BEZELT3 to check out First Baptist Church of San Jacinto at the website www.fbcsj.com
We're 25 😂😂
Tim, I didn't consent for you to use my name.
Label warning!
Failure.
Jesus isn't a nightclub doorman
This guy is a “Life Coach” and not a preacher of the Word, striving to be relevant. Shameful.
These people need to stop putting things in there own words just stick to the text and that's it not fluff.
His words are meaningless
While I do love the way you pick your videos, my only suggestion would be to stop picking the easy ones. Olsteen is an easy target.

God Bless and keep continuing to stretch your faith and grow in the Word; not just in the easy stuff.
Frank Patek good point
These days it's surprising how many Christians follow what should be obvious
You say that Osteen is easy pickings but his church has thousands of attendees. So, clearly the need for discernment is there.
why get out of bed for this crap ?
