Preparing for Online Worship April 26

Welcome to a new sermon series title Living Your Best Life.  We will study portions of Deuteronomy for the next few weeks.  As we study, we will learn keys to living the life God intended for us to live.  Moses is nearing the end of his life and preparing the next generation to enter into God’s promised land.  Before they do, he has final words to share that they will live the best life in the promises of God.

A Word of Encouragement

Philippians 4:8-9

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

 

Hello, Bethel Family. I miss being with you so very much. Please be safe and be kind to yourselves while we are apart and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I have a confession to make, it has been a struggle for me to adjust to working from home. The stress and anxiety kept building in me and caused terrible headaches. I don’t know if any of you can relate but I wanted to share with you what GOD has been teaching me in these days of COVID-19 and social distancing. Read more…

Is Church Cancelled?

Over the last week many wondered whether church has been cancelled.  The answer is simply “No,” church is not cancelled.  In fact, church isn’t an event that may or may not take place on the calendar.  It isn’t a building that may or may not be closed.  Church is every believer following faithfully in submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Most churches are doing their part in the fight against COVID-19 by moving services and gatherings to online platforms.  I’m grateful for the opportunities technology affords us to remain connected to one another through this unusual time.  Church has not been cancelled, but instead we are pressing forward in faith and obedience. 

Here are a few reminders from Scripture for the church during this time. Read more…

Time with Family

“Social distancing may end up becoming family distancing,” Jimmy Fallon.  Let’s be honest, some of us may be feeling the need for some time away.  So many families have been affected by the closure of school, restaurants, stores, jobs, etc. Now parents and kids are spending lots of extra time together that none of us anticipated.  What do we do with all this extra time together?  Here are a few ideas that will help us make the most of our time together. 

 

  1. Eat around the table together. I love Psalm 128:3-4, “Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.”  When we spend time together around the table, we share life, laugh together, and get to know one another more.  In the busyness of life, when sports, appointments, homework and other things drew us apart, right now we have the blessed opportunity to gather.  Read more…
