• The Word of God, in its entirety, is a sufficient guide for the church’s health and growth, teaching and message. It’s God’s whole counsel to us as a community of faith.
• The Word of God, in its entirety, is more than sufficient to grow us as God’s people into spiritual maturity.

We’ve dealt with the hard subjects of creation and the fall of humanity into sin and depravity. We’ve watched the formation of God’s chosen nation of Isreal in Abraham and the prophets. We journeyed with Moses and the Israelites through the wilderness and saw Joshua lead them with courage into the possession of the promised land. And we have seen their spiritual roller coaster ride through the book of Judges, paralleling in many respects our own times.

Now, we’ve come to a major transition in the Bible. We’re changing from judges to kings and watching the entire leadership structure shift. We’re going to see how God worked behind the scenes to bring some of history’s greatest leaders to the forefront of His stage.

This is the historical section of the Bible and one of my own beliefs is that history is his story. It’s all of Him, the Author of Creation, time, and eternity. Everything you’ve experienced in your life to this moment is history for you – the story of what God has been doing behind the scenes and what you’ve been doing in cooperation with Him (or in rebellion against Him). What does the next chapter look like for you?

God gave His Son that you might be redeemed from lostness and live a life full of promise and purpose. I want to invite you to join us in our journey through the Word this Sunday, but I also (and more importantly) want to urge you to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ if you don’t have one now. Turn from your sins and trust Him as Savior, and please contact us to let us know how we can help you!

We’re not a perfect church by any means, but we’re on a journey toward becoming a place where lives can be impacted in greater ways by the truth of God’s Word. And God is blessing His Word. Pastor Brandon began preaching through the Bible a year and a half ago and the church has seen about five dozen new members in that amount of time. Why does he believe that this growth is coming?

It’s not that the preaching is so great, it’s that God has promised to bless His Word. We live in an age when people are looking for solid, timeless answers, yet often God’s spokespeople hold back even though we possess the only source of absolute truth on earth. So we’re proclaiming the ‘whole counsel of God,’ with love and compassion. No question is off limits, no subject out of bounds. God’s Word addresses it all, so we’re addressing all of God’s Word. – Pastor Brandon

Wherever you may be in your spiritual life, we hope and pray you’ll seek answers from the one source of absolute truth that God left us – His Word, the Bible.

In addition to a strong emphasis on the centrality of the Scriptures to worship, Bethel also loves kids and students. As the church has made investments in these areas, God has responded by pouring out a blessing. When we added a Director of Children’s Ministries, our Awana program and Children’s Church ministry grew. When we added a Pastor of Youth and Outreach, our student ministry increased. And we’re convinced that God will continue to reward a risk-taking faith that presses onward.

We hope you’ll join us soon at the “church on the hill.”
