Bethany Church

Redemption by its very nature is costly, messy, and never quite seems to unfold as we expect it. This Sunday we will examine redemption on two different horizons: first in the lives of Naomi, Ruth, & Boaz, and then in our lives too.

This Sunday we look at the transforming power of God's kind grace in the lives of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz. We will see that we too can be transformed as we place our trust in that same grace available today in Jesus Christ.

This Sunday we look at two journeys with Naomi and Ruth to discover two responses, with the hopes of seeing that even underneath life’s darkest circumstances God is working His providential, refreshing purposes.

We are creatures who from our very conception are under the developing and caring hand of our Maker. God’s unique image has been placed on humanity giving us a value and dignity far above any other made thing. And yet, humanity in every era and place wages war on the image of God. This morning we look at three UNIQUE truths that will help us understand WHY?

We all have a calling from the Lord for some type of ministry in the body of Christ. Paul is one who was faithful to the end of his life to his calling. This morning we examine Paul’s final words to see three examples of faithfulness by answering the question, What Is Our Salvation For?

Psalm 90:1-2, 12

“God so love the world,” was an astounding statement that came from the mouth of Jesus. This Sunday we focus on the love of God, which was not mere sentiment, but rooted in the action of giving us His Son, the coming Light.

Christmas is the season of lights. But why? The imagery of light runs throughout the entire story of God’s Word. This Sunday we look at the words of Jesus as he declares himself to be the Ultimate Light as we begin our advent series, The Coming Light. Let’s explore the SETTING and the SOURCE of light in our passage.

And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. Genesis 45:7

Since Paul has just reaffirmed that the Scriptures are God-breathed, he now charges Timothy and all pastors and Christians to keep on preaching the Word, the Truth that, challenges, changes, and equips us. Today we want to be as CLEAR as possible.

When tragedy strikes we are prone to ask the question Why. This morning we are reminded of three truths that will help us remember that God’s mercies are new every morning even in the midst of dark days.

The Bible has been called a book of rules, a good book, a book of stories about heroes, and a myth. Today we will see three truths that show us that it is so much more. It is God’s Book!

Paul describes a day which is not unlike our own when the love of self is seen as the greatest virtue. It is a destructive path we are not to follow as lovers of God first and foremost. We actually love our neighbors best when we follow Paul’s example of godly living and service in the midst of a self-loving culture. Today we will see two diverging roads in the same church.

So far Paul has been reminding Timothy with Gospel Exhortations (2:8). Now it’s Timothy’s turn to remind the congregation. This Sunday we look at three more images that will help us remember what a Gospel Worker is to be all about.

Our mission at Bethany Church is Helping People Follow Jesus. But what do we need to do that? This morning we look at three helps that God has given us in the church to produce sincere, faithful, courageous followers of Jesus. But first the why???
