Mt. Bethel Church - Mb North

God's love is unconditional and proactive. He seeks us but never forces us into relationship. Although He longs for communion, He will never make us do anything for which we are not ready. He simply loves.

We are sent into the world for a purpose - to seek and save those who are lost. How do we fulfill that purpose? We must declare Jesus Christ as our savior, care about what God cares about, and share our story because we all have a story to share.

Through Christ, we are reconciled to God, but we alone are unable to be reconciled. To receive salvation, we must admit that we cannot receive reconciliation without Christ. We must let go of false identities to receive our true identity in God.

Second Timothy tells us that all scripture is God-breathed. Through scripture, we gain wisdom, truth, and knowledge of salvation.

Agape love has the ability to change the world. Since God is love, His spirit living in us changes us and reflects His image in us. Therefore, God's love in us changes us.

To be courageous in difficult times, we must be faithful to scripture and obedient to the Word even if it costs us.

In the busyness of the season, remember to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Slow down, embrace, and celebrate.

To be truly thankful people, we must recognize the blessings around us. Gratitude is the attitude that helps us endure all things. It costs so little, yet is worth so much.

There is empowerment from God and an obedience from us to God so that people may come into a loving relationship with God. What is that empowerment? It's through telling our story.

In week three of our "Who's Your One?" series, Pastor Steven Brumbeloe urges us to think about the lives we encounter on a daily basis and how we can point those persons toward Christ through our words and our actions.

Rev. Kelly Brumbeloe takes us further into our "Who's Your One?" series, sharing that active and living faith is more than just a set of beliefs. Faith is something that is put into action. When God nudges, we have to be willing to respond. Sometimes that means leaning into a place outside of our comfort zone. Sometimes it means taking a step in a new direction - into a God venture.
