Join us this Sunday as we celebrate our Senior Pastor Jerry Kasberg’s retirement after 17 years of ministry at Bethel. We are tremendously sad that he is stepping down, but also excited to see how God will use him in his retirement and next steps.

 

 

 

 

God wants us to have an open, trusting, and powerful relationship with Him. He wants us to know His heart and His ways. Through Jesus, He has provided access to His Presence and Power! The question is, “How do we access His Presence and Power?”

 

In this sermon series, we will explore how to have a deeper, more meaningful, vibrant relationship with our Heavenly Father.

We will unpack and experience the dynamics of the Lord’s Prayer. This focus on the Lord’s Prayer will not be so much a study of the Lord’s Prayer, but an experience of the plan and way Jesus taught us to approach Him.

 

We want to invite you into an extraordinary time of renewal, healing, and relationship as we look at the way Jesus invites us to see and communicate with “The Father” and discuss what it means to forgive as you have been forgiven, to trust God for your daily bread, and to even call God, “Daddy.”

 

Each of us has experienced a thrill, a joy, and a heartfelt reaction to something good and special in our lives.

 

For many of us though, thrills seem a distant memory. Too many pains and difficulties have deadened our sense of thrill these days. In fact, because of all the disappointments we have faced, we may even have said to ourselves, “I don’t even want to think about it, whatever ‘it’ was, because we didn’t want to get our hopes up and be disillusioned again.”

 

Our focus this Advent Season is on the Biblical “thrill” of hope – not the worldly “hope” that wishes for something to happen – but a hope that is a confident assurance in the promises, character, and heart of God! It is a light in the darkness that shows us God’s provision and Goodness. A hope that is found in knowing that God came to earth and gave his life for us.

 

So be prepared this Advent to be amazed once more with the delight that comes in knowing how much God loves you and that He has plans for you, plans for you to prosper, and plans to give you a hope and a future.
