Benefits of seeking to know God.

This week have am having the priveledge to spend my time with other pastors praying and seeking the face of God. I rea lize that everyone is able to take a week out of their schedule just to worship and pray but we can take some time everyday to do that very thing. I want to briefly share some benefits of seeking to know God.
First, our prespective on life will begin to change to keep God at the center of all things.
Second, we will realize that God is big enough to handle all the things that are going on in my life.
Third, our ability to trust the Lord will increase.
Fourth, our hearts will be prepared to receive from the Lord what we really need to hear.
Fifth, our desires will align up with God's desires more and more.
Sixth, we will focus on kingdom of God things more then just our own church things.
Seventh, we will be able to learn what being a servant of the Lord means and how to live a life pleasing unto the Lord.
Here are just a few benefits in taking time out of our busy schedule to focus on knowing God more.

Homecoming

On October 11 we are having an Homecoming celebration during our Sunday morning worship service. We will be celebrating God's faithfulness to us throughout the years of Bethel A/G and we will also be looking forward to the activity of God we will witness in the days to come. We have invited two former pastors to share once again to us, Rev. Bill Royse and Rev. Karl Fleig.

As part of the celebration we will be encouraging people to share a cherished memory of Bethel. This can be done in a couple of ways. You can post your memory in response to this blog or you could mail us your memory or you will be given an opportunity to write out your memory on the day of the homecoming.

We will be posting all these memories on our website. This will be our memorial to God for all the good things that He has done for us. The children of Israel were encouraged to set up memorials so that they would not forget the mighty miracles of God. Lord help us to remember all the good things that You have done for us. I encourage you to be a part of this celebration not only with your attendance but by sharing with us one of your cherish memories.
