BETHELCAST

Sermon for Baptism of our Lord Sunday highlights that it doesn't matter the amount of water used at Baptism or when it occurs, but the power of the promise given at baptism.

Our 2017 ministry goal for our Bethel parishoners -- #ClaimtheName!

On Christmas Day, we hear the untold story of The Fourth Magi.  This story, written by our own Chuck White before his death, tells a beautiful story.  Chuck and his wife Karen would dress up as Santa and Mrs. Clause every Christmas.  We are delighted that "Mrs. Clause" joins us to tell this wonderful story to our children on this special day.

Today, my parents, Bob and Barbara Young, renewed their vows during worship as part of their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  This message is in honor of them.

If a world class violist plays in a DC metro station and nobody stops to hear it, is it truly great?  Perhaps we can't see the beauty and grace right before our ears and eyes because we don't expect to it. Jesus comes to change our expectations and remind us that surprise and new life is readily in our presence if only our eyes are open and our ears alert to its possibility.

John the Baptizer preaches about an unquenchable fire.  Yet the unquenchable fire does not have to be for destruction, but can also be for transformation.  Like a potter molding clay, the "fires" of our lives can actually be shape more into the person/people God is calling us to be.

Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent.  The promise of the Here After strengthens us to live more faithfully in the Here and Now!

Our "End of the World" moments are not the end of the world, but an opportunity to testify to the promise of a God who brings new life out of death.
