Bothell Amplified

This week, we finish our sermon series, Life of Faith. Looking at Hebrews 13, we are reminded that the foundation of how we are called to live out our faith is through love - love for one another and love for the stranger. 

This week, we welcome Rev. Jasper Peters of Belong Church in Denver, Colorado, who continues our sermon series, Life of Faith. Drawing from Hebrews 12:18-29, Jasper challenges us to overcome obstacles and navigate disruptions in our lives! 

This week, we continue our sermon series, Life of Faith, and turn to Hebrews 11:29-12:2. As we continue to explore what a life of faith might look like for us as individuals and as a community, we look at the legacy of those who have gone before us as we continue on our journeys.

Today, we launched a new sermon series, Life of Faith. Trusting that God desires relationships with us and invites us to be with God on this journey that is a life of faith. Turn to Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 and ask the questions: Why do we choose to be on this journey? Why do we choose this life of faith? 

This week, Pastor Joe wraps up our sermon series "One Small Thing," by looking at Simeon and the prophet Anna, who met Jesus soon after his birth (Luke 2:22-40). As we think about all the ways we all can do One Small Thing, perhaps God is inviting us to be intentional in our praise and prayer.

This week, we hear from Eric Trott, the Bothell United Methodist Church Governing Board Chair, who continues our 2022 Vision Series,  "One Small Thing" by looking at the ways we might show up for the members of our community, especially those who are alone. How might we trust that God is not done with us yet and partner alongside what God is already doing in our communities?  Drawing from Acts 9:36-42, we see how Tabitha showed up for the widows in her community and how we might be called to respond as well! 

This week, Pastor Joe continues our 2022 Vision Series,  "One Small Thing" by looking at the ways we might show up for the members of our community. How hard is it for us to say yes? How do we give freely without the expectation of return? How do we share and sustain life together as our one small thing?  Drawing from 2 Kings 4:1-7, we see how the widow from our text was desperate in a time of need, and how the community showed up! 

This week, Pastor Joe launches our 2022 Vision Series,  "One Small Thing." How might God be inviting each of us to do one small thing so that we might see healing, restoration and love in our broken and hurting world? This week, we look to the story of the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, who defied Pharaoh's orders from Exodus 1:8-22.

This week, we conclude our two week series, "Reflections from Two Trees." Our Director of Program Ministries, Celeste Deveney, preaches from Revelation 21:1-4 and 22:1-7 as she challenges us to look to this new year and beyond with hope, dreaming of ways to becoming Christ in the Community.

As we close out this 2021 and look towards 2022, we launch a quick two-week series based on the Two Trees that bookend the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Joe looks at the first tree found in the opening chapters of the Bible as we reflect on this past year and see how we might turn towards God in our vulnerability rather than pushing God, and our community, away. Scripture reference: Genesis 3:1-10.
