Studying Scripture; life together in community; acts of service; and talking to God in prayer are all staples the Christian life. So is hearing the preaching of God's Word.

Every Sunday at Bethlehem, the Word of God is proclaimed into your daily life.

There is the Law for correction, instruction, and guidance--a teaching tool that has been given by God to us.

And, there is the Gospel: the good news of God's grace to you!!

Martin Luther once said that "any man who can accurately judge the difference between the Law & the Gospel deserves a doctorate at once!"

In the proclamation of God's Word, a single phrase may hit two hearers differently at the same time. Even a simple saying, like "Jesus died for you," could fill one with guilt and shame while the other is affirmed, receiving forgiveness and joy--knowing that they are loved.

That is the Holy Spirit at work. God's Word does not go without effect.

We would love to see you here with us, as part of our community in worship, but--knowing the importance of proclaiming God's Word into the broken and hurting world--and the value of being able to take this service wherever you go--we also have services, sermons, audio recordings, and podcasts available for you below.
