SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE
Join us tonight at Bethel for singing, worship and Pastor Cosand’s message, “Melchizedek,” from Genesis 14.

The first mention of this “king of Salem” is found here in Genesis 14. He is named only this one time until he appears in Psalm 110. Finally, we’ll see a further description of this king of righteousness as well as the king of peace revealed in the New Testament book of Hebrews.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said,

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
Genesis 14:18-20 ESV.

Bethel's Sunday evening worship commences at 6 p.m. each Sunday.

VERSES FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:13-15 ESV

SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP
Join us at 10:45 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 30, for worship and Pastor Cosand’s message, “Better Than Gold,” from Psalm 19.

We’ve witnessed not only radical changes in communication and technology, but changes in values. A clear, unambiguous standard of what is right and wrong has eroded before our eyes. Fewer and fewer people believe in absolute truth.

What is needed is a return to the principles of the Bible These principles are both absolute and eternal.

[T]he rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:9b-10
