This Week At Bethel January 9, 2026 This Sunday Church Family News Announcements Community News Calendar Bulletin Archive This Sunday Last week we started the sermon series “Hard Conversations”. Today is the second in the series, where we will be exploring the hard conversation God had with Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:1-13. They disobeyed God and ate from the tree they were told they may not eat from. God’s first recorded conversation with fallen humanity is not condemnation but a question—“Where are you?” Instead of honest confession, Adam and Eve blame and hide. We will explore how hard conversations begin not with accusation, but with questions that open hearts and reveal truth.

BILL C-9: As many of you are aware, Bill C-9 continues to raise important questions for people of faith across Canada, particularly around religious freedom, freedom of expression, and the ability to worship according to our convictions. In times like these, it is important that we stay informed, grounded, and engaged—both prayerfully and thoughtfully. Across the country, a number of Christian organizations and faith-based leaders are choosing to make a stand by clearly communicating what is happening, why it matters, and how people of faith can respond in a constructive and respectful way. We believe it is important to learn from these voices, to stay informed through trusted sources, and to understand the broader implications for religious freedom in Canada. Sign the petition now Finally, brothers and sisters, remember to pray. Pray for this amendment to be rejected, for the government to protect freedom of religion, and for the Church to rise up and be the salt and light in these times.
