Flourish Life By The Spirit < Back Join us in a 10-week journey of studying how the Spirit nourishes within us a life of fruitfulness that goes beyond surviving and coping. It actually can and does, by God’s grace, look like flourishing. Along this journey, we invite you to go deeper in your walk with Jesus through some additional resources. Each week we will look at another dimension for the fruit of the Spirit, following the order and pattern described in Galatians 5:13-26. For Personal Devotion and Small Groups: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit - Growing In Christlikeness - By Christopher Wright Good and Beautiful and Kind: Becoming Whole in a Fractured World by Rich Villodas For Families at Home On Sundays, Bethel Kids will be using curriculum based on the book "Fruit Full: 100 Family Experiences for Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit" What do your kids know about the fruit of the Spirit? Maybe they can rattle off the list: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But do they really understand what the fruits look like in daily life? John Stott prayed every day the following prayer. Consider praying this prayer as you seek God’s abundant life for you in the season to come. “Heavenly Father, I pray that I may live this day in your presence and please you more and more. Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you. Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity, three persons in one God, have mercy upon me.

40 Days of Belonging This Spring we want to ask an important question as a church: What does it mean to belong to Bethel? We will be reflecting on our key values which shapes who God has called us to become as a church family and a “house of the Lord” (which is what Bethel means). If this is the kind of house we’re supposed to be, we want to re-affirm what this means for every person at Bethel. We want this conversation in our church to flow through everything we do. Every week we will send out resources and discussion guides for each value. Every Sunday we will focus on another value that draws us together as a family through our sermon series, House of Belonging. We’d love for you to journey with us as we say together as members of one body: You belong here. How Do I Get Involved? Sign up for a discussion group here Engage and reflect in your regular community group or small group. Weekly Discussion Guides New discussion guides here every week.

Habits of the Church Based on Acts 2:42 < Back Resources for Habits of the Church Series Series summary : The book of Acts gives us a picture of a church alive with purpose, passion, and power. In Acts 2:42-47, we see six habits that shaped the early believers and fueled their impact: devotion to God’s Word, life-giving fellowship, the breaking of bread, and powerful prayer. These were not occasional activities but consistent rhythms that formed a Spirit-filled community and made the gospel visible to the world. In this series, we’ll discover how these same habits can shape us today into a church that reflects Christ and changes lives. Habits of the Church: "They were devoted..." “...to the Apostles’ Teaching...” | Commitment to God's Word and the witness of his people “...and to Fellowship...” | Life one another in community "...to the Breaking of Bread..." | Table Fellowship, Hospitality "...and to Prayer..." | Communion with God, Intercession for others "...and to Generosity..." | Sharing with one another, service “...and to Praise and Witness..." | testifying to the good news through evangelism and worship Challenge : Explore, adapt and practice the habits modelled by the early church that led them to become like Christ and share him with others.

Sign Up For A Prayer Time 24/7 Prayer started in 1999 with a simple student-led vigil, and now, almost three decades later, thousands of communities take part, and prayer is happening in churches and communities in over half the countries on earth. This year Bethel will be hosting 24/7 Prayer from September 6 until September 13. We will be joining believers across the globe during the Global Week of Prayer. Together, churches in nations around the world will be seeking God for spiritual renewal, praying for their communities, and interceding for every nation—that God's Kingdom would come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What a beautiful reminder that while we serve in different places, we are one Church, united before one King. Whether you've prayed for an hour before or not, I encourage you to step into this opportunity. Time spent in God's presence has a way of renewing our hearts, aligning us with His purposes, and reminding us that the work of His Kingdom begins in prayer. Many who have participated before have been surprised by how quickly the hour passes—and how reluctant they are to leave. You're welcome to sign up to pray at Bethel or from home. The church will be open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m . We will also gather for a special Worship and Prayer Evening on Wednesday from 7:00–9:00 p.m. , and it would be a joy to worship and pray alongside you. If you're able, please consider taking an hour and adding your voice to this global chorus of prayer. Together, let's ask God to move powerfully in our churches, our city, our nation, and throughout the world.
