Bethel Lutheran Church

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

Simply the Sermon for December 3, 2023: A Hope-Filled Silence

The weeks before Christmas can be a busy and boisterous time for us.  "Quiet" and "stillness" are not words that usually apply to these weeks.  The beautiful Advent Season invites us to reflect on the coming of Jesus.  Pastor Russ' message on the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth (Read Luke 1:5-23) reminds us that silence has a valued place in our lives.
