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 September 8, 2024: "Faith Active in Love"

"Love your neighbor as yourself" is the golden rule, the Letter of James reminds us.  Some 'neighbors' are easier to love than others.  And yet, because God shows no partiality and loves everyone, no matter who they are, we are to do the same.  Jesus is the supreme example traveling all the way to Tyre to heal a Gentile woman's sick daughter, dispelling the prejudicial beliefs of his day.
