Today’s Gospel reading reminds us that GOODNESS is not the sole possession of a particular race, ethnic group, gender, nation, or people. Goodness is a gift from God! But once the gift is given, what do we do with it? To be partners with Jesus means receiving the gift of goodness and using it for all people! http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100711.mp3 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 09:00 PDT Sermon delivered by Pastor Randy Pabst. Ah yes, Christians of this 21st Century know this all too well. Today Jesus calls us again to be those laborers—to Partner with Him in working to bring the “Harvest of God’s Love and forgiveness” to others. The work will not be easy. But it is such important work! But then, we are reminded that it is not work that is about us, but rather work that is about God’s Kingdom! http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100704.mp3 Sun, 4 Jul 2010 09:00 PDT Sermon delivered by Nick Arnett. “Follow me,” Jesus says as he walks toward Jerusalem and his death. One man replies, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus responds, “Let the dead bury the dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Like many in Scripture, we are sometimes called to journey with God into darkness, trusting that God is present with us and brings hope and new life out of grief and loss. http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100627.mp3 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:00 PDT Sermon delivered by Pastor Lori Eickmann. “Return to your home,” Jesus tells a man now cured of his demons, “and declare how much God has done for you.” God blessed the people Israel despite their rebellion, and God’s love for us is just as steadfast. Jesus healed the sick, conquered death and made us one with all God’s people. How do we declare how much God has done for us?! http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100620.mp3 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:00 PDT Sermon delivered by Pastor Lori Eickmann. Our sin and guilt are great; God’s mercy and forgiveness are greater! But even though we have been forgiven so much, so often we fail to forgive others. What would life be like if we lived out the mercy and grace of Christ? How would it change your life? How has it changed your life? http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100613.mp3 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:00 PDT Sermon delivered by Pastor Randy Pabst. How does God bring new life into your life? How do you represent opportunities for new life in the midst of loss and death with those around us? Today we are invited anew to participate in Jesus’ amazing ability to bring new life both as receivers of God’s great gift of new life, AND as sharers of that gift with others. http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100606.mp3 Sun, 6 Jun 2010 09:00 PDT
