Scripture commands believers to turn from sin to righteousness many times. Examples of this are found in Romans 6, Eph. 4:17-32, and Phil. 2:12-13. Romans teaches us that in principle, in God’s reality, a person’s habits of sin die when they are co-crucified with Christ. If a person wants to stop sinning, it is helpful […] The post Overcoming Habits of Sin https://bmcgladys.com/overcoming-habits-of-sin/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.
Many of us have often wished we could read a letter from Paul “to the Church at Gladys.” Although that is, unfortunately, impossible, we can learn from the circumstances, struggles, and successes of the Corinthian church and apply it to our own situation here. 1 Corinthians begins with Paul praising God for the many rich […] The post No Other Foundation https://bmcgladys.com/no-other-foundation/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.

The ultimate witness to the world is the love believers have for one another in the life of the church. How do we maintain harmony? Most churches do not have brotherhood. They do not pursue brotherhood. Instead, they have either individualism (everyone does what works for them) or they have family first (whatever works for […] The post The Ultimate Witness to the World https://bmcgladys.com/the-ultimate-witness-to-the-world/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.
God wants us to know Him as He truly is, and Jesus is the accurate revelation of God. Believers are the last revelation of God. If you would experience a great disappointment, would it be distressing to you to know that God knows? I ask this question because there is a strong emphasis among us: […] The post With Confidence I Now Draw Nigh https://bmcgladys.com/with-confidence-i-now-draw-nigh/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.

To be like Christ is the highest attainment of every Christian. To have His image formed in our lives is Christ’s will and requires yielding to Christ. I John 3:22-24 Answered prayer is the result of doing what pleases Christ and loving one another. You don’t know a person until you have prayed with them.

The theme for Wednesday’s evening sermon was Forgiveness, with Psalm 130:4 being the text. “But there is forgiveness with Thee”. Dale told us that God can heal the hurts and make wrong things right! We believe in forgiveness, but we can believe it better! Forgiveness is a miracle! We need the forgiveness of others…husbands from […] The post But There is Forgiveness With Thee https://bmcgladys.com/but-there-is-forgiveness-with-thee/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.
The greatest evidence that God is holy is His humility. Humility is not self-abasement, or being bashful or the absence of excellence. It does not happen with will power but by surrender. Humility defines the spirit of the Holy One. God comes in humility: in the garden when he pursued Adam and Eve, in Jesus […] The post The Humility of God https://bmcgladys.com/the-humility-of-god/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.

Genesis 24 begins with Isaac grieving his mother Sarah’s passing and Abraham realizing it was time to seek a wife for him. We see Abraham as a man of faith taking sure steps to make that happen in a Godly way. The complication was that there were no options locally, among the Canaanites. They were […] The post Isaac Finds a Wife https://bmcgladys.com/isaac-finds-a-wife/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.
Our faith in God is built around the expectation that God will be fair. Good things should happen to good people. There are benefits to serving God. But what we know about God and His ways is overwhelmingly dwarfed by what we do not yet know about Him.

Milton Hostedler’s last sermon was entitled “Time is Running Out” with the emphasis that too many people live as though there’s no end to time. Hebrews 4:11-13, Romans 14:10-12 – we will all have to give an account someday. Imagine that it’s your turn next; what will you regret? What will you be glad for?

Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We are all sinners and need a Savior. All the money in the world will not pay the price of sin. In the Old Testament, the sacrificial system was practiced.

Why was Jesus born at the time and place in history that he was? God had a plan. He has always had a plan. He was born in the fullness of time, according to Galatians 4:4. What does that mean? God’s timing is perfect. He does not operate on the same timetable that we do.

What we think matters.

What drove Paul to serve? His life was one of obedience, but it wasn’t a have-to obedience. He had caught God’s vision & purpose for the world. Three motivations that drove Paul were: The fear of God, not the scared kind of fear but one of reverence and awe, worship and respect. He had a […] The post Inspired To Serve https://bmcgladys.com/inspired-to-serve/ appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA https://bmcgladys.com.

There are qualifications for two groups of people in Scripture: bishops/ministers/shepherds and deacons. The four primary tasks of the bishop/minister/shepherd/pastor are preaching, pastoring/shepherding, leading/administrating, and working on a team. These tasks require qualified people.

The most obvious good news or “Gospel of the Kingdom of God” that Jeus proclaimed and lived is that the Gospel is not only for Jews but extends to Gentiles, outcasts, people sick with all kinds of diseases and torments, and the worst of sinners.
