Welcome to Bethlehem Covenant's online ministry. Last Sunday's sermon on Luke 17:11-19 was called, "An Entire Starting Lineup of Ungrateful People." Jesus meets and then heals 10 lepers. He tells them to go show themselves to the priests (the common practice after a healing). They go on their way and sure enough, on the way, they are all healed. One of them immediately returns to Jesus and falls at His feet and gives him thanks and praise. The other nine, an entire baseball team's worth of healed people, do not give Jesus thanks. Jesus wonders why this is the case. How often are we among the nine instead of the one? We have much to be thankful for. Part of our thankfulness to God is our blessing others.
Here are some upcoming events on our calendar: Bible Study--Thursday Oct. 18th at 7pm. We are studying the gospel of John. Youth Group--Wed. Oct. 24th. Meet at church at 6:30pm.
