Star of Bethlehem Lutheran Church

We have so much to be thankful for this year.  What if God has blessed us with LESS and not more this year?  Should we still be thankful?  The answer is yes in Jesus.  Join us to find out how we can be thankful even when God gives us less.

Deuteronomy 8:10-18 19-11-27 More or Less

A passing glance at the news and current events would show one thing - no one seems to be in control.  On this Christ the King Sunday we remember that Jesus is, indeed, in control of the world.  He does so for the good of his church.  Join us this Sunday as we close out the church year worshiping Christ the King.

Colossians 1:13-20 19-11-24 Christ is your King

It doesn't take very long before we get tired.  We are tired physically, running ragged on our frantic American rat race to nowhere.  We are tired emotionally.  This is especially dangerous because too many of us go looking for rest in physically harmful ways - like drugs or alcohol.  Finally, we as a nation are spiritually exhausted because precious few know that Jesus is the only place to find rest for our weary souls.  This Sunday we look at the eternal rest God has planned for us in heaven.  Join us!  Find rest for your soul this Sunday at 10 AM.

Revelation 22:1-5 19-11-17 Paradise Restored

The Reformation of the Christian church brought many welcome changes.  The greatest of these was a spotlight on the gospel of Jesus.  There were also many societal benefits.  One of those was a highlight of God's design in marriage.  Join us this morning as we go back to the beginning to see God's plan for the perfect marriage.

Genesis 2:18-24 19-10-27 A Reformation Marriage

This week we continue our stewardship series, a look at the family of believers.  Last week we saw our identity - one of God's children, a son or daughter of the King of the Universe.  This Sunday we'll examine what we do with our time and the struggles that go all with it.

Numbers 11:16-29 19-10-20 Use Your Time

Can't I learn about God on my own?  Why do I need a church to get closer to God?  "I can go for a walk at the end of the day and watch the sun set over the water and be close to my God."  This week we'll answer the challenge to the Christian faith - why do we need organized religion.

Hosea 1:8-2:1 19/10/13 Leave it to Jesus

There is a cost to everything in life.  When it comes to learning in the school of hard knocks there are only two ways to learn.  From your pain or someone else's pain.  Which would you choose?  We finish out our four week series Weeks of Warning under the theme Cost.  Jesus tells us that life under his cross of suffering will have a very real cost to it.  That doesn't mean it isn't worth it.  The warning is that it won't always be easy.  The comfort is that we are never alone with him by our side.

Proverbs 9:8-12 19/9/15 Weeks of Warning - Cost

Four weeks of warnings for Christians begins on this Sunday! The life of faith will be marked by difficulties. These warnings are given so that the believer will be prepared to meet these challenges with the confidence of the cross. This Sunday we will see that the Word of God doesn’t always unite—it also divides. The living and active Word of God does not bring peace between believers and unbelievers, but division.  Where is the comfort?  The final purpose is the salvation of believers.

Jeremiah 23:23-29 19/8/25 Weeks of Warning - Division

The Golden Rule sounds simple enough - Love your neighbor as yourself. The trouble is that we are so sinful that we can find our way around just about ANYTHING! How corrupt is the human heart! "How corrupt is my heart!" says the honest Christian. This Sunday join us at 10 AM for worship.

Luke 10:25-37 19/7/28 Love Your Neighbor

The joy of the ministry is service.  Our Lord gives us some instructions in the gospel lesson.  In our message we'll see how God carries that out through the prophet Elijah.  The question is where do you fit in?  Come and find out this Sunday.

1 Kings 17:1-16 19/7/21 Let It Rain

Imagine your brothers sold you as a slave.  Not to worry, you landed on your feet and had a great job in charge of a noble man's house.  Things got ugly though - to protect your reputation and to honor your God you lost your job and ended up in prison.  Does this sound like a good life to you?  You may know the story of Joseph already, but we're answer the question: Is faithfulness worth the trouble it brings?  Come this Sunday at 10:00 AM and find the answer in God's word.

Genesis 39:6-23 19/7/14 Worth It

How many times should I forgive me brother?  How many times should God forgive us?  Our God has forgiven all of our debts.  In our message this morning Jesus talks to a man about forgiveness but he uses the topic of thankfulness to make his point.  Watch, and see if this applies to you.

Luke 7:36-50 19/7/7 Forgiven Debt

What does a great faith look like?  Jesus holds up an unlikely example for the Jews.  A great faith is unselfish, Christ-centered, humble, and holds to every word of God.  This week we'll explore parts of a great faith.

Luke 7:1-10 19/6/23 This Is A Great Faith

What a song!  The picture in Revelation has everything except the tune.  The majesty and the glory of our God on full display is a powerful vision of comfort.  To God's timeless view of the world, this is a done deal.  To our limited view of life in time, we have a way to go.  God won't leave us.  This Sunday we offer comfort using a view from heaven.  Join us!

Revelation 5:11-14 19/5/5 We Praise the Lamb

Why is it that the Sunday after the highest festival of the church year is about doubt?  That's because doubts creep into our lives.  Thomas had the word of every disciple and he still claimed to know better.  Stop doubting and believe is the call from our God. Jesus is alive!

Acts 5:12,17-32 19/4/28 Leaving the Chains

What does a great victory look like?  Maybe you can think of a few in the history of the world.  Our God knows a thing or two about great victories.  The difference is that they may not always look like great victories to our eyes.  Join us this Sunday as we see our God never get tired of winning.  We win the victory with him.

Isaiah 43:16-24 19/4/7 Victory

Persecution, intimidation, and threats can be part of the Christian walk.  In our Gospel lesson we'll see how Jesus faced these during his ministry as did a missionary to Ireland named Patrick.  Watch this Sunday as we look at how our God would have us respond.

Jeremiah 26:8-15 19/3/17 Reckless Love

We are only dust and ashes before our Holy God.  David knew that too well.  In 2 Samuel 24 he repents of his sin, but the consequences are catastrophic.

2 Samuel 24:10-25 19/3/6 The Cost

When you are attacked verbally or physically what is your first reaction?  God has not set us up to be physical or emotional punching bags, but how can we "turn the other cheek" and keep the peace?  We'll look at a Christians response to persecution this Sunday.

Genesis 45:3-8,15 19/2/24 Redemption not Revenge

There are some things that sound like a bad idea.  Take fishing in the middle of a lake during the middle of the day with a net.  That probably won't work.  When Jesus tells you to try something, the chances are very good that he has a reason.  This Sunday we'll look at Jesus' fishing advice and what it means for our lives.  This Sunday come fishing with Jesus.
