Guest Preacher This Weekend - Pastor Mark Henke

Pastor Henke will be guest preaching here at Bethany November 28-30. He will kick off our new sermon series entitled, “Proceed with Caution & Confidence.”

Our initial steps into the season of His coming (advent), are taken under the theme- Proceed With Caution and Confidence. Our first message in the series (Nov 28-30) will focus on the story of Noah, the flood, and God's dramatic rescue of Noah and his family. Perhaps your first recollection is of God's "rainbow promise" following the flood that brings a welcome sense of security to your life. But the truth is that right now, we, too, are living in a world that is destined for destruction. At the end of all things, all who have not focused their faith and life on Jesus will be caught in God's threatened destruction of our world as we know it. But just as that ark sheltered Noah from the pounding waves, cold wind, and driving rain, so at the cross, God put into effect His rescue plan for us, by allowing Jesus to take the pounding we deserve for our sins, safely sheltering us from the consequences of our shame and guilt. No one loves you more than Jesus -- how important it is to proceed in life with caution and confidence -- set apart by grace as His people of faith
