Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA

A Conservative Christian Church (and podcast)

Hope for the Church

The church is under constant attack these days, which can be very discouraging. Matthew 16:13-19 states the beginning of the church. It was founded on Peter's belief that Jesus was the anointed one and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar wanted his astrologers to tell him what he...

Qualifications for Ministers

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 qualifications for a bishop/minister/pastor (I Tim. 3:1-7): upright character, positive family life, able to suffer for the sake of others,... Read More

The church of Jesus Christ should be and do these things: worship, teach doctrine, proclaim the Gospel of Christ, provide belonging and fellowship, make disciples, experience... Read More

God Reaffirms the Covenant

A Covenant is a commitment, a promise, and is only as reliable as the person who makes it. John illustrated by offering a dollar to anyone who could do 5 jumping jacks in front of the church. Hannah accepted and received her dollar upon completion. We trusted John to give her the dollar but a... Read More

Seeing the Multitudes

When we see people, how do we see them? Sometimes we see categories. Sometimes we see the behavior of others. At times, we hardly notice people at all. How did Jesus see people?
