Bethel Lutheran Church

One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...Psalm 27:4

Worship for May 7, 2023: Thanks A Lot, Stephen

We’re still in the season of Easter, celebrating the joy of the resurrection and shouting our alleluias! But Intern Monica Holman reminds us that we can’t celebrate Easter without remembering Stephen, the first Christian martyr, whose story made it clear that the church is not called to stay comfortable.

Our Bible passages today (click to follow along): John 14:1-14 and Acts 7:54-8:1.

Sermon Note: Monica cites a statistic from the 2022 National Survey of LGBTQ Youth Mental Health.
