Bethel Church of Fargo, ND Sermons

ONE THING Dear God… I am hurting, confused, crushed, perplexed, and none of this makes sense. I don’t understand it, nor do I get it. But through it all, I want you to know I trust you. You are my God, my King. Your ways are higher than mine. You love me and have your best in mind for me. If you choose not to allow me to understand this pain on this side of heaven, I will still trust you. Either way, please sustain me on this journey and help me to keep my eyes fixed on you.

ONE THING The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. -1 Corinthians 12:12 Please take the spiritual gift inventory to see how God has designed you to serve the body of Christ. 

ONE THING “What a man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart; he goes about with it night and day; he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may: wealth or self, pleasure or renown.” – Martin Luther

ONE THING The undeniable, unequivocal, and undisputable work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is the Fruit of the Spirit.

ONE THING Are you living to die or dying to live? My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20 (NLT)

ONE THING “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. - Colossians 3:12-14

ONE THING Philippians 1:6 - being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. As we walk the journey of completion, share what needs to be shared (burdens) and own what needs to be owned (responsibility)!

ONE THING Use your conscience as a warning sign not a GPS! And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, “Today—at the latest, tomorrow—we’re off to such and such a city for the year. We’re going to start a business and make a lot of money.” You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, “If the Master wills it and we’re still alive, we’ll do this or that.” – James 4:13-15 (MSG)

ONE THING Submit (humble) yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. – James 4:7
