Welcome to Bethel's Sermon of the Week.

Today's message comes from a continued place of humility and reflection before the Lord and our church community.

In this service, Pastor Dan Fairley shares with the church, and we then move into a time of communion together.

For those seeking additional context from last Sunday service, resources are

you in Jesus name amen well good I'm just going to be speaking for about 10 or 15 minutes or so

I'm not going to be preaching I haven't brought my Bible up here the meat of the scripture will
