Welcome to our web site.

Bethel Lutheran Brethren Church is a member

congregation of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren.

We are a Gospel-centered ministry where salvation by grace alone is

proclaimed and where godly living, patterned after the

principles of Scripture, is encouraged.

From This Month's "The Pastor's Corner"

I recently returned from the annual convention of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren Synod, which Bethel is a part of.

The theme for this years convention was Thy Will Be Done which comes from the Lords Prayer. Jesus taught his disciples

to pray as found in Matthew 6:9-13. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name, your

kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also

have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

So, when we pray the Lords Prayer we pray that Gods will, will be done in our lives. Are we, are you praying that Gods will

would be done in your life. Often times we want our will to be done, so when things dont go our way we are disappointed and

maybe even upset. If we get sick, can we pray that Gods will, will be done in our lives? If we are having trouble with our work,

can we pray that Gods will, will be done? If we are having relationship difficulties, can we pray that Gods will, will be done?

The answer is yes, we can pray and we can trust God that His will for our lives is the best for each one of us. We can depend on

God. We can submit our lives to Him.

Romans 12:1 & 2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of Gods mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing

to God  this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing

of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is his good, pleasing and perfect will. Gods will is perfect,

pleasing and good, so, why not pray that Gods will be done in our lives.

In James 4 it explains the attitude we ought to have when it comes to our will and Gods will. We may confidently make plans for

the future, not taking into account that we dont even know what tomorrow will bring. Instead we should have the attitude that says,

If it is the Lords will, we will live and do this or that. As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. James 4:15 & 16 Your

will be done.

Rejoicing that Gods will for your life and mine is good,

Pastor Manley Olsoe
