In 2020, Pastor Laurie will be digger deeper into the sermon series: Tensions and Questions. This series deals with apparent contradictions, tensions or truths that seemingly are difficult to resolve in Scripture. Each Sunday, his sermon will be based on questions shared by the congregation of Bethel Bible Church when asked to share the most difficult parts to understand or resolve in the mind while reading Scripture and attempting to understand and obey the teachings of God’s Word.
While it can be a challenging series, Pastor Laurie trusts that the messages will be helpful as we look at the teachings of Scripture in balance.
