Confirmation is a “confirming of faith.” But even more, it is the “Affirmation of the Baptismal Promises” made by parents at Baptism. Today, the class of 2010 Affirms their faith in this public setting in response to their parents faith AND in response to God’s gracious love in Jesus Christ. We celebrate this faith together as the church and pray that such faith will grow and sustain these young people throughout their lives! http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100131.mp3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:00 PST Sermon delivered by Pastor Lori Eickmann. There is good news for the poor and release for the captive; the blind see and the oppressed are free. Christ is the fulfillment of God’s promise of life. We, as the body of Christ, help bring that promise into the world today. How are you gifted to bear the good news to those around you and to those you will never even meet? http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100124.mp3 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:30 PST Sermon delivered by Pastor Randy Pabst. For the most part, it is still the man who is expected to ask the woman for her “hand” in marriage. And, just as the woman may wait for the man to ask her, he then must wait for her response. It can be a difficult time in the life of the relationship. In that same way, God has invited us into full relationship (with God and each other). God must then wait for our response? Today, through the imagery of a wedding we explore how God actively seeks for our response. http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100117.mp3 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 09:00 PST Sermon delivered by Pastor Lori Eickmann. In baptism God frees us from sin and death by joining us to the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. But what does it mean to die and rise with Christ? Are you willing to re-commit to God’s vision for the world? Get ready—because today we renew our baptismal covenant with God. http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100110.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:00 PST Sermon delivered by Tom Hoegel, Tori Nyberg, David Emmert. http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20100103.mp3 Sun, 3 Jan 2010 09:00 PST Sermon delivered by Pastor Randy Pabst. The world has finished its celebrations for the season. The presents have been opened—some even put away, or returned, or whatever we do with those gifts. Many of the decorations are put away and the lights turned off. It’s time to move ahead to a new year! Yet we would be remiss if we did not remember the real wonder of Christmas yet one more time. Today we truly celebrate the birth of Jesus and what that means for us every day! http://bethelcupertino.org/worship/sermons/sermon20091227.mp3 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 10:30 PST
