New Song on Sunday

This Sunday we’ll be learning a new hymn titled, For the Sake of His Name. Here’s an mp3 of what it sounds like. Enjoy and see you Sunday:

He is Good

We sang this last night. This simple truth set to a simple tune will be an encouragement. HT: The two singing/playing are Kevin Inafuku of Harvest Baptist and Jonathan Albright of Brookside Baptist.

Free Friday Give-Away

The Herbster Evangelistic Team have just released their latest recording, a children’s cd, titled Come, Children Join to Sing. We had Mike and Mark Herbster for revival meetings in 2008. We look forward the next time we host them for revival meetings. Their latest recording is described on their website: The Herbster Cousins sing some [...]

Song Favorites at Bethel

We had an encouraging and enjoyable time last night at our Summer Singspiration Service. We’ve heard many appreciative comments. It’s simply edifying to have a whole service of our favorite songs. For the past few weeks we’ve been taking favorite song requests and so the order of the songs we sang last night was the [...]

Free Friday Give-Away

It’s been awhile since we’ve given away something free on BethelLife. Actually this week we’re giving away two items. With the HOPE concert coming this Sunday we thought now would be a good time to give away a free copy of Kelly Brake-Hubbard’s new cd, Hope. Also, a couple that we’re familiar with at Bethel, [...]

The Power of Music

While I must provide the disclaimer that music cannot transform an eternal soul, the obvious power of music’s influence for good or for evil [...]

Free Stuff Friday!

And it’s not even the day after Thanksgiving! We’re going to try something new here at Bethel Life. Each Friday (and when I say “each,” I am using that term very loosely), we’ll be giving away something for free. Hence “Free Stuff Friday.” What will we be giving away? A new car? A year’s supply [...]

My Favorite CD

There is no doubt about it: we have access to more good music today than at any other time in history.  Download it or buy it the old fashioned way, music is available.  We even have websites like sacredaudio.com that are helpful in pulling together good music selections. I thought this would be another good time for [...]

Faith to Sing

Do you have faith to sing? “What does faith have to do with singing?” you ask.  Simply stated, singing is an act of obedience.  And every act of obedience to God’s Word is an act of faith. But what does this act of faith actually accomplish? In one way, our singing is not about us.  It is about God.  The [...]

Real Men Sing!

Some of you men may have been unsure how to think about Pastor Campbell’s recent announcement that we’re having a men’s choir for Father’s Day morning. Basically, we’re trying to give you an opportunity to proclaim to your family and your church: “I praise God by singing. Other people may feel embarrassed. They might think [...]
