Christmas is full of lights, but the original Christmas story is really about Light entering darkness. In John 12, Jesus says, “I have come as light into the world,” so that we would not remain in darkness. This week, we explore what that means, how darkness isn’t God leaving but us moving away, and how Jesus invites us to abide in His light, face to face, for real life, healing, and hope.⚫CONNECT WITH US: 📱 <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bethelchurchwa/'>Instagram</a> 🌐 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bethelchurchwa'>Facebook</a> 🎧 <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1248968/'>Audio Podcasts</a>

Real Christmas: Light

What happens when we build our lives around our own name? Babel shows how pride and fear push us toward control, comfort, and self-made security. But when human ambition drifts from God’s purpose, He steps in—not to punish, but to realign us with His mission for the world. Genesis reminds us that we’re called to be a people centered on Him, not on ourselves.⚫CONNECT WITH US: 📱 <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bethelchurchwa/'>Instagram</a> 🌐 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bethelchurchwa'>Facebook</a> 🎧 <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1248968/'>Audio Podcasts</a>

In the Beginning: Mission Drift

What kind of God brings both judgment and rescue? The flood wasn’t just destruction—it was a reset, a way for God to cleanse what had spiraled beyond repair. Through Noah, we see a God who confronts evil yet refuses to abandon His world, offering a promise of restoration that continues to guide our journey with Him today.⚫CONNECT WITH US: 📱 <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bethelchurchwa/'>Instagram</a> 🌐 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bethelchurchwa'>Facebook</a> 🎧 <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1248968/'>Audio Podcasts</a>

In the Beginning: Salvation

Which way are we walking? Genesis contrasts two legacies, one marked by violence and self-rule, the other by a steady walk with God, shaped by hope and redemption. In a world fractured by sin, the text reminds us that there are still only two paths before us: the way of self or the way of surrender. And the journey of faith invites us to choose the latter.⚫CONNECT WITH US: 📱 <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bethelchurchwa/'>Instagram</a> 🌐 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bethelchurchwa'>Facebook</a> 🎧 <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1248968/'>Audio Podcasts</a>

In The Beginning: Two Ways

Why does comparison cut so deep? Cain and Abel show us how envy fractures relationships, isolates us, and leads us down destructive paths. Yet even here, God calls us back to grace, responsibility, and a way of life that restores what envy tries to tear apart, opening the door to relationships marked by unity rather than rivalry.⚫CONNECT WITH US: 📱 <a href='https://www.instagram.com/bethelchurchwa/'>Instagram</a> 🌐 <a href='https://www.facebook.com/bethelchurchwa'>Facebook</a> 🎧 <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1248968/'>Audio Podcasts</a>
