2 Samuel 23:1–7 (Listen)

23:1 Now these are the last words of David:

  The oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
    the oracle of the man who was raised on high,
  the anointed of the God of Jacob,
    the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2   “The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me;
    his word is on my tongue.
3   The God of Israel has spoken;
    the Rock of Israel has said to me:
  When one rules justly over men,
    ruling in the fear of God,
4   he dawns on them like the morning light,
    like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
    like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
5   “For does not my house stand so with God?
    For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things and secure.
  For will he not cause to prosper
    all my help and my desire?
6   But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away,
    for they cannot be taken with the hand;
7   but the man who touches them
    arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
    and they are utterly consumed with fire.”

Fellowship and growth
We grow in many different ways, but a great deal of Christian growth is done in fellowship and community with others. That's why we offer many different ministries to help with our growth, from relaxed fellowship at our coffee morning, to in-depth study at Growing Together.

Brian’s story

“Working and drinking — that was my life”

When I was younger I worked during the day and went to the pubs and clubs to drink in the nights and on weekends. That was my life — no real direction or focus. But since going to Bethel, I've found something much better.
