James 1:1–8 (Listen)

1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:

Greetings.

2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

(ESV)

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.

Debra’s story

“I realised God loved me and wanted me back”

I was a bit of wild child – doing what I wanted when I wanted. I wasn't really thinking about God. But after getting married I took my children to Bethel's Sunday School and started going back to the church. I used to hide under my hymn book as we were singing. I was in tears, thinking, 'What have I done with my life?' I realised what a fool I'd been, but I knew God was working in me – he loved me and wanted me back.
