Psalm 125 (Listen)

A Song of Ascents.

125:1   Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
    which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2   As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the LORD surrounds his people,
    from this time forth and forevermore.
3   For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
    on the land allotted to the righteous,
  lest the righteous stretch out
    their hands to do wrong.
4   Do good, O LORD, to those who are good,
    and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5   But those who turn aside to their crooked ways
    the LORD will lead away with evildoers!
    Peace be upon Israel!

(ESV)

Finding faith
We love sharing our faith with others, but we also know from our own experience that many people need time and space to think through the message of the Bible for themselves. So if you want to explore what Christianity offers, we think you'll find Bethel a great place to do that. If you want to just listen, that's fine. If you've got questions, we'll do our best to help. If you've problems that no-one else seems to be able to help with — perhaps a bereavement, family crisis, or spiralling debts — then you'll find Bethel a place where you can not only get emotional and practical support, but spiritual help, too.

Eleanor’s story

“I couldn't believe that I’d gone to chapel all my life but I wasn't a Christian”

I was asked, ‘Do you believe in Jesus?’ and I said ‘Of course, I do!’ because I did – after all, I had been to church all my life. The problem was I believed in a Jesus that I didn't really know. But over time I accepted what the Bible was saying so I confessed to God that I was a sinner and came to know that there was no hope without him. And the older I get the more I realise how totally undeserving I am of all that God has done for me. That is what it’s all about — all I had was religion but it’s not about religion, it’s about really knowing God.
