  • God's Call For Justice

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 20, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,033 views

    To be faithful to our God we must be concerned with much more than our own peace of mind or personal holiness. God calls us to care about others and the treatment they get in society.

    The Gospel According to Isaiah, Part 4: God’s Call for Justice Isaiah 1:16-26 March 18, 2012 Rev. Stephen Aram Probably most of us have heard people speaking about their faith as a very private thing, something you feel in your heart, something you don’t talk about. Sometimes you hear ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 20, 2019
     | 4,728 views

    When we carry a vision of the beautiful world that God is working to build, we find clarity of vision and hope to fulfill it.

    The Gospel According to Isaiah, Part 5: God’s Dream of a New Zion Isaiah 62:1-12 March 25, 2012 Rev. Stephen Aram Bethel United Methodist Church Certainly one of the greatest blessings I have ever had in my life came in the year 1977.

     | 5,060 views

    As the prophet Isaiah sought to know God's heart, the Lord revealed to him hints of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ.

    The Gospel According to Isaiah, Part 6: God’s Promise of a Messiah, Offered and Rejected Isaiah 9:2-7 Palm Sunday, April 1, 2012 Rev. Stephen Aram Bethel United Methodist Church On that day when Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem he presented the crowds with a bit of street ...read more

  • When Jesus Comes, Peace

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
     | 4,097 views

    It is a bit audacious to talk about peace on earth in our world today, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace gives us hope.

    It’s a bit audacious to talk about peace, even on Christmas day, here in the year 2005, or any year, for that matter. Internationally, we have 160,000 of our troops stationed in Iraq, in harm’s way and far away from home, for Christmas this year. And the protests by the Sunnis against the recent ...read more

  • Comfort My People

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
     | 6,066 views

    The weeks running up to Christmas can be really stressful. Remember that God comes to comfort his people.

    This is the second Sunday now in the church season of Advent, as we celebrate the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The word “Advent” means that someone is coming, or arriving. There are many ideas of what will happen when Jesus comes. I suppose most kids in America identify the coming of ...read more

  • Precious In God's Sight

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,338 views

    Do you realize how much God loves you?

    Sometimes when I’m wrestling to figure out what is on God’s heart for me to preach on, I’ll take a pictorial directory of our church family, look at the pictures one by one and pray, “Lord, what is on your heart for this person, for that family?” I did just that this week, thinking about this ...read more

  • Why Did Jesus Really Come?

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
     | 5,421 views

    The prophet Isaiah foretold some of the most beautiful results of the coming of Jesus.

    There is a phrase that you hear more and more this time of year, as we get closer and closer to Christmas. The phrase is ‘the true meaning of Christmas.’ Mostly you hear it used with an unhappy tone as people are missing out on ‘the true meaning of Christmas.’ I’m one of these people who like to ...read more

  • The Church Is Like A Garden

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
     | 6,239 views

    Church is a Growing Place

    When this building was first constructed, it was called Garden Methodist Church. The name was changed to First United Methodist Church when Garden Church and Redeemer Church merged in 1975. But on this day, when we dedicate our memorial walkway, I want to look back a bit and then look forward. ...read more

  • Tear Open The Heavens And Come Down

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,653 views

    Do you realize how much we need God to intervene in our world? The prophet Isaiah modeled for us a heart longing for God.

    This morning we are going to look at a deeply heart-felt prayer from the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah. As I read it for you perhaps you’ll recognize that his longing for God to come and stir up God’s people of his day is a longing that many of us are also feeling deep down inside. And perhaps ...read more

  • Paul And Ephesus

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 2,619 views

    We hear Paul's letter to the Ephesians like we might overhear someone talking on the phone. We get only half of the conversation. If we are going to understand Paul's teaching we need to learn as much as possible about the circumstances of his readers.

    Years ago there was a farmer from a very small village in Germany who was just itching to get out and see something of the world. His big chance came when his nephew got a job on a barge that would sail up the Rhine River to Rotterdam. Even if it only stayed there for one day to drop off one ...read more

  • God Chose You

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 6,625 views

    Some of us might have trouble believing that the big, eternal God would ever even notice little old me. But Paul, right from the start of his letter to the Ephesians, emphasized that God had chosen them to be his.

    This is our third Sunday now focusing on the book of Ephesians. At last we're getting around to starting at the beginning. We have already peaked at parts of chapter 2 and chapter 3 because of special themes for Epiphany and Human Relations Sunday. But now we get back to a more orderly ...read more

  • You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 1: God The Father

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 2,791 views

    Too many Christians feel inadequate to be any use to God or their church. Paul reminds the Ephesian Christians of the resources they have going for them.

    In any church you’ll find some members who sit on the sidelines, feeling like they don’t really belong on the team. They have heard a number of times that God loves them, but in their hearts, they wonder. They feel a little lonely at church, a little on the sidelines. And they’d like to get to ...read more

  • You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 2: The Trinity

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 1,754 views

    It can be confusing to talk about serving one God who is 3 persons. We may think we can just ignore abstract ideas like that. But this part of the nature of our God is one of the richest blessings of being a Christian

    Last week we started looking at the main body of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. He starts out with a very high falutin statement of the glory of God, listing first, blessings we have received through God the Father, then through God the Son, then through God the Holy Spirit. Starting out like ...read more

  • God The Son Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 2,448 views

    We may think we can make our own way to be good enough, but our only hope is in the redemption won by Jesus.

    We are still at the beginning of working our way through one of the most amazing books of the Bible, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. It presents the most beautiful picture of the church and the Christian life, a picture that really stretches your mind. The last two weeks we have been working ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019
     | 4,768 views

    The Christian faith focuses on what God did long ago and will do in the future. But an experience of the Holy Spirit is a taste of what God means to us here and now, deep in our hearts.

    Today we’ll finish up with the first chapter of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Because of holidays and our communion schedule we haven’t done the chapter in order. Some weeks ago we started looking at the trinitarian opening of the letter, with Paul’s introduction of God the Father, God the Son, ...read more
