Our Next Generation
April 12, 2026 – Something We’ve Never Imagined
Isaiah 43:16-21, 25 - Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, 17 who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: 18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, 21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise… 25 “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
This week we kick off our "Our Next Generation" series, exploring what it means for Bethlehem Lutheran Church & School to step boldly into the future while remaining anchored in God’s unchanging mission. As we look to God’s direction, we will reflect on how He has led us through the past and trust how He is guiding us into a new season of ministry. We begin by focusing on how God has faithfully led this congregation for nearly 100 years, but now, he is doing something new. “What does it look like when God is calling us to do something beyond what we’ve ever imagined?” God is calling us to embrace the future He is preparing for us, stepping out in faith to build His kingdom and as we continue in His mission.
