Welcome to Bethany! Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

Who are you? That question is one of the most important questions in life. What is our identity? Many struggle over a lifetime trying to discover who they are? Some walk around with feelings of inadequacy and serious doubts about identity and purpose. Even Christians wrestle with identity. So what does God say about who we are? This morning we begin a study in the book of Ephesians that tells us who we are in Christ Jesus.

New Year blessings,

Pastor George
