We were each made with an innate need to belong and be accepted, designed to thrive exclusively within community. Community was God's idea. However, in today's world, we have to constantly battle individualism and isolation. But the benefits of community greatly outweigh the cost of doing things on our own. What do we gain? Counsel, friendship, partnership and accountability. Truly, we are BETTER TOGETHER.

As parents, we have a lot of expectations placed on us, either by others or by our own doing. What we need is to build our parenting on a Foundation that does not change. So how do we tame our expectations as parents? Pastor Patrick shows us three essential truths to parent by and how they benefit not only us but our children as well: 1) dedicating our children to God's way and God's will, 2) replace comparison with love and understanding, and 3) establish Biblical values for healthy and realistic expectations. Listen in!

As Christ-followers, we are called to the plan of God in this world - to leave a mark on the next generation and to reconcile people to Him. So how do we do this? We DEDICATE ourselves to the purposes of God and COMMIT to making a difference. This requires obedience and sacrifice. Listen as we not only learn how to dedicate our personal lives to the work of the Lord, but how to join Life Fellowship as we commit to what God is doing over the next year and the next decade through our church.

Each of our lives was intentionally designed with purpose that extends to other people and lasts beyond our lifetime. So where do we FIND our purpose? In this message, discover how our purpose in life comes into clarity when we pursue our DESIGN and know our IDENTITY. We are wired to participate in God’s plan for this earth, and only by yielding to His purpose will we find the life we were intended to live and make a difference beyond our "7.5" decades.

God has a plan for each of our lives. Do we know what it is? How do we find it?
So often we'd rather do our own thing, go our own way, or even try a new path rather than God's. Our focus is on circumstances and our desires, so we forfeit our faith and God's perfect plan. In His kindness, He asks us to stop and "consider our ways." What have they gotten us? Are we where we want to be or are we just surviving this thing called life? Finding the plan of God for our lives is simple: PURSUE THE RIGHT PATH AND STAY ON IT. What you decide to do with where you are right now, is the only influence you have over where you’re going in the future.

The average lifespan is said to be 7.5 decades. During our lives, we are actively leaving a legacy; it’s simply a matter of what kind. As we enter the 2020's, ask yourself: "If I continue to live my life the way I'm living it right now, what kind of legacy will I leave behind?" In this message, Pastor Patrick shares where to set our priorities and focus that we may enter into this new decade set to leave a spiritual mark and have an impact on a generation that transcends our lifetime.
