Lessons from FirstNaz

The Last Sunday in September instead of a traditional worship service in the sanctuary, we split into groups to show God's love to the L-C Community through a handful of projects. This was AMAZING! God is GREAT!

Pastor says if you ask anyone what a servant is, you will likely get many different responses. He shares from the Bible about servanthood as a heart issue (Romans 12:7& Gal 5:13) and a mind issue (Mark 10:45 & Phil 2:5) and how we serve with LOVE just as Jesus did (John 13).

Pastor Bill shares from the Gospel of Matthew the story of Jesus' compassion for the hungry people and how from very little, Jesus met the needs of many people. We too, relying on God to solve the problems that appear when we are called to serve, can meet the needs of others, and in doing so, experience great joy in how God transforms us through these experiences.

In the final letter to the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation, Jesus speaks to the Church in Laodicea, a powerful message. Listen as Pastor Cliff addresses the heart of Jesus' message and how we can apply it to our own lives. God is knocking at our door. Have you let Him in or will you? So that you may experience deep relationship with the One who Loves you immensely?

We are all broken-hearted and grieving the loss of our fellow Brother in Christ, Brian Johnson. Pastor Cliff shares sensitively some answers to three questions that we may be asking ourselves in the face of tragedy. God hopes we can accept His love and comfort. The path to peace is a long way off, but this sermon may help along the way.

This is not a prepared sermon, but some comforting truths about God’s love for us in difficult times. On this particular day, our church was hit with the devestating news that a beloved member had gone to be with Jesus. Pastor Bill shares this message to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to and comfort our hearts.

Labeling- we all do it, but from the context of a worldly view. What should are response be?
