Life Ministry Church Sunday Sermons

When we tie our joy to our circumstances, sometimes it can be ripped away pretty quickly. Instant joy can be taken away instantly. True joy, joy from God comes even in unlikely circumstances. James says ‘Consider it pure JOY when you face trials’. Hebrews says ‘for the JOY set before him [Jesus] endured the cross’. Joy comes when we fix our focus on Christ in all circumstances.

Jesus was moved with compassion. His compassion for people wasn’t restricted just to Christians and insiders. It extended to everyone. When Jesus ascended to heaven and left us with the gift of the Holy Spirit, this was an act of compassion! That we may ALL reach people with the love of God.

As Jesus is, so are we in this world. Jesus is the light of this world. He continually casts light into darkness in our lives and in world. We are children of light and are called to BE light in the world!

Andy Hunt will be the newly appointed Lead Pastor of LMC as of 2020. Andy shares his response to Graham’s message (Jesus Is: Lord) and shares his testimony of how God has been faithful in his life. He reminds us that above all, Jesus is our calling in life. We are called to relationship with God, to consecrate our lives (be set apart and holy) and to serve. Communion delivered by Chris Blacker.
