When the Lord Jesus becomes our sustenance and our daily bread is when we truly learn to abide in Him. This Sunday, Pastor Drew challenges us to grow in our dependence on Jesus.

Jesus can do so much with our "little" if we put it into His hands! This week Pastor Drew takes us through John 6 where Jesus multiplies the loaves and fish. God is asking us to surrender the little we have so He can truly do something amazing with it.

Psalm 24 says, "Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." Pastor Drew challenges us to open up the gate of our heart and let the King of glory enter every part of who we are.

As we conclude our Awakening Series, Pastor Tony defines for us what The Jesus Church looks like according to the Book of Acts. In many ways, we have defined what a "normal" church should be like from our experience and the world, rather than allowing God to shape and define what is the normal church from His perspective.

God's presence is what distinguishes the Church from the world. He is what gives us significance and value. He is the Spring of Living Water and without Him we are in a dry and parched land. The Church today needs to people who long for His presence more deeply and allow Jesus to be our King! Without King Jesus we are nothing.

In Jeremiah chapter 2, God is reminiscing about the days of Israel's youth when they loved Him and followed Him whole heartedly. Israel had drifted away from Him and had begun following worthless idols. And now, God was calling them back to Himself. We are not unlike Israel. We have a propensity towards wandering away from God to empty things, but God is calling us back to Himself.

This week we have the privilege of welcoming Pastor Austin Weaver to be our special guest speaker. Austin and his family pastor and reside in Des Moines and have been longtime friends of LifePointe. Today he shares a message on passing the baton of faith to the next generation.

The next generation deserves a opportunity to experience the power of God in an authentic way. Without an encounter with Him, we will produce an empty performance based religion. Jesus shows us the fruit of such a life in many of His encounters with the Pharisees. In Luke 18, Jesus tells us a parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector to show that God is looking for a humble a repentant heart.

Fellowship with the Holy Spirit is one of the most beautiful benefits of following Jesus. The nearness that comes in walking with Him is priceless. So how do we have fellowship with the Spirit? This morning Pastor Tony gives us some helpful principles for experiencing the Holy Spirit daily.

The presence of God is the what distinguishes His people from the world. He desires that His presence invade every part of our lives. That is why we honor Him with our worship and we pray the prayer, 'Come Lord Jesus", so that He might come and change, transform, and renew our region.
