Lifeway Church - First Friday

Social media can be a helpful tool, but we need to make sure that our social media presence is as saturated in the Holy Spirit's presence as every other area of our lives. Scripture tells us that we will be held accountable for every word we say ... or post! This teaching poses 5 questions to ask yourself before posting or commenting so that you can impact those around you in a positive way.

We will never run out of opportunities to be anxious. God's Word promises us a better way. This teaching will equip you to avoid being shaken by remaining steadfast and keeping spiritual traction. You will be encouraged that God has you positioned for protection and provision, and that you can truly be okay when there is no earthly reason to be okay, thanks to His gift of supernatural peace.

Anger is often a warning light for other unresolved issues, such as insecurity or anxiety. You always have a choice in how you respond. This teaching will encourage you to stay connected to Jesus so His life and love flow through you as you learn to respond to situations in a healthy way.

The enemy uses shame to try to shut us up and shut us down. Problem is … we often let him. It's important to understand the difference between guilt, which moves us to repentance, and shame, which is based on a lie. God's Word says we can be free from shame and that our source of shame can, in fact, become a platform for ministry to others.

Pastor Steve Sabol kicks off 2020 and our MOOD series about trading up loneliness for connection. The five most powerful words to speak to loneliness? YOU ARE COMPLETE WITH HIM (Colossians 2:10). We need to keep working on and perfect finding our completeness in Christ!

First comes love ... then comes marriage. But what happens in between? In this panel discussion, three couples share their stories of engagement successes and failures, offering honest wisdom and advice for those who desire to honor God and each other as they navigate the engagement period of their relationship.

Falling in love with someone is more of an art than a science. That's why formulas don't work. There may not be a Biblical perspective for dating, but there is a Biblical perspective for living. Be encouraged to focus on the truth of God's Word as you navigate the journey of dating, embracing God's call on your life, listening carefully for the Holy Spirit's guidance, and trusting God to write your own story.

A dynamic prayer life is an essential part of the Christian walk. Prayer and time in the scriptures show us God's blueprint for our lives and open our minds to the possibilities that are ours in Christ. This teaching will encourage you to "think big" when it comes to believing what God can do with a life consecrated to the Lord and connected to the heart and power of God through prayer.

When you know who you are in Christ, it changes everything! When you're clear on your identity, purpose, and focus, you count throw aside everything else because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ. Learn more in this message by JC Alzamora!

God takes us through a process to prepare us for places of influence. Sometimes we feel we have nothing to give, but the truth is, what God has for us transcends our current reality. God is always working in us, but He need us to work with Him. This teaching will encourage you to allow God to complete the work He has begun in you and trust that He has it all mapped out.
