The LVfirst Podcast

Welcome back to the After Amen Podcast! We're back after a week off and talking about the new series we started this past Sunday, The Table. Jesus spent a lot of time around the table with friends and strangers alike, so we're diving into what that could look like for us and for our community.

This Sunday we dug into our new series, The Table - where we are looking at what it could mean for us to gather around the table together. Specifically, we took a look at the story of Mary & Martha and how we can often get caught up and lose track of WHY we do what we do.

This Sunday was our special All Saints Sunday service where we remembered and celebrated the lives of the saints who passed away this year. This is an excerpt from that service. You can watch the full service online on YouTube or at www.lvfirst.org/sermons

In this late edition of the After Amen Podcast, we're looking back to Sunday's sermon about humility and going deeper into what that could look like for us and for our church.

When we climb the Ladder of Pride, we put ourselves in a place we were never meant to be - we put ourselves in the place of God. Jesus humbled himself and got on the ground to wash the disciples' feet - we are called to humble ourselves, engage with, and love our neighbors. No matter what differences we have, humility allows us to hold on to our convictions but also allows us to stay in the room with difference.

This Sunday we took a look at Paul's letter to the Ephesians and how we are called to be humble followers of Christ. In a world that is so divided, our only solution is to humble ourselves so that we can be a UNITED church.

In this past Sunday's sermon, we talked about what it means to truly BE KIND. After service, Caleb & Adam sat down to dive a little bit deeper into how kindness can strengthen our relationships and how we can practically implement "kindness" into our lives.

This Sunday we took a look at what it truly means to BE KIND. In our world, we often perceive "kindness" as a watered-down expression, but in scripture kindness is used as a powerful means to bring about change in our world. What does that mean for us? What does it look like for us to BE KIND?v

This Monday we're sitting down with Reverend Deanne Lynch to talk about her sermon this past Sunday which was focused around how we can BE Just. We're going to dig a little deeper into what justice means and how the Bible defines justice for us.

This Sunday we continued in our BE Campaign with a message from Reverend Deanne Lynch about how Christ calls us to BE just.
