The LVfirst Podcast

This Sunday we dug into Paul's call for us to strain forward to that which lays ahead. We talked about how we need to leave the past behind and LIVE for the future.

In Philippians 1, Paul says "to live is Christ." This Sunday, we dove into what life to the fullest really looks like, and we found that when we live and view our circumstances as FOR Christ instead of FROM Christ, we can live our best life.

This Sunday we had the chance to hear from our Director of Connections, Sarah Snyder, as we continued in our series, Flip the Script.

Together, we dug into some key theological concepts relating to Jesus Christ and God the Father. We learned that we are called to have the same mind as Jesus in that we should take our advantages and power over others, lay them at the foot of the cross, and strive to act for the betterment of those around us.

This Sunday we kicked off our new series, Flip the Script. We started off in the Book of Philippians and talked about the importance of taking the long-view when it comes to our faith. Though we often want results now, it's important for us to remember that God is still working in all of our lives.

This Sunday we celebrated Confirmation at LVfirst as we welcomed 10 students into our church family! Confirmation Sunday is a huge "mountain-top" moment for these students as they take the next step in their faith journey. We talked about mountain top moments and how they help shape us and prepare us to not only recognize God on top of the mountain, but to still see God in the valleys.

This Sunday we wrapped up our series, Dear Theophilus, with a discussion around gratitude and how we can be more intentional about giving thanks to God.

This Sunday we're looking at the story of Jesus calming the sea and talking about how we can take back the control that fear has over our lives by trusting Jesus and finding faith IN the midst of our fears.

This Sunday we continued in our series, Dear Theophilus, by looking at the story of the friends who tore the roof off and lowered their friend so that Jesus could heal him. We're looking at their faith and how we can "tear the roof off" of our faith!

This Sunday we started our new series, Dear Theophilus, where we will be sprinting through the story of Luke. Join us this month as we read through the entire Gospel of Luke in a new light and hope that we can gain some new insights as we go!

This Sunday we wrapped up our series, PRODIGAL, with one last look at the story of the Prodigal Son but through the perspective of the Father. We talked about what it means to keep our eyes on the road and what that looks like in our mission to connect the church to the community and the community to the church.
