Have Compassion (Putting your faith into action)
If we resist putting our faith into action, what is going on in our hearts? How do we develop compassion for those outside our own circle? How do we break down the walls that prevent us from loving others wholeheartedly? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern for others. Not just others in the church, but all people. The Apostle Paul wrote that we should have the same attitude that Jesus had – not just looking out for…
Take Action (Putting your faith into action)
Jesus came to open eyes, free captives and bring light to those in darkness. What is our active role in this ministry of Christ? When we see need in the world, what action can we take? How does what we believe impact whether we help or ignore the people around us? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern for others. Not just others in the church, but all people. The Apostle Paul wrote that we should have the…
Does your God look like Jesus?
When we read the Old Testament it can seem like God is a completely different person – like he changed his personality when Jesus arrived. But the apostles and teachers of the early church relied on the Old Testament to understand God and to understand Jesus as the Messiah. How does their teaching shape how we read the whole Bible today? If Jesus is the Messiah then what does that mean for my life today? When Jesus came he wasn’t…
Discover the Spirit (Breath of God)
How was the Holy Spirit involved in creation and in the world throughout the Old Testament? How is the same Spirit at work in the world around us today? The original words used in the Bible for the Holy Spirit are Ruach (Old Testament) and Pneuma (New Testament). These words are also used to describe breath and wind. By exploring the breath, wind and Spirit of God throughout the Bible we’ll understand better how he wants to work in our…
Is God chasing me?
We sometimes have a cartoon-like picture of God chasing us with anger. We misunderstand God and are afraid of him. But instead, in Psalm 23 we find a God who chases us with goodness and unfailing love. No matter where you go, no matter how far you run, no matter how much you hide, the goodness and unfailing love of God will pursue you all the days of your life. You can join us next week in-person at 9.30am or…
How to have everything you need (The Lack Nothing Life)
We often feel like we don’t have enough. “I don’t have enough time.” “I don’t have enough money.” “I don’t have enough friendship.” Despite the fact that we live in a culture with more than anyone has ever had, we feel like we’re missing out. One of the most famous poems in history, Psalm 23, presents us with a different way to live. Imagine going through life thinking, “I actually do have enough. I lack nothing!” It might seem impossible,…
What kind of church do you want to leave behind?
One day you and I will leave The Lakes Church. Even if we die as part of our church we’re going to hand it over to others one day. What kind of church do we want it to be then? Are you prepared to make The Lakes Church better today for others tomorrow? Now is the time to put your hand up to serve on a team specifically in our night service from May 15. www.thelakes.church/team You can join us…
