Reaching the Lost. Discipling the Saved. Sharing the Love of Jesus with Everyone.

Author: Scott Heitshusen (Page 53 of 92)

Incarnate!

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (esv)

It can be easy for us to look at the Baby in the manger and see just that Baby.

But this was no ordinary child.

He is the Word made flesh! He is the only Son of the Father! He is the promised Messiah!

Praise the Lord for unordinary, unorthodox, undeserved Gift – Jesus!

Proud Papa!

The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 (esv)

It can be easy to feel insignificant and far from God – especially when wallowing in the shame of our sins.

But the whole reason Jesus came was to free us from those sins, release us from that shame and guilt, and draw us to Himself!

Instead of being far from God, through Jesus, He draws us to Himself – and even rejoices over us with gladness!

Amazing!

Simply amazing!

The Books of Luke & Acts

“It seemed good to me…to write an orderly account for you,…that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.” ~Luke 1:3-4

So begins the Gospel of Luke, where we hear about the prophecy of Jesus, His life, His death, and His resurrection. Luke then follows up with the book of Acts where he begins with the Ascension and ends with St. Paul in Rome.

The Life of Jesus and the start of the New Testament Church!

That’s a lot of great stuff and Luke was careful to record it so all might know and believe in Jesus.

Acts 2:42 tells us, “they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”

May we devote ourselves to this — for the glory of God and the faith of others!

Join us as we explore: Sundays, 8:30 AM in the café, starting in January, 2022.

Christmas Eve — Food, Fellowship, Worship!

Join us on Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24, for food, fellowship, and worship at LifeBridge!

We’ll start at 6:00 PM in the cafe with food and fellowship, sharing the joy of Jesus with laughter, fellowship, and food!

We’ll then journey into the sanctuary at 7:00 PM to hear, experience, and partake in the worship of the Newborn King, Jesus; the Savior born for us!

We hope you’ll join us!

Fellowship & Food: Worship:

Let the Son Shine In!

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Revelation 21:22-23 (esv)

Sometimes it’s helpful to start from the end – especially when we’re going through heartache and struggle.

In Revelation we are given a beautiful glimpse of Heaven; with God taking center stage.

How wonderful it will be!

Jesus came to redeem us and now prepares a beautiful place for us for eternity with Him!

With that to look forward to, all of the temporary issues we are dealing with here are trivial!
