WE’RE OPEN! It’s Time to Come Home!

Dear LifeBridge members, families, and friends.

We have been open, having services now for one year after our brief closure in the Spring of 2020.

We took several measures to keep families safe while still giving you the chance to worship. Some of these changes included closing the café entrance, changing our chair spacing for the service, and changing to individual communion cups.

To our knowledge no one caught Covid 19 while attending our services. We have been Blessed!

We have now reopened the café entrance for our snacks and fellowship time and our chairs are beginning to get a little closer together. Although we will still be using the individual communion cups for now, will return to having a prayer partner behind the chairs for anyone needing that personal time with a prayer partner starting on July 4th!

Thank you for your continued prayers and financial support during the past year as we look for to a much more normal LifeBridge Sunday worship!

Also, I would like to remind everyone that in October we will need to fill position for the Management Team and Board of Elders. You must be a member to be elected. Please visit Pastor Scott (713/965.6761) or any current member of those positions to learn more.

Serving Christ,
Alan Boehm,
Elder Chairman

A Bereaved Father: in Three Acts

Today – Father’s Day – we look at the story of the “Prodigal Son;” better understood as “The Bereaved Father.”

“ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me. Everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad. This brother of yours was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.’ ”

Luke 15:31-32 (NIrV)

SCRIPTURE:

“Where Do Ya Hang Your Hat?”

What’s your “comfort zone?” Where do you feel the most “at home?”

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

The problem for most of us Christians is that our answer is not “with Jesus!”

We get very comfortable in this world – with our stuff and way of doing things; with our attitudes and opinions.

Scripture tells us that being comfortable here is separation from the Lord.

We need to change our Comfort Zone to Heaven with Jesus, and let the rest fall where it may!

SCRIPTURE:

WELCOME!

We’re glad you’re here! Come in and relax. You’re among Christian friends. You’re important to all of us at LifeBridge because you are important to God.

Have a look around and feel free to call upon us. We’d love to get to know you!

“We’ve Got (the) Spirit; Yes, We Do…!”

Today we have a baptism and celebrate the Holy Spirit granted in a special way.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

John 3:5b

We are also reminded of our own baptism and the gift given to all who believe in Jesus.

In and through our Faith in Jesus, we have been blessed by being “born of water and the Spirit!”

What an awesome blessing – and reason to celebrate!

SCRIPTURE:

“Div. by 0 Error! Undefined!”

Our world is divided. Our country is divided. Our congregation is divided.

If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Mark 3:25

This should not and cannot be the case for the Body of Christ!

If we are to live in and for the cause of CHRIST, then we must find our unity in HIM and focus on it, and not something else – whatever it is!

That means loving and supporting our brothers and sisters even in disagreements because of the Faith we share and in Whom we share it – not matter what!

SCRIPTURE:

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire

“ ‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.’ … And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Acts 2:17a, 21

Pentecost is a pivotal event in the life of the Church. In fact, it’s often called “the birthday of the Church.”

On it, of course, we celebrate the gift of the promised Holy Spirit given to believers – and what that means for them and for the world in the light of Jesus!

May we be filled with the Spirit today!
