On Thursday, April 18, at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary, LifeBridge will celebrate a Seder Meal. (“Seder” means “order.”)
NOTE: Due to the great amount of preparations needed for this event, we need a good tally of how many people will be coming. As such, there is a sign-up sheet in the sanctuary and it is imperative to sign-up and let us know how many are coming (adults and children).
A service celebrating his faith and life will take place at Knesek Brothers Funeral Chapel on Thursday, March 7, 2019, at 10:00 AM with a graveside interment service following at the Sealy Cemetery.
Following the graveside service, all are welcome to a reception at LifeBridge Community Church.
Please keep the family in your prayers during this difficult time.
“He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears.
Isaiah 25:8a
This Lenten Season (which begins on Ash Wednesday on March 6, and culminates on Easter Sunday), we will embark on a new journey focused on the PASSION of Jesus through His suffering, life, death, and resurrection. Our theme verse is from Isaiah 25:8a: “He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears.”
We will journey through this passion by primarily going through Matthew, chapters 26 and 27, covering such aspects as “The Lord’s Supper,” “Prayers in Gethsemane,” “Denial,” “Hopelessness,” “Choosing Murderers,” and “Mocking.”
Many people don’t care
for Lent. It seems dark and depressing. It is a more somber time when we put a
lot of emphasis on our sins, on Jesus’ suffering, and on repentance.
Certainly, those are
not “happy” areas. But, they are necessary
areas and, when sought and given time and focus, they can be areas of extreme
growth in faith and closeness to God.
Personally, Lent is
one of my favorite times of the year. It allows me to examine and separate more
from myself, lay myself bare before the Lord in humility and contrition, and behold
His immense love and mercy. It’s a time for me to explore the utter depth of my
depravity and sin, but even more deep His love and grace for me. It allows me
to experience the highest high of the resurrection because I’ve been to the
lowest low of my sin and His sacrifice! It allows me to participate, as much as
humanly possible, the full breath of the immense passion and love of Jesus!
How awesome is that?!
I encourage you to come and experience the PASSION and love of Jesus with us at LifeBridge. You will be blessed!
Are you paying attention to the coming newborn King Jesus, or are the distractions of the season and culture overshadowing Him? What’s your perspective about Jesus when you hear the “Good News of Great Joy” this season?
This Advent and Christmas we will BEHOLD! the coming of the Christ Child from different perspectives, like Isaiah, Mary, and Joseph. How did they understand God’s plan? How did they view their situations? What did Jesus mean to them?
For our next sermon series we will take a view from different people and groups in the Christmas narrative and see what their unique perspective was. Perhaps their take on this Baby, this “Lamb of God” will change our perspective, too!
