Come and See - Engaging in Biblical Community

8-20-2017 Kirah Johnson
Your family calendar is booked. In fact, it's overbooked. You shuffle carseats and to-do lists and sync your watches. You voulunteer at church at at your children's school. You work 40+ hours a week with co-workers you like. If you're lucky, you even work in a night out with friends. You see thousands of people every week. And still...you're lonely in a way you can't shake. 
God has designed believers to live in community and yet we're lacking in meaninful relationships. Follow along in John 4:1–42 as Jesus confruts a woman at a well with the same issue.

Change The World

06-25-2017 Rich Greene
If you've spent any time around LIFEchurch, you may have noticed that we value LOVING GOD and LOVING PEOPLE.  One of the ways that we express this is through living our life on mission.  When we serve others and give our lives away, we find purpose but it often requires that we sacrifice something.  Fear often holds us back... fear of loss, fear of the unknown, or fear of failure.
In this message, Pastor Rich will discuss our calling as a church to CHANGE THE WORLDand how we can be a part of that enormous calling.
