Friend Day & New Sermon Series

Sunday, April 18th is Friend Day so invite your neighbors, friends, classmates, co-workers, family. Just make sure they are NOT plugged into a church already and then do WHATEVER it takes to get them to Lifehouse- bribe, kidnap (just make sure they're over 18), tranquilize, offer a dinner out on your dim... Just get your friends to church on Sunday. There are plenty of sets available in 9am service, but get there early for sets to the 10:30am service.

Also, kicking off a new sermon series called "Mixed Signals". It's about how to get clear direction from God in the midst of the noise around us. Watch the trailer here.

In case you were wondering where I was this past Sunday, I was grateful for a Sunday to visit one of our network churches down in Winchester (Lifehouse Church Shenandoah). Had a great time hanging out with Pastor Joel & Crystal Flower, who are doing a great job church planting. I feel privileged to serve alongside of them in Lifehouse Church Network.

Morning After Easter

Reflecting on Easter and Lifehouse services. Thanks to all volunteers and leaders who gave their best, served their guts out, and made Lifehouse a welcome center for people coming to experience God. Way to go! We really have an amazing team of servants and leaders.

We launched 2 services back in mid-January because we were at capacity in one service, and our second service yesterday felt like our only service did back in December. Hope everyone enjoyed a packed house! Always exciting to see so many engaged in worshiping and following Jesus. First service was a blast as well. Great to see the 9am crowd inviting their friends!

One thought that struck me yesterday, "The Resurrection changes everything!" If there was no resurrection, than we have no hope, no life, no meaning. If Jesus didn't rise, than Christianity is no different than any other religion, except that we should be most pitied (Apostle Paul said that no me), since we have a false hope then. BUT if Jesus died rise, and he DID, than the Resurrection changes everything. Through Jesus, we have life, forgiveness, hope, healing, purpose, power, and an eternal destination and the mortgage has already been paid in full.
