Weekly Wisdom: Proverbs 10:23 “Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.” Do you find joy in doing the right thing? God as the source of all wisdom is delighted to rescue us from sinful entertainment. Ask, search, & knock! He waits.

Our school cafeteria is becoming more special. This week we welcomed our first members! Praise God for sustaining our little church. We’re thankful for every Living Branch attendee & can’t wait to see who else He brings! #churchplant #vows Learn more here: http://livingbranch.net/welcome-2/

Weekly Wisdom: Proverbs 13:10 “Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.” It’s so hard to humbly listen and disarm conflicts, isn’t it? Jesus made a career out of turning enemies into friends. Praise God we have such a wise savior!

Hey Noblesville and Hamilton County! Our 2019 free registration is well under way. Come join us! https://livingbranch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/231938

Weekly Wisdom: Proverbs 27:4 “Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?” Envy is coveting what another has feeling you deserve it (the 10th commandment declares it idolatry). Have you seen envy steal joy before? Gratefulness restores our souls.

Weekly Wisdom: Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Did you know “harsh” means “painful”? Gentle people help angry people become patient people who cause less multiplied pain. Praise God who is slow to anger & full of steadfast love!

One of the many reasons we promote community groups is it provides natural outlets for friendship and encouragement that you have to fight hard for elsewhere. August is a long way away. Do you have other adults you’d like to know? Send us an email! http://livingbranch.net/community-groups/

Weekly Wisdom from Proverbs 16:32: Whoever is slow to anger (patient) is better than the mighty (warrior), and he who rules his spirit (has self control) than he who takes a city (wins). It is far easier to master others than to master ourselves. Pray for this Fruit of the Spirit!

These ladies are getting all ready for this year’s Backyard Bible Club! Are you ready? https://livingbranch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/231938

“For joy awakes as dawning light when Christ’s disciples lift their eyes, and now he stands their friend and King, Christ, Christ he is risen.” What wondrous love and power! Rejoice with us at 10am if you don’t have a church home! Happy Easter! He’s alive!

We’re all wired for a great story of redemption, but never in history has there been an ending so truly great as the one we will celebrate tomorrow. Whether you grew up going to church or have never been, our 10am Easter service is for everyone. Come hear and see that He is really risen!

Isaiah 53 declares “By His wounds we are healed.” It was darker and bloodier than this, but look to the cross where Jesus died for you. Join us for our Good Friday service at 6:30pm to contemplate his love for you. Childcare will be available and it will only be an hour long.

Have you told a friend, neighbor, or coworker about our Good Friday service tomorrow at 6:30pm? All are welcome! Service will be one hour long in our normal meeting space.

Maundy (Commandment to Love) Thursday: “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.” - John 13:1-7

Wisdom Wednesday: Proverbs 14:10 “Each heart knows it’s own sorrow, and no one else can share it’s joy.” Have you guessed wrong about others’ motives or feelings? Nobody has experienced your life as you have. What godly opportunities does this truth allow in your relationships?

How can we be utterly certain that God loves us? Come join us Friday evening at 6:30pm at Legacy Christian School to find out. We will have nursery! #GoodFriday #HolyWeek

“There is no Easter unless there is Good Friday, and no good news unless there is bad news. Putting on our Gospel glasses, we see in one lens we are far more sinful than we thought, but in the other lens, we are far more loved in Jesus than we ever thought.” -Pastor Keith Doane
