Church guide

It was great to see the VBS kids singing in church this morning.

Tonight a Jesus Saves conga line broke out at VBS! Praising our Savior and growing closer to Him.

Night 4 of VBS and we had a conga line during closing! We have been learning about Jesus all over the world and our mission supports Orphans all over the world! Don't forget to bring money or first aid supplies tomorrow night.

This time of day. Ugh. Transition time, hungry, tired kiddos, dinner prep time, parents’ patience wearing thin, everyone just a little bonkers (sometimes more than a little). It’s also at this time each day that the sun shines through my window decorations and casts a rainbow onto this wall. Coincidence? Not a chance. It’s my everyday reminder to slow down and remember His promises and His providence.

Vacation Bible School is off to a great start! 115 kiddos are learning about Jesus through games, crafts, and Bible time.

Thank you to Pastor Buss for visiting yesterday and for his sermon on Old Testament hero Joshua. May the God of Joshua give you peace and trust to know that He goes with you, too. May He increase in you the strength and courage to do what you are called to do. And, may you go out today and tomorrow, boldly proclaiming the Gospel that the Lion of Judah cared for you and cares for you still.

Our prayers are with the people of Southern California today. Heavenly Father, As our brothers and sisters begin to assess damage as well as encounter power outages, landslides, and fires from the earthquake, walk beside them. Keep them safe and bless them with quick restoration. Remind them that You are the solid Rock on which they stand. Help them not to be anxious about the next aftershock, but enable them to be the salt and light for You in a shaken community. Open the eyes and soften the hearts of those who do not yet know You. Allow them to see Your mighty hand working to stabilize Your people in this shaky time as always. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Everybody likes a good underdog story. If a team is undefeated, strong, and expected to win, a victory is just another game. But, if all bets are against them, an upset win is the talk of the town for days, weeks even. Remember that time the rookie pitcher threw a no hitter against them? Remember the time the 16th seed knocked out 1st seed in round 1? I know you remember those underdog stories with fondness. Friends, I also know you feel like the underdog sometimes. Your temptations or emotions get the better of you. You’re not strong enough, good enough, fast enough, or loving enough. Well, you’re in good company. Paul also felt like an underdog, but he knew his God wasn’t limited by his limitations. In 2 Corinthians 12, he writes that he begged God to take his weaknesses. “But God said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” That’s an underdog story worth telling.

Vacation Bible School is ONE WEEK away!!! Don't delay...register today! www.lolchurch.net We have a fabulous week of food, games, songs. crafts, and fun! You don't want to miss it!

TMac and Pastor Matt are on the same page today. God’s timing is always right.

Babies and bubble wrap. Need I say more?

This weekend we learned about the story of another Old Testament hero, Joseph. I’ve been trying to put myself into his shoes over the past few days. Sold into slavery by his own family. Betrayed and abandoned. Imprisoned and cast out of society. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if he played the victim and wallowed in self pity, or if he got angry and plotted revenge. By the world’s standards, he had every right to be bitter and vengeful. But Joseph was not a man of the world, he was a man of God. He prayed and forgave. He gave his circumstances to God and trusted that God would bring beauty from the ashes of that situation. And his God didn’t disappoint. You can read in Genesis 45 just how God turned that situation around for Joseph and his whole family (yes, even for the brothers who sold him out). Friends, that isn’t just Joseph’s God or the God of the Old Testament. That’s the very same God who reigns today. He’s trustworthy, He’s able, and He’s a worker of miracles. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 What fires are burning in your life? Give it to God today. Heavenly Father, Give me the strength to resist the temptation to become bitter or angry with my situation. I pray that You will bring beauty from these ashes and use my story for Your eternal glory. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

“Mi Dios es tan Grande tan fuerte y poderoso, no hay nada que no pueda hacer!” Lyrics to a song we taught the kids in Panamá, ringing so true as we prepare to travel back home this morning. “My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do!” We have many amazing stories tell about the love of Jesus and the movement of the Spirt from this week. Get ready to hear some Good News! God is not done yet! He is on the move!

Happy first day of Summer! Hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine ☀️ and spread some Son-shine ✝️
