Two Announcements: Newcomer’s Dessert & Baptism Class
Since Easter, we have seen a dramatic increase in our Sunday attendance, and I’m thrilled that so many new people are discovering the simple message of Jesus that we share together at LCC. In light of that we are hosting two events this weekend to help people take their next steps with Jesus and with LCC.
Newcomer’s Dessert Sunday @ 4pm
Our first event is our Newcomer’s Dessert this Sunday. About once per quarter, my wife and I host this casual get-together to introduce ourselves and the church to the newcomers and the curious. This time, we will be hosting it at the LCC facility and providing some amazing homemade desserts for you.
Yep, that’s right. This Sunday, you can have dessert at 4pm and then eat your dinner later! Everyone who has not been to a newcomer’s dessert before is welcome to join us for this one.
Baptism Class Monday @ 6pm
Since Easter, we have had many people mark their cards that they are interested in learning what it takes to be a follower of Jesus and/or be baptized. This is the perfect class for that. We’ll meet in the “Green Room” at the LCC facility at 6pm to do a little Bible Study on the topic of baptism and following Jesus. You should definitely be there!
083-05 :: Great News Part 05 :: Resurrection
Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Did it really happen? Is it a legend thought up years after his death? Is it a hoax perpetrated by his closest followers?
Or is it possible that he really came back to life? Then, we need to ask, if he did, what difference should that fact make in our lives?
Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various
083-04 :: Great News Part 04 :: The Cross
The central Christian symbol is the Cross. Why? What’s so significant about the cross? Well, for the full answer, you need to hear next week’s message, but at the very least, we learn this week that the cross was always God’s plan for dealing with sin, even as far back as Adam and Eve. Suffering was always an integral part of what it meant for Jesus to be the Messiah.
Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various
083-03 :: Great News Part 03 :: Bad News
In order for good news to become great news, it needs to answer the problem of some bad news. Well, Jesus is trying to give us the best news in the world, and that means he has to also remind us of some of the worst news we’ll ever hear.
Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Various
083-02 :: Great News Part 02 :: Identity Crisis
Have you ever been confused about Jesus? Have you ever felt that God wanted you to be confused? You aren’t alone! I’m going to show you today why Jesus sometimes intentionally confuses people.
Speaker: Jeff Mikels :: Passage: Mark 3-5
