This coming Sunday we prayerfully anticipate another morning of vibrant Christian fellowship. Spirit-filled praise. Edifying, and sometimes humorous and/or tearful, conversations. And focused expository listening.
The believers that make up Lake Country Bible Church are full of Christian joy and hope. Our founding pastor worked hard to ensure that this fellowship was Word-centered; without losing our identity of also being a loving family of believers. Pastor Sal believed that the Lord's Church is to be known for its commitment to Christ-like love (John 13), absolute truth/sound doctrine (1 Tim. 3:15; Jude 3; Eph. 4:11-16), and "good deeds" (Heb. 10:24-25; Eph. 2:10). It's both/and rather than either/or.
During the 9 AM Sunday School hour our children/teens will be in stage of life focused classes. Our wonderful teachers will highlight biblical truth using Answers in Genesis material. One of our elders (Dave) will lead the adults in prayer and then continue his excellent series through Galatians.
At 10:15 AM the entire congregation will come together for our corporate worship service:
1) We will sing a number of praise songs and hymns (Col. 3:16; "Jesus Shall Reign;" "10,000 Reasons;" "His Mercy is More;" "Before the Throne of God Above;" and "By Faith.")
2) We will pray together (Acts 2:42) and 3) read the Word of God (1 Tim. 4:13).
4) We will come under the preached Word (2 Timothy 4:1-5; 1 Tim. 4:13; Col. 1:28; Eph. 4:11-16).
5) We will then be dismissed to enjoy more fellowship and Home Care Groups- (for some); (Heb. 10:24-25).
This Sunday we will take a step back from our in-depth, expository study on Revelation 21-22 and consider a related message on "The City of God and the Goal of Creation." This will be a macro consideration of the believer's future home. We will see how Hebrews 11 should be studied in tandem with Revelation 21-22. Our pray is that some of the guests who joined our ladies for our Annual Tea on Friday will come and hear about the glories of heaven on Sunday.
For all these reasons and more we ask the question- IS IT SUNDAY YET?
