TODAY’S SERMON

Connecting and Reconnecting Others | Mike Palmer

As followers of Jesus we are able to share with one another the rewards and joys of our faith as well as its demands and sorrows. In doing so, we come to experience the love and comfort of belonging to a community of believers that is as concerned for us as we are for ourselves. Paul’s desire and plans to unite Timothy and Epaphroditus with the Philippian church remind us of the joy that can be experienced by all who are connected with a Christian community.

WE’RE CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INFLUENCE!

Join us in celebrating what God has done!

Over the past 35 years, LifePoint Church has influenced countless people to find and follow Jesus. From our very beginning in 1987, we’ve desired to be a church that spreads God’s love to the world. Since then, we’ve seen thousands of stories written –  thousands of lives transformed by the message of grace. And you have been part of that – thank you!

Expanding Our Influence

As we look back and celebrate the way God has used our influence over the past 35 years, we also look forward, asking Him to multiply our influence into the future. During the month of October, we are looking to expand our influence as a church family. We’ll be inviting each person to commit to one or more small, simple ways to do that – PRAY for our church, INVITE someone to come with you, GIVE financially, or VOLUNTEER to serve. We’ll also continue to share incredible stories of the ways God has been using people to share the message of grace and hope.
