Tough Quetions

The last 2 weeks we have tackled some tough questions. This current series, Frequently Asked Questions, has taken some of the most common issues and questions and answered them according to what God's word says. To say it's been uncomfortable is probably an understatement. We have talked about suicide, homosexuality, cohabitation, tatoos, gambling and more. I say it's uncomfortable because we usually find that some of our beliefs about certain topics are off when we really look at what scripture says about it.

It's easy to allow our own opinions and what the world around us says is right and wrong shape us. In reality, God's word is perfect and we must spend time searching his heart and word about our questions.

Don't forget we have one more week of FAQ coming this Sunday! I hope this series is stretching, encouraging and equipping you to understand better some of the more important topics and questions we all have.

Sunday Reflections

- Yesterday was a different presentation of the Gospel as we covered a lot of ground, but it was very powerful and relevant. It was a great start to our new series FAQ.


- LifeKIDS volunteers are amazing! Thank you to each of you who are serving and giving your time and energy to these children.

- The worship team did a great job as always. Check out this new song the band is working on. Go ahead and learn it so you are ready to belt it out in a few weeks when we sing it.

- In 2 weeks, Sunday April 25th, we will hold the adult worship experience at the Franklin High School Fine Arts Building. LifeKIDS will still meet at The Factory and then adults can make the 5 minutes ride to the FHS's Fine Arts Building.

Sunday Reflections - Easter

Yesterday was an amazing day of celebration. Celebration of the life we find in Christ Jesus. A celebration of those that have committed their lives to Christ and displayed it through baptism. Yesterday was a huge celebration...a party.

Here's a few thoughts from yesterday:

- Hearing the stories of life change through Jesus never gets old. We baptized 9 people yesterday. It was awesome!

- The worship team did an amazing job leading us into a time of worshiping our risen Savior.

- Yesterday was our largest attendance to date with 600 in attendance. This has and will continue to be our heart at Life Church. We want to reach as many people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ as possible. We have 1,500 seats available at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts...yesterday we were half way there!

- Our volunteer team did an amazing job yesterday. So many people serving and giving. it was awesome!

Who are you going to invite?

I saw a statistic that people are 85% likely to say yes when invited to an Easter Sunday church service. So, I think you know where I am going...who are you going to invite? We are just days away from the foundational celebration of what it means to follow Jesus Christ. Our Savior and the Savior of the world is alive and death has been defeated!

This Sunday could be the changing point for someone you know if you invite them to church. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached and God will move through His Spirit this Sunday. Get your friends and family to LCF this Sunday. Let them and the world know Jesus is alive and the enemy has been defeated!

See you Sunday!
