Sermon - David Fielding
Jesus: The Reason Why We Run
Hebrews 12:1-4
Word From the Preacher
In the race of our faith, the strength to endure is essential. We draw it from those who have run before us, we draw it when we accept the course that has been chosen for us, and we draw it most of all when we fix our eyes on the One who has run the race perfectly so we can finish victoriously.

Marriage Moment
Sometimes creating a healthy marriage means that you have to UN-learn the unhealthy patterns you inherited from your family over and over. “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one — as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” John 17:21

Ministry Spotlight
Vacation Bible School is coming!
July 15th – July 19th
For ages 4 years through 6th grade. Daily from 8:45 to 12:30
Grab your binoculars and don your life vest! We are on a cruise through the jungle.
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions:
- Did GOD really create everything?
- Why do bad things happen?
- Was Noah’s ark real?
- Why do I need to be saved?
- Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure through Genesis to Revelation. Amid Tree Frogs, Monkeys, Otters, and Electric Eels your children will sail along a jungle cruise, stopping to learn a new Bible truth each day. From Gods creation of man to His plan for salvation through his son Jesus Christ.
Registration is $35.00 per child, register in the church lobby. Invite your friends and neighbors to come join us.
What a privilege Lake Bible has to share the gospel with so many children each year. Seeds of God’s truth are planted in the hearts of children and many come to know Jesus as their Savior.
Come be a part of this amazing ministry. We need volunteers to make this happen. Sign up at the VBS counter.
