Marriage Ministry

Marriage Moment

One pitfall in marriage that can prevent you from the closeness, respect and understanding you need is called “stonewalling” and it’s where you may shut down and pull away. Your spouse may hear, “I don’t care about your thoughts or feelings”, so instead try saying, ”I don’t know what to say to make this better, I’m afraid if I keep talking I will.” These little moves may improve harmony in your relationship.

1 Corinthians 1:10 “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.”

Mission Ministry

Mission Celebration Dinner

Missions Celebration Dinner – Sunday February 23rd at 5:30 PM

The Mission Committee invites you to join us for dinner and to hear updates on the Missionaries that Lake Bible supports.

Sign up sheets are in the narthex.

Evangelism

Jesus’s parting words to his disciples were to, “Go and make disciples of all nations…” The first step for someone to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, is for them to hear about Jesus: Who he is, what he has done, and what difference believing in him can make in that person’s life. If sharing the Gospel is so important, why is it so difficult?

We often fear failure and rejection. We fear that if we share Christ and they do not come to Christ, we have failed. Jesus assures our hearts by telling us that, “All those the Father has given me, will come to me…” We can be comforted that it is our LORD alone who saves. Our joy is found in obeying His call to share, the results are up to him.

We understand that some may aim their rejection at the messenger as well as the message, therefore making the feeling of rejection personal. To share Christ is a risk indeed, but to be rejected for sharing Christ gives us an opportunity to share in our LORD’s suffering. They rejected him long before they ever rejected you.

Jesus understands our fear, but in keeping with the theme of our mission celebration month Let us Fear Not and Follow Jesus by sharing Him with others.

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you…

Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”

1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4
“We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20
