He is risen! And though everyone who has ever been new by Him knows that is the most incredible thing ever, what if there is still more?!? What if not only does He make us new, but He gives the most easy yet profound way to enter into the fullness of the life that He has for us?! This one is a total download from Him, on the day where we celebrate …

This is my last sermon where it is just us, our Lake Samm Fam. Next week, will be my last sermon, but that’s Easter and it will be all about Jesus. So this week, I want to say as proper goodbye as possible given that we can’t hug. Nuff said, if I keep writing my tears will drip onto my laptop and blow up on me. At least it would be less painful tha…

Our world is turned upside down & counting the days until we can get back to normal, but maybe God has something else in mind ….Julie Jenkins による

If you have the wrong ideas about God, you end up doing the wrong things even if your heart is right. But it's also totally possible to have good theology and still get it wrong. Why? We haven't let our thinking transform our doing and our feeling. This Sunday, we're talking about how to make what we believe, what we do, and how we feel all match, …

What is Lake Samm supposed to be…next? His leading appears clear. More the opportunity is absolutely the most exciting and engaging I’ve ever seen. He has us perfectly poised to make an enormous difference. Come experience the Spirit, as He reveals our future!Curt Brunk による

How can we discern if we are truly growing to be more like Jesus? Are there parts of us that are fully defined by personality and are not in need of transformation by God? Doesn’t God love us just as we are? This week Josh Morris is reflecting on Psalm 139 and sharing what God has been doing in his journey as a task-focused, introverted, and peace-…

The next step in our pastoral transition is to ask the Lord one simple question: are we supposed to ask Foursquare to consider Josh and Justine as the next pastors of Lake Samm? As most of you know by now, we do not vote on a new pastor. Instead, following the Biblical pattern our new Pastor will be appointed by Foursquare’s District Head, Dave Vea…

Big news. You are going to want to be at Lake Samm, in person, this Sunday. God continues to move in huge, incredible ways. See you there!Curt Brunk による

This Sunday we are in 1 Samuel as we continue our journey through the Old Testament and also our journey to becoming the people and church God wants for the season ahead.…

Last week, in a very important sermon, the Lords showed us exactly where we are in the Zeitgeist Transition – rejection by the new generation, that is being joined by the ones that have gone before, but with no understanding yet of what His new synthesis will be. (Listen to last week’s sermon to understand that.) But that doesn’t mean He hasn’t giv…

The Lord is strongly setting our course for this next season! By His continual leading, there is absolutely dead true straight line from Kevin’s sermon on identity, to Justine’s on citizenship and its rights and responsibilities, to what God is having me do on the next two Sundays. And this is as important to our walks and thereby the future of Chr…

What does it mean to be part of God’s family? What does it practically mean to be part of the Body of Christ? What does it mean to be part of a local church? This Sunday we’re exploring Yahweh’s call to us to be active and engaged members of His Kingdom.Justine Morris による

We find so many ways we find our identity (introvert/extrovert, politically left/right, enneagram number, our profession, etc). What if it turns out those things are a mere shadow of who you actually are? What does it mean to find our identities as followers of Jesus.Kevin Perales による

The greatest act of God’s love is undoubtedly the cross. But what if there was a close second, which might even be, in His eyes and heart, equally as great? Come experience the love of Christmas in a whole new way. Let it really sink down deep in you, and this service will surely become His incredibly impactful gift to you this glorious season!…

God has been taking us on an incredible journey! He has dramatically deepened our understanding of what a Christian life is supposed to look like by showing us it’s foundations in the Old Testament. And now, he puts a finishing touch on what’s He’s been doing with a story that seems, well, out of place. Ruth. But in fact, it is the most perfect bow…

We're so excited to celebrate the gift of Jesus this Christmas season. Join us this Sunday as we look at the account of Jesus' adopted dad, Joseph, and what we can learn about hearing God and knowing how to respond.Greg Thacher による

The Lord has had us looking at the Old Testament to get a much deeper understanding of the walk the God has for us in our New Testament times. This Sunday He will take us a much deeper into how to actually and truly hear his Spirit. And in a way that will greatly help us to actually follow/obey Him. I can’t wait for us to experience this!!!…

Last week Justine, as led by the Lord, revealed how critical it is that confession be a regular part of our lives. This week God takes everything yet another step forward by showing us the fullness of the Spirit in an extraordinary way! Yet again, in just the 7th book of the Bible the Lord is showing us precisely what we need and why! Though we’re …

This week we’re having real talk about sin and the incredible gift of God’s forgiveness. We’re heading into the book of Judges as we continue to journey through the Old Testament and discover more about Yahweh’s amazing Love.Justine Morris による

God started something a few months ago about us loving him regardless of anything he may or may not do. Then he took us into obedience because there is no way that we can know everything that he has in his mind and heart and so we need to just follow whatever he is saying. This week God brings it all to an amazing culmination in showing us how to l…

Have you ever thought about whether God has a plan for you, and if so, how do you do it? And what happens when you fail? Are you stuck living God's backup plan for your life, or can you get back to the life he originally had for you? This Sunday we're looking at the Shema, which the most quoted verse in the Old Testament for the Hebrew people, and …
