sunday june 28

 

Hello FPCL Family!

 

This Sunday, we continue our series on The Sweet Life using Lifesavers as a way into the good and true and beautiful things God intends for us to share in community! We will be looking at the ways Jesus saves us from one kind of life and makes another kind of life possible, individually, and in our lives together. As you prepare for worship, consider these questions:

 

• From what things do our country, our community, and we ourselves need to be saved?
• What would salvation look like at each of those levels?

 

Looking forward to worshiping with you on Sunday!

 

With much love, Denia

Join us after worship this Sunday in Fellowship Hall

as we assemble teacher blessing bags for the

middle school teachers in our community.

Our goal is to assemble 100 bags, so stop by and

help us assemble as many as you can.

Sermon Series: The Sweet Life!
Sermon Title: Jesus is a Life Saver!

 

Scripture:

Matthew 14:22-33

Immediately [after feeding the 5000], Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side of the lake while he dismissed the crowds. When he sent them away, he went up onto a mountain by himself to pray. Evening came and he was alone.
Meanwhile, the boat, fighting a strong headwind, was being battered by the waves and was already far away from land. Very early in the morning he came to his disciples, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified and said, “It’s a ghost!” They were so frightened they screamed. Just then Jesus spoke to them, “Be encouraged! It’s me. Don’t be afraid.”
Peter replied, “Lord, if it’s you, order me to come to you on the water.” And Jesus said, “Come.” Then Peter got out of the boat and was walking on the water toward Jesus. But when Peter saw the strong wind, he became frightened. As he began to sink, he shouted, “Lord, save me!”
Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him, saying, “You of weak faith! Why did you begin to have doubts?” When they got into the boat, the wind settled down. Then those in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “You truly must be God’s Son!”

Psalm 25:4-12

Make your ways known to me,
LORD; teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth—teach it to me—
because you are the God who saves me.
I put my hope in you all day long.
6 LORD, remember your compassion
and faithful love— they are forever!
7 But don’t remember the sins of my youth
or my wrongdoing. Remember me only according
to your faithful love for the sake of your goodness, LORD.
8 The LORD is good and does the right thing,
teaching sinners which way they should go.
9 God guides the weak to justice, teaching them the way.
10 All the LORD’S paths are loving and faithful
for those who keep the covenant and laws.
11 Please, for the sake of your good name, LORD,
forgive my sins, which are many!
12 Where are the ones who honor the LORD?
God will teach them which path to take.
