Lifetree Community Church

We are starting something new! Every Friday, we will be posting sermon seeds, a little sneak peek into what this week's sermon will be about.

Today's Weekly Tree is brought to you by Diane Laws who is a missionary to Micronesia with a passion for the next generation.

Matthew 7:24-27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and flo...

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my...

"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you...

John 5:1-15

"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment.” Romans 5:3-5

This week we are praying for peace in all types of relationships.

The Heart of God is always for people - never for things. God didn’t burden Nehemiah so that the walls would be restored. God burdened Nehemiah so that the people could be restored.

This week we are learning how to pray through resistance.

Nehemiah shows us how to rise above - 3 simple, totally doable things. Listen in!

This week we are taking time to pray for the burdens that we carry and the burdens others carry.

Compassion Fatigue Unrelieved burdens are like swimming in the ocean with an anchor tied to your feet We’re destined to drown because we can’t carry that kind of weight. It also doesn’t mean we weren’t meant to BE burdened. We just don’t always know what to do with them. Nehemiah gives us critical insight into what we do with burdens.

This week we are going back to the basics of High Five prayer.

After 98 days of not meeting together in-person, we were able to have our first outdoor in-person service!

We are continuing our Month of Mercy with a conversation with Pastor Kahlil Carmichael who is the pastor at Live Well Church in Robbinsville.

Kicking off a Month of Mercy with Bob McGurty, President of Calcutta Mercy https://www.calcuttamercy.org/

The Best is Yet to Come matters because what you BELIEVE about tomorrow determines your EXPERIENCE today.

This week we are praying for God to search our hearts. Psalm 139

Matthew 7:15-20 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree...

This week we're praying about Hope.

"Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other." - Romans 12:4

We are continuing our High Five Series with praying for trust. Psalm 121 says: I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The...

The Church is ALL the PEOPLE who make the complete person of CHRIST KNOWN to the WORLD.

The value of People are Primary is all about LOVE. Real Love is UNCONDITIONAL, SACRIFICIAL, and FORGIVING.
