Lifetree Community Church

This week we began a new series exploring one of the most famous stories in human history - the story of Noah and his ark and the great flood that covered the earth. It’s a story of love, kindness, and wisdom. It’s also a story about the judgment and wrath of God. For next few weeks going to dive into some hard truths about God and find where and how His goodness interacts with it by looking at on...

Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve been diving into a profound truth Jesus taught over 2,000 years ago. Every gate, leads to a road, and every road leads to an end, and those ends are already determined before you ever step foot on the road. Every road always leads to its end. You don’t get to pick where you want to end up only which road you will walk. This week we explored one final decision about the...

Whenever we encounter something we can’t fix, we find ourselves at a Gate - where does our strength come from? Will we choose the Wide Gate and fix it ourselves or will we recognize our weakness and turn to God for help?

Walking the Narrow Way: Part 5

Walking the Narrow Way: Part 4

The past few weeks we’ve been exploring something Jesus said that directly impacts the decisions we make each day. He said, “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.    But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." In this series, we’ve been l...

This week Kate Gutmann shared with us a message she felt God was putting on her heart for Lifetree. She shared that in our own way every single one of us are sent here to represent God whether that be in our families, places of work, community, or abroad. 

Walking the Narrow Way: Part 2

This week we kicked off a new series about following Jesus - Walking the Narrow Way. In this series, we’re going to explore the difference between the Wide and the Narrow Way. We will explore what makes the Narrow Way hard, why it is not commonly chosen, but most importantly, discover where it leads.

This week at Lifetree as we celebrated Easter, Pastor Dan shared about Jesus being our Good Shepherd and how just as sheep NEED a shepherd, we NEED the Good Shepherd.

Home: Part 2

This week, we wrapped up our series on A Great Mystery where we've been exploring our relationship with God through the analogy of marriage and how it impacts all our relationships. In the last message of this series, we looked at the ultimate end, the goal, of our relationship with God.

A Great Mystery: Part 4

This week as we continued our series on A Great Mystery, we examined the beginning of humanity’s story. In that story, a truth is found there that will impact every single relationship in your life including some that haven’t even formed yet.

Last week we learned that God loves us perfectly. This week we looked at what our response to God’s love looks like. How do we love God back?

This week, we began a new series called A Great Mystery. For the next few weeks we are going to explore the most powerful mystery of love and how being loved is the single greatest determining factor in the kind of life you live and the kind of relationships you have. The measure to which we accept and believe God really loves us is the measure to which we are able to love anybody else. 

Throughout January, we have been exploring the Greatest Commandment - to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. Together, these four elements help us understand what it means to be Wholeheartedly Devoted to God. This week we looked at the final one - STRENGTH.

Wholehearted Devotion: Part 3

This past October, as a staff we made time to ask God what this next year would hold for our church, and we sensed God revealing 2024 was going to be a Year of Wholehearted Devotion. It’s time to love God with ALL our heart, ALL our soul, ALL our mind, and ALL our strength. This week we looked at what it means to be wholeheartedly devoted with all our soul.

Seasons are a part of life, and they help us know where we’re coming from, where we presently are, and where we are headed towards. As we’re heading into a new season in time we asked God, “God, what are You saying today? Where are You leading us in this year?" So, drumroll please! In this new season of 2024, we believe God is bringing us into a year of Wholehearted Devotion.

Today, on the absolute final day of 2023 we are going to reflect on our theme for this past year - A Year of Awakening. This week's message is a little different. It's participatory. Either create a new note on your phone or get out a piece of paper and a pen. Feel free to pause this message to really take time to reflect on each of the questions asked. Also, pray and ask God for ability t...

The Morning Light: Awakened to God's Power

During December, we've been going through the Christmas story focusing on a different character every week. This Sunday, we focused on Joseph. He was a normal guy going about his normal life, and God used him in extraordinary ways, yet he didn’t do anything miraculous. God had a unique part for Joseph to play to make Himself known, and just like Joseph, you have a unique role in helping those...

This week we continued our Christmas series looking at Elizabeth's first encounter with Jesus. It wasn't in a fancy temple or on a significant day of the year. Jesus came to her when she was going about her day to day life, and He does the same for us now. You don’t have to be sitting in a certain position or in a church building. Jesus will come to you exactly where you are. The question...
