“When we store up resentment and hold on to the wrongs committed against us we hurt ourselves and those closest to us. Forgiveness is one of the major themes of Christianity, and if there was no forgiveness we wouldn’t be able to follow Jesus. Today, we’ll explore how we work through the sadness and scars that we accumulate so that we can begin to forgive like Jesus forgave.” Frank Spalding and th...

Saying, “I'm sorry," can be tough. It can be just as tough to say, “You’re forgiven.” Forgiving others might be one of the most challenging things we do, especially in light of the very real feelings of hurt and betrayal that we sometimes experience. But the fact is forgiven people forgive like Jesus forgave. So, how can the followers of Jesus do this very difficult task of extending for...

“There is a misconception that if couples will focus on their marriage or their family then all will be well. This is simply not the case. Humans were never intended to  be the centerpiece of marriage. That special place is set aside for God, and couples who focus on pleasing Him by accomplishing His mission through their marriage find themselves falling more and more in love with one another.” Fr...

"Our marriages should be appealing to those around us because our marriages are a snapshot of our relationship with Jesus. Not only that, Jesus modeled for believers the qualities necessary to live a Godly life and have an amazing marriage. If husbands and wives will begin imitating Jesus’ example of humility and selflessness our marriages will be healthier, and those around us will surely no...

“What would our marriages look like if they oozed the Good News of the Gospel? Would our marriages be more inspiring to other couples and more attractive example for our kids to have as they consider a spouse? All the pieces are there, because the Gospel is about Jesus taking broken people and restoring them, and every marriage is made up of broken people. The way we interact with our spouse can b...

“Having established that identity-change is the product of a transformed heart we will now begin to implement a practical strategy that will help us get 1% better at following Jesus every day. Habits, both good and bad, are not formed out of thin air. All of our habits are the result of recurring patterns of behavior that exist in our lives. Once you know the pattern you can use it to your advanta...

“As we attempt to get 1% better every day what we’ll probably find is change can be hard. Generally, our good intentions are thwarted and derailed by two factors. One, we don’t have a good system of improvement in place. And two, our changes are not connected to our preferred identity- the person we which to become. Today we’ll explore the fact that lasting change must be connected to our identity...

“Scores of people come into the New Year with updated goals and fresh motivation for improvement in the year to come. However, if you are like most people your fresh motivation and new goals vanish sometime before Valentines Day. If the followers of Jesus are going to effectively make disciples (who make disciples, who make disciples) they need to develop sustainable godly habits. In part one of t...

“People often get stamped with labels that can last a lifetime. Labels can honor us or discourage us. Jesus' family is full of people who’d been labeled in all kinds of ways. In this message we’ll see that God is eager and willing to include misfits in His story and change our existing labels.” Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking...

Jesus family full tree is of people who didn’t always make the best decisions and didn’t have the best pedigree. Luckily for us, God includes people like Ruth in His plan and in His family. Belonging to the family of God is not about how good we can be but how great Jesus is.  Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those seeking to know more about the...

  “If there’s anything that the Christmas season reminds us of it is family can be messy. Every family tree has a few misfits in it, and Jesus’ family tree is no different. His lineage is made up of all kinds of foolish, shady, half-baked, hard to love people. As we jump into the Christmas season it is important to remember that belonging to God’s family has never been about our merits or what we...

Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian Church welcomes all those se...

We are his ambassadors and the world will judge him by what it sees in us  Frank Spa...

Though you may be weary, worship God. Draw near to him and He will draw near to you. The Psalmist writes "All you saints, sing your hearts out to God. Thank him to his face. He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.” Psalm 30:4-5 MSG  Frank Spalding and the preaching team at Lincoln Hills Christian...

"Is it possible that if we are unsatisfied at what we feel like we are not getting out of worship here is a symptom of the worship we are not experiencing one on one with God every other day of the week? In this message, Worship Minister Ryan Lynton, will challenge you to elevate your worship throughout your week by finding a place, making the space, and going at a consistent pace.” Frank Spa...

Worship is about more than showing up to the church building for a couple of hours during the week, and singing a few of your favorite songs. Worship is a lifestyle that the followers of Jesus live on a daily basis from the inside out. In this three-part series we’ll explore how to worship in a way that God is actually glorified and His followers are transformed to look more like Him. Frank Spaldi...

Because of Jesus we have the hope of living again. Nothin...
