Lifetree Community Church

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...

Since the beginning of time, God has been telling us His plans. The hard part is not figuring out what God is doing; it is believing it. God has told us He hears our prayers, but do you believe it? Are there prayers you have stopped praying? Maybe this Christmas season, it's time to start them up again. God is doing more than we think, and the first step is believing what He says He is doing.

They Knew The Times: Christ the Transformer of Culture

The past few weeks we’ve been talking about culture. Culture is what we make of the world. Sometimes as we walk through life and encounter elements of culture, even though we know what is good and right, we just don’t want to do it. We want to experience that part of culture. This week we looked at three stories of people who did just that. While looking at these stories, we see the Paradox of Cul...

This week we continued our series called Thew Knew the Times. While looking at Daniel’s story we see how God chooses to use his people within culture rather than in opposition to it. Sometimes we wonder if the skills we have are any good to God. However, the truth is that God takes your abilities and makes you extraordinarily useful within culture.

They Knew The Times

This week, we are celebrating 13 years of Lifetree Community Church! Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about what we do as the church. This week we flipped the question to ask "What is He doing?"

The past few weeks, we've been examining what we are doing as a church. God has created this thing we call the church and has put the map of life inside each of us, but none of us have a complete map. God has broken it up into pieces and given us each a part. Our job, and the THIRD thing we are supposed to do, is collaborate and share the different parts of the map that is in us. As we do that...

Last week, we kicked off a new series called "What Are We Doing?" where we are re-examining our purpose as a church. While churches do a lot of things, there are three things that stand out as core purposes of our church, and they're found right in our name. This week we looked at the second thing we are here to do. God has called us to be COMMUNITY BUILDERS.

In a few weeks, we will celebrate 13 years of Lifetree Community Church. A lot has happened since October 10, 2010, and over time, it can be easy to forget what we are dong here. So, as we get ready to celebrate our 13th birthday, it's time to remind ourselves What Are We Doing here. Over next few weeks, going to re-discover, to re-awaken, or maybe for you for the first time, to hear why we ar...

This week at Lifetree we had our Kids Takeover Sunday where our Treehouse Kids and ROOTED Youth hosted the service, led us in worship, and shared a message that God has put on their heart. We wrapped up our series on Wisdom From Above by focusing on the last attribute found in James 3: the Wisdom from Above is Always Sincere.

Wisdom From Above: Shows No Favoritism

Wisdom from Above: Full of Mercy & Fruit

Wisdom from Above: Willing to Yield

This week during our series Wisdom from Above, we explored the next quality of God’s Wisdom - being Gentle At All Times. While some might think being gentle is being quiet, soft, or easy, in the Bible we see time and time again that GENTLENESS is the key to POWER.
