This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching/Youth
As we have looked at the Old Testament over the past 32 weeks, we have seen time and time again, evidence of God's plan and presence in people's lives. What are some of the things that you have experienced in your own life that have confirmed God's presence and His plan for your life? My prayer is that each of us would allow God to guide us through the journey of our life and continue each day to seek His will and guidance through every situation.

This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching/Worship

We've been on this Old Testament Journey for the better part of a year, only one week left and what a powerful journey it has been.

This weekend were learned from Jeremiah how to live with the assignments God gives us. I stated in the message that I believe that all followers of Christ have assignments given to them by God.  These assignments are as varied as people are.

Let me ask you to reflect on this issue of God's assignment for your life. If you know your assignment, did the life of Jeremiah give you encouragement to hang in there? If you have quit your assignment would you spend some time in prayer asking God for his guidance to get you back in the game? If you have never known what your assignment might be would you pray and ask God to reveal his assignment for you? If you're moving too fast, take some time to slow down and rebuild that relationship of closeness with the one who gave you the assignment.

God Bless and be sure to take some time to write your thoughts and reflections on the BLOG. Just click on the link below.

This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching/Worship

What is good and what does the Lord require?

This weekend we looked at the prophet Micah as he answers that question with three things: Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

I know that as I was preparing for this message, a friend invited me down to a place called Tent City in Ontario. My heart was touched by seeing people whom God loves with such great needs. Miriam and I have plans to join others from LBF on Thanksgiving Day down at Tent City to help those in need get a good meal on a day in which we all give thanks for God's provision.

The study of the prophets is making a difference in my life. I'm asking God to tune me into to how I can act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. I want God's word to make a difference in the way I live. I know you do as well. If God has placed something on your heart about these three things, I'd love to hear about it.

This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching/Youth

The more I reflect on the topic of fear vs. faith that we talked about this weekend, the more I recall all of the times in my life that it was so easy to go into panic mode. I have to wonder, what are some things that can be done to help us stand firm in our faith during times of great fear or overwhelming situations? What are some things that you have done to allow God to remind you of His presence and faithfulness? I ask you to share these things because your experiences and insights could really help others who may be struggling with fear or panic right now in their life.
