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

Grief is something that all of us will face during our life, but the
understanding that God wants to be with us through our grief and confusion and anger can give us hope that we do not have to face it alone. The ways that God can make Himself known to us in our hearts and through other people can be amazing.

Do you have a testimony of when you went through a difficult time and God really met you where you were at? Your story could really minister to the hearts of people who are also dealing with grief and sorrow. Click on the link below and tell others your story of how God allowed you to see Him work through your darkest times.

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

This past weekend, Pastor Jeff and I shared about "What I really want from church." It was our desire to not only share the vision of LBF, but also to partner with you by encouraging all of us to not just do church. We look forward to growing in God working in us and God working through us.

How would you answer the question, "What do I really want from church?" Please take some time to share with us on the blog.

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

So, as we talked about wisdom this week, I hope that you were able to reflect into your own heart and allow God to reveal to you an area (or two or three) that He would like to impart wisdom. Biblical wisdom, which is wisdom that glorifies God above what satisfies us, can bring us into a much deeper walk with our heavenly father. The book of Proverbs is a great tool to give us practical advice for decisions and situations that each of us face, yet we must be careful not to misinterpret or misapply the proverbs to make them
something that they are not (i.e. promises).

Do you have a Proverb that has been important in your life, that has helped you in your decision making? Please feel free to share it with us by clicking the link below and telling us how the verse has impacted you and helped in your daily life.
