Living Faith Community Presbyterian Church

Have you ever found yourself griping and complaining that things are just not fair?  Your boss overlooks your great ideas – your friends seem more consumed with their own issues instead of spending time with you – you keep working harder and harder each year but never seem to get ahead.  It’s just…not…fair!

Well, Jesus taught a type of equality that is beyond fair – at least beyond our human concept of justice and equality.  God’s equality is intended for ALL, not just those WE deem worthy.

Heather expands upon this idea in this message based upon Matthew 20:1-16.

Often, when we decide to follow Jesus we think our lives will be so much easier.  It’ll be smooth sailing ahead.  But it doesn’t work that way.  Often, life as a Christ follower can be MORE challenging, MORE difficult.  In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus explains that when we decide to follow Him, we must be prepared to pick up our crosses.  What does that mean?  What does that look like?

What serves as the foundation of your life?  Is it Christ – or has something else taken precedence?  In this message based on Matthew 16:13-20, Heather examines our response when Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?”

LFPC – Who do you say I am – 01. Track 01

Church bulletin Aug 21 2011

Have you ever said something and then immediately regretted it?  You wish you could press the rewind button and take your words back.  In this teaching from Matthew 15:10-20, Rev. Heather explains that there is a way to have “verbal freedom” so you never have to worry about offending anyone – or embarassing yourself – with words you regret.

In this message, Rev. Heather illustrates how Peter was able to use his “little faith” to do the impossible – walk on water.  Imagine what WE could do if we used our faith – even our little faith – for Jesus?
