This Week | January 26 – February 1, 2024

January 28 | Romans – Part 3, Romans 1:16-17  Grasping The Gospel – Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: One thing we have to get right is the gospel of Jesus. It is foundational to our faith. If this gets messed up, everything else does as well. The word gospel literally means good news. It is not something I do but it is some that God has done through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. In a world filled with bad news, this is the best news. Here at The Lakes, we are not ashamed of the gospel or anything in the Bible. It is not an outdated book. It is living and active. We unashamedly and unapologetically stand by what the Lord has spoken. It’s our north star. It does not change and it is true. This morning we are looking at a passage that has changed the course of history. When we really understand the gospel, it changes everything.

Fighter Verse: Romans 1:16-17 – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

What’s Happening?

HOW TO SHARE YOUR FAITH WORKSHOP | JAN 27

Join us for a How to Share Your Faith Workshop led by Pastor Mark. Many followers of Jesus today think that they don’t know enough to share their faith. They think that they won’t be able to answer people’s questions or don’t know enough of the Bible. These are lies. This will be a great class to encourage, equip, and empower you to confidently share your faith with others.

Large Group Room (219) on Second Floor | 9:30am

WOMEN’S PRAYER MEETING | FEB 3
Join our Lakes Women on the first Saturday of each month on the 2nd floor, as we come together for a powerful time in praise, prayer and intercession as we seek God’s heart. Come and be a part of what God is doing through prayer!
“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will hear you.” Jeremiah 29:12
GRIEFSHARE | FEB 3
GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
This 13-week session will meet weekly on Saturday beginning Feb 3.
