This Week | July 26 – August 1, 2024

July 28 | Summer at The Lakes: Dare to be a Daniel – Pastor Doug Schmidt

Synopsis: Today is Youth Sunday. It is a time to highlight and invest in the next generation. Our message will be from the book of Daniel. It is so relevant to our youth, and really all people, because of the cultural pressures that we currently live in. We see in Daneil a faithful young man who did not bow to the temptations around him. To be a Daniel and take a stand in a hostile world, one must make some commitments. First, we have to allow the Word of God to shape our character. Second, we have to remain true to God no matter the consequences or how high the cost. Lastly, we must also realize that when we honor God, He will honor us.

Fighter Verse: Daniel 5:21 – “The most high God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men.

Core Ministries – Weekly Update

So many of us focus on success as an outcome of our lives – work, families, projects, and more. Our children are made in the same mold – sports, friends, grades.

What would all of our lives look like if we strived towards faithfulness to God in everything – success or difficulty?
