This Week | March 14 – 20, 2025
March 16 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 13:8-10, Part 51: The Only Good Debt – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis: There is no good debt according to the Bible, except for one: the debt of love. We are to owe no one anything, except to love one another. In the book of Romans, it is crystal clear the prominence of love and this section echoes Jesus’ words on the most important commandment which is to love God and love your neighbor. Love is the fulfillment of the law. This would be radical to hear back then as there were over 600 laws in the Old Testament. Yet, the Lord is clear that the whole point of the law is to show and help us to love God and love others.
Fighter Verse: Romans 13:10 – Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

What’s Happening?
FRIDAY FUN NIGHT – 3/28
College Basketball takes over in March…so we’re rolling with it! Friday, March 28th, we’ll be over at Lakes West from 6:30-9pm. We’ll have a night of games and challenges.

FAMILY SERVICE – 3/30
5th Sunday at The Lakes means Family Service! There will be no Lakes Children program for Elementary Age (1st-5th grade) this Sunday. We invite children in this age group to worship together with their families this Sunday! Early childhood (ages Birth-Kindergarten) still available during both the 9:30am and 11:15am services upstairs.
WE’RE GROWING!
The Lakes Children’s Ministry continues to grow, which we are so excited about! In response to the needs of our young families in particular, we are adding a part-time position (see job description here) that will be solely focused on the Birth to Kindergarten age group of the church. Our ask? Be praying about who God would bring to fill this position (maybe you!). Share the news with someone who God might be laying on your heart. And, if they’re interested, have them send in a resume!
Direct any questions and resumes to our Children’s Director Trevor Geiser at trevor.geiser@thelakescc.org.
