We have been using this cool thing at LifePoint recently during our Sunday morning services.  It’s called, YouVersion and if you have an iPhone or Blackberry you can use it for free.  Bunches of people have asked me about it so here’s a little video tutorial on how to make it work.

Cheers,

Phil

What does it mean to THINK like Jesus?  What does it mean when we ACT like Him?  What would change about our world if we could SEE people the way He saw them and how would our lives change if we actually LOVED others they way Jesus loved others?

We started a short series on SERVING at LifePoint this last Sunday.  It’s so important for us to remember that our role as believers is to become servants.  We look to Christ as the ultimate model of this lifestyle.

To listen to the message or DOWNLOAD:

Have you ever doubted your faith?  If you’re human then you probably have at one time or another.  The question is – what do you do when engaged in a “faith crisis?”  It is wrong to wonder about Christianity, the church, and Jesus Christ?

In the book of Luke, John the Baptist had some questions about whether Christ was the messiah as he claimed.  Find out what Christ’s answer to John means to us today.

What happens when we decide to “get off the bench” spiritually and physically and dive into God’s work for the purpose of building his kingdom?  I love this passage in Mark (4:26-29) because it really emphasizes the fact that the Kingdom of God is built by God alone – but He still uses us.  Even if we’re not sure exactly how we can be used.

Take a listen to this sermon from last Sunday’s service at LifePoint:

At LifePoint we believe with all of our being that building God’s kingdom is about building the big C church – helping other churches develop and grow and doing whatever we can to support and encourage local congregations that might need a hand.  Why do we do this?  Simple – because other churches have done this for us.  Specifically, Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Lake Mary) and Real Life Christian Church (Clermont).  The leadership from both of these congregations has poured into us encouragement and allowed us to use their facilities to help us get established and grow.  We are excited to do the same for local churches as well.

This Sunday evening I’m going to be speaking at Orlando North Community Church (www.orlandonorth.com).  Orlando North is a growing group of believers in the area.  Currently they are holding services at Strang Communications but in the fall we are planning to allow them to use our 2,500 sq foot facility known as “The Loft.”  We know that this move will help them save some money, do some great ministry in the area, and grow to a point where they can grab a facility that will enable them to help other churches as well.

Last week, Orlando North’s lead pastor, Rob Duford (http://duford.wordpress.com) spoke at LifePoint and did a tremendous job – he even had props!  He’s a gifted communicator and speaks a conferences and has even written a book.

As always, please pray for the churches (little c’s) in Lake Mary – that we can continue to work together to building God’s Kingdom.

p.s. by the way – if you would like to come and join me at Orlando North on Sunday evening – they meet at Strang Communications (600 Rinehart Rd. Lake Mary) at 6:00pm.

We had a great Easter service this last Sunday.  We celebrated with a record attendance of 350, had 6 decisions to follow Christ, and welcome many new families to the church.  It was truly awesome!

If you didn’t get a chance to join us – you can hear the message here:

This last week we concluded week 2 of our ongoing study of the book of Hebrews.  I hope you enjoy it!

Today I preached a message at LifePoint on the Biblical characters of Judah & Tamar (Genesis 38). Though the message was longer than I hoped (44 mins) I was very pleased with how it turned out.  The image that you see above this post is a slide that I used during the beginning of the message to inform families that the content of the message contained some adult themes.  Take a listen and let me know what you think:

Here’s an encouraging message for parents based on a short study on the mother of Moses: Jochebed. Most people don’t even know that Moses’s mother even had a name – but believe me, she’s mentioned in the Bible!  Anyway, for anyone who’s looking for some encouragement when it comes to raising children check out this message.
