God established laws and boundaries for our benefit... Within the boundaries God sets, we also find His grace.

There are many benefits to reading the Bible. In the Bible, God says, "Ask for wisdom and I will give it liberally." Are you seeking the wisdom?

There are many things that can enslave us. If you've been dealing with something for years and decades, that is a bondage! Jesus came to set you free from every type of bondage.

Obedience to the Lord should not be viewed as a religious duty or exercise Obedience to the Lord should be understood that it is a result of our relationship with Him. His boundaries and instruction are for our benefit and demonstrate we have an authentic relationship with Him.

Relationships are built on trust... Our trust in God is demonstrated through our obedience to Him... Can God trust you to obey Him?

Obedience  to the Lord is vital to the ministry we have been called to.

We've been given the privilege and opportunity  to teach and minister in India 3 times…

We get to be a part of this TRANSFORMATION  God  is doing in our live and the lives of others!

There are several important things we participate in as followers of christ. We take communion together. 

As Pastor Christine taught last week, water baptism is the outward demonstration of our inward commitment and heart change when we invite Jesus into our life. 

Another important element is spending time together in community and developing healthy relationships. 

Today, we will have water baptisms and fellowship time.

Water Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision. It says, "I have decided to follow JESUS." It means, 'I am being transformed'.

We see the difference between leaves disconnected for a short time and leaves that remain connected... Apart from God, our spiritual lives are lifeless... No fruit... Our physical lives are lacking too... Being connected to God we are restored to life. Jesus came to restore us back to God and : Will we live for all eternity with God or separated from Him.

God created us to be in an eternal relationship with Him. 

We are spiritual beings encased in a physical body. 

One day the physical shell will die, yet our spirit will live for eternity.

The question is:  Will we live for all eternity with God or be separated for all eternity from Him?

Adam and Eve’s disobedience tainted the spiritual DNA of all humanity It is not our fault, however, it is our problem But as one man, Adam, brought sin and death to all; one man, JESUS, brought righteousness and life to all who receive…

Understanding that we need spiritual transformation is only the beginning This morning we will look at what some of the results of this transformation are...

I believe the Lord is birthing a new thing. This series transformed... Will be important for our preparation as we move forward into the transitions on the horizon. Are you ready? Now is our time to get prepared...

Come join us at the Kemah Boardwalk for our Resurrection Celebration! We will be located by the Landry's Seafood restaurant. Hope to see you there!

Our Heavenly Father desires a relationship with us. We have the great opportunity to share the hope and love of Christ that we have found. Next Sunday Morning is a wonderful opportunity for us to demonstrate that at the Sunrise service at the Kemah Boardwalk... At LifeFellowship, our desire is to help people: Break free from strongholds, experience God's love for them and live the wonderful life God designed all of us to live.

We've been learning about: being made new. Our spiritual life impacts our physical life and our physical life impacts our spiritual life. although we are spirit beings, we currently live in a physical world. Today, we'll continue to drill down into being made new spiritually: which has a tremendous impact on our physical life!

A conversation was held between two men late one dark night. One man was steeped in knowledge that had been handed down for generations. He was highly respected in his community for his understanding and teaching of the laws and his knowledge of the cultural climate of his community. His clothing alone spoke of his status. The other man was less arrayed, clean but simple. He was looked upon by many as being a rebel; one who broke the rules that had long held the community in control. These two men faced each other. One man held a calm, steady demeanor; the other was cautious and guarded. It was in this conversation that such depth of knowledge and understanding that was spoken is still being looked upon and considered even today. It was in this conversation that the words spoken changed everything. The words were "You must be born again."

In our culture, items that do not function as we expect are considered to have no value and are discarded. However, God sees our disfunction and yet He still considers us to be of great value. We are not discarded. We are made new!

Last week we wrapped up the series Spiritual Warfare: Exploring what spiritual warfare is.... And how we become the over comers that God designed us to be. This morning we'll begin a new series: Made New Receiving Christ and yielding to the Lord is the beginning to experiencing a victorious/ transformed life.

We've been exploring what spiritual warfare is, the armor God has provided for us, how to defeat the enemy, and be the over comers that God designed us to be. It's one thing to know what the spiritual weapons are... It's quite another to use them as designed.
