Reconnecting with our Heavenly Father: Gospel’s #1 Message

a bigger story featured

Reconnecting with a distant friend or relative is a great moment.

In a world where comfort and convenience often take precedence, it’s easy to believe that we’ve got it all figured out. We establish our own little bubbles, our own country clubs of life, and feel secure within them. But God’s vision extends far beyond our limited perspective. He reminds us that we are part of His grand design, a design much greater than our own plans.

This divine plan centers around a perfect community known as the church. As we’ve often discussed, the church is integral to God’s secret plan to bring all things together through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:9-10). The church isn’t just a place for Sunday morning gatherings; it’s a vessel for God’s wisdom and truth, meant to be shared boldly every day.

Lakeview Christian Church embodies this mission with its guiding principles: Study, Share, and Serve. These principles aren’t just slogans but a way of life modeled after Jesus. By studying the Word, sharing our faith, and serving others, we strive to be like Christ in all we do.

The most crucial message of the Gospel is that through Jesus, we are reconnecting with the Father. This reconnection is at the heart of our faith. Jesus is the savior we need, not necessarily the one we always want. He meets our deepest needs and bridges the gap between humanity and God, a feat no one else could accomplish.

As followers of Christ, we’re called to not be silent but to let our voices ring out. Scripture encourages us to speak boldly about our faith. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we’re reminded, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” This boldness isn’t just for the people around us to hear but even the angels in heaven take notice of our proclamation.

The beauty of God’s plan is that He takes our brokenness, our fragmented beliefs, and unites us through His Word. Through this unity, God achieves amazing things. Each of us, despite our flaws and differences, becomes part of a grand narrative that speaks of redemption, love, and transformation. This unity is a form of reconnecting us to God’s original design and purpose for humanity.

At Lakeview Christian Church, we believe in this transformative power of the Gospel. Our commitment to Study, Share, and Serve reflects our dedication to living out God’s plan. By immersing ourselves in Scripture, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, and serving our community, we aspire to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world. This dedication is all about reconnecting with the Father and helping others do the same.
