At Lakeview Christian Church, we focus on building a relationship with Jesus rather than adhering to religious rituals. Our mission is to “Be the Change” by fostering genuine connections with Christ and others. The sermon emphasizes Jesus’ mission to call sinners to repentance, highlighting the importance of relationship over religion (Luke 5:31-32). Jesus consistently challenged the religious leaders of His time, reminding them that His mission was about love and relationship, not rules and regulations.
Study: Cultivating a Relationship with Jesus
Studying the Bible is essential for cultivating a relationship with Jesus. Through scripture, we learn about His character, His teachings, and His love for us (John 15:5). Join a Bible study group at Lakeview to explore the depths of Jesus’ teachings and grow closer to Him. As we study, we develop a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus and live out our faith in everyday life.
Share: Building Relationships with Others
Sharing our faith is about building relationships, not just imparting information. As we share Jesus’ love, we create connections that reflect His relational nature. Engage in community events or church activities that foster relationship-building. Invite others into your life and share the love of Christ through genuine friendship. At Lakeview, we believe that building relationships is a key component of our mission to be the change in our community.
Serve: Reflecting Jesus’ Love Through Service
Serving others is a tangible expression of our relationship with Jesus. When we serve, we reflect His love and compassion to those around us (Matthew 20:28). Participate in service opportunities at Lakeview, whether it’s through local outreach or global missions. Serving is a powerful way to live out our relationship with Jesus and demonstrate His love in action. As we serve, we embody the heart of Christ, who calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31).
Conclusion
Jesus invites us into a relationship with Him, one that transcends religious rituals and focuses on love and transformation. At Lakeview Christian Church, we are committed to studying, sharing, and serving as we grow in our relationship with Christ. Join us in this mission to “Be the Change,” as we build meaningful relationships with Jesus and others, reflecting His love in all that we do. Together, we can make a lasting impact in our community and beyond.
