Lifeline Online- Lebanon Christian Church, January 19, 2022

Reflections- "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." -Matthew 7:12

Pastor to Person

We continue with online worship only for the rest of January.  The worship service live streams from our church's Facebook page at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday mornings.  It is also available for viewing following the conclusion of the service on both our Facebook page and the church's website.  I will put out an update regarding gathering onsite prior to the first of February.  Our online views of the worship service from this past Sunday were 175.  It is important to note that one view does not necessarily represent just one person viewing the service.  In many cases there may be 2 or more people represented by one view.

I thought I would give you a brief financial report for 2021:

Our General Fund offerings for the year were $190,087.69.  Our General Fund expenses were $190,568.90

Building Fund & Thanksgiving Offerings needed for mortgage payments- $34,368.60. Offerings-$37,895.77

Mortgage balance as of December 31st- $308,323.89

Whenever we roll over into a new year, I always meditate on the fresh start God gives us through Christ.  The word "new" is used a lot in Scripture.  We are raised out of baptism into a new life (Romans 6:4).  In Christ we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).  God will give us a new song (Psalm 40:3).  God will give us a new name (Revelation 2:17).

This Sunday I begin a new sermon series from the book of Colossians.  The series is entitled, The Lordship of Christ.  The book of Colossians applies the Lordship of Jesus Christ to different areas of our lives, including the church.  My message this Sunday is, Characteristics of a Godly Church, from Colossians 1:1-14.

Grace & Peace,

Dennis
