Follow Me: The Cost/Benefit of Discipleship

November 26, 2023 • Vince Armfield • 2 Timothy 2:1–7

What hangs in the balance for everyone in life? Is there a real cost/benefit ratio to living for Jesus? We often hear and sing songs extolling it (living for Jesus) will be worth it all; however, will it be?

Follow Me: Thanksgiving Sunday

November 19, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Psalm 145:1–7

It is good to take time to reflect and give God thanks openly. We will take communion together and praise God for who He is, what He has done, is doing, and will accomplish in and through our lives. To God be the glory!

Follow Me: The Disciple in Action, Sharing

November 12, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Matthew 5:14–16

Jesus told His disciples that they were the light of the world. In this generation the hallmark of the disciple is still the same – through our good works we bring glory to our Father in heaven and declare His life transforming love.

Follow Me: Volunteer Appreciation Sunday

November 5, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Romans 16:1–16

This is a very special Sunday – It’s Volunteer Appreciation Sunday at Lakeside! On any given Sunday, 1/3 of the church family is or has been involved in ministry that week. Lakeside is the people, and the people are Lakeside. The disciple of Jesus is involved in the local church – her ministry and service. We love and appreciate all our volunteers and their hours upon hours of service.

Follow Me: The Disciple in Action, Prayer

October 29, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Philippians 4:6–7

The disciple of Jesus learns to open their heart to Him in prayer. God invites us into an intimate relationship in which He wants to hear from us. Through prayer we praise and worship God and present our needs and so much more!

Follow Me: The Disciple in Action, The Word

October 22, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Psalm 119:9–11

The disciple of Jesus is guided by God’s Word. More than a set of rules and regulations, the whole of God’s Word serves as a revelation of Who God is. We can know Him, understand Him, and live for Him with confidence when we spend time with Him in His word.

Follow Me: The Disciple in Action, Community

October 15, 2023 • Vince Armfield • 1 Corinthians 12:12–27

There is no such thing as a lone wolf Christian. The Body of Christ is the visible expression of Jesus to the world. The healthy church speaks to the watching world that there is a new way to be truly human together.

Follow Me: The Disciple in Action, Christ Centered

October 8, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Colossians 1:9–18

The disciple of Jesus will have Him at the very center of their life. He isn’t a part of their life, an interest, or a religious activity – Jesus IS the Christian’s life. Paul makes the case that Jesus is to have first place in everything

Follow Me: Communion Sunday

October 1, 2023 • Steve Rowe

Join us as we hear from Lakeside Elder Steve Rowe and partake in Communion together.

Follow Me: The Decisions

September 24, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Matthew 16:24–26

As with anything in life, we should count the cost – what is the cost vs benefit of following Jesus? Every moment of our days we’re bombarded with calls to follow someone of some worldview. Like the sirens of Homer’s ilyad, many of these sirens are calling us to destruction on the jagged rocks of the zeitgeist that surrounds us. Like Moses did with the ancient Israelites centuries ago, Jesus is calling Christians to follow Him. Following Jesus will change your life forever and more! Come and find out how much more this Sunday at Lakeside! Matthew 16: 24-26

Follow Me: The Disciple

September 17, 2023 • Vince Armfield • John 1:35–50

What is a disciple? How does one even become a disciple? How can I identify a disciple of Jesus? The answers to these questions may surprise you! New life in Jesus is about all things being transformed and renewed; this is exciting news that can’t be ignored! Ever feel like your Christian experience was ho-hum and boring? Come join us on Sunday for a fresh, new, and challenging look at what it really means to be a Christian. Life was never intended to be boring for the Christian. Come, be inspired, and be drawn to Jesus. But! Don’t come alone, bring your friends and family! John 1: 35-50

Follow Me: Salvation Is Just the Beginning

September 10, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Matthew 28:18–20

Who is the person we can count on? Who is the person we’re looking to be faithful, trustworthy, and steadfast in the face of temptation? Is this a super Christian or simply someone following Jesus? Is the resurrection of Jesus the culmination of the great story of redemption? It’s usually considered the end of the Gospels, does that mean it’s the end of the story? What if it’s only the beginning? Join us Sunday as we unpack salvation as the beginning of a new life with Jesus. Be encouraged, challenged, and hopefully inspired. Bring someone with you! Matthew 28: 18-20

Follow Me: Can You See Me? Communion Sunday

September 3, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Psalm 139:7–18

When do we stop being useful in this life? Shocking question? A utilitarian view of the world would have your value tied to your ability. The Christian worldview steps back and considers the big picture of creation. If you or someone you know has ever felt lost and alone without God, you need to join us this Sunday. If you or someone you know has ever felt you’re a burden on everyone else and the world would be better without you, you need to come Sunday and ponder the writing of the Psalmist with us. Psalm 139: 7-18
