Lakeside Summer Snap-Shot: The Cure for Envy

August 27, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Psalm 73:25–28

It can be frustrating to see evil triumph and the wicked prosper, and it’s not a new phenomenon, the wicked have flourished at different times all through history. What is the Christian to make of it all? Is being devoted to Jesus and making good decisions worth it? Can we even ask such a question? The Psalmist asked God many questions in an attempt to understand life and maintain worship. Join us as we wrestle with the quandary of how to handle envy of the wicked; it’s an honest question. Psalm 73: 25-28

Summer Snap Shots: You Are What You Worship?

July 30, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Psalm 135:13–18

We give value to all sorts of things in life, and what happens to the things we elevate in value? They demand our time, treasure, and attention. Like the proverbial frog in the boiling water, before we realize it, we can be worshipping idols! What is a modern idol? Is worshipping an idol a 21st century phenomenon or relegated to the primitive past? If we have idols in our lives, is there hope? Join us as we examine the Psalms and deal with one of the biggest issues of the heart mankind has ever faced! You’re going to be glad you came! Psalm 135: 13-18

Summer Snap Shots: Obadiah and Elijah in “Why Me God?”

We’ll visit with guys like Obadiah and Ananias to explore how to respond and more in our Summer Snap Shots ’23: “Why me God?” 1 Kings 18: 1-16
