Radical Forgiveness

By Life Church community

by Alissa Hankin 'You're not good for me.' I’ve observed a trending concept that is, if someone is rude to you, mean to you, disappoints you, or fails you, then they aren’t good for you. And because you don’t need them, and because they aren’t “serving you”, then you can and should block them out of your life. Whether it be parent, child, spouse, church leader, or friend. We can...

By Life Church Building, Multi Site, One Church

Prayer: Passion & Power

By Life Church Prayer

What would it be like: to have our nation on its knees in prayer? For our city to be a home of refuge? For church congregations to be a place of healing? For our households to be dwellings of His presence? For us to have an intimacy with God that finds us prostrate in awe and reverence? What would it be like if we passionately pursued God just because of...
