S1 Ep 197Why Should I Belong to a Church? // Richard Welsh

What does it mean to be planted in the church? And why is it important? This week we look into why God wants us to be planted in a local church and how putting down roots can help us and the church grow!-----------------------------------WHY SHOULD I BELONG TO A CHURCH?GOD’S DESIGN IS FOR US TO FLOURISH IN HIS HOUSE(Psalm 92:13 NIV) Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE PLANTED IN GOD’S HOUSE?(Acts 8:29-31 NLT) The Holy Spirit said to Philip, "Go over and walk along beside the carriage." (30) Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" (31) The man replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?" And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him.(Acts 8:34-35 NLT) The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?" (35) So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus.BE IN THE SOIL: KEEP SHOWING UP TO YOUR CHURCHPUT YOUR ROOTS DOWN: INVEST YOUR HEART IN YOUR CHURCH(Hebrews 10:24 NLT) Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.(Luke 5:33 NIV) They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.”COMMIT TO A LOCAL CHURCH(Hebrews 10:25 AMPC) Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.(Acts 8:36-38 NLT) As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?" (38) He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.(Ephesians 4:11-13 NLT) Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. (12) Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. (13) This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.CLOSER TO JESUS-----------------------------------Connect Group QuestionsWhat does it mean to be "planted" in a church? (Psalms 92:12-15 ERV)Why is being part of a church community important? (Ecclesiastes 4:12 ERV)How can we help each other understand the Bible better? (Acts 8:29-31, 34-35 NLT)What can we do to grow stronger in our faith together?-----------------------------------Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen

S1 Ep 196The Church - Why Do I need Connect Group? // Monty Plummer

What kind of community is the church? Can you come closer to God at church? Can you make friends at church? Find out how you can experience personal growth and encouragement through amazing relationships in the church.——————————————————————————THE CHURCH - WHY DO I NEED CONNECT GROUP?(Colosians 1:9-10 NLT) So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. (10) Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.(Acts 2:42-47 NLT) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. (43) A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. (44) And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. (45) They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. (46) They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— (47) all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.(Acts 5:42 NLT) And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: “Jesus is the Messiah.”(Psalm 84:10a NLT) Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.PERSONAL GROWTH ENCOURAGEMENT (Ephesians 4:14-15 NLT) Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. (15) Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.PRAYERAMAZING RELATIONSHIPS (Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT) Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. (25) And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.——————————————————————————Connect Group QuestionsWhy is it important to join a Connect Group in the church?How can being part of a Connect Group help us grow spiritually?What are some ways we can encourage each other in a Connect Group?Why is praying together in a group important?How do strong relationships in a Connect Group benefit our faith?——————————————————————————Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen

S1 Ep 195Unshakable: The Story of the Church // Rod Plummer

How did God’s Church start? Why is it still around now? How is it still important? Tune in this week to see how God’s unshakable church is still impacting the world today and how you can be a part of it!————————————UNSHAKABLE: THE STORY OF THE CHURCHWHAT HAPPENED THEN (AT THE START)? (Matthew 16:18) And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.(Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.(Isaiah 55:11) So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty. But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.(Acts 1:8) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.HOW MANY RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT? ALL WHO SEEKS JESUS!(Acts 2:1-4) When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. (2) Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. (3) They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. (4) All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.(Romans 8:9) You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.HOW MANY PRAISE LANGUAGES?  CALL TO ALL PEOPLE TO COME AND WORSHIP!(Acts 2:8) Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?(Acts 2:17) In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.WHO CAN BE SAVED? ALL WHO BELIEVE!(Acts 2:37-38, 41)  When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” (38) Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.WHAT DID THEY DO ON THE FIRST DAY? SERVED THE LORD WITH JOY!(Acts 2:42)  "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." (Acts 2:46-47)  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, (47) praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW? THE "GOSPEL" GOING TO THE WHOLE WORLD(Psalm 113:3) From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets the name of the Lord is to be praised.(Isaiah 59:19) From the west, people will fear the name of the Lord, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory. For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the Lord drives along.WHAT'S HAPPENING FUTURE? "ALL THE EARTH REACHED!"(Habbakuk 2:14) For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.(Revelation 5:9 In heaven future) And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."(Revelation 7:9) … from every tribe and language and people and nation."SO HOW SHALL WE THEN LIVE?" UNSHAKABLE HEARTS GIVING THANKS(Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.————————————Connect Group Questions:What does it mean that the church is built on a rock and cannot be overcome? (Matthew 16:18)How did the Holy Spirit empower the early believers, and what impact did it have? (Acts 1:8; 2:1-4)Why is it important that people from all nations can hear the Gospel in their own language?How can we live with unshakable hearts and give thanks in our daily lives? (Hebrews 12:28)Why is it important for the Gospel to reach the whole world?How can we help spread the Gospel today?————————————Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen

S1 Ep 194Church: God’s Master Plan // Richard Welsh

God’s Church has been around for a long time. It comes in all different shapes and sizes. Maybe you have seen a church or maybe you have attended. But what is God’s Church? Why is it important? This month we are looking into the history and importance of the Church through our new series called God’s Community - The Church!———————————————CHURCH: GOD’S MASTER PLANGOD WANTS A FAMILY(Ephesians 2:19 TLB)  Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God's very own family, citizens of God's country, and you belong in God's household with every other Christian.EKKLESIA - “THE CALLED-OUT ONE’S”(Ephesians 2:21-22 TLB) We who believe are carefully joined together with Christ as parts of a beautiful, constantly growing temple for God. (22) And you also are joined with him and with each other by the Spirit and are part of this dwelling place of God.(Ephesians 3:3, 5 NLT) As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me…. (5) God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.CHURCH IS GOD’S PLAN(Ephesians 3:6 NLT) And this is God's plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God's children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.ONE BIG EXTENDED FAMILY, WITH MANY UNIQUE HOUSEHOLDS(Hebrews 10:25 TLB) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.(Psalm 92:13 NIV) Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.GOD’S ETERNAL PLAN WAS YOU FLOURISHING IN A CHURCH(Ephesians 3:10-11 NLT) God's purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. (11) This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.(Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT) Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. (21) Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.———————————————Connect Group QuestionsWhat does it mean to be part of God’s family? (Ephesians 2:19)How does being “called out” by God make you feel? (Ephesians 2:21-22 TLB + Ephesians 3:3, 5 NLT)Why is the church important to God’s plan? (Ephesians 3:6)How can being in a church help you grow?How can you help with the church’s mission?———————————————Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen
