In Psalm 1:3 the person whose delight is the law of the Lord is compared to a tree planted by streams of water. Fresh streams result in fruitful seasons and healthy growth. Being Grounded in Truth & Growing in Grace provides the same spiritual benefits. The constant stream of truth from God’s word, coupled with His grace provides healthy spiritual growth - Christ in us, the result of the cross. Truth and grace are essential ingredients as we seek to make disciples of one another at LJBC and of others within our sphere of influence.
Free Indeed, a 12-step recovery group, meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Free Indeed will be led by Mickey Tays, someone who has experienced victory through God’s grace and mutual accountability for nearly 29 years. Mickey has a tender heart towards those who struggle with addictions and unhealthy habits and desires to help. For more informatioin, see the EVENTS page or click here.
Matthew 1.1The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
God had a plan for the redemption of His people from before time began as we know it. Matthew 1 traces that plan through the generations with both Abraham and David playing a significant role. Both had received a word from God. Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man’s entrance into the world came through Abraham and David’s linage fulfilling Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, the Promised One. Let’s find comfort this Christmas season, in a very delicate world, as we remember that God has worked, continues to work and will work His plan for the ages.
