Lake Cities Community Church's Podcast

Welcome to Lake Cities Community Church. We are a nondenominational Christian church in Rowlett, TX. This podcast is a place where you can listen to our sermons and other content that we pray will be an encouragement to you and your walk with Jesus Christ. Our mission is to win people to Christ, build them up into healthy and balanced believers, and send them out into our community, country, and to the ends of the earth to spread the love of Jesus. We hold tightly to what we believe, but we will not let grey issues define us as a people. That means wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here. Ephesian 4:4-5 "There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to the one hope when you were called, one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Our desire is to win people to Christ, build them up into healthy and balanced believers, and send them out into our community, country, and to the ends of the earth to spread the love of Jesus. We believe that as we fulfill our mission, we will move closer to our vision: To be a mid-sized church serving the community around us and To be a multigenerational church with a next-gen lean To be a mid-sized church serving the community around us Our church building is on a 3 1/2 acre lot, with our current building able to house 125-150 people at one time. We believe God will lead us in the near future to expand onto the unused area of our property as we grow into a church of 300-400 people. This growth will allow us to better serve Rowlett and the surrounding community. To be a multigenerational church with a next-gen lean We have a passion and love for all ages and demographics at Lake Cities. We truly desire to be a multigenerational and multicultural church and we believe we can best do this by beginning to lean toward the next generation. What this means is that we use accessible language, music, graphics, and outreach events that we feel will be appealing and attractive to the current generation. As we do this, we are committed to holding tightly to the truths found in the Bible and to loving all of our members equally, regardless of age, race, or gender.

What is a successful church? Some people measure this with numbers, others by the influence the church has on the community and beyond. However, God measures by faithfulness. In this passage of 1 Peter 3:8-17, Peter will tell us what we are to be faithful to so that we can be "successful" as a church.

As we move through our 1 Peter study, this week we look at the command to submit to government and authority found in chapter 2. verses 13-17. This isn't always an easy thing to do. However, submission to authority has been ordained by God, and when we don't it can have the horrible effect of discrediting our witness as Christians.

We live in a pressure filled world, and that pressure threatens our peace. The encouragement that Peter gave to the first century church while they were experiencing pressure is applicable still in the twenty-first century. In verses 1-12 of 1 Peter chapter 2, Peter gives us four ways to maintain peace when the pressure around us builds.

The early church recognized the importance of meeting in small groups. It is important for the body of Christ to gather together as a whole, but it is equally important for people to be connected in a small group. This week as we prepare for our connect group open enrollment period, we will look at how small groups in the early church, and throughout church history, operated.

Not all the work we do here on earth is pleasant work. Sometimes it's hard, or we are ill-equipped, or it just doesn't interest us. However, much like the slaves Paul addresses in Colossians 3:22-25, we serve not only earthly masters, we serve our Heavenly Father as well. Listen in and learn what it means to worship while you work no matter the work you are doing.
