Pastor Wayne takes as his sermon title “How did we get here?” Sunday, June 21.
Ockham’s Razor states that the “the simplest solution is most likely the right one.” We could apply that to our existence. Earth is in the center of what is called “The Goldilocks Zone,” where at least 55 critical components make life as we know it possible. If any of these were not present, we would not be here. Is it an incredibly lucky assortment of components, or does it show the hand of a Master Designer?
LPC continues to work with Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club to help our unemployed neighbors who are in dire straits financially. The end is not yet in sight. Together, we are helping families from San Antonio all along the lake’s north shore.
We truly are all in this together, and now, more than ever, we must love and care for one another. Quoting John 13:35 “ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Abundant Life Church
We return to services in our church building again! What does it look like when God is first in our life? Last week we learned that it was a requirement from God but this week we will discover the blessing it is for those who live it out. We can never earn more love from God but when we have God as the center of our lives we are able to appreciate and understand that love better. Those who have God first in their lives have blessed me. Are you a blessing to others?
We are limited to 50 people so be one of the first to arrive. Those who cannot be with us in person will enjoy our services both on our Facebook page as well as our YouTube channel.

Lakeside Community
Fellowship
Have you ever heard somebody say, “I’m no theologian?” It sounds like the statement of humility — but it’s not. What they’re really saying is that serious thinking about Christian doctrine and attempting to express those truths clearly is not real Christianity. They have the idea that real Christianity is about practical concerns: our personal walk with the Lord, sharing the gospel and so on. They say, “theologians may have their place but studying doctrine is not something that ordinary Christians need to bother with.” In fact, some Christians think it might hinder their spiritual life if they get serious about doctrine. That’s a real departure from the thinking of believers in earlier times yet it’s quite prevalent in today’s church. And that attitude is, in my opinion, a recipe for spiritual disaster. Every Christian should be a theologian, it’s simply getting to know God. And if we know God it will help us to live right. Is that important to our Lord? I think so, because the study of doctrine is an expression of loving the Lord with our minds. I hope you’ll consider these things. They may encourage you in pursuing the Lord with all your being.
The church meets online every Sunday at 10 a.m. E-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for instructions on how to have fellowship with us.
