Lake Chapala Baptist

John Whitener stepped in for vacationing Pastor John Linton last Sunday and gifted the congregation with a riveting sermon centering on a timeless favorite, Psalm 121.

“Today’s world is polarized to the point of being a lackluster black and white,” he declared. “But Psalm 121 brings us new colors of possibilities, painted by the Creator of all things, and transforming what was a mere possibility into a new reality.”

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help,” begins the Psalm. “Where are your eyes, oh seeker?”

Titled “The Impossible Song,” this teaching clearly laid out many impossible-sounding promises from the most powerful. For example, The Lord will preserve you from all evil. “That’s good news!” he said enthusiastically. “This verse means that nothing shall prevail against you!

“We all follow what we see. God’s promises are true, tested, and certain. Put your eyes on the hill of hills, Calvary, our true source of salvation.”

Share thoughtful weekly sermons, uplifting music, God-driven fellowship, and an ongoing thirst for true wisdom at Lake Chapala Baptist Church every Sunday, 10:45 a.m. Adult Sunday school 9:45 a.m., and Bible study groups Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m. Santa Margarita 147, Riberas del Pilar.

Come listen to Clarke, our meditation expert, tell you more. Carol Johnson will be the service leader.

Lakeside Presbyterian

Sunday, November 14, Pastor Wayne will give the sermon.

David is perhaps the greatest of all the kings of Israel. He built up a large kingdom; his desire was to follow the Lord. Even after he faltered, he eventually returned to the Lord with a broken spirit. There are great lessons for us in observing his spiritual journey: 1. Shepherd;  2. Soldier; 3. Sovereign; 4. Sinner.

The LPC has returned to in-church services at 9:30 a.m. for the English language service and 11 a.m. for the Spanish language service.

Abundant Life Church

¨What do you think?¨ The root of this question is to determine what you believe on a certain subject. Somehow we tend to think that what we believe automatically impacts our actions, but if that were so there would be no need to ask the question, as everyone would know what we think by simply watching us. Come Sunday, November 14, and you won´t be asked what you believe, but rather whom you serve. There are many who believe the correct things, but their life is not safely wrapped up in Jesus. You don’t need to remain a believer, you can be a doer.  

English Sunday service is at 10 a.m., also at abundantlifechapala.com. Bible studies are in person Wednesdays, 11 a.m. Carretera Chapala-Jocotepec 140 in San Antonio Tlayacapan.
