Lake Chapala Baptist
Last Sunday, Pastor Linton delivered a message all about perseverance. It is not surprising, then, that the sermon texts were taken mostly from Romans and Hebrews.
“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Jesus—the beginning and the end, who began a good work in you—will see it through in you.
“Do not waver!” Pastor John told us in conclusion. “Stay where God has called you to be; stay in the hand of God. In our persevering, believers and beloveds, God will never leave us nor forsake us. He will keep us in His hand forever.”
Share memorable weekly sermons, uplifting music, and an ongoing thirst for true wisdom at Lake Chapala Baptist Church every Sunday at 10:45 a.m. Santa Margarita 147, Riberas del Pilar. Information: 376-765-2925, 333-016-3743 or the LCBC Facebook page.
If you’ve never experienced a bilingual service, give it a try, and bring a friend! At LCBC, not only are the sermons instantly translated, but the worship music is sung in both languages, something that is surprisingly easy to get the hang of when you have all the words on a big screen in front of you and people from all over the world singing with you.
LCBC’s bilingual service meets Sundays at 5:30 p.m. Please see our ad under Worship Listings for more information. ¡Todos bienvenidos!
Unitarians
Sunday, July 31, Johannes Bjorner will speak about “Gun Violence in America.”
Gun violence is a complex subject and the United States has lost perspective on the issue. It is so common now that we have become numb to it. But there are organizations that work for gun control, and they bring new hope. What can we learn from these efforts?
Heidi MacLennan will be the service leader.
