Please join us on April 15 at 7 PM for a multi-church Good Friday service at the Lord’s House Community Church, located at 3060 Holcomb Bridge Road in Norcross. Pastor Joe Jackson is hosting this special evening which will feature mini messages from at least three pastors. The service starts at 7 pm.

Come celebrate Easter with us! Our special Easter service will be on Sunday April 17, 2022 at 11 am.

Pastor Matt will continue his “Ask Matt” series during the 9:30 Bible Hour through the month of April. He is answering difficult Bible questions and challenging theological issues emailed in advance from the congregation. After Easter Sunday, Pastor Matt will continue his sermon series through 1 Corinthians, starting in chapter 3.

The month of March is a great time to join us for the new sermon series on 1 Corinthians. Pastor Matt introduced the book on February 27^th and we got a glimpse of how Paul is frustrated with the Corinthians for their tendency to get stuck in the tendrils of their culture. We too, need to be watchful that as we grown and mature in our faith that we are distinct from our culture, rather than blending in and become ineffective for Christ. Join us for this series on 1 Corinthians where Paul will remind us of truths and lessons that he communicated not just to the believers in Corinth, but to many other churches, as well (see 1 Cor 4:17; 7:17; 11:16; 14:33; and 16:1).  

On March 13 we start a new series called “Ask Matt” during the 9:30 Bible Hour. What is a difficult question that you have about the Bible, either about a particular passage or about a challenging theological issue? Send them to Matt in advance via email and he will study and do his best to tackle them during our 9:30 Bible study hour.

Come join us for our study of the Word of God!

We have two more weeks scheduled in our study of the life of Joseph from the book of Genesis (chapters 37-50) during our 11:00 service. We have seen how his life is a testimony of how God can accomplish His purposes despite the foibles and failures of people.  Indeed, God’s sovereign hand is behind the story of human actions. Join us as we study the reconciliation of Joseph with his brothers and Jacob’s blessings of his sons in chapters 48-50. Our next study will be a study of the book of First Corinthians.

During our 9:30 Bible hour we are surveying the book of Ecclesiastes.  In light of the brevity of life, how do we maximize meaning in life? The study is challenging us to remember that fearing and obeying God actually helps us enjoy life.  We are up to chapter 6, which may represent the depths of Solomon’s despair and discouragement, but we know how the book ends. Since we started Ecclesiastes in chapter 12, keeping the end in mind, we know that we need to “Carpe Diem Deus” (seize the day for the Lord).

Join us for new studies in January!

Starting January 2, we start a six week study on the life of Joseph from the book of Genesis (chapters 37-50) during our 11:00 service. His life is a testimony of how God can accomplish His purposes despite the foibles and failures of people. God’s sovereignty always triumphs over the folly and immaturity of man.

During our 9:30 Bible hour, we are surveying the book of Ecclesiastes.  In light of the brevity of life, how do we maximize meaning in life? The study will challenge us to remember that fearing and obeying God actually helps us enjoy life!

Please join us as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christmas! Pastor Matt will be teaching highlights from Luke chapter 1 and 2 during the 11:00 worship service.  On Sunday December 12 we saw the Preparation for the King from Luke 1:1-45. On December 19 we will learn about Praise for the King from Luke 1:46-80 and on Sunday December 26 we will learn about The Presence of the King from Luke 2: 1-20. Remember that on Sunday, December 26^th we will only have service at 11 am and no 9:30 Bible hour.

Please join us for our new sermon series called, “Wonderful Words of Life,” where we will focus on Biblical words associated with salvation and sanctification.  We will cover several terms like justification, regeneration and edification.

On the Sundays closest to Christmas we will be in Luke chapters 1 and 2. We would be delighted for you to join us for our worship service at 11 am.

Just a reminder that we will not be meeting at our normal church location this week!

We will have a special service on Sunday, November 14 at 11:00 at Winters Chapel Baptist Church. We will have our own service at 11:00 in their fellowship hall, and then we will have a brief baptism service in their sanctuary from about 12:10-12:30.  Winters Chapel Baptist Church is located at 6625 Winters Chapel Road, Atlanta 30360.

Please join us as Pastor Matt continues to teach through the book of Philippians. We have just begun chapter 4 as Paul reminds us to stand firm in our faith and live in harmony. Paul has exhorted the Philippians (and us!) to maintain a proper mindset and attitude, reminding us that our citizenship is in heaven (3:20) and that knowing Christ is better than any contrived human “confidence” (3:4, 8). Our morning service starts at 11 am. Come early at 10:30 to enjoy a cup of coffee and some conversation!

We invite you to join us as our pastor continues to preach through the book of Philippians. Recently, we have studied how the apostle Paul states that our mindset and attitude should be humble, emulating the example of Christ (2:5-8).  We have been reminded that while it is our job is to be humble, it is God the Father’s job to do the exalting (2:9). We have been challenged that we are responsible to grow in our faith (2:12-13) and we should pursue sanctification in tangible ways. Paul writes that Christians are expected to live blamelessly and that grumbling and complaining are antithetical to our spiritual growth (2:14-15).  Join us this Sunday to be encouraged and fortified in your faith!

Please join us on June 27, as we begin a new sermon series through the book of Philippians. Written while under house arrest, this letter served as Paul’s missionary “thank you” letter to the believers in the city of Philippi. Despite his circumstances, it brims with joy, encouragement, and exhortations to live with Christ-honoring conduct. He writes, “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Philippians 1:27. Come be fortified in your faith with the wisdom of pragmatic Christian living!
