This Sunday, as we began the Advent season, Executive Pastor Randy Quackenbush based his sermon on Luke 21:25-36, Matthew 24:3-14,  Ephesians 2:18, & other various scriptures.

1. Cultivate your heart for “home”
   • Know this world is not your “home”
     (1 Peter 2:11)
   • Know that not every promise or dream will come true before you reach “home”
     (Heb 11:13-16)
   • Know that “home” is magnificent – the best place ever!
     (Rev 21:1-8)
   • Know that “home” is being with the One who loves you most
     (John 15:13, Eph 3:14-19)
2. Compel others to find “home”
   • Live a contagious Christian life
     (Peter 2:12)
   • Work for the Cause of Christ
     (1 Cor 3:11-15)
   • Collect your ticket “home”
     (Rev. 21:6-8)

This Sunday’s sermon from Pastor Ron Bontrager was based on Psalms 24:3-4, “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.”

This week at Lakeview Church, Pastor Ron Bontrager based his sermon on the wilderness experience of Jesus in Luke chapter 4.

• The Wilderness Can Be A Place of Great Power
• The Wilderness Can Be A Place of Great Problems
• The Wilderness Can Be Preparation To Fight The Devil On His Turf

In this Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Ron Bontrager discussed how Jesus used God’s power while he was on earth. Jesus’ entire life on earth was spent living under a God-ordained limitation of God’s power.

This Sunday, Pastor Ron Bontrager discussed what must happen for us to experience the resurrection power of Jesus Christ:

1. We must experience death
2. We must embrace death
