Do your words reflect your relationship with Jesus? In Week 5 of Jesus + Nothing, Pastor Rich closes the series by teaching from Colossians 4 and reminding us that everything is spiritual, including the words we speak, text, post, pray, and use in difficult conversations. This message explores four ways our words can point people to Jesus: pray with your words because they connect you to God, engage with your words because they build bridges to outsiders, encourage with your words because they strengthen others, and honor with your words because they deepen relationships. Speaker: Rich Greene Series: Jesus + Nothing, Week 5 Message: Words That Point People to Jesus Date: June 14, 2026 Scripture referenced: Colossians 3:17, Colossians 4:2-18, Luke 6:45 Connect with us: https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia Learn more about LIFEchurch: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/ Give: https://www.lifechurchnow.org/give

What does it really mean to “run and not grow weary” when life feels heavy and you’re just trying to hold it together? In this message, Paul Hurckman (Venture Missions) unpacks Isaiah 40:31—especially the idea of waiting on the Lord as active “holding on” (qavah (קָוָה))—and how God renews our strength as we keep showing up. You’ll also hear how Kingdom Builders generosity is supporting work in tough places—providing meals, rescuing girls from trafficking, training women, and helping start churches—while reminding us that even in our own “duct-tape” seasons, we can be part of what God is doing in the world. --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Go and make disciples”? In this message, we look at Matthew 28 and Acts 1:8 to discover that disciple-making isn’t a program, a personality type, or something reserved for pastors and missionaries. It’s part of our identity as followers of Jesus. We are called to be witnesses—ordinary people who share what God has done in us. This message breaks down how disciple-making starts right where you already live: your home, your workplace, your neighborhood, and your relationships. You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need a platform. You just need a story and the power of the Holy Spirit. The question isn’t whether you’re part of the mission. The question is: who is your one? --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ? Follow this link : https://bit.ly/m/lifechurchia

In Week 2 of our NEXT series, we talk about the second movement of following Jesus: becoming like Jesus. Spiritual growth isn’t about trying harder—it’s about being intentionally formed by Christ instead of being shaped by culture, habits, and drift. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I still struggle with the same stuff?” or “Can I actually change?”—this message is for you. Real transformation is possible (not inevitable, but possible), and Scripture gives us a clear path forward. In this message, you’ll learn: 1) What it means to be formed (intentionally vs. unintentionally) 2) How to measure real growth over time (not just in a week) 3) Why renewing your mind matters (Romans 12) 4) What it looks like to “put to death” old patterns and “put on” Christ (Colossians 3) 5) The kind of growth God desires in us (Galatians 5) --Connect With Us-- Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?
