Sunday AM Worship Service
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In the Sunday AM worship service, the teacher first reported on the recent youth camp, noting its Emmaus road theme (Luke 24) and celebrating the 22 individuals who chose baptism that week. He praised the staff, especially his wife Kara, and emphasized how the camp fostered personal growth, deeper scriptural understanding, and a tangible sense of Jesus walking alongside participants. The service then transitioned to announcements, inviting the congregation to the fourth annual retreat at Trinity Pines, where stories of Jesus and personal testimonies would be shared. Concluding the lesson, the teacher examined Philippians 3:13‑14, urging members to assess whether they had pressed on in their relationship with Christ over the past months, and to intentionally pursue a more intimate walk with Him. The overall message highlighted community involvement, the transformative power of discipleship, and the call to continually advance spiritually. Throughout the class, the tone was celebratory and exhortative, encouraging gratitude for volunteers, prayer for new believers, and commitment to future gatherings that deepen faith and fellowship within the Linder Road Church family.
Key Scriptures
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but I keep pressing on to seize it, because Christ Jesus has seized me. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that what has happened to me has furthered the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole palace guard and to all the others.
