The Gospel of Luke – Jesus For Everyone – Part I of XII

January 6, 2019

Hello Friends and Family, Today we kick-off our 12 week series “The Gospel of Luke – Jesus For Everyone.” The first part of today’s message picks up from where we left off last week, and challenging everyone to take the 21 Day Fasting Challenge from 01/07/2019 to 01/28/2019. The 21 Day Fasting Guide is attached under files in a .pdf, or you can go to our home page and click on the tab 21 Day Challenge.  The next part of our message kicks of The Gospel of Luke. We discover who was Luke, why did he write the Gospel, what is the practical application of this Gospel, and how do we tie it around “Community Day,” which is LifeSong’s Annual Anniversary outreach event, and this year it’s on January 12, 2019. We hope you enjoy the message, and we hope you join us on the 21 Day Fasting Challenge, regardless of when you start the challenge.  Pax Jesu, Team LifeSong 

New Year New You – 2019 is Your Year

December 30, 2018

Are you ready for a new start? Do you make New Year’s resolutions?  Most people don’t; do you know why? Because they don’t keep them, so why even try. In today’s message Pastor Harold Long will lead us through God’s Word, and help us learn how we can make real changes in our lives, and how to make these changes a permanent part of our life. We will be introduced to some spiritual disciplines that we can incorporate into our spiritual toolbox that will make a BIG difference in how our lives turns out, and to allow us all to crush it in 2019.

Today we continue in our message series “Come They Told Me” and the title of today’s message is “Unspeakable Joy.” Pastor Harold Long teaches us the true meaning of why Jesus Christ came into the world, and the true essence & nature of God. The main points of this message are: 1.) God created you to enjoy God 2.) Jesus came to bring you joy and complete you and to fulfill what only God can fill. It’s a message you will definitely want to hear and apply to your life. Luke 2:8-20

Hi Family and Friends, Here is the video of the LifeSong Children’s Christmas Program from December 16, 2018.  We hope you enjoy the production, and of course it’s never like being there in person, but it’s still heartwarming.  It was an amazing performance let by Susan McCoy, with Sabrina Hurtgen and Suzie Long assisting.  The kids were awesome, and the little kids coming out at the end dressed as presents is priceless.

If you are new to recovery, or not sure if CR is for you, please listen to the entire message.

Love is a Commitment

November 25, 2018

Hello Friends and Family, This message is from November 25, 2018, by Pastor Harold Long, and titled “Love is a Commitment.” This message was inspired from the interview that Pastor Harold and and Pastor Michael conducted with faithful LifeSong members, Jim and Avis Nelson, who celebrated 60 years of marriage on October 11, 1958. Their marriage is a shining example for all of us, and reflects what God has to say about love and marriage. So, please dive into this message, and discover the fruits from what a 60 year marriage has to offer all of us, and provides us with some real fruits that we can incorporate into our own relationships. Some of you listening today maybe single or divorced, and we are excited you are listening to this teaching. God’s grace and love is poured out on the entire kingdom, and everyone listening will benefit from this message, regardless of your current marital status. Thank you for supporting our ministry. Pax Jesu, Team LifeSong
