Lake Stevens Family Church

My Biggest Problem:

Have you ever wondered what the source of life’s problems are? Some may answer, “that’s easy, the Devil”, others may say, “oh, it’s from a fallen world”, other’s may say, “it’s God’s judgment”. I have to say to all of you, you’re partially correct. The Bible tells of several reasons why ‘problems’ arise. Here are a few of them…

Problems point out sin in my life.
Problems provide an opportunity for a miracle from God.
Problems promote spiritual maturity in my life.
Problems portray the war between God and Satan over our soul.

The greatest tool used to by the enemy of our soul is….[brace yourself] YOU. Think about it. What is the common denominator in every problematic situation? YOU. This weekend we are going to look at the #1 barrier to deep relationships and what the Bible teaches about it.

As you peruse this E-Bulletin, I encourage you to get involved in ministry/small groups opportunities/chances to connect with one another.

It’s a blessing serving Jesus with you all.

Pastor Virgil
