THIS COMING SUNDAY!!!

Hey all, I just wanted to do a quick post to let everyone know that even though Baltimore County has postponed all of the weekend activities. We will still be having Church...That's right.

Church will go on this Sunday with just a little twist. We will be doing our first ever Web service.

This Sunday!

Hey LifeBridge. It is no secret that there has been some incredible things happen over this past year. Some good and some bad.

I also know that no matter what it is that God is in control, and it is part of His PERFECT plan! I also believe that as a church we are on the verge of some really awesome opportunities for us to be a part of in 2010.

This Sunday is "Vision Sunday". We are going to be sharing what it is that we believe God is leading us to do in the upcoming year.

So come with anticipation of what it is God is laying on our hearts as leaders that will make LifeBridge Church the most "unique" Church in Eastern Baltimore County...

Just some thoughts!

Sunday At LifeBridge!

WOW!!! That is all I can say about today. Pastor Jeff rocked the house today with his message "Man In The Mirror".

I am so thankful that I work alongside men who are not afraid to step up to the plate and let the word fly. (the bible that is :-)) Now it has been said that as a pastor, it is our responsibility to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.

He did an awesome job of letting us know that before we can ever begin to move forward in our relationship with Jesus, we must first look in the mirror to see who it is that is actually be reflected. Us or Him!

He also challanged us to step up our game. "Can you be counted on, or just counted"? Great statement!

I am pumped about what God has done in the last few weeks at LifeBridge. It seems as if people are really starting to take hold of our improved vision and are ready to make a difference in our community. The numbers are up and the energy is electric. Way to go God!

Next week is going to be an awesome Sunday. Once again we are doing something a little different. We are having a "Student Takeover". So invite a friend and come show your support for the church of today!!!

Well I am beat, and bummed about our Ravens!!! More to come.

Just some thoughts!

Sunday At LifeBridge!

What an incredible day today at LifeBridge. Talmidim rocked the house! What a great group of people with a true heart to worship God. they were a real blessing to our church today.

I am so glad that as a ministry we are never afraid of doing some different things in order to become the most unique church around.

I was able to bring a message entitled, "When the Music Fades... What is Worship". My prayer is that as people left today that they really understood that true worship is not something we do, but the life that we lead.

I truly believe that God is in the midst of doing some awesome things with our ministry. I am pumped about what it is the future has in store.

We had a really productive meeting today after our service with our LifeGroup leaders in which I shared once again our newly updated vision for our ministry.

I am convinced that unless you are a part of a LifeGroup you will never experience what it is that God has in store for you as a Christ follower.

If you are a part of LifeBridge, and are not in a LifeGroup, I believe that you need to stop making excuses as to why you cannot attend, and start investing your time in your spiritual growth.

Just some thoughts!

Sunday!!

Yesterday was yet another incredible day at LifeBridge. God showed up in a huge way. Pastor Jeff rocked the house with a message that I believe if every Christ follower would get a hold of. It would radically change our lives.

I am so thankful to be a part of a church that takes risks. God has called us to be "unique". By that I mean so incredibly different that the community cannot help but to stand up and take notice of what God is doing in the lives of people.

LifeBridge, we have a mission. A mission to see people that are far from God, come to a saving faith in Jesus. My prayer is that some would stop spectating, and all would start playing!

By the way, next Sunday is going to be a very special day. We are going to be doing something that has never been done. Not as long as I have been at LifeBridge. I would encourage everyone to be there as well as bring as many friends and family as possible. It is going to be AWESOME!!! You won't want to miss it.

Just some thoughts!

Hey everyone. I wanted to share a link that really spoke to my heart today. I believe that if we as Christ followers would get a hold of this, there would be a lot less people quitting and using the "blame game" to do so. Enjoy!

Status Quo!

It has been said that status quo is Latin for "the mess we're in". I truly believe that a leader is someone that is never content with the way things are. They have a vision for what they could be. The very definition of leading is to be in front and trying to break free from the status quo.

Now don't get me wrong, being unsatisfied with the status quo does not mean that the leader is always complaining or negative towards everything going on. It just means that they have a willingness to take risks. No risks no reward! I also believe that a person that is afraid to take risks is a person who fails to grow.

See, a leader who is happy with the status quo soon becomes a follower. I believe with all my heart that real leaders take risks and are not afraid to fail. But for most people they are satisfied and comfortable with old problems rather than to come up with new solutions.

I am so glad that LifeBridge is lead by a team of men that are not afraid to jump out of the boat. Were on a mission to make the changes that are needed in order to reach as many people for Jesus that He allows us to.

Yes change can be difficult, but it is necessary. I am tired of the world offering the greatest and the church settling for second best. We need to have an attitude adjustment and start to reverse the mentality that is bringing the church down.

You know what I am talking about. The excuses we make to not change for the better. Like, "Sunday is my only day off, so I really need to rest". Well last I checked, the only one that needed rest was God!

We are willing to bust our hump for everything in the world, but when it comes to doing things for Him, we use the mentality of well Jesus understands.

People we need to start stepping up our game. We need to start telling the world through our actions not just our words. Jesus is worth the very best that we have to offer and it is a sin not to give it to Him...

Just some thoughts!

Pastor Bobby
