This Sunday, we start our new series going through the Gospel of Mark and encountered Jesus as the Healer—a Savior who is moved with compassion, reaches out to the hurting, and raises us up. Healing is a preview of the resurrection. Sickness doesn’t get the final word. Death doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does. And when we pray for healing, we don’t put our faith in a method—we put our faith in a Person. Jesus is the Healer. As we move forward as a church, may we carry not only the power of Jesus, but the compassion of Jesus.  Watch the full sermon on the LIFECHURCH7 YouTube channel for worship, testimonies, and sermon moments.

What does a healthy church look like?  In Acts 2, we see a picture of a church birthed by the Word of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. Healthy churches are Spirit-filled, preach the Gospel, lead people to repentance, devote themselves to the Word, fellowship, the Lord’s Table, and prayer—and experience awe, unity, generosity, joy, miracles, and salvation. This Sunday, we dive into what it means to be a healthy church and what happens when a church fully embraces the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Being a healthy woman starts with knowing you're a child of God. Being a woman was never meant to be something we have to fight against or prove. God designed us as helpers, advocates, nurturers, and life-givers and that design is honorable.  A healthy christian woman begins by knowing whose she is: a beloved daughter of God. From there, we surrender the lies of culture, crucify our flesh, and learn to live according to Scripture rather than the world's definition of worth, control and identity.  Watch the full sermon on the LIFECHURCH7 YouTube channel for worship, testimonies, and sermon moments.

This morning we take a look at Philippians 2 and Colossians 1. If you want to be a Godly, righteous & humble man you MUST have the attitude of Christ.

Marriage is God's design—a sacred covenant that reflects Christ's love for His Church. From the beginning, God created marriage for unity, companionship, and becoming "one flesh." A thriving marriage begins by putting Jesus first, prioritizing your spouse, practicing mutual submission, fighting for unity, serving one another with humility, extending forgiveness freely, and honoring intimacy as a gift within marriage. When we behold Jesus as our Bridegroom and follow His example of sacrificial love, our marriages become a powerful testimony of God's grace, faithfulness, and covenant love.

Today's episode is continuing our Healthy Series, we continued exploring God's design for true wholeness—loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. After recapping the importance of spiritual health and daily connection with Jesus, we shifted our focus to soul health, especially our emotions. We discussed how culture often encourages feelings to become our highest authority, but Scripture calls us to let God's truth lead instead. Looking at David in Psalm 42 and Jesus in Gethsemane, we learned a biblical pattern for emotional health: name your emotions, bring them to God, and submit them to His will. We closed by challenging listeners to practice Sabbath, continue fasting unhealthy indulgences, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where emotional healing and greater wholeness are needed.

What happens when God's love doesn't just stop with us, but flows through us to others? In this week's message from our Beloved series, Mark Middleton shares a simple but life-changing truth: Loved people love people.
