Lifeway Church

When life gets tough, we need one another. In this message, Pastor Jimmy explores how we can bear one another’s burdens and help each other through some our most difficult seasons of life. Together, discover the power of community in overcoming life's trials.

Are you hanging on to the right things? Are you letting go of the right things? Where have you experienced resistance in your life? In this weekend’s message, Josiah Malinich uses the life of Moses as an example of how the resistance we face in our lives helps create perseverance and growth in our lives.

Sometimes it takes longer than we would like for God to move or speak. But we can trust that God knows things we do not and that His ways are always better than ours, even when we can’t see it in the natural. In this week's message, Pastor Stewart Martin talks about how to wait well when it gets long and how to believe that His timing is for our ultimate good?

Sometimes things don’t turn out as we had hoped. This can send us into a spiritual and emotional crisis if we don’t learn how to process our grief, receive God’s comfort, and trust in His goodness. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Steve Sabol talks about how to deal with disappointment.

Just as in human relationships, our fellowship with God can ebb and flow. It can be challenging to know if we are waiting on God of if He is waiting on us. We are encouraged to keep communicating with Him even when He feels far away. In this weekend's message, Pastor Renee Groff talks about how to press on in the dry spells until we find life in Him again.

People’s beliefs about us, our beliefs about ourselves, and expectations put on us by ourselves and others begin to define us. It’s like we have a sign hung over us like Jesus when He was on the cross. What would they put on your sign? This weekend, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about the moments that define us.

Sound doctrine should ultimately be reflected in our daily lives. How are our relationships and our decision-making shaped by the truth we profess to believe? Ultimately, our BELIEFS and our BEHAVIOR should align, because sound doctrine produces godliness. In this weekend's message, Pastor Joanna Nimon talks about practicing what you preach.

It is important that Christians know how to explain and defend what they believe. How do we relate to others who disagree with us, whether believers and unbelievers? It is vital that we maintain our testimony and display the nature of Christ even when having difficult conversations with others. In this week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to represent Jesus.

How do we practically pursue building sound doctrine into our lives? Is this attainable for “the average person”? If the Bible is helpful to make us thoroughly equipped for a life of serving God, then we should devote ourselves to its study. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon talks about how to study the Bible.

Sound doctrine sets a healthy, accurate foundation for our faith. This strengthens us to stand firm on what we know is true and to counter false doctrine. It gives us stability when spiritual attack comes our way. It brings unity among believers as we agree on the unchanging truth of God. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon kicks off our series, SOLID, by talking about the importance of sound doctrine for Christians.

Friendship is one of God’s finest gifts to us, but it can be challenging to forge meaningful relationships with others. In a day when independence and isolation are prevalent, how do we move from a place of loneliness to a place of genuine connection? This weekend, Sean Adams, Cheryl Adams, Jessica Witmeyer, and Pastor Renee Groff talk about how we can push past our fears to pursue and initiate friendship.

We can do more together than we can alone, but teamwork requires us to value those who have different ideas, personalities, and gifts than we do. Iron sharpens iron when we collaborate, but it is not always easy or comfortable. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Renee Groff continues our series, TOGETHER, by looking at the question, “How do we find value in collaboration and put the good of the whole above our personal gain?”

We were created to serve each other, to honor each other, and to enjoy each other. This weekend Pastor Toby Burris talks about the power of commitment and offers the challenge: “It’s starts with you.”

What does Jesus mean in Matthew 16 when He uses the Greek word “Ekklēsia” for the first time? Ekklēsia, or “church” as we know it in English, is the government of God on the earth. This week Kevin Eshleman kicks off our series, TOGETHER, by talking about the power of community within the church.

Though others in the Bible surely failed, perhaps no one’s failure was quite so personal and devastating as Peter’s. This weekend Ryan Deleon shared his powerful and moving testimony and looked at the question, “How does believing in God’s love and forgiveness help us move on from our failures and walk in restoration and redemption?”

The book of John is written so that we might believe in Jesus and have life through Him! This week, instead of looking at a passage of Scripture written by John, Pastor Jimmy takes a look at John’s life, to see what he might have experienced while maintaining his faith with perseverance.

Stories in the book of John that call us to deeper faith and trust in the Lord, to not just BELIEVE IN HIM, but to BELIEVE HIM. Those are two different things! This week Pastor Renee Groff talks about how to believe when things feel dead and we feel like there is no hope. 

When a person is desperate, they have little to no hope. No one choose desperate situations, but it we all face them at some points in our lives. These moments test our faith. In the week’s message, Pastor Jimmy Nimon addresses the question, “Is there a way forward where faith or trust in God increases instead of failing?”

Fasting is going without something as a way to clear out distractions to wholeheartedly devote yourself to seeking God. It is a way that to align ourselves with God - a high-powered turning. As we prepare for our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting that starts on January 7th, Pastor Jimmy Nimon leads a panel where members of Lifeway share their personal experiences with fasting.

How can we maintain hope and confidence in God, despite unexpected circumstances? In this week’s message, Aaron Patches talks about what it looks like when things don’t go the way we expected and how we can stay in a place of hope through faith in the midst of it all.
