    Foundation: Part V
    Feb 22 2026
    Do you struggle with the concept of God's wrath? Join pastor Brian Pursley as he examines Romans chapter 3 and its commentary on righteousness. Though we may struggle to understand how a loving God can also be wrathful, we recognize that, in order for God to show His righteousness, sin must have consequences. If God has no wrath, and does not judge, there is ultimately no penalty for even the worst crimes. Since God's righteous judgment shows no partiality, how blessed are we who count on Jesus' sacrifice for our redemption!

    Foundation: Part III
    Feb 8 2026
    May we never presume that, judging others, we will avoid judgment ourselves! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he shares both the sobering and encouraging truth of God's impartiality. Romans 2:9 says, "There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil," but verses 10 and 11 say, "but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good... For God shows no partiality." What a blessing it is to be counted among those who are righteous, and it is all thanks to the mercy and grace of God!

    Growing: Part 5
    Jul 14 2024
    God's ways are so much greater than our ways. We become dependent on ourselves and our own abilities, and are driven by the idea that we have to reach our full potential. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as we investigate Jesus withdrawing himself away from everything in the wilderness for 40 days. Spend time praying within isolation. Create spiritual discipline, by finding a place where you can be in that isolation everyday. God frequently communicates with us, and sometimes it's very obvious. More often than not though, he is more subtle and whispers. Create a space where you can hear that.

    All creation declares the glory of God! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he contrasts the foolishness of those who deny the existence of the Creator with those who worship the God who made all that we can see. Romans 1:8 says, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth." This is a harsh reality, but we serve a righteous God. And how wonderful it is that He provides a way for us to be called righteous, through the perfect life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ!

    The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus changed everything. In an instant eternity was altered and hope was delivered to all who would accept his sacrifice. Why is our salvation necessary? What does it accomplish? How was it made possible? How does it impact us? How should it shape us? How will it change not only us, but the world? Join us as we investigate the book of Romans and explore a foundation for our beliefs and convictions, rooted in the completed work of Christ.

    Mission: Part 8
    Jan 11 2026
    The hosts of Heaven joyfully celebrate the salvation of each and every lost soul! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he reads the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin. Jesus was known for His unbiased love towards the lost, even those who were societal outcasts. The religious elite were condescending in their view, asking, "Why does Jesus associate with these undesirable people?" But God's capacity for love allows Him to care for each and every person in the human race. What a merciful and loving God we serve! As a new year begins, we continue striving after this vision: helping people move one step closer to Jesus and reaching those far from Him. Happy new year from Lakeside Community Church!
