Making the World a Better Place
At Lawson Rd Church of Christ in Greece, NY we help individuals and families know God, grow, and make friends, within a diverse community. We share a common passion to express and expand God’s love in our community.
Because of the dramatic difference our faith makes in our lives, we are convinced that God provides answers to all the world’s problems. As we encourage each other to embody the character of God, people around us will also experience the overflow of God’s goodness.
RESCUE:
He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
RECONCILE:
Not only is Jesus serious about crossing boundaries to pursue us, but he’s also equally serious about our crossing boundaries to pursue others.
LOVE GOD:
Christian spirituality is falling in love with the God we see in Christ.
2021 Church Theme
New Directions
As we all re-emerge from our pandemic isolation, many things look familiar, but different.
Our sermon theme this year studies the book of Acts. This book describes the spread of the Good News about Jesus in the early years after Jesus’ death and resurrection. The apostles and other disciples traveled through a world that was familiar, but now looked different due to their faith in Jesus.
This theme invites us over the course of the year consider our priorities. Which of our past practices and ideas don’t seem as important any more? And which values does God want us to emphasize in our “new world”?
“I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.” Acts 10:34-35
