Beyond Sunday: Living Out What We Hear
Here, we dig deeper into Scripture, reflect on what it means to live out God’s truth, and encourage one another to make sure what we believe is firmly rooted in His Word. Following Jesus is not only about showing up to church. It is about walking with Him every day of the week.
The heart of Beyond Sunday is simple:
To help you come home to God’s truth, carry it into your home, and live it out wherever you go.
Read along, think deeply, ask questions, and take your next step of faith. Together, we can be a church family that not only listens to God’s Word but lives it every day, beyond Sunday.
The Danger of Sitting and Soaking
It’s easy to get comfortable in church. Show up. Sit down. Listen. Leave. Do it again next week. And slowly, without realizing it, your faith starts to feel dry. Not because God isn’t moving. But because nothing is flowing out of you. Jesus said: John 7:38 (ESV)...
You Are Not Giftless
Some people believe a lie. They look around and see others teaching, singing, leading, serving… and quietly assume, “I don’t have anything like that.” But God doesn’t make empty people. 1 Peter 4:10 (ESV) “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as...
Don’t Waste What You Can’t Keep
You cannot keep your time. You cannot hold onto your life. Every day that passes is gone for good. That reality can feel heavy, but it’s also freeing. Because it reminds us that what we do today actually matters. When you invest your time in things that last,...
Busy Isn’t the Problem
Most of us feel busy. We have schedules, responsibilities, and demands pulling us in every direction. But busyness isn’t always the problem. Sometimes, the real issue is what we’ve chosen to fill our time with. We say we don’t have time for God, for people, or for the...
You Have 168 Hours. Now What?
Every single one of us has the same amount of time each week. 168 hours. Some feel like it flies by. Others feel like it drags on. But no matter how it feels, it’s the same. The difference is not how much time we have. It’s what we do with it. Time is one of the...
The Freedom of Living Open-Handed
It sounds backward. Give more. Hold less. Trust more. But that’s the way of Jesus. The world tells us to protect what we have. Build more. Keep more. Control more. Jesus tells us to trust Him. When you realize that everything you have comes from God, you don’t have to...
What Are You Holding On To?
We all hold onto something. Control. Comfort. Time. Money. Plans. The problem isn’t that we have these things. The problem is when we refuse to release them. Jesus said you can’t serve two masters. At some point, something has to give. When we hold tightly to this...
Why Generosity Is Essential to Your Spiritual Growth
Generosity is not a side topic in the Christian life. It is part of how God shapes us. Jesus didn’t talk about money and treasure because He needed something. He talked about it because He knew what it revealed. Our hearts follow what we hold onto. When we live with...
The Door Is Stuck Open and You Don’t Have to Earn Your Way In
This is not a country club. I want to be really clear about that. Lake Lynn Baptist Church is not a place for people who have it all together. It is a hospital for people who are sick and lost and hurting and looking for something real. And the something real is...
Whatever Door You’re Hiding Behind, He Walks Through It
The disciples did everything they could think of to feel safe after the crucifixion. They found a room. They locked the doors. They stayed together and stayed quiet and tried to figure out what to do next. And Jesus walked right through the locked door and stood among...
God Fixed the Game Before You Knew You Needed Him
I want to tell you something that I think gets lost in all the Easter Sunday excitement. God was not surprised by any of this. Not by Adam and Eve at the tree. Not by the cross. Not by the empty tomb. He did not scramble at the last minute to put together a rescue...
What Door Is God Calling You Through
Jesus walked through some hard doors. Betrayal by one of His closest friends. A rigged trial in the middle of the night. Beatings that should have killed Him before they even got to the cross. And finally, the cross itself, the most brutal form of execution the Roman...
