In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2

How fascinating, that God would speak first through the prophets, and only later through his Son. Before God spoke through Jesus, he spoke through the prophets He called and appointed. What’s intriguing to me is that God appointed prophets over the course of centuries to declare God’s final word in Jesus.

The virgin birth, Bethlehem, the branch, a wonderful counselor – Almighty God. These were all foretold, long before Jesus’ birth. It was the job of a prophet to point the way. It makes sense that Jesus would later say that he did not come to abolish the law or the prophets, but to fulfill them.

The question is, “Is there anything left that we might learn from these old prophets since we live at a time after Christ birth?
It’s important to remember that the prophets are not the end of the faith conversation, but near the beginning. The beginning of any conversation helps to better understand the end, the final word is illuminated by the first. In other words, what the prophets said about Jesus help us to understand who He is and why He came.

We hope you’ll join us as we discover Jesus through the eyes of Isaiah and the prophets.

On January 22, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday of January (or close to that) as National Sanctity of Human Life Day.

Pastors, churches and life organizations across the United States use this day to bring awareness to the attacks that are daily waged against human life through the abortion industry.

One of the best ways we can protect unborn lives is by bringing into the light the darkness of abortion, and supporting local Pregnancy Help Organizations who daily reach women and families with messages of hope and life.

LifeSpring is planning a Child Dedication Service on January 26th at the 10:15am worship service.

As believers, we are called to recognize that children belong first and foremost to God. God in his goodness gives children as gifts to parents. They not only have the awesome responsibility of caring for this gift, but also the wonderful privilege of enjoying the gift. Because children belong to God and are given by grace as gifts to parents, it is only proper and appropriate that children be dedicated back to God.

Want to dedicate your child(ren) to the Lord? Contact us via email.

Children are a gift from God.

Psalm 127:3 proclaims that,

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
