Worship Center

We are a church desiring to know Jesus, grow together, and serve our world. 🙏

Yesterday, Pastor Matt talked us through what it looks like to be engaged in our church's mission and what it truly means to be growing followers of Jesus. Every follower of Jesus has the opportunity and responsibility to participate in the mission of Jesus. Knowing Jesus starts with being spiritually born-again, growing together means finding your part as a member of the body, and serving our world means being a witness of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

How is the Holy Spirit prompting you to participate in his mission right now?

Every follower of Jesus has the opportunity and responsibility to participate in the mission of Jesus! 👉 Join us tomorrow as Pastor Matt unfolds this topic and we gather together to worship Jesus.

Nothing replaces being together as the Body of Christ and is such an important part of being a follower of Jesus. Let's seek his presence together, support one another on our walks with Jesus, and be encouraged and challenged to become more like him. We love you church!

See you tomorrow at 9 and 11 AM!

This Sunday was filled with so many beautiful stories of lives changed by Jesus Christ. Our testimonies reveal the power of Jesus at work. We thank God for all 27 of you who took the step to get baptized and are now experiencing the unmatched joy of choosing a relationship with Jesus – letting him reshape your lives to more greatly reflect Himself. Baptism Sunday is truly a special time to see how God is moving within the Body of Christ and individuals in our church! 😭🙌

"And now, after a few decades of following Jesus, I realize the cost is even more clear."

Throughout this eight-week series, we took time to more deeply understand Jesus's teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. Yesterday, Pastor Matt wrapped up the series by talking about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and truly counting the cost of following him. We also got to witness and celebrate with so many in our church who decided to take a next step in their walk with Jesus by getting baptized!

The life of truly following Jesus is a narrow road. Following Jesus also means surrendering to him as Lord. Our lives will look different compared to most people and require much sacrifice of our own ways. But it also means having joy unspeakable, peace surpassing understanding, and great purpose for everyday life that comes from the Lord and not the temporary things of this world.

Have you counted the cost of following Jesus?

That's a wrap on Serve Week with Worship Center Outreach ! All week long, our church took the time to serve different organizations and those in need in our local community. We did projects like packing food, sewing clothes and personal care products, helping widows with house projects, cleaning, fixing, and doing yard work needed on different properties, and the list goes on.

As a church, we desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving others—whether that be across the globe or right here in our local community. We are grateful for all the opportunities we had this week to meet the needs of our neighbors right here in Lancaster and for those of you who joined us in this effort. May this past week spur us on to continue reaching out to love and serve those around us—just like Jesus.

We love you, church!

Tomorrow is Baptism Sunday – these mornings are always so special. We get to hear stories and celebrate with individuals in our church who have chosen a relationship with Jesus and have experienced Christ reshaping their lives from the inside out. Hearing people's testimonies reminds us who our God is. It strengthens us, encourages us, and unites us as the body of Christ to worship Jesus for who he is and what he's done for us. There's nothing sweeter than getting to be in the presence of the Lord. Let's do it together this Sunday at our 9 and 11 AM services. 🙌☀️

If you cannot be with us on-site, you can join us online on Facebook, YouTube, and Worshipcenter.org/live.

How refreshing it was to spend time in the presence of the Lord together yesterday. 🙌🔥

Thank you, Pastor Don, for a message that really challenged us in how we view others, what it looks like to have a persistent prayer life, and how to truly live out the Golden Rule: "Do to others what you would like them to do to you" (Matthew 7:12). This was week 8 of our series through the Sermon on the Mount.

➡️ As you continue to reflect on this week's message, we encourage you to:

🏔️Take some time to ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal where you might be judgmental towards others.
🏔️Consider how the words of Jesus may be stirring you to be bolder and more persistent in your prayers.
🏔️Ask God how he's calling you to live out the Golden Rule this week.

Tomorrow, we will worship Jesus! We'll seek his presence together. 🙌 We'll learn how to keep growing into image-bearers of Jesus as we continue our series through The Sermon On The Mount. Pastor Don will share what Jesus taught about judging others, persistent prayer, and the golden rule.🌟

We can't wait to be with you tomorrow—we'll see you at 9 and 11 AM! If you cannot be here in person, feel free to tune in with us online on Facebook, YouTube, or at worshipcenter.org/live.

"Truly trusting God as our provider comes from a heart that is rooted in seeking the Kingdom above all else and living righteously." 👏👏👏

Thank you, Pastor Dustin, for sharing with us yesterday about what Jesus taught on money, possessions, and worry! ➡️ The world is dominated by thoughts of worry and tempted by the consumption of the riches of this world. But, as followers of Jesus, scripture teaches us that God is our provider and that we cannot serve two masters – we either are serving God or money.

God desires for us to live a life fully devoted to him – loving him and seeking the reward of living in obedience to him – just like Jesus did. Then, we will experience deeply rooted peace and freedom from worry over the many things of this world that dominate the thoughts of those who are not followers of Jesus.⚡️⚡️⚡️

What does it mean to trust God as our provider, and what did Jesus teach us about money, possessions, and worry? Pastor Dustin will be sharing on this tomorrow at church as we continue our journey through The Sermon On The Mount. 🏔️⚡️👏

See you tomorrow at 9 and 11 AM! Enjoy your Saturday.☀️😎

When we do good deeds and when we pray, Jesus warns us to examine the motives of our own hearts. It's very easy to do good things and to even pray, for the wrong reasons. When we do good, may we desire God to get the glory, not ourselves. When we pray, may we fully rely on our unchanging, good God – not looking for a desired outcome from him. 🙏🙌

Thank you, Pastor Heather, for continuing our journey through The Sermon on the Mount yesterday with an encouraging and challenging message around Matthew 6:1-18 NLT.

Church, this week, we encourage you to ask God how he may be prompting you from this message. What is he asking you to do? How is he prompting you to grow into more of the image of Christ?☀️

Here's what we're digging into tomorrow at church ⬇️.

We don't pray simply looking for a desired outcome. Instead, we pray fully reliant on a good God.

Pastor Heather will continue our series in The Sermon on the Mount on the topic of prayer, the outcome, and our heart posture in it all. We'll also be taking communion together. We would love for you to gather with us on-site or online as we seek Jesus together. We'll see you tomorrow, church! ⛪️

Happy Fourth of July from Worship Center! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As a church, we thank Jesus that we have the ability to freely worship him in our Country. May we use this freedom to spread the good news of Jesus everywhere we go!

Thank you Jesus for the freedom in our country to boldly proclaim your name – may we not take it for granted. Today, may we fix our eyes on you, the one who gives us ultimate freedom.

"God has given us the task of reconciling people to Christ."

Yesterday, Pastor Dustin continued our series about The Sermon On The Mount. It was an encouraging and challenging message as we looked at what Jesus taught about revenge and loving our enemies. Loving our enemies is anything but easy; it requires complete surrender to Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit within us. But if we, as a Church, can truly love our enemies with Christ's love, we will impact the world around us by helping people be reconciled to Christ – showing others the same love that Christ first showed us. If we are truly followers of Jesus, we will want our enemies in the Kingdom of God.

There is healing available through Jesus from those who have hurt or wronged us. There is power available through the Holy Spirit to extend mercy and grace to our enemies and truly love them. Is God prompting you to forgive and extend his love to someone who has wronged you?

If we're all honest, we have all had people in our lives that have been challenging to love.

🏔️Tomorrow, Pastor Dustin will continue to uncover the foundation Jesus laid for how the Kingdom of God operates. Pastor Dustin will share what Jesus taught about revenge and loving our enemies.

We'll see you tomorrow, on-site and online, to seek the Lord's presence together and be challenged and encouraged to become more like Christ as we follow him. Will you be there?☀️

What a great week of VBS last week! ☀️🏖️😎

Nearly 500 students filled the church all week long for times of worship, fun activities, and times of learning about Jesus.

We count it a great blessing and joy to share the good news of Jesus with the next generations, helping them grow in their understanding of who he is and how to follow him from a young age. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers that made VBS a reality!

What was your kids' favorite part of VBS? Share with us below! 💬 😃

This morning, Pastor Don continued our series on the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus raised the bar on how we should live as believers. The only way to live up to that standard is to align ourselves with God’s heart and his design for our lives. God is also just and full of compassion. When we fall short, we can repent and turn back to Him.
