Worship in The Sanctuary Livestream Celebration of Reformation Sunday... Many people experience a crisis of identity. There is value in questions of identity. Sometimes knowing who we are helps us know what to become! As we think today about heritage, I would like to explore one dimension of identity. A verse in the Book of Habakkuk can provide a reference point for that quest, Habakkuk 2:4: "The righteous man shall live by his faithfulness." Celebration of Reformation Sunday

Habakkuk’s insight is not new, but he expresses it in a new and unforgettable way. God’s answer to Habakkuk, as he waits before God, is that God can be trusted despite appearances to the contrary. Trust in God must be trust in God and not in any idea of God. Ideas of God, no matter how lofty or well intentioned, are too often human ideas and can become idols of the mind; and idolatry leads to death (Hab. 2:18-19). But for one who would be truly righteous, his hope for life lies in trust: The righteous person will live by his faithfulness.

Psalm 46 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. (Selah) 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns. 6 Th...e nations are in an uproar, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah) 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord; see what desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. 10 "Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth." 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah) See more

Message: Dr. Gustavo A. Crocker, A Message for the next Generation Message Reading: Joshua 24:13-18 13 I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you have lived in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’ 14 Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 If it is disagr...eeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. 16 The people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods; 17 for the LORD our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did these great signs in our sight and preserved us through all the way in which we went and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed. 18 The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our God. See more

We are very excited to celebrate 125 years of ministry in Los Angeles. Countless lives have been blessed through the ministries begun by Phineas Bresee and J.P. Widney. Millions have been transformed through the work of the global ministries that began, in part, right here in LA. Today, LAFE shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ through multicultural worship, compassionate ministry, youth ministry, and outreach. Every week we impact the lives of children and teenagers through our... sports ministry. Our compassionate ministries provide hot meals, showers, and food. Our addiction recovery ministries help people break the cycles of addiction, poverty, and violence. At the center of it all, we proclaim the Gospel message, which is the only way to transform lives from the inside out. As we celebrate 125 years, we are inviting you to help us move forward into the future. The board of LAFE has established an Anniversary Ministry and Operational Endowment that will help ensure our ability to tell the next generation the praises of the Lord (Ps. 78:4).
