Pastor Joe Wittwer talks about three things he hopes will inspire and equip you to have a personal, real, and practical relationship with God. First, God loves you deeply and created you for a love relationship. Second, God pursues you relentlessly and initiates the relationship. Third, God calls you to respond and enjoy the relationship. Life is about relationships. The most important thing in life is a love relationship with God. And what’s remarkable is that God wants a love relationship with you! Now, the thing God wants from you more than anything else is to love Him with all you have!

Your Relationship With God

When you experience God you’ll be faced with this reality: God is working all around you all the time. In John 5:17 Jesus says, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working”. To understand the ways in which God is working all around us first, we must be aware of how God works. Second, we need to be on the lookout for God working in our lives. Next, look for how God is working in others and tell them! Finally, there is nothing more important than joining God where he is working. Join us as we experience God at work together!

God Is Working All Around You

Knowing about God is different than experiencing God. Many Christians know about God but, simply knowing about God will leave you unsatisfied. Christianity is an invitation to an interactive relationship between God and people. A God-centered life is focused on these ingredients: God’s presence, voice, love, and purpose. Join us over the next weeks as we help you take steps toward living a God-centered life by committing to your own spiritual growth!

Ingredients for a God-Centered Life

In week 4 of the series, Winning the War in Your Mind, we focus on the power of prayer and praise in the Rejoice Principle. Your mind is a battlefield and Satan is attacking. Prayer and praise are not alternatives to the battle you’re fighting, they’re your weapon. Whatever is on your mind, we are reassured that it’s on God’s heart. Let this truth sink in: if it’s big enough to worry about, it’s big enough to pray about. Don’t allow the presence of problems in your life to cause you to lose focus on the presence of God. Prayer and praise go hand in hand and reminds us of God’s presence. Join us as we turn to God in prayer when our problems cause us to panic.

Prayer and Praise

Week 3 of the series, Winning the War in Your Mind, focuses on this concept: change your thoughts, change your life through the Reframing Principle. Our thoughts lead us in all sorts of directions because we have lenses that distort reality. You currently have a lens or a thought paradigm that’s separating you from Jesus. So, ask yourself this question: are my strongest thoughts leading me closer to Jesus or away from him? If you want to win the war in your mind and establish a close relationship with Jesus, you have to understand the Reframing Principle. Join us as we learn how to recognize our lens, and reframe our perspective toward Jesus.

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

Week 2 of the series, Winning the War in Your Mind, is all about how to change your way of thinking through the rewire principle. Based on the book, “Winning the War in Your Mind” by Craig Groeschel, Pastor Amy Miller teaches us that we must rewire our brains to renew our minds. If we want to win the war in our minds, we have to be willing to rewire our thought patterns and rewire our brains. Join us as we learn how to change our ways of thinking and fix our thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8).

How To Change Your Way of Thinking

Based on the book, “Winning the War in Your Mind,” by Craig Groeschel, comes a new sermon series at Life Center church. Currently, we are all battling a war in our minds. Biblical wisdom and modern science agree--what you think determines who you become. Week 1 of this series is all about the Replacement Principle--Remove the lies, replace with truth. Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Join us as we work to identify and remove the lies in our minds and replace them with biblical truth!

Winning The War In Your Mind

From Mark 12, Pastor Michael Wittwer teaches the most important commandment: to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. We live in complicated times, but following Jesus is simple! Love God with your whole being and love people as yourself. This week's sermon is centered around love awards where we shout out people who are loving Jesus and loving others well in our community! Love is doing what's best for another, no matter what it costs you.

What is Most Important?

Continuing the series, “Love This City,” Pastor Michael Wittwer brings Life Center Church a sermon on generosity and 4 habits of a generous heart.

4 Habits of a Generous Heart

Continuing our series, “Love This City”, Pastor Michael Wittwer says that worship is fixing our attention and affection on Jesus for who he is and what he’s done. It’s not just singing songs together, its living life centered on Jesus.

How To Worship God

Today we are talking about the Imaging Community. We are saying what we should DO is love our city, but first we need to know who we ARE. Because what you do flows out of who you are. So we could talk about this and do Love Week and have it just be a one time thing we do, or we can learn about and step into our identity as the imaging community and see that who we’ve been created to be is a community that is called to be deeply incarnational in the lives, structures, organizations and systems in our city to partner with God in the work of redemption. We’re gonna find it’s not just what we’re called to do, it’s actually who we are created to be!

The Imaging Community

There are unpredictable moments in life when the clouds part and we see what really matters. Watching a movie or a sunset. Attending a funeral, witnessing a birth. Sometimes when we face our mortality, we see what’s most important. Jesus faces his immanent death John 17, and while facing death he prays with incredible clarity about what really matters.

How Jesus Prayed

Jesus said "Take heart, I am with you always, and I have overcome the world." Yes, trouble persists, but like darkness fades as the sun rises, so trouble will fade away and cease to exist when Jesus returns.

In Him

Remain and Abide in Jesus. That is what he asks you to do in John 15, then he will do the rest. Then watch how he will bear the fruit in you.

Abide in Me

Jesus came to make you more alive! He said, “I’ve come that you might have life and have it to the full!” That’s what we’ve found in Jesus and want others to find. We help people find and follow Jesus.
