It's important to prayer to God in order to know what God's will is for your life. But it's even more important to have a heart of surrender in order to follow God's will for you life. Join us as Brian Sedlacek examines Jesus' prayer in the Garden during the final hours leading up to his crucifixion in which he prays to follow God's ultimate purpose for his life.

We've discussed the need to reach the next generation and we've looked at where we need to make investments, now, in the series finale of FourTwelve its time to discover how we can most effectively reach them.

Investing in the next generation by coaching and training them in leadership.

Investing in the next generation by investing in families.

At FBCLA we love to invest in the next generation! We believe our youth are not just the church of the future, but rather the youth can be leaders in the church today! This series is about casting a vision on how collectively we can come together as a church family to 1) reach the youth and young families in Los Alamos for Jesus AND 2) strengthen your own relationship with Jesus in the process. www.fbc-la.org

It’s difficult for us to understand how much we matter unless we go back to the beginning of creation when God set all of this in motion. God said it was good. He saw Himself in what He had made in humanity. God could call us lots of things. But He chooses to call us His children. It means you matter. www.fbc-la.org

Setting the Table is a deliberate and detailed process that makes any meal special. In our personal lives if we Set the Table properly, we can expect a special 2016. Join us as we explore how to Set the Table for a healthy family, marriage and financial life. www.fbc-la.org

We are wired to love others. www.fbc-la.org

Truth cannot be defined in terms of relativity…There must be an absolute. By claiming there are no absolutes, you have (yourself) made an absolute statement (there are absolutely no absolutes). It is very difficult in today’s world to come to an understanding of what Truth is. So as we are confronted with TRUTH with a capital T….what are we to do with the person called Jesus? Secular claims of who Christ is/was: A good teacher, A good philosopher, A nice man. Christ does not give us those option. He is either: a Liar, Lunatic, Lord. Which is he to you? www.fbc-la.org

We are wired to love and worship God. www.fbc-la.org

It’s difficult for us to understand how much we matter unless we go back to the beginning when God set all of this in motion. God said it was good. He saw Himself in what He had made. Loving God seems like something God would ask us to do. But you probably don’t expect Him to say it’s as big of a deal as loving yourself. Loving ourselves has nothing to do with elevating ourselves over other people. Loving ourselves means that we believe we matter. God could call us lots of things. But He chooses to call us His children. It means you matter. www.fbc-la.org

The third step to discerning God's will for your life is Enjoying God. When you seek God wholeheartedly and obey when He speaks, God will transform your heart to take joy in everything he has to offer. This type of joy can only come from through a relationship with Jesus and he offers it freely to anyone who believes in him. www.fbc-la.org

The second step to discerning God's will for your life is Trusting God. The more you trust and obey God as He speaks to you the more you will grow in your faith. But you can't just trust Him in some areas of your life, you must Him in ALL your ways.www.fbc-la.org

The first step to discerning God's will for your life is Seeking God. As you seek God humbly, wholeheartedly, and by removing your agenda, God will start to speak, lead you and do immeasurably more than all you can ask or imagine! www.fbc-la.org

Man's greatness is limited. God's greatness is limitless.

Sometimes we see poverty as only a money thing, but in reality poverty is so much more. With a median household income of $106,00+ Los Alamos is extremely blessed financially, but could we still be experiencing poverty other areas of our lives? And if so, how can we work together to eliminate it?

Experiencing the grace of God in our own lives compels us to help others experience the grace of God in their own lives.

As we look back at 2013 and are thankful to God for all of His blessings (through the good and the bad) there is definitely reason to have hope has we move forward in 2014.
