Welcome, please click below for the video welcome message.
Greetings Lusaka Community Church,
We are encouraged that you are joining with us in worship of our God today. I know I always say this, but it truly is special that we get to connect as a body of Believers from all across the world praising our Lord and Saviour.
Today as we continue in our sermon series in Acts, I want to read a short section of 1 Corinthians Chapter Twelve. Paul is sharing with the Corinthians, the different roles and giftings the Spirit gives to the members of the Church and how all are essential for the function of the Body. Let us read verses twelve and thirteen:
12 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 (NASB)
This morning as Augustine preaches, we will see that we are all baptized into one body by the Holy Spirit. We are brothers and sisters and each have a role to play in the Kingdom of Heaven. I encourage us this week to seek out the gifting, purpose and calling the Spirit has equipped us for and continue to seek opportunities to serve in the body of believers to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven and make disciples of every nation.
Let us pray.

Prayer
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob.Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
8 Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory.Selah.
- Psalm 24 (NASB)
Rejoice in the Lord.

Giving
As we seek to call a full-time pastor to LCC, we are asking all regular members to join with us in sharing a commitment of giving to the church. We, Elders, are utilizing a simple pledge form, that will only be viewed by the Eldership and does not require you to include your name. If you are able to commit to regular giving, please click on the following link and complete the form: Pledge Form
We will be sharing more about the financial situation of the church and the importance of consistent giving for the stewardship of the ministries of LCC and the calling of a full-time pastor. Thank you for your prayers and commitment to the church body.
If you feel led to give to the church, you are encouraged to use online transfer facilities (wire, mobile, & bank). Though we currently do not offer direct debit or credit card donations, some have found TransferWise to be a helpful platform for transferring money locally or internationally (minimal transaction fees).
If you are unable to use contactless methods, you can still drop-off your offering at the church office during regular working hours. You can confirm any details with the church administrator by calling, texting, or WhatsApp: +260966800100
