A Word from Pastor Mike…

            At La Sierra Baptist Church (LSBC) we are learning what it means to be created in the image of God. And a very big part of understanding this is discovering our purpose in life – why we are here, and what brings us true fulfillment in life. Jesus said, “My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.” John 10:10b (TLB). We believe that the answers to all of life’s questions are found only in Jesus Christ because God sent Him to clear up some things that we were unable to do ourselves.  Let me explain.

            When I bought my new computer, I got it out of the package, hooked it all up, and plugged it in. I was immediately able to do all that I had done previously on my old computer. But I was told that there was so much more that my new computer could do. I just didn’t know how to apply all the other features. So, of course, I went to the manufacturer’s instruction manual. In the same way, I have discovered that there is much more to life than I had previously known. So I had to go to the manufacturer’s instruction manual for my life – the Bible.

            Our desire at LSBC is to discover and apply the principles of God’s Word that will allow God to transform our lives by His grace. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, we can bring glory to God – the very reason for which we were created – and in doing so, discover our purpose in life.

            We at La Sierra Baptist Church hope that you will come and discover with us what Jesus called “the abundant life.”
