LHF This Week: Mar. 22- 29, 2026

Hello, Late March!

As we near the end of March, we’re reminded of the importance of staying rooted in Christ as we prepare our hearts for the Easter season. This is a time to reflect, to grow, and to fix our eyes more fully on Jesus and the work He has done for us.

In this week’s edition, you’ll find a Sunday Worship recap, upcoming events, this week’s Bible reading plan, and our updated prayer list. Let’s take a look at what’s happening around Living Hope Fellowship.

Sunday Worship Recap

We gathered together this Sunday to worship the Lord and continue our study through the book of Colossians.

Pastor Derek preached “Is He Worthy? Part Two”, continuing from Colossians 1:24–2:3.

This message built on last week’s reminder that Christ’s supremacy calls us to lives of sacrifice and devotion. We were challenged again to consider what it truly means to live for Christ in light of who He is and what He has done.

As Paul models faithful endurance and service, we are reminded that the Christian life is not always easy—but it is always worth it because Jesus is worthy.

This message encouraged us to continue examining our lives and asking whether we are truly living in a way that reflects Christ’s worth.

If you missed the sermon, you can listen or watch anytime on our website, podcast platform, or YouTube channel.

Looking Ahead

As we approach Easter, may we continue asking the question we’ve been challenged with these past weeks: Is He worthy?

Scripture makes the answer clear—Jesus is worthy of our lives, our devotion, and our worship.

Let’s continue to seek Him together in the days ahead as we prepare our hearts for all that this season represents.

We look forward to seeing you this week and—Lord willing—again this Sunday for worship.

Until then, may the Lord bless you, strengthen you, and fill your home with His peace.
