Current series | The Best Life

Good, better, best? Which word describes your life? Do you have a good life? Do you wish for a better life? Are you searching for the best life? What even is ‘the best life’? There are many who are quick to tell us what it is. But what does it look like? How do you measure it? How do you know when you get there? Where do you find it? One thing is sure, we all desire it. These questions are not new. Neither are they are secret. The Old Testament writers share the wisdom of God’s heart so we don’t just have to settle for a good life or long for a better life, but can truly experience the best life right now. A life of Truth, Generosity, Integrity, Work & Thankfulness. Join us for this five week series.

About Us

Dear LifeWay family,

What an amazing journey LifeWay has been on so far. To see God’s power at work through ordinary people, prepared to move, serve and do ministry together is wonderfully exciting. To see the unity, generosity, and faith-filled willingness to ‘have a go’ is truly inspiring. It is incredibly humbling to be part of a community who are

LIVING Jesus' love | SHARING His hope with all | GROWING in grace together

So are you ready to ‘take-off’ on the next decade of our journey at LifeWay and see what God has planned for us and through us? You are not here by accident. God has led you to this place, at this time, with your gifts to be part of realising the vision to which he has called us. To be A vibrant, multi-ethnic Christian Church equipping and empowering disciples of all ages in advancing his Kingdom locally and globally, by living fully, sharing boldly, and growing purposefully in the life-transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

God has given you a boarding pass to go on a journey:

- Beyond where you have been before.

- Beyond the limits you have imposed on yourselves.

- Beyond the limits you have let others impose on you.

For as we believe the truth of Jesus, practice the way of Jesus, and grow in the life of Jesus we can step out boldly in faith and trust knowing: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 2 Corinthians 2:9

ONE MISSION ... making disciples of all nations

ONE COMMUNITY ... serving and impacting in multiple locations

MANY JOURNEYS ... celebrating each person’s unique giftedness

TOGETHER – living, sharing and growing

LifeWay, you’re cleared for Take-Off! Which plane will you board? What stopovers will you make? How far will you let his love take you?

God, prepare our hearts for what you have for us next and give us a heart of faith to go where you call us to go. Amen.

Handy Helpers

Let’s roll up our sleeves and help those in need!

Give a few hours and show practical love and care to some of our most vulnerable neighbours in Ryde by helping with cleaning, gardening, and other basic household tasks.

This friendly neighbourhood working bee will be focused on a social housing location in Ryde. You don’t need any special skills to be part of this activity! Just a willingness to serve in practical ways.

We’ll be working in teams, so you’ll have plenty of support including from experienced leaders from Link Wentworth and The Salvation Army.

Here’s some of the things we will do on the day:

- Help residents with basic cleaning and gardening tasks that they find difficult

- Help with some basic household tasks like changing lightbulbs for residents who can’t do this themselves

- Help care for the common areas of properties

We’re currently looking volunteers for Monday 25 November from 10.30am until 2pm-ish. If you’d love to be involved, please get in touch!

Note on venue: Please note that the exact venue for this activity will be shared with volunteers after they have registered. It will be a location in the City of Ryde.

Today's verse & thought to ponder ...

NOV

TITUS 2:7-8

In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
