Friend of Sinners | Week 4 | The Heart of the Issue | Pastor Tyler Sollie | Life Center Tacoma There are two ways to experience distance: Self-serving ACTIONS and self-righteous ATTITUDES Jesus came to save those who are BROKEN BY REBELLION and those who are BLINDED BY RELIGION. Luke 15:1-2, 11, 23-32 (CSB) ACTIONS can take you to a distant LAND. ATTITUDES can keep you in a distant and defensive POSTURE. The Father PURSUES BOTH the BRING us in to His joy. "For certain types of people, grace is not only amazing, it is also infuriating." -Kenneth Bailey Proverbs 4:23 (CSB) What am I most ANGRY about? Ephesians 4:26-27 (CSB) Who do I currently RESENT that I haven't carried in PRAYER?

Your BEST days are never so GOOD that you are outside of the NEED of God's grace.

A God of Justice | Josh Sperry | Life Center Tacoma

jhamm@life-center.org (Josh Sperry) — Sun, 7 Sep 2025 21:24:15 +0000

A God of Justice | Josh Sperry | Life Center Tacoma David was ANOINTED long before he was APPOINTED. God was shaping him in private before using him in public. Justice: Making things right according to God's character and design. Injustice: The abuse of power, the neglect of the vulnerable, or the failure to act when wrong is done. Psalms 89:11-14 (NIV) 1 Samuel 17:26 (NLT) Justice begins with seeing clearly David sees what others can't or won't, the vulnerable and the hurting [Ansel Adams Photo] "I just want people to see what I see" -Ansel Adams What cause is the Lord calling you to stand for? Justice is rooted in God's character, not human strength 1 Samuel 17:32-37 (NIV) Justice doesn't come from having power - it comes from knowing the God who defends the powerless. Injustice, by contrast, is always about power misused. Justice confronts evil courageously 1 Samuel 17:45-50 (NIV) Justice happens when ordinary people walk into hard places because they know God walks with them. Justice brings freedom and writes a larger story What is your cause? Are you willing? What are Goliath is standing in your way today? Are you willing to see what others are not? What is my something? How can you trust in God's character over your own strength?

Rest | Pastor Ryan Oletzke | Life Center Tacoma

jhamm@life-center.org (Ryan Oletzke) — Mon, 4 Jul 2022 02:34:14 +0000

Choose to make rest a non-negotiable rhythm in your life. Genesis 2:2 (NIV) Proverbs 3:7-8 (NIV) Rest is not vacating our reality - but reordering it around Christ. Rest is not the absence of activity - but the presence of partnership with the Lord. “If we have to resist rest to maintain momentum, it’s not the Lord’s energy we are trusting”. – Zack Eswine Rest is the foundation of work - not the other way around. Rest is best experienced from slowing - not always sprinting. Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) 2 invitations from Jesus: 1. Come to me. 2. Take my yoke upon you. “The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.” In other words, no one ever says, “If you want to be a great athlete, go vault eighteen feet, run the mile under four minutes,” or “If you want to be a great musician, play the Beethoven violin concerto.” Instead, we advise the young artist or athlete to enter a certain kind of overall life, one involving deep associations with qualified people as well as rigorously scheduled time, diet, and activity for the mind and body.” - Oswald Chambers

I will PAUSE in order to de-magnify the things that distract me in my faith and I will magnify the Lord this week. I will do this by ________. 4. I will be active and bold in my faith by inviting someone to join me next weekend (online or in person).

Forfeit your right to retaliate

"The tragedy of revenge is that so often it is the warm gulf waters over which hurricanes of violence will circle. Small winds of injustice, whether real or perceived, swirl about, each increasing and bringing about more retaliation. One act of revenge leads to another. With each rotation, the cycle picks up speed, and a full-scale storm begins. Before you know it, more are sucked into the violence, and the cycle gets bigger"

JESUS INVITES US IN TO EXPERIENCE HIS REST IN THE MIDST OF WORK

“In a culture where busyness is a fetish and stillness is laziness, rest is sloth.

And for that, you need to be still.”

Life comes to those who deserve death. Defeat is actually a victory. The end is really a beginning. Out of sorrow comes eternal celebration. The tomb is the place where new life begins.”
