City Life Center, Fort Worth

The plant explosion in West has captured our attention and saddened our hearts. We are able to respond, though.

City Life Center is a part of the Response & Relief Network, and you are encouraged to work directly through them. If anyone would like to volunteer, please go directly to the Response & Relief Volunteer Registration site.

The greatest need right now is blood. If you are willing to donate blood, please go through Carter Blood Care.

During a disaster it is our process to partner with local pastors and churches who are in close proximity to the disaster. This allows us to help meet many of the practical needs that might otherwise go overlooked by outside organizations unfamiliar with the unique needs and rhythms of a community. Ultimately, our goal is to bring glory to Jesus while meeting the needs of the hurting.

You will also be glad to know that our friends,  Chaplains Nathan and Cindy Timmerman, are currently in West.  They are connecting with the  churches and other concerned leaders to help provide counseling and to see that the needs of individuals and families are being met.

Pray for West.

Sincerely,

Pastor Tim

Many Christians find themselves at a loss for understanding God’s master plan for creation and the universe. Therefore, City Life Center is presenting a series of messages showing us how we fit into God’s master plan. The series is entitled, An Update Is Available.

Pastor Tim be tackling questions such as:

• Why did God need to come into this world, walk around in human flesh, suffer a horrific death, and be resurrected?
• What is really available to me through the resurrection of Jesus Christ?
• How does sin impact my life, both now and in eternity?
• What do we really have to look forward to as followers of Christ?
• What are the problems and consequences associated with not choosing to follow Jesus?

Find out how a simple choice to receive “an update” can change everything.

Discover God’s master plan in this new series, An Update Is Available: Sundays, now through April 21 at 11:00 AM.

Event #2: Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price at Marketplace Church

12:10-12:50 PM, Friday, April 26

It will be our final Friday for the Spring Term at Marketplace Church, and we’re ending with a message from Fort Worth’s top elected official on the topic of integrity.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet our mayor and ask questions.

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – Jesus Christ (John 16:33)

Pain Happens! Problems come! And I don’t “like” it either. No one really ENJOYS pain, right?

But, we can’t read the Bible without seeing pain and problems occurring over and over and over.

Just because you are “good” or just because you have chosen to have strong character and integrity doesn’t mean afflictions will never come your way.

The truth is, we live in an imperfect world where good and evil co-exists. Sometimes we bring bad things upon ourselves due to decisions, attitudes, actions, words spoken, etc, and we suffer the resulting pain and problems.

But, just because you are suffering problems and pain does not indicate that you are evil either! Bad things DO happen to good people. Problems and pain come and go. In fact, they are intended to make us stronger.

The good news is that Jesus tells us to “take heart”, because he has already overcome the world. To “take heart” is to take control of our thoughts and emotions. So, in the midst of your problems and pain, refuse to be overtaken by negative thoughts, self-destructive emotions, fear, regret, guilt, etc. Instead, move forward with the help of Jesus, the one who has already overcome the pain and problems of this world!
