Gresham House Church
living hope
I know that there have been a lot of changes recently with the LHC main web site down, the launching of lhcfishers.com, and the campus blog changing hands from blogger to wordpress. Let me quickly run through what is happening and what isn't.
Hey all,
The Bible speaks to us that “without a vision a people perish,” that said, with vision people thrive, people flourish, people are driven to take on the world. Last night was an incredible time to simply sit back, and recapture a vision for what campuses are all about. Which what we’re about, is simply focusing on what God focused on, which is that one lost neighbor, friend, spouse. Jesus didn’t come with a to-do list of countless things, He had one to-do and one to-do only, and that was to reach the lost, the hurting, the broken (”I’ve come not to call the righteous, but sinners.” –Jesus). And that’s what campuses are about, they’re a vital piece to the vision of reaching and speaking life, hope, and freedom into the lives of countless individuals. They’re communities where the one, isn’t simply another person, but it’s a spouse who finally came home to God after 20 years…it’s a co-worker who decided to finally give God a try, it’s a son or daughter who proclaimed their decision for Christ through baptism, it’s friends who weekly band together to serve for the cause of Christ. Campuses are one body, with one vision, full of stories of that one life-changing moment they came to Christ. “Without a vision a people perish,” that said “without people a vision perishes.” I just want to say how genuinely blessed Holli and I are to serve and minister alongside such amazing friends. Without the efforts, and the sacrifices of the countless volunteers at Fishers, we’d never be where we’re at as a campus. We’d never hear the countless stories of a life-changed because a volunteer who simply took the time to be Jesus to someone…through an encouraging word, through a simple handshake, through an investment in the lives of someones kids, through a creative set, through the love and care they have for each other as a team. Fishers would not be Fishers without you guys! Simply put, we love you guys, and are so thankful to what each of you bring into our lives, through your support, encouragement, your faithfulness. “And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is right.” 2 Thess. 3:13
In this season of giving, we have such an opportunity to bless and support the community around.

If your interested in attending tickets can be purchased at TicketMaster. I know that Holli and I would love to connect with you there as well, so if your thinking of attending maybe shoot me an e-mail at sethm@livinghopechurch.com. Hope to see you there!
