Greater Things in 2012

It has been two years since Abundant LIFE Church was gifted our church facilities at 231 Howard Ave, Altoona. We are more convinced than ever that we are here by the providence of God. We are excited about ALL that God is doing in this place. We would love for you to be part of LIFE Church and all that is happening on Howard Ave.
Psalm 145:4 says "Each generation will announce to the next your wonderful and powerful deed". There is much to tell to the next generation - how Jesus powerfully saves and transforms lives, how He still heals and delivers and brings us out of our old lives and makes us new.
We invite you to meet Jesus. He is the heart and center of the lives of the folks of Abundant Life as well as the life of our church. He has a plan for your life. If we can help you in anyway - please contact us, we would love to pray for you or answer your questions and help you with your life journey.
We have some very exciting and powerful events coming in the next few months. Please check out our church calendar on the website or our weekly bulletin for updates. You are personally invited to come along and share in all that Abundant Life has to offer. We want to meet the needs of each person, every family and our community.
You can find us on Facebook by searching for "LIFE Church (Abundant Life Assembly)!
If you take a look at our most recent bulletin on our website, you'll see there is something special planned for nearly every age group - it's intentional! We are working at becoming more intentionally generational. We want to work to meet the needs of every single person that we have the opportunity to minister to. Check it out - there is something just for you!
No Other God
Read Exodus 32:1 through 34:35
“Wow! I wish I could sing like her.” Kelsy beamed as she yelled her dreams to her mom standing next to her. They’d managed to snag front row tickets to see a tween rocker in concert. The music blared and lights danced rhythmically, enhancing the fantasy. It was going perfectly until the scantily clad male dancers joined the starlet on stage.
Kelsey’s face mirrored the shock her mom felt, whose cheeks flushed first with embarrassment, then with anger. In an instant, the teen idol turned two fans cold and left an image carved in their hearts that would take much time to fade.
Idols come in many forms—people and things.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people... have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf” (Exodus 32:7,8).
Anything can quickly take the place of God if we are not careful. But before God takes steps to discipline us, we can search our hearts for any idols we have set up. Then we can repent and rededicate our lives to the Lord.
Prayer for Today: Lord, help me give my heart to You alone.
Quicklook: Exodus 32:7–14
