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!
Constant Abiding
Read Psalms 1:1 through 2:12
Years ago during a time of drought in Germany, the vineyards along the Rhine River were adversely affected. One vineyard gained attention, because high up on one hill there were vines that flourished while others were drying up. A study was done, and they discovered the secret of these flourishing vines.
By carefully following the root system of one of these vines, it was discovered that they led all the way down the side of the hill to the river’s edge. While the other vines were waiting for rain, these had made their way to an unending source of moisture.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers (Psalm 1:3).
You do not need to depend on the spiritual environment around you in order to thrive in your walk with God. The secret to flourishing in the midst of spiritual drought is tapping into the steady flow of God’s Spirit. David writes about delighting in the law of the Lord through steady meditation both day and night.
Thought for Today: Abide in Him and let His words abide in you, and you will thrive.
Quicklook: Psalm 1:1–6
