⚔️ The Word is Our Light and Our Sword ⚔️

Opinions fade. Feelings shift. Lies surround us every day. But God’s Word is unshakable truth! It lights our path and equips us to stand strong.

The Bible is not just a book to read. It is the voice of God speaking life, direction, and power into your soul. It is the light that guides your steps and the sword that defeats the enemy.

📖 Psalm 119:105 — Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

📖 Hebrews 4:12 — For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword.

At Celebrate Recovery, we encourage you not just to hear the Word on Sundays, but to open it for yourself daily.

In every page you will find hope, freedom, and the strength to fight battles you cannot win on your own.

The Word doesn’t just inform. It transforms.

✨ Monday Nights at Lake City Celebrate Recovery

Healing is possible. Freedom is real.

Thank you Katherine and the Dove House for coming out to speak to our teens on Internet Safety! Knowledge is power! We are believing that this conversation will allow our teens to make wise decisions as they grow up in a period of time where technology is at their fingertips constantly!

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” — 1 Timothy 4:12

“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” — Proverbs 13:20

🦋 Letting Go of Control 🦋

Sometimes we cling so tightly to control—our plans, our image, our relationships—that we don’t even realize how exhausted we’ve become. The truth? We were never designed to carry it all.

God says:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up. It means handing the steering wheel back to the One who actually knows where you’re going. When we surrender, we trade anxiety for peace and control for freedom.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

So often we feel like everything is out of our control or that if we give up control then we will look weak, yet this scripture reminds us that His power rests on us in moments of weakness!

💬 What’s one area in your life you need to release to God this week?

Join us tomorrow night at 6:30pm in the overflow at Lake City Church as we dive into letting go of control and surrendering it to the Lord!

✨ Last night, Mr. Larry shared such a powerful message on anxious thoughts.

We all face moments that feel overwhelming—storms that shake us and make us worry. But the question is: How do you handle situations that make you anxious or uncomfortable?

In Matthew 8:23–27, the disciples panicked in the storm while Jesus slept peacefully. With just a word, He calmed the winds and waves. 🌊✝️
It was a reminder that even when our world feels chaotic, Jesus has the power to bring peace.

👉 What storm are you facing right now that you need to surrender to Him?

Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) — “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”

🖤 September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 🖤

Sometimes the weight feels too heavy. Sometimes the lies in our head feel louder than the truth. But hear this: your life matters. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved. 💛

God says:
✨ “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

✨ “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

✨ “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10

If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, know this: it is okay to not be okay, but it’s not okay to stay silent. Reach out. Talk to someone you trust. Let’s carry each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).

At the Landing we create a safe space where teens know its okay to talk about their struggles and the pressures they face. Monday nights our teens can lay their weight at the door because they are fully seen and fully loved. There is no more excuse to keep it all bottled up inside. We've got your back!

📞 If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call or text 988 – you are never alone.

🚨 WAR CRY 🚨

Declare it with authority:

I am not my past.
I am not my shame.
I am who God says I am.

I am chosen.
I am forgiven.
I am free.
I am redeemed.

Shame has no power over me.
The blood of Jesus covers me.
The Spirit of God fills me.
The Word of God defines me.

🔥 Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

This is my war cry. I am free in Jesus’ name! 🙌

We talked about baggage a few weeks ago, and I was thinking about ALL those layers Mr. Jacob put on.

Some of the layers he put on on all by himself.
Others, Mrs. Kadie actually helped him put on. It reminded me of the importance of our friend groups and to be sure that the friend surrounding you are not the reason you carry extra baggage.

For teens, baggage can look like:

The pressure of living up to everyone’s expectations 🎒
Broken friendships or family struggles 💔
The weight of mistakes you can’t stop replaying in your head 🔄
Hidden hurts you’ve never told anyone about 🤐

We learned this, but I want to remind you that the Bible tells us we don’t have to carry it alone.
👉 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

Jesus doesn’t ask you to ignore your baggage. He invites you to lay it down at His feet. When we do, He gives us something better in return: peace, freedom, and strength to keep going.

🔥 at the Landing we talk about how to identify the baggage we carry and how to drop it off with God—because you were never meant to carry it forever.

Hard conversations bring growth. Lets talk about it! Join us for our next topic on September 8th at 6:30 in the Overflow at Lake City Church
