PREACHING SERIES: DID GOD REALLY SAY THAT?
Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, nothing has really changed. While we may have advanced in technology, we continue to live under the effects of the fall, struggling with the question "Did God really say that?”
Satan’s first tactic was this simple question and questioning God has been his weapon of choice since the beginning. God is truth. His promises are sure, and His commands are good. His words bring life, peace, and joy. Let's break away from bad theology by knowing God's Word and knowing for ourselves, without a shadow of a doubt, if God really did say that.
Join us as we journey through this enlightening series. We meet on Sundays at 10:30 am in-person or online on YouTube or our website. Did you miss Sunday's service? Click here to watch the recording.

Our missions partner for the month of September is EduDeo Ministries. EduDeo Ministries believes education rooted in the Gospel is the best way to bring about whole-life transformation for children and their communities. They advance Christ-centred education in three key ways: 1) investing in teachers by training them to integrate the Gospel in every lesson, 2) investing in building school infrastructure, and 3) supporting students through bursaries.
Our missions giving towards EduDeo Ministries in September will go towards their Walking Together program which provides professional development workshops for teachers and leaders all over the world, equipping them to be catalysts for Christ in the lives of their students, their schools, and their communities. $45 will train one teacher, $135 will train three, and $450 will train ten teachers. Give now to invest in training these teachers so that they can advance the gospel in their classrooms and communities.
TLC'S MISSION & VISION
The Lakeside Church is a community of believers devoted to the Word of God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to love and build up one another, and to reach people with the life-giving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
​
We gather together to worship Jesus as Lord and Saviour. We are motivated to grow in faith and encourage one other to use our gifts for God’s purposes. We are equipped to go and share the good news of freedom, hope and new life in Jesus Christ with our community, country and the world.
TLC MINISTRIES
No matter what stage of life you are in, or what season you are currently experiencing, TLC has a relevant ministry to support you in your life's journey. We have age-related ministries, activity-based ministries, ministries to mark important milestones, ministries to offer you spiritual and emotional support, and ministries to help build up your faith in Christ Jesus.
"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NLT
TLC MISSIONS
The Lakeside Church is a missions-minded church. We partner with local, national and international organizations in their missions to go and share the good news of freedom, hope and new life in Jesus Christ with our world. We give so they can go.
​
We also support the 340 million Christians worldwide who face high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith in Jesus.
This year, TLC will partner with 12 organizations that do missions work locally and internationally. We will highlight one organization per month and come alongside them as they tangibly spread the love of Jesus to a hurting and needy world.

Amazingly, the 340 million persecuted believers around the world don’t look to us to end their struggle. Instead, these courageous men and women ask for just two things: Scripture resources and prayers.

Pastor Brian baptized me one year ago and provided great comfort when I was sick. He encouraged me to maintain my faith and rely on Jesus. He is a teacher, an older brother, and a protector to me. His warm smile, kindness, and unwavering strength encourage me to keep my faith.
