“Never the Same” sermon series at Lincoln Christian Church

2000 years ago, several people met and walked with Jesus Christ and were never the same again. For some, it was just one short encounter; for others it was a walk that lasted three years; but for all it was a moment that turned their lives inside out. We can share in those experiences and share the same thrill today as we walk with Jesus too.

Starting in February and taking us all the way to Easter, we will begin a series of sermons from the life of Jesus titled, “Never the Same! One conversation can change everything!”

We know how many of our people have been looking for a perfect opportunity to invite neighbors, friends, and family members to our ministries; this would be it. “Never the Same” is a great opportunity to hear a life altering message as well as become re-amazed with Jesus.

“Never the Same” will be presented by Ron Otto beginning February 5 in all three

Sunday morning worship services (8:15, 9:30 & 11:00).


Lincoln Christian Church Women’s Bible Study

Jesus makes a difference in our lives! Do we believe it? Do we live it? Women’s Bible Study will venture through the book of Colossians to see if we can immerse ourselves in God’s Word and come out the other side with a deeper understanding of Jesus. This eight week study begins February 6 and goes through April 2. Call Chantell Mills 217-314-9101 with questions or email at chantellmills@gmail.com.
