Faith Christian Assembly

Many people are planners, thinking ahead and figuring out how to work things out to hopefully experience favorable results. Planning is great and should be done, but is planning always enough?

Even the best of plans can go amiss. There are just too many things beyond control. Knowing this can be a great source of anxiety and the reason why many people are feeling the sting of that anxiety today. Left unchecked, anxiety can turn to depression. But that’s not the way it has to be. The Heavenly Father knows what each person needs because he created every person. He is the omniscient, omnipresent one who all people can trust above everything and everyone, including individual plans and circumstances.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 says “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought.”

Believers should ask themselves where they put their trust. It is good to plan and something every person should do, but when believers put their ultimate trust in God, he will show them the way to go, just as Proverbs 3:5-6 says,“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Jesus is the God of the Bible, and the one who is the focus of all the teaching at Faith Christian Assembly. LW residents are invited to come hear a Bible-based message at one of the services this weekend and learn about the God who loves all people fiercely.

Sunday service begins at 10:30 a.m. The Wednesday morning Bible study is at 11 a.m.

Faith Christian Assembly is located on the corner of Seal Beach Boulevard and St. Andrews Drive at 13820 Seal Beach Blvd.
