LIFE Fellowship
Welcome
LIFE Fellowship is a community of adults within the Midtown Baptist Temple who are committed to walking together in Jesus Christ. Members of LIFE Fellowship also meet throughout the week in small group Bible studies. In our gatherings, we focus on genuine fellowship, encouragement, and ministry training. The class is primarily comprised of middle-aged couples with children who thrive on being together around good food and open Bibles. We'd love to have you for a visit sometime!

LIFE Fellowship meets at 9am Sunday mornings in the Meyer Main Building, 3924 Walnut Street (back entrance).

LIFE Fellowship Sermons
People bring a blind man to Jesus, who leads the blind man out of the city, spits on his eyes, and heals him. The man first sees men as tress, then Jesus touches him again and he sees men as men. We'll explore Jesus' method of healing and his motivation for healing that way.
Jon and Marcie Kindler share their testimonies and answer questions.
The disciples forget to bring bread on the boat. Jesus tells them to beware the leaven of the Pharisees. We explore leaven - the positive applications as the kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God and the negative applications as hypocrisy and sin.
The Pharisees and Sadducees ask Jesus for a sign, and he rebukes them for their ability to discern the signs of the weather but not the signs that he is the Messiah. We examine signs in the Bible and conclude that our primary responsibility is to understand and apply God's Word.
Jesus feeds another large crowd. We examine why Jesus completes this miracle when he fed a large crowd not long before. As Christians, we need continual reminders of God's goodness and provision.
We analyze Deuteronomy 20:1-4, using a recent trip to Malawi and Kenya as an example. We'll compare the physical battles to be faced by Israel to the spiritual battles we face as New Testament believers.
Tad and Christy Schlagenbusch share their testimonies and answer questions.
God desires for us to be fruitful, and we can be fruitful through abiding in Christ.
“What is truth?” Pilate asks an important question. Today we dive into the scriptures—mainly what John wrote, to answer the question properly.
Jesus heals a deaf, mute man in Decapolis. The testimony of Jesus is that he did all things well. This message explores what it means to live well according to the Word of God.
Today we look at Jesus' healing of the ten lepers. Christ heals ten lepers and only one of them looks back to Christ to thank him for the healing. We can parallel this to our own salvation and see the need to remember what we were saved from. This should cause us to give thanks and worship just like the one that remained.
The scribes and pharisees confront Jesus about his disciples not washing their hands upon returning from market. Jesus rebukes them for their hypocritical stance on the ceremonial laws. The sermon examines traditions and how New Testament Christians should approach them.
Jesus explains that no food that enters into a man can defile him, but that evil comes from the heart of man. This sermon examines the role of the law as a schoolmaster to point to Jesus as what the Bible says about food.
In Genesis 32 we find one of the most historic events in the life of a patriarch. Jacob is confronted by the Lord in a match that is a picture of the believer of intense struggle through prayer of one of the hardest seasons in his life. The scripture encourages the believer to a deeper dependence and greater view on God's grace, while also showing us what the true blessing is that Jacob found.
The scribes and pharisees confront Jesus about his disciples not washing their hands upon returning from market. Jesus rebukes them for their hypocritical stance on the ceremonial laws. The sermon examines traditions and how New Testament Christians should approach them.
Jesus and his disciples come to the land of Gennesaret. The people of Gennesaret run to carry their sick friends and family members to Jesus so he can heal them. As Christians, it's our responsibility to run to and carry the lost to Jesus.
LIFE Fellowship welcomes Pastor James Fyffe and Faith Fellowship. We take a look at how David leads in the midst of distressing circumstances.
Todd Frank leads the LIFE Fellowship adults class.
Jesus asks the disciples, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter responds they believe He is the Christ. Jesus is pleased with this answer. Soon after this exchange, Peter rebukes Christ for telling of his coming death and resurrection. Jesus rebukes Peter for this response and then Jesus explains that true followers will deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow Jesus to the death.
