LIFEGROUPS – NEW GROUPS BEGIN TODAY
welcome to September 16, 2012 We are so glad you are here today! We invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the service. We want to make your visit to LIFEPOINTE Church very special – and here’s how: You can trust your children (from birth – grade 6) to our AngelPointe and KidzPointe teams. AngelPointe provides quality, loving care for your little ones from nursery to preschool. An atmosphere of fun and belonging has been created in our KidzPointe classes to make your child feel welcome. Any of our greeters can direct you to the children’s area. If you decide to keep your infant or young child with you during the service, please note that the restrooms are outside the back door of the auditorium on the left. Please use the WELCOME card to request any further information about our church or to communicate with us. You can drop it in the offering basket at the end of the service. Please have confidence that no one will drop by your home or call you without being asked. Take advantage of the message notes on the back page of this program. You can use these outline notes to follow along with today’s message.

LOL – LADIES OF LIFEPOINTE – COMING UP A STORY OF COMPASSION There are ____________________________ people all around us “And just how would you define ‘neighbor’?” Jesus answered by telling a story. “There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way robbers attacked him. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. . (Luke 10:29-31 – Msg)
Our _____________ has everything to do with our walk with God Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. “Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?” He answered, “What’s written in God’s Law? How do you interpret it?” He said, “That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself.” “Good answer!” said Jesus. “Do it and you’ll live.” (Luke 10:25-28 – Msg)
RESPONSE 1: I can ____________________________ like the priest Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side. (Luke 10:31 – Msg)
RESPONSE 2: I can ____________________________ like the Levite In the same way a Levite also came there, went over and looked at the man, but then walked on by on the other side. (Luke 10:32 – GNB)
LOL – Ladies of LifePointe will be having two special events this month. First, they will have a Bible Study on 09/22/12 at 7pm at the LifePointe campus. Second, they will host an outing to go to the new Paragon Outlets in Grand Prairie. They will meet at LifePointe at 9am and return at 3pm.

5th SUNDAY POTLUCK LUNCH – 09-30-12 We want to invite everyone to join us for a special Potluck Lunch on Sunday, September 30th @ NOON. We want to have a party and celebrate all that God is doing at LifePointe and give everyone an opportunity to get to know each other. Everyone is asked to bring the following: Last names (A-L) – bring a Main Dish, Sides/Salad & drinks – Last names (M-Z) bring a Main Dish, dessert & drinks. The church will provide the paper products.
RESPONSE 3: I can ________________________ like the Samaritan A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man’s condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I’ll pay you on my way back.’ (Luke 10:33-35 – Msg)
Our compassion must be more than good ____________________ it must be translated into practical _____________________ “What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?” “The one who treated him kindly,” the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, “Go and do the same.” (Luke 10:36-37 – Msg)
‘Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?’ Then the King will say, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.’ (Matthew 25:37-40 – Msg)
Our _____________ has everything to do with our walk with God My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. (1 John 4:7-8 – Msg)
THE ULTIMATE QUESTION: Who is YOUR_______________? Treat other people exactly as you would like to be treated by them. (Matthew 7:12 - Ph)
