Wonder who we are?  We are a people on the move with a direction given by God.

It would be really great if there was no literal devil and demons were just mythological creatures.  But if there is a devil and he does have a horde of evil minions working with him that means there is an honest to goodness battle going on in our world and beyond.  Pastor Darren this week begins a series looking at the topic of spiritual warfare in order to equip the church to fight and to win.   Listen

LONGFIELDS COMMUNITY CHURCH

Worship Grow Serve Share

We will love God with all that we are as individuals and as a community and strive to know Him intimately.

 We will love the people of Barrhaven, Ottawa, Canada and the World passionately and deliberately.

(The Great Commandment from Mark’s gospel chapter 12)

We will help people become disciples; fully connected, devoted and mature followers of Jesus Christ.

(The Great Commission from Matthew’s gospel chapter 28)

We value…

• The truth seasoned with grace
• Honesty and integrity of character
• Living out the gospel in community
• Kindness and generosity
• Inclusion and respect

We strive…

• to become deeply passionate worshippers of God who worship Him in spirit and in truth,

• to grow in our walk with Jesus Christ and to grow in our impact on our community for God’s glory and their good,

• to serve God with our whole lives, serve each other in the church and to serve the community so that Christ’s servant nature is seen in us,

• to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who don’t know Him personally, to share our lives with each other, and to share in the work of the Kingdom of God with fellow believers in other congregations throughout our community. 

Did you know that prayer is a form of meditation and that meditation is a form of prayer?  Sure you did.  But do you understand what meditation is all about?  The question is asked because there are many who pray, but permit me to present this case, that prayer without meditation is not genuine prayer.  Prayer without meditation is typically just a bunch of words put together in sentence structures which indicate a grammatical and lexical unit consisting of one or more words that represent distinct concepts.  I would bet that you hadn’t thought of prayer in that fashion before.
