There's No Place Like Home

Published on July 15, 2008 by Pastor Jeff Zabel

What a joy it is to be back at my home church serving as the Pastor of Worship and Arts!  Pastor Brent and I have been pouring through old photos, reminiscing about our years at Lakewood growing up, serving as volunteers, being mentored by incredible pastors...and now we're back...after years of serving in other churches, growing in our walks with Christ, starting families, etc. etc., we're back!

And now as I sit here in my office full of boxes...looking out the window at Bancroft Middle School and a Lakewood neighborhood full of hungry souls... I can't help but thank God for bringing us here again.  And I pray that a new season of Kingdom harvest is ahead for Lakewood.  That other people who call this area "home" will come to secure their "forever home" by trusting in the Lord Jesus.

Let's believe God for it!  Amen and amen!
