Hey LifePoint gang,

Hope you’re having a great Resurrection Sunday Eve.

Resurrection Sunday is here!
Christ is risen! Even though every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday, tomorrow is our annual “special” observance of Christ’s resurrection and victory over death. We will alter our normal schedule with only one service at 10:30am – 12:15pm. We’ll enjoy a great time of worship and a wonderful observance of the Lord’s Supper.

(*A special word about the Lord’s Supper: Scripture teaches that only born-again believers who are walking in obedience to the Lord should participate in the memorial we call the Lord’s Supper. Even if you are confident of your salvation, it’s still always good to do a little “spiritual house cleaning” before participating in this sacred memorial celebration. If you have younger children who want to participate, be sure they have made a personal commitment to Jesus and that they understand what the Lord’s Supper is about.)

Additionally, I will be preaching a strong, apologetic message about the proofs of the claims of Christ – adding to the messages I preached last April that included a two-part exhaustive discussion of the amazing Shroud of Turin – the burial cloth of Jesus (Apr 13) and “The 5 E’s of the Resurrection” (Apr 20). If you did not get to hear those messages, if you would like to re-listen to them, and/or send them to someone who needs to hear them, you can find them on our website by clicking here.

Concerning tomorrow’s sermon, if you have any family or friends who are wavering between faith and unbelief, they need to hear the message, so do everything you can to get them there.

Resurrection morning breakfast snacks & fellowship

As I have mentioned the past couple of weeks, Beth and her team are preparing a wonderful spread of breakfast snacks/treats for tomorrow. They will begin serving at 9:30am, so come to church early and dig in! Thank you Beth and team for all the hard work you put forth for us every week. You guys are the greatest!

Exciting news on our potential new church home!

We have been able to come to a tentative agreement with the owners of the Montellano Event Center on N. Eastern! As we speak, a contract is being prepared that will make it possible for us to not only purchase the property, but with a little extra fundraising, allow us to do the necessary expansion to the auditorium we need to make it functional as our future home.

Once the contract is completed and our attorney gives us the green light, we will announce a special business meeting for discussion and approval of the final purchase. And then … we are on our way to closing in July and beginning construction later this summer. Continue to pray that God’s will is done as we take this important step.

Crossroads annual fundraiser

Don’t forget that this year’s Crossroads Clinic fundraiser will be this week, April 9, at 6:30pm-8:30pm at The Dominion House, 818 N Oak St, Guthrie. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Everett Piper. For more information, see Amy Bachelor or call Linda Stewart at (405) 282-6322.

“The Passion of the Christ” returns to the big screen at LifePoint

If you’re like me, few movies ever impacted you more than Mel Gibson’s movie. Can you believe that movie was released 22 years ago?

Well, we are working on hosting a special Sunday evening showing of that amazing movie on our big screen in UCO’s Constitution Hall (where we have services every Sunday). This event will occur in the next few weeks and we will need everyone to register for this FREE event plus invite friends and family to attend. We’ll keep you posted and will send a registration link as soon as a date and time are confirmed. It’ll be great!!

The sequel to The Passion of the Christ is coming soon and we will plan to see those as a church at the theater upon release as well.  The sequel is entitled The Resurrection of the Christ. It has been split into two parts, both scheduled for theatrical release in 2027 via Lionsgate.

• Part One is set to release on Good Friday, March 26, 2027.
• Part Two is set to release 40 days later on Ascension Day, May 6, 2027.

Special prayer requests

Even though there are many in our congregation who need our prayers and I would never want to overlook or minimize anyone, there are a couple of prayer needs I would like to bring to your attention.

• John Williams is back in the hospital and is not doing well. I know he and Cheryl would appreciate your prayers.

• Val was back in the hospital this week battling the kidney issue that flares up every 6-12 mos. Thankfully, she’s back home and planning on being in services tomorrow. However, I know she would also appreciate your prayers in healing and finding a doctor with the answers as to why she cannot stop making kidney stones as they scar her kidneys.

I look forward to celebrating Jesus’ resurrection with you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

LifePoint family,

Tomorrow and next Sunday are incredibly special days on the Christian calendar – Palm Sunday & Resurrection Sunday.  Palm Sunday celebrates the day that Jesus presented Himself to the people to be inspected as the “spotless lamb who takes away the sins of the world.”  That day began His week-long trip to Golgotha, ending with a bloody cross. Of course, the next Sunday celebrates the capstone of our faith – Jesus’ resurrection!  It was on that day that Jesus’ disciples discovered He was alive from the dead!  As Paul wrote to the Corinthian believers, without Jesus’ resurrection, our faith is useless.  Thank God, He is alive and our faith is valid!

Given this, we have carefully planned the next two Sunday services to help us celebrate these two significant days.  Each will be saturated with spiritual significance.  You won’t want to miss either one!


Tomorrow at LifePoint

•Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10am – we will begin with a short town hall meeting to give an update on our quest to purchase the Event Center on N. Eastern.  Then we will continue our lesson series, “Getting Scripture Right.”  We will take the laws of Hermeneutics we learned last week and use them to begin deciphering difficult passages of Scripture that so many misinterpret.  Come learn how to get Scripture right!

•Worship/Preaching Service, 11am – because it is Palm Sunday, tomorrow we will hit the pause button on our “Saved” message series and our ongoing discussion of the eternal conscious torment of the lost to focus on why Palm Sunday ever happened.  Is there more to it than Jesus riding a donkey colt and a crowd waving palm branches while shouting praises?  Why begin a week this way to only end it with 3 spike nails, a crown of thorns, and a bloody cross?  Is there more to Palm Sunday than meets the eye?  You can always be assured that with Jesus, there always is.  Come learn the deeper reason Jesus did what He did on that special day. (We will resume our discussion of eternal conscious torment on Apr 12.)

Town hall meeting tomorrow morning

We will hold a short town hall meeting at the beginning of tomorrow’s Pastor’s/BRR class at 10am.  During the meeting, we will give an update on our attempt to secure financing for the Event Center on N. Eastern.  We have some interesting news to share.  Afterwards, we will begin the class.

Resurrection Sunday

Next Sunday is the biggest day of the year for the Christ follower.  Because Resurrection Sunday is so important/special to the Body of Christ, we have altered our normal Sunday schedule.  Instead of having our regular Pastor’s/BRR Class at 10am, we will begin our worship/preaching service at 10:30am and wrap up at 12:15pm.

Starting at 9:30am, Beth and our hospitality team will “pull out the stops” for us and have a bountiful offering of breakfast treats for us.  So plan on arriving early for a great time of fellowship and breakfast snacks.  Thank you Beth and the whole hospitality team for your incredible service to our church!

During the service, we will enjoy an extended time of worship, an apologetic message offering numerous proofs of Jesus’ resurrection, and a special Lord’s Supper celebration.  You won’t want to miss it!

Crossroads Clinic annual fundraiser banquet

Don’t forget that this year’s Crossroads Clinic fundraiser will be on April 9 at 6:30pm-8:30pm at The Dominion House, 818 N Oak St, Guthrie.  The keynote speaker will be Dr. Everett Piper.  For more information, see Amy Bachelor. (You can always give a special offering to Crossroads through LBC.  Just make certain you clearly mark your offering for Crossroads.)

Wendi Dial would like to include a very special "thank you" to those who helped her move. She said she is extremely grateful for your help and for being a member of such an amazing church body! If anyone needs moving boxes and packing material, she said you can have hers! Contact Wendi with any questions.

I’m especially looking forward to celebrating Palm Sunday with you tomorrow,
Dan

As you know, we try not to inundate you with emails and text messages and only reach out when there are things we believe you really need to know. Here are a few things I want to share with you.

First, we’ve had two people go to be with the Lord in the past few days:

Bob Womack, husband of Cozene and father of Rona Morton.

Bob and Cozene have been supporters of LifePoint since our beginning and attended until Bob’s health would no longer allow him to come.

"Bette" Mura Elizabeth Dirickson, mother of Ashley Hall. She just turned 90 in November.

I know that Cozene, Rona, and Ashely (and their families) would appreciate your prayers during this challenging time.

Second, we’ll have a short town hall meeting this Sunday at 10 am.

We have finished our discussions with 11 different banks concerning financing for the Event Center. We have one more “out of the box” option we’re investigating, but in the meantime, we’d like to give you an “official” update. This coming Sunday morning, we’ll take the first few minutes of the Pastor’s/BRR Class for a quick town hall to bring you up to speed with where we are. Once we’re finished with the update, we’ll proceed with the class.

Resurrection Sunday is Apr 5. We’ll have one service at 10:30 am – 12:15 pm. It’ll be great!

I hope you have a great last half of the week,
Dan Fisher

I’m in AR attending my nephew’s wedding. I’ll be back late tonight – so don’t you worry, I’ll be there bright and early in the morning at UCO so I can preach to Gary Davis! ?

A special thank you to everyone who contributed to our LifeBody offering last Sunday. We received some $5,000 toward the purchase of a car for one of our faithful couples. Therefore, we’re now in the market for a good, dependable car with a reasonable amount of mileage on it. If you have any leads, reach out to us.

Also, I want to give a shout out to everyone who helped us move one of our members this past Wednesday. We had plenty of help and got the job done by lunch! Thank you guys, you’re the greatest.

Update on purchase of the Event Center

We want to have a townhall very soon (maybe next Sunday or the Sunday after Easter) to give everyone a full report and discuss options. Be praying for clarity for the Executive Team.

Easter is almost here!

Can you believe Resurrection Sunday is just two weeks away! This year, it is on Apr 5. Since the resurrection of Jesus is the “capstone” of our faith, Resurrection Sunday is always a special Sunday. Consequently, we try to make that day memorable. We are planning a great service that will include a special commemoration of the Lord’s Supper. Our schedule will change and we will only have one service at 10:30am – 12:15pm. Beth and our hospitality team always “pull out the stops” for us on this day, so arrive early, around 9:30am, for a great time of fellowship and breakfast snacks. Thank you Beth and the whole hospitality team for your incredible service to our church!

Crossroads Clinic annual fundraiser banquet

This year’s Crossroads Clinic fundraiser will be on April 9 at 6:30pm-8:30pm at The Dominion House, 818 N Oak St, Guthrie. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Everett Piper. For more information, see Amy Bachelor.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10am – we will continue our new teaching series, “Getting Scripture Right.” Tomorrow, we will continue part 3, “What is Hermeneutics & how does it help us properly understand Scripture?” This series is much needed today, and it will aid you in understanding how to get the Bible correct. Come join us.
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11am – we will continue our “Saved” message series with part 2 of “Will the lost suffer eternal conscious torment or be annihilated in hell?” With Kirk and James Cameron’s announcement that they have become believers in “spiritual annihilation,” the internet has gone crazy. Are Kirk and James right or are they just another example of solid believers who have embraced an incorrect position on an important biblical teaching? Will those in hell experience “eternal conscious torment” or be “annihilated” and cease to exist for all eternity? Does it even matter? Come find out.

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan

I hope everyone had a good week and you’re enjoying a great Saturday! Here’s what’s going on at LifePoint:

New facility purchase

We’ve just about finished “running the trotlines” in our quest to find a bank that will make an offer we can live with. Unfortunately, so far, we’re coming up empty. As I have told you before, every bank we’ve talked with only wants to loan 50% of what we need, or they have insisted on guarantors for the loan - requirements that are unacceptable. We have two more banks we hope to hear from early next week, and obviously, we’re hoping one of them will make a reasonable offer. If not, the Executive Team is going back to the drawing board to reassess our strategy. Be praying that God gives us clarity as we near the end of this difficult process.

Auction for a week in Pagosa Springs, CO

Time is running out on a great opportunity to bid on a 7-day condominium stay in Pagosa Springs, CO, for the week of Mar 21-28! A generous couple in our church is offering this wonderful chance to spend a week in beautiful Colorado, and it will go to the highest bidder, with the proceeds going to the LifePoint Building Fund. If you would like to take advantage of this great week in Pagosa Springs, jump on our church website and place a bid. Who knows? You may walk away the winner! Auction will end Monday, March 17, 2026 @ 11:45PM (Central). Please click here to learn more.  Thank you, Ike & Peggy!

Plymouth/Boston tour

We only had approximately half of the necessary 35 folks register for the tour scheduled for late May. So, if you already paid your registration, we will be refunding your deposit. We will continue working on a possible tour this fall. If you have any interest or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Help needed to move a member

This Wednesday, one of our LifePoint ladies is moving and we need volunteers to help to make that job much easier. If you can help, please let Gary Davis, Julie Workman, or me know tomorrow at church so we will know if we are going to have enough help.

Special offering this Sunday

We will take up a special offering this Sunday for an elderly couple in our church family who are in desperate need of a used car. Please prayerfully consider a donation for this worthy cause.

Crossroads Clinic 2026 Fundraising Banquet

Although it seems like it was only yesterday that we were promoting the 2025 fundraiser, it’s time to look forward to the 2026 event! As most of you know, Crossroads is a ministry LifePoint supports monthly. Their work is so important and every baby they save is a miracle in and of itself. In the process, they often get to lead those involved to saving faith in Jesus. This year’s fundraiser will be on April 9 at 6:30pm-8:30pm and will be held at The Dominion House, 818 N Oak St, Guthrie. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Everett Piper. If you would like to participate, see Amy Bachelor for more details. You can also visit their events page on their website at https://friendsofcrossroads.org/events/ 

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10am – we will continue our new teaching series, “Getting Scripture Right.” Tomorrow, we will finish part 2 and begin part 3, “What is Hermeneutics & how does it help us properly understand Scripture?” This series is much needed today and it will aid you in understanding how to get the Bible correct. Come join us!
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11am – we will continue our “Saved” message series and begin our investigation of whether those in hell will experience “eternal conscious torment” or be “annihilated” and cease to exist for all eternity. With Kirk Cameron’s announcement that he has become a believer in “annihilation,” the internet has gone crazy. Is Kirk right or is he just one more person who has embraced an incorrect position on an important biblical teaching? Come find out.

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher 

Good Sunday evening LifePoint family,

One would think that after preaching and teaching for 50 yrs, I’d get some things figured out.  I guess not!

So, I’m taking personal privilege in this email to correct a couple of mess ups in my messages the past two weeks.  One of them would be funny if it wasn’t so dumb/stupid and the other is what I see as a necessary clarification.

First, the dumb/stupid one.  Last week I misspoke and said Joseph’s bones were the cause of a man being brought back from the dead.  Anyone who knows an ounce of Old Testament history (obviously not me), knows that it was Elisha’s bones that caused a man to rise from the dead (2 Kings 13:20-21).  However, today, in trying to correct my faux pas from last week, I made things worse by saying they were Elijah’s bones.  What’s even worse, I had written the name “Elisha” in my notes!  So not only does it appear that my memory is failing, I apparently am losing my ability to read as well.  A "so-called" friend jokingly asked me at lunch how Elijah’s bones brought someone back from the dead since Elijah was taken up to heaven.  That is a rather astute observation and question.  Since Elijah was “translated” directly into heaven, there would obviously have been no bones left behind to raise anyone from the dead.  So, I would like to make one final stab at this - it was Elisha’s bones that raised a man from the dead!  There - I said it!

Second, I really was asked a good question this morning after the service about Samson that I do think deserves some clarification.  The question was concerning whether Samson actually committed suicide or if his death was more “in the line of duty” in his ongoing “holy war” with the Philistines.  After further study, I would like to alter my comments from the last two messages.  Although some consider Samson's death a suicide, it was certainly not a suicide in the “traditional” sense.  Although he knew that by tearing down the Philistine temple of Dagon he would die in the process, Samson was not actually trying to kill himself - thus his death really wasn’t a suicide.  Therefore, I think we must remove Samson’s name from the suicide list (at least in the traditional sense) since his death really does appear to be more an “act of war” than a suicide.  Tragically, even though the circumstances surrounding Samson’s death were certainly the result of catastrophic spiritual failure in his life (one of the causes I listed for suicide), Scripture does seem to indicate he died as a casualty of war:   

Jud 16:28-30 “Then Samson called to the Lord and said, ‘O Lord God, please remember me and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes.’ 29 And Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other. 30 And Samson said, ‘Let me die with the Philistines.’ Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life.”   

I would like to thank the person who asked that very valid question about Samson (not my so-called friend who made fun of me because I could not get the Elisha story right).  The question caused me to dig a little deeper and correct the record.  It simply reminds me that, when handling Scripture, we need to be extremely careful with the text.

There, now I can rest easier tonight!
Dan Fisher

I hope everyone has had a great week. I have just a few items for you this week.

Daylight Savings Time begins tonight
Don’t forget, tonight we move our clocks forward an hour as we begin Daylight Savings Time. Can you believe it’s already that time again?

Potential new home for LifePoint
Continue to pray for the Executive Team as they hope to finalize discussions with various banks this week about financing for our potential new church home. So far, banks we have talked with want an incredible 50% down payment on a loan. At this point, we feel that is essentially a deal breaker, so we are continuing to talk with a few other loaning institutions. Be in prayer that the remaining banks have a more reasonable approach. Hopefully, we will have good news to share with you soon.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – Last week we got off to a good start on our latest study series entitled, “Getting Scripture Right.” In a time when Scripture is often twisted and false teaching is widespread, this series is a must. Come join us!

• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am – We will continue the message series, “Saved,” with the second part of the message on suicide. Last week’s message was entitled, “Is suicide a one-way ticket to hell?” Tomorrow’s message will discuss the fallout and consequences caused when a believer takes their own life. Scripture gives us the warnings and answers. You’ll want to hear this difficult, but timely message about a subject most would rather ignore.

Plymouth/Boston tour

You still have one week to register for our tour of Plymouth/Boston. We need 35 participants or we’ll have to postpone the trip to the fall. We emailed the details earlier in the week. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at dan@Lbcok.com or text me at 405-650-2250. Click this link to read more. https://subsplash.com/brrmin/lb/ev/+dtwgnmn

Defending Freedom meeting
Monday night, Mar 9, at 6:30 pm at 624 W. Warner, in Guthrie, Wendy Dial will be speaking at the Defending Freedom monthly meeting. Everyone is invited.  See below for more info.

New Women’s Bible study
A new Women’s Bible study will be beginning on Tuesdays at 6 pm in the home of April Hanson in Edmond. Susan Cro will be teaching the series, “Fatal Distractions: Conquering Destructive Temptations.” I know Susan and April would love to have you. If you have questions about this study, see Susan Cro. Register at the Welcome Desk.

Fundraising Auction
Ike & Peggy Burress have very generously donated their cabin for an auction fundraiser, proceeds of which will go to our new building acquisition! Thank you, Ike & Peggy! See the following link to read more!  https://givebutter.com/c/7days-in-pagosa-springs2026/auction/items/1706219 

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

I want to thank everyone for your prayers for Pam during her knee surgery this week.  She’s doing great and is already walking around.  The swelling has subsided, and I think she’s on the mend.
 
There are numerous others in our church who are struggling as well, and I know they also appreciate your prayers.  If you are aware of someone with needs, please reach out to them. What a tremendous blessing you can be to someone with a text, phone call, email – or better yet, drop by to see them! We have an amazing church family.
 
 
New facility update
 
The E.T. is continuing to talk with numerous banks in an attempt to secure an acceptable loan agreement to purchase the property on N. Eastern.  We are hoping to hear some definitive news this next week.  Be praying for God’s guidance in this process.  We’ll give you an update as soon as we know something.
 
 
Potential Plymouth/Boston tour
 
Several are asking about the possibility of a tour of Plymouth and Boston, which we had tentatively scheduled for mid to late May.  We finally have an approximate cost. Here are the costs based upon a group of 35 (if we do not have 35 going, the travel cost while we’re there will increase):
 
Room, travel (in Plymouth & Boston), & tickets to sites $900.00 per person
Estimated food cost ……………….................................. $250.00 per person
Total cost …………..……………………………...….. $1,150.00 per person

• This price does not include round-trip travel to Boston.
• If enough are interested, a nonrefundable deposit of $400 will be due sometime in late March, and we will have a formal registration page available.

 
If you are “truly” interested, I need you to contact asap so we can know if we have a large enough group to start booking arrangements. Please email me to let me know (even if you have previously voiced an interest).  I need to hear from you by no later than Mar 14.  I will then send out the word whether the trip makes or not by Mar 15.
 
 
Car needed for LifeBody Ministry
 
As you heard last week, our LifeBody Ministry is searching for a dependable car for a family in our church.  A few responded last Sunday, and we’re considering their offers.  While we’re doing so, if you have a car you would like to donate or sell, or you know someone who does, please let us know asap.  
 
 
Tomorrow at LifePoint
 

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – I can’t say how many times I’ve heard someone say about some passage of Scripture, “Well, that’s how I interpret it.”  But what if their interpretational methods are flawed and their “interpretation” is wrong? Well, tomorrow we will begin a new series, entitled “Getting Scripture Right,” that will help us deal with this problem.  Unfortunately, I am constantly hearing or encountering misinterpretations of Scripture.  With the advent of the internet, false teaching (nefarious or not) has reached epidemic proportions today.  This is incredibly problematic since an incorrect understanding of one passage of Scripture or what Scripture teaches about a particular subject can greatly impact the way we read the rest of the Bible.  An incorrect understanding of Scripture will then eventually damage our faith walk. I’m convinced that much of the time, these “incorrect interpretations” are unintentional and are the result of either a poor understanding of the Bible, incorrect teaching a person has previously received, or bad interpretational practices.  This series will help us learn how to properly understand and interpret Scripture.  If you really want to know what Scripture “actually” teaches, this study series is a must.  Come join us and get in on the ground floor of these important lessons.
  
  
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am – Tomorrow we will continue our “Saved” message series with part 6: “Is suicide a one-way ticket to hell?”  Every one of us has likely known a Christian who killed themselves.  What happens when a believer commits suicide?  Do they still go to heaven?  Does the Bible tell us?  You won’t want to miss this important message that will provide biblical answers to these disturbing questions.
  
  

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Dan Fisher

Good afternoon LifePoint family,

I want to thank all of you for your encouraging words, cards, and most of all – for your prayers during the time of my mother’s homegoing. Words cannot express how much your support has lifted me. What a blessing to have a church family like you. You guys are the greatest!

Property purchase update
As you know, the owners accepted our offer on the property on N. Eastern. The Executive Team is presently working to find a bank willing to work with us. This has become a bit of a challenge since our church is only two years old. We’re discovering that banks are hesitant to loan a church that young the amount needed to purchase and renovate the Event Center. Please be in prayer that the Lord will lead us to a bank that is willing to help us make this endeavor a success.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – I will be teaching a lesson to complete our present teaching on Calvinism. Tomorrow’s lesson will illustrate how Calvinists often contradict themselves as they attempt to make Scripture say what many of us believe it does not say.
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am – we will continue our “Saved” message series with part 5: “Is a believer secure in salvation or can they lose it?”. Many of you have recently asked about eternal security and whether Scripture teaches it or if it indicates that a believer can lose their salvation and be lost again. This issue is critical to growing spiritually, so we need to be able to know how the Bible answers this question.

As always, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Dan Fisher

LifePoint family,

As I’m sure some of you have heard, my mother went to be with our Lord this morning. She just turned 86 this past Friday and I was blessed to get to be there to celebrate with her. She trusted Christ to save her when I was just a little baby, so I and the rest of my family know where she is. She has been missing my dad every day for 45 years. We are rejoicing that this morning, she was able to see him again – not to mention to get to see her Savior.

I have shared that she has been struggling mentally and physically for the past few years and we have agonized to watch her fight through those difficulties. I am so happy to report to you that yesterday was her last bad day. From here on out, she is free! Thank you, Jesus for making a way for us beyond this vale of tears.

I know some of you are probably wondering if you need to travel to Arkansas to attend her memorial service out of respect and support for me. Let me quickly say that all we really need is your prayers – which I know we have and have had. There is no need for anyone to travel 3 hours both ways to Ft. Smith, AR to attend a service for someone you did not know. I am not saying that you would be unwelcome; it simply does not make sense for many of you to caravan all the way over to AR to then turn around and travel back the same day. Just knowing that you are praying for and thinking of us is a great comfort – and all we really need.

I will be traveling to AR sometime tomorrow or Thursday to do her service on Saturday, and will then travel back to OKC afterwards to be at LifePoint on Sunday. I will likely have to travel back over there sometime next week to help with her affairs, but I want to be with all of you for services this weekend.

Again, thank you for all your prayers and kind words. You all mean so much to Pam and me.

Dan Fisher

I’m hoping everyone had a great week. Here’s what’s coming to LifePoint in the next few days:

Business meeting tomorrow

Tomorrow morning, Feb 8, at 10:00 am, we will have a special business meeting to hear a short presentation on the financial details of the proposed purchase and renovation of the property located at 11200 North Eastern Ave, OKC. After that, we will vote on whether we believe this is the right step for LifePoint and to authorize the Executive Team to make an offer.

The meeting will begin with a time of concerted prayer. Afterwards will come the explanation of the financial details, and then the vote.

Please be in prayer all day today that we will know God’s mind on this most important issue.

Oklahoma Liberty Coalition training

On Feb 15 at 2:00 pm, Sue Dyer and Connie Thayer will offer a training session to teach you how to use the new website the Oklahoma Liberty Coalition has created to assist you in knowing what bills our state legislature is deliberating while they are in session. This new tool will help you better guard your liberty and unalienable rights. The training will take place in room 202 on the second floor just outside the entrance to Constitution Hall where we take care of our children on Sundays. If you are interested, plan on being there. If you have any questions, see Sue or Connie.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – business meeting. If there is time after the business meeting, we will have our Pastor’s/BRR class. Based on questions I have received lately about cremation, I will teach a short lesson on what the Bible teaches about the proper way to deal with the remains of our loved ones. With the increased costs of funerals and the growing popularity of cremation, this is becoming a more frequently asked question. Come and hear what Scripture says about the issue we all will eventually face in one way or another.

• Worship/Preaching service, 11 am – based on questions about what the Bible teaches about divine election, eternal security, Christians who commit suicide, and whether hell is eternal conscious torment or annihilation, we are presently in the message series, “Saved.” These messages attempt to answer these important questions. For the past 3 messages, we have been dealing with the issue of divine election and will begin winding down that discussion tomorrow with the message, “Does God Predestine People For Hell?” Because Calvinism has become so “in vogue” these days, many are being confused by its teachings. The question as to if God “determines” the vast majority of people for hell is critical and has a massive impact on how we read Scripture and preach/share the Gospel. If you’ve been told God “desires” that people go to hell and that He only “chooses” a minority to go to heaven, and are confused or wondering about that, you’ll definitely want to hear this message. If you have missed any of the previous 3 messages on election, they are available on our church website at lbcok.com.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Dan Fisher

I hope everyone was able to receive/read the email we sent out earlier this week about a special town hall meeting tomorrow where we will be sharing about a potential facility for LifePoint we have discovered. The Executive Team is excited to share the details with you! Of course, God’s will is paramount, so as we approach this potential permanent home for our church, we want to do so with His plan in the forefront of our minds. That said, out of all the properties and facilities I have seen, this one excites me the most and appears to, with some renovations, come the closest to meeting our needs – and at a price that may be just right for us.

So tomorrow, we will have a town hall meeting at 10 am to discuss the possibilities. Remember: we do not plan to vote on anything at this meeting but simply to share the details of this property with you. Of course, we could decide tomorrow to schedule an official vote for Feb 8 to authorize the E.T. to move toward making an offer on this property. However, that will be up to you. Come hear about this exciting possibility!


Oklahoma Liberty Coalition

Do you ever feel like it is impossible to know what our legislators are doing when they are in session at our state capitol? How can we know if they are doing the bidding of “we the people” or are simply serving the establishment and special interests? Unfortunately, they have created a system over the years that makes it essentially impossible to follow what they are doing when they are in session.

Thankfully, a group of OK patriots are working on a way to remedy that situation by developing a user-friendly website that tracks state legislation and the legislators so you can actually know what some of these weasels are doing at the Capitol. This effort is being spearheaded by the Oklahoma Liberty Coalition, and what’s more, our own Sue Dyer and Connie Thayer are an active part. Thank you, ladies!

On Feb 15 at 2:00 pm, Sue and Connie will offer a training session to teach you how to use this new tool so you can guard your liberty and rights. The training will take place in room 202 on the second floor, just outside the entrance to Constitution Hall, where we take care of our children on Sundays. If you are interested, plan on being there. If you have any questions, see Sue or Connie.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – Town hall meeting about a potential home for LifePoint
• Worship/Preaching service, 11 am – we will continue our “Saved” message series by discussing our first subject of the series – “divine election.” Tomorrow I will be covering part 3 of this discussion entitled, “Is a forced will a free will?” Calvinism has become “in vogue” these days, and many are being confused by its teachings. I believe this has a massive negative impact on the church and on believers individually. If you want to know whether the Bible teaches that we have “libertarian/free will” or that God “enforces His will on the elect,” you’ll want to hear this message. Of course, each one of these messages is predicated on the ones previous, so if you had to miss parts 1 & 2, you can check them out on our church website at lbcok.com.

Don’t forget to pray for our struggling members

Please be praying for those in our church who are battling with physical issues. We have a good number of folks who are struggling. If you know someone who is having a tough time and can reach out to them either by text message, email, phone call, or personal visit, I know it would be a blessing to them – not to mention to yourself as well. Although we have shepherds at LifePoint who minister to their flocks, we all need to perform the work of a minister and lift up those who need a special touch. Who knows? Tomorrow, it might be you or me who is in need of care. And don’t forget, Jesus said that when we “do it to the least of these, we’re doing it to Him.” Don’t miss a chance to minister to our Lord by ministering to someone who needs your help.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Dan Fisher

Dear LifePoint family,

I hope everyone is beginning to dig out of the snow. Wow! We’re told that we received almost 11 inches out here where we live.

I want to express a special thanks to those who have been reaching out to others in the congregation to lend a helping hand. You guys are the greatest!

If you need help, don’t hesitate to give us a shout. We have many in our church who want to serve.

I’m sure many of you are still reeling from hearing about the loss of the gift property on 33rd and S. Bryant. Although the Executive Team knew from the outset that the land had some restrictions attached, we were not prepared for the full list once we saw it on Jan 12. Somewhat shaken by the scope of the restrictions, the E.T. responded on Jan 13 with sincere questions and concerns – especially about required construction deadlines that we have no way of knowing we can satisfy right now. The donors responded to our questions/concerns by simply rescinding their offer of the land on the morning of Jan 14.

Certainly, the E.T. did not intend our questions/concerns to offend the donors or jeopardize the gift. However, in good faith, we just could not commit LifePoint to the full list of restrictions without further clarification.

Since the gift was rescinded, we have prayerfully backed up to re-evaluate God’s plan for a future location for our church. With that as a backdrop, we have begun the search again.

On Thursday, Jan 22, we toured a wonderful facility that could, with some alterations, meet the needs of our congregation – and at a doable price; at least potentially.

The E.T. would like to hold a townhall meeting this Sunday, Feb 1, during the Pastor’s/BRR Class at 10 am to share the details. We will not be voting on anything – only discussing the potential of this property. However, based on how the congregation feels, we could decide to schedule a vote for as early as Sunday, Feb 8.

Although we do not know for certain if this is the place God has for us, the E.T. is excited to share it with you this Sunday. Come hear the details – and be praying that God will make His will clear to us.

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe in this snow.

From the very best weather reports we can get, they are still predicting another 6”-8” inches of snowfall this evening. Additionally, it is predicted to be 5 degrees tomorrow morning.

The last thing we want is for anyone to have a car accident trying to get to church or to slip and fall trying to get into the UCO facility.

Although I am normally hesitant to cancel services, given the amount of snow predicted overnight, I think it would be better if we did not have services tomorrow.

Therefore, our services for Sunday, Jan 25, are cancelled.

In the meantime, if anyone needs anything over the next few days (all of the time, actually), don’t hesitate to reach out. Do not hesitate to contact me. We will get to you as quickly as we can.  (If you do not already have my personal email address and cell phone number, check your email inbox for today's email, or use the contact form on our church website.)

Stay safe and enjoy a Sunday without having to listen to me!!  Ha!  Gary Davis is shouting for joy!  

Dan Fisher

Good evening LifePoint family,

As I’m sure most of you are aware, the weather service is predicting a significant winter storm this weekend.  If their predictions are correct, we could receive an astonishing 13 inches of snow.  Even if it doesn’t snow that much, we will likely still receive significant snowfall and with temperatures predicted to remain well below freezing, whatever snow does fall will stay around for a while.

Therefore, it is likely we will have to cancel Sunday services this weekend.  Although I am normally hesitant to do that, this storm is predicted to be so strong, none of us will likely want to be out traveling early Sunday morning – even if we only get half the snow they’re predicting.

That said, we don’t want to prematurely cancel services and then regret it if the storm turns out not to be as strong as they’re predicting.  So, we will be watching the weather closely, as I’m sure you will as well, and if the storm turns out to be as fierce Friday evening and Saturday morning as we’re being told, we will send out an official email early Saturday letting you know what we are going to do.

Stay safe and we’ll communicate something definitive as soon as we see what happens.

Dan Fisher

Prayer needs

Although I know there are many who need our prayer, please remember the following (and others I didn’t list):

• Bob and LaWanda O’Day - LaWanda had to have hip surgery last Saturday
• John and Cheryl Williams - John is still in the rehab hospital but is making good progress and should go home next Thursday
• Cheryle Conser - still battling with a torn ankle tendon
• Paul Kelly - still recovering from his physical challenges
• Peggy Burress - she is doing much better but still facing physical issues
• Robin Ross - still battling back pain and other challenges

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am - we will complete our study on the Archangel Michael’s battle with Satan over Moses’ body and will then answer a question asked last week: “Can evil stand in God’s presence?” If you missed last Sunday or simply want to review the previous lesson, you will find the link here.
  
  
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am - we got off to a great start last week with our new message series, “Saved.” This series will cover subjects like election, eternal security, ending life by suicide, and eternal conscious torment vs. annihilation. Tomorrow, we will examine part 2 of our discussion on the election entitled, “How Calvinists misinterpret the subject of God’s sovereignty.” By teaching “meticulous divine determinism,” Calvinists claim God controls every single thing that happens and essentially nullify individual will. Is this what Scripture teaches? Come join us in this revealing study!

As always, I look forward to worshipping with you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

Praying everyone has had a great week!

Land update

Now, with the holidays past, the Executive Team has renewed our efforts to get the process going that will eventually lead us to the official acquisition of the land on 33rd and S. Bryant.

This Wednesday, we will be meeting with a firm that could potentially draw up a site plan, help us secure a “special use” permit, and then take us all the way to the building permit and the deeding of the property to LifePoint.

So far, we know this process has been painstakingly slow, but we’re being told by everyone that this is typical.  As we move forward, we will keep everyone updated as to our progress.  If we reach the place where we need to spend a significant amount of money in order to continue moving forward, we will bring that to the congregation for approval.

Please be praying that God will clear the way and make His will obvious to us.  As I know you are aware, we only want His perfect will for our church.

LifePoint Women’s Ministry

• All our Bible studies will start back this coming week of Jan 12-16.

• You can still sign up for the Tuesday evening Kay Arthur Bible study, “Spiritual Warfare: Overcoming the Enemy.”  Susan Cro will be teaching the class that will presently be meeting in the home of Robert & Pam Jackson (see Susan or the emailed newsletter for address).

• We are still looking for a permanent host home (preferably in east Edmond) for the new Tuesday night study.

• Please contact the Women’s Min. leadership team if you have any questions or would consider hosting a study. (See the emailed newsletter for more details.)

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – we will complete our study on the Nephilim (giants) of Gen 6:1-4, and then discuss the “strange” passage in Jude 8-11 where Michael guards the body of Moses and withstands Satan.  What in the world is that all about?  We’ll find out.  Come join us!

• Worship/Service, 11 am – we will begin a brand-new sermon series entitled, “Saved.”  This important series will remind us from what, for what, and to what we’re saved and will discuss topics like election, eternal security, ending life by suicide, eternal conscious torment vs. annihilation.  This proves to be a power-packed series and one you’ll not want to miss.

 Members needing prayer

Although I am always hesitant to mention specific prayer needs by name because I know I will not list every one (please forgive me if I overlook any), I do want to bring you a few updates and remind you to pray for these needs:

• John Williams is progressing from his falls and has been moved to the Oklahoma City Rehabilitation Hospital at 10240 N. Broadway.  I know he and Cheryl appreciate your prayers and contacts.

• Paul Kozlosky is continuing his chemo treatments in Arizona.  He is holding his own right now and he and Sonya desire your prayers.  If you get a chance, reach out to them.  I know they would be blessed.

• Cheryle Conser is still battling with a torn ankle tendon.  Pray for the doctors to know how to treat her.

• Remember Bob and LeWanda O’Day as Lewanda continues to battle with her cancer.

• Paul Kelly continues to make progress in his recovery.  Remember him in your prayers as well.

End-of-year giving statements

Val has 2025 Giving Statements ready for pickup at the Welcome Desk—stop by anytime! I've never witnessed a more generous church family. Through your faithful giving, God is at work in mighty ways. What an honor it is to serve among you.

As always, I look forward to worshipping with you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

Hope everyone is enjoying a great start to 2026!

We have many who need our prayers, but I want to ask you to especially remember John and Cheryl Williams this evening.  John fell yesterday and banged himself up a bit and apparently broke one of the bones in his hand.  Thank the Lord, he wasn’t injured more seriously.  However, they had to take him back to the E.R. tonight because he fell again.  His blood pressure is low and they think this is why he keeps falling – however, they are not certain.  So, they are keeping him in the hospital overnight to see if they can determine why his vitals are so low.  I know John and Cheryl would appreciate your prayers.  Also, please remember Robin Ross as she battles with her physical challenges.  As I said, there are many others who also need our prayers, so I ask you to lift them up as well.

Tomorrow at LifePoint:

• Pastor’s/BRR class, 10 am – we will continue our discussion of the Book of Enoch as we focus on the difficult passage of Gen 6:1-4.  Who were the “sons of God” who married the “daughters of men”?  Come explore this intriguing subject with us.
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am – tomorrow I will be preaching a message that will be a great way to begin 2026.  You won’t want to miss it!

Be sure to check out important announcements below!

As always, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

1. All LifePoint women’s Bible studies start back the week of January 12th.

2. We are still looking for a host home for the new Tuesday night Bible study. Pam Jackson has graciously offered her till we are able to find a permanent home. Please contact the women’s ministries leadership team if you would consider hosting. We are looking for someone in east Edmond.

3. If you are interested and/or want to sign up for the new Bible study starting January 13th, please see Susan Cro at the welcome desk. She will have information sheets (including meeting addresses) and a sign-up list.

Spiritual Warfare: Overcoming the Enemy
by Kay Arthur, David & BJ Lawson.
Led by Susan Cro
Day/Time: Tuesday or Thursday from 6:00-7:30pm

4 The Wednesday morning Bible study will continue on January 14th to finish the current study. Then, on February 4th, they will begin a study on prayer. Check out the information below.

Precept: Know God Deeply Study Series entitled: The Purpose of Prayer
Led by: Pam Fisher
Day/Time: Wednesday mornings from 10-12

I hope everyone had a blessed and merry Christmas on Thursday!  I know numerous celebrations continue and some of you may still be traveling.  Even with the business of the holiday season, I hope those still in the area can join us tomorrow for services at UCO.

With so much going on post-Christmas, I’ll keep this email brief.

Only a few days left for end-of-the-year giving

If you have any additional gifts you want recorded in the church financial records for 2025, you only have a few days left to get it to Val.  The church books will close Wednesday, Dec 31.  If you need to make special arrangements, see Val tomorrow at church. Online giving can be accessed by clicking here.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10 am – We will continue our discussion surrounding the Book of Enoch by beginning an in-depth study of Gen 6:1-4.  Were the “giants” who exited before the flood (and after) the progeny of a perverted cohabitation of demons and humans?  Is it even possible for demons to intermarry with humans?  Who were the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men”?  Is this a place where the Bible hints at “hidden knowledge” the Book of Enoch talks about? Do the answers affect how we understand the whole of Scripture?  Come join us and find out.

• Worship/Preaching Service, 11 am – We will complete our December message series, “Incarnate,” with part 4: “When ‘the Word’ becomes flesh.”  If the “incarnation” was a one-time event, how is it correct to say, “when the Word becomes flesh”?  Come hear the answer and experience the finale to this important message series.

Women's Ministry

We have a new Women’s Bible study starting January 2026. Please see the welcome desk for an information sheet on this study.
Spiritual Warfare: Overcoming the Enemy by Kay Arthur, David & BJ Lawson.
Led by Susan Cro
Day/Time: Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30 pm
Hostess: Pam Jackson

As always, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

LifePoint Family,

It seems like only yesterday we began working together with all of you in the Bible Study at the Will Rogers Center on Jan 21, 2024 (photo below). Wow! Look at what the Lord has done in the few months since!

So, on this, LifePoint’s second Christmas, Pam and I want to wish all of you a Christ-honoring, blessed, and Merry Christmas. We feel so blessed to get to work with all you to advance His Kingdom’s work.

I am excited to see what God has in store for us in 2026!

God bless all of you.

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
Dan Fisher

Before sharing about tomorrow’s services, I do want to give a special "thank you" to Janeece West for playing Christmas songs in the lobby before our services last week.  Great job Janeece!  She’ll be playing again tomorrow. It adds the most amazing Christmas spirit to our Sunday mornings in the foyer.
 
Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10:00 am – I’ll be teaching “10 Christmas Questions Every Christian Should Be Able To Answer.”  Join us for this timely message.
  
  
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11:00 am – We will complete our Christmas message series, “Incarnate,” with part 3: “The first step of an agonizing descent.”  If you missed part 1 or 2, you can catch up by listening to them by clicking here.
  
  

Come celebrate with us on this final Sunday before Christmas and enjoy the food, fellowship, and Christmas music before the services. Don't forget this is the last Sunday you can bring Christmas cards to add to the Christmas Card Exchange! Be sure to check for any that have been brought to you as well.

As always, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

I want to begin with a very special thank you to Gary Davis for his superb budget presentation last Sunday. The great amount of work he put into the 2026 budget was both evident and perfectly aligned our assets for the coming year in a way that optimizes our ministry priorities and honors the Lord. His review of 2025 also helped us get a good picture of where we are at the end of this year. Thank you, Gary. Your work is vital to the health of our church.

Along those lines, I also want to thank all of you, the LifePoint congregation, for your agreeable and trusting spirit. You are incredible to work with, and you make taking care of the “fiscal business” of the church a blessing rather than a burden.

If any of you want greater details about the budget or have any questions along the way, please do not hesitate to ask any of the members of the Executive Team. However, Gary is likely the best of us to direct your budget/financial questions to. He will be happy to help answer any questions you have.

Annual Christmas luncheon

Tomorrow, Dec 14, we will host our second annual Christmas luncheon for our 70+ aged widows, widowers, and senior couples who may not be able to celebrate Christmas with their families this year. Pam and I are looking forward to being with you and celebrating the Christmas season with you.

If you are not 70+ years old, but are single, a widow, a widower, or a couple who will not be able to celebrate Christmas with your family, we would still love to have you join us. Please let us know you are coming. It is important we get a headcount for this event. For your convenience, you can sign up at the welcome desk on Sunday.

The luncheon will be from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Location to be announced Sunday morning at church. If you have any questions, please email Val.  See you there.

Update on the land

Very soon, we will be meeting with Victoria Hyde, a designing architect, to hopefully begin a process of her navigating us through the design of a site plan, securing the “special use” permit from Edmond, plans for a future structure, securing the “building” permit from Edmond, and the eventual deeding of the property (on 33rd and S. Bryant streets) to LifePoint.

Unfortunately, this process is moving quite slowly, and we have no idea how long it will be until our church officially owns the property. We will certainly keep you posted when there is a significant development. In the meantime, let’s be praying that God goes before us to guide us into His perfect will. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or any of the members of the E.T.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10:00 am – we will continue our intriguing study of the Book of Enoch and keep moving closer to the answer of the ultimate question: “Why is the Book of Enoch not included in our Bible?” Come join us in this interesting study.
• Worship/Preaching Service, 11:00 am – last week we got off to a good start in our 2025 Christmas celebration. We began the message series: “Incarnate.” If you missed part 1, you can listen by going to our website at Lbcok.com (see links below). Tomorrow, we will continue this important doctrinal discussion of what it really means for Jesus to have “become flesh and ‘tabernacled’ among us” with part 2. Come celebrate Christmas with us and enjoy the food and fellowship before the services.

One last special thank you

I want to give out another special thank you. This time, I want to thank our welcome teams for always being faithful to offer a special welcome to all of us in the parking lot and the doors of the Nigh Bldg. Additionally, we are incredibly thankful for the hospitality team and their hard work to provide delicious breakfast treats for us every Sunday. To all of you, God bless you for your wonderful service. You make LifePoint a better place.

As always, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Dan Fisher 

Hope all of you had a great week and are enjoying a wonderful Saturday.
 
A special thanks to the guys who helped move Laney Holmberg on Wednesday.  We got everything moved in about 2 hrs!  I know Laney and her mother, Sharon Humphries, were very appreciative.  You guys are the greatest.
 

Annual Budget presentation
 
Tomorrow at 10:00 am, we will have our annual business meeting to approve the church budget for 2026.  Gary Davis will give a brief update on how this year’s giving and budget are going and will then present the 2026 budget that the Executive Team is proposing.  Gary and the E.T. (primarily Gary) have been working on this budget since early fall, and you will be blessed to hear how financially strong our church is.
 
*The business meeting should not take the whole hour, so if there is time after the budget has been approved, we will continue our Pastor’s/BRR class study we began last week on the Book of Enoch.
 
 
Christmas season is here!
 
Tomorrow, we begin our official celebration of Christmas.  We’ll begin singing Christmas songs and I’ll start a 3-part message entitled “Incarnate.”  More about that later.

Special Christmas lunch
 
On Dec 14, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, LifePoint will host its second annual Christmas lunch for our widows, widowers, and senior adults.  Last week, we began compiling a list of names, but very few signed up.  That may be due to my not explaining who is invited clearly.  So, let me attempt to clarify: if you attended the lunch last year or are a widow, widower, or one of our senior adult families, this lunch is for you.  Pam and I are looking forward to celebrating with all of you on Dec. 14. It is important that we get a headcount for this event. For your convenience, you can sign up at the welcome desk on Sunday. Check your email inbox for the location and more details.

LifePoint Women’s Ministry
 
We are excited to announce that we are expanding our teaching team beginning January 2026! Welcome: Cheryl Williams, Kari Chynoweth, and Susan Cro as our newest teachers.  Thank you gals for stepping up to serve.
 
Coming in 2026:

• Wed., Jan 14, 2026 – the Colossians' Bible study will continue with Cheryl Williams and Kari Chynoweth leading.  It will continue to meet on Wed. evenings from 6:30 – 8:00 pm in Margaret Bobbin's home.
• New study beginning Jan 2026 – “Spiritual Warfare: Overcoming the Enemy,” by Kay Arthur, David & BJ Lawson. This new study will be led by Susan Cro on Tuesday or Thursday evenings (depending on who signs up) from 6:00 – 7:30 pm., and will meet in Pam Jackson’s home at 3025 Spyglass Hill Rd, Edmond.
•  Beginning February 4 – Precepts study from the “Know God Deeply Study Series,” entitled, “The Purpose of Prayer.”  This study will be led by Pam Fisher on Wednesday mornings from 10-12 in Linda Barger’s home at 6808 Chelsey Lane OKC.

 
Tomorrow at LifePoint
 

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10:00 am – annual budget presentation.  If there is time afterwards, we will continue the study we began last week: “The Book of Enoch – should it be in the Bible?”  We got off to a great start last week on this intriguing study.  Come join us – there’s more to this study than just the Book of Enoch! 
•  Worship/Preaching Service, 11:00 am – we will begin a 3-part Christmas message series entitled, “Incarnate.”  There’s a lot more to Christmas than a baby in a manger, shepherds, wise men, carols, decorations, and presents.  God becoming flesh is one of the most important doctrines of the Christian faith.  And yet, the average believer cannot articulate why.  This series will help equip us to better understand and explain the wonder of God becoming “one of us.”

As always, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

I hope everyone had a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. This is a great time of the year! Although it’s hard to believe, Christmas is only 4 weeks away. Next week, we’ll begin our celebration of God’s becoming “one of us” so He could die in our place. The “Incarnation” is a critical biblical doctrine, so it’s definitely something worth celebrating. To help us create a “Christmas atmosphere,” our choir has prepared beautiful Christmas songs, and we’ll be singing other wonderful congregational Christmas songs as well. December at LifePoint is going to be fantastic!

Special "thank you" to our hospitality team

Speaking of fantastic, I want to give a special thank you to Beth McDowell and our hospitality team for the incredible Thanksgiving breakfast they provided last Sunday during our fellowship time before services. They went “over and above the call of duty,” and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Beth and her team do such a great job every Sunday making us feel like we’re at home at UCO. If you get a chance, let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.

Christmas lunch on December 14

Last year, LifePoint hosted our very first Christmas lunch for our widows, widowers, and others who will not be able to celebrate Christmas with their families. It was such a huge hit, we have scheduled our next lunch for December 14 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. (Contact us for the meeting location.)  LifePoint will be providing the lunch, so if you are in this category and would like to attend, please sign up tomorrow at the welcome desk in the lobby.

Tomorrow at LifePoint

• Pastor’s/BRR Class, 10:00 am – recently, several have been asking about the Book of Enoch and why Jude quotes from it in his letter in our New Testament. 1st Enoch contains some fantastic/whimsical/strange teachings like angels (called the Watchers) who intermarried with humans and produced a race of giants called the Nephilim, who helped usher in the Flood, and other stories like angelic warfare that brought sin into the world. Is the Book of Enoch legitimate, and if it is, why is it not in our Bible? Although on its surface, this may seem to be a side issue, in reality, it is an important one because it raises an even greater question about whether our Bible is complete or not. So tomorrow, we will begin exploring Enoch, why Jude felt comfortable quoting from it, and why it is not in our Bibles. This will be a very interesting and enlightening study. Come join us.

• Worship/Preaching Service, 11:00 am – three weeks ago, I began a multiple-part sermon entitled, “Is socialism/communism Christian?” For numerous reasons, for a couple of Sundays, we had to pull away from that message to deal with other topics. Tomorrow, we will return to that discussion and continue the message with part 2. Given the leftward lean of our culture, this is an incredibly timely subject that every Christian needs to understand from a biblical perspective. Join us as we continue this important message.

Opportunity to serve our LifeBody ministry

Although we understand that weekday projects are difficult for many of you who have full-time jobs, our LifeBody ministry is helping Laney Holmberg (daughter of Sharon Humphries, who attends our church) move from one apartment to another on Monday morning. Laney has multiple health issues and is mostly homebound, having to use a walker or a wheelchair to be mobile. She’s been working with the Mayo Clinic since June, trying to stabilize her health enough to return to the workforce. Because of her health challenges, Laney needs to move from a second-floor apartment to one on the first floor.

So, on Monday (Dec 1) at 10:00 am, those who can help will meet to move Laney. Be aware that there is a 16-step staircase we will have to use to access Laney’s present apartment. Check your email or contact Gary Davis for the actual address.

This is a great opportunity for us to serve one of our faithful families. If enough of us can help, we should be able to complete the move fairly quickly. If you can come, please bring a two-wheel dolly if you have one, and if anyone can bring a small tool chest that might come in handy as well. Sharon Humphries will provide chili & drinks for lunch.

Annual Budget Presentation Reminder

On Dec 7, the Executive Team will present the proposed budget for 2026. Gary Davis will deliver a condensed review of the 2025 budget and then give us an update on our present financial status. Then, he will present the 2026 budget for your approval. The business meeting will begin at 10:00 am, and if the meeting doesn’t go too long, we will continue our study in the Pastor’s/BRR class afterwards. If you have questions about the budget, don’t hesitate to reach out to Gary.

I wanted to take a moment to reach out and share what tomorrow’s services will look like, as well as a few special needs we have within our church family.

First, tomorrow’s services:

• Pastor/BRR Class, 10:00 am – for those of you who normally attend, we have been studying a lesson series entitled, “Truths on truth.”  This series is critical for every believer – especially given the blurring of truth lines in our culture by the spiritual/political Left. Last Sunday, we began lesson 5, “If truth cannot be known, why believe anything at all?”  Tomorrow, we will continue that discussion.  Come join us.

• Worship/Preaching Service, 11:00 am – we will celebrate our annual Thanksgiving celebration.  It’ll be great!  We are all so blessed, none of us should have any difficulty finding a reason to offer up a heartfelt thank you to the Lord – Who is far better to us than we deserve.  I hope you can be there.

Special needs at LifePoint

We frequently have members of our congregation who need assistance – whether financial or otherwise.  Typically, because of your faithful giving, we can meet the financial needs without asking for any type of special offering.  However, right now, we have a few needs that are requiring us to make significant draws from our LifeBody funds.  If you feel led to give any type of special offering to help handle some of these needs, then simply designate it to our LifeBody fund. Be assured that we have gone ahead and met those needs, so regardless of the giving to LifeBody, these wonderful folks have already been ministered to by all of us.

Secondly, we have a member who needs to find a house to rent.  If you have any rental property or know of a good house that is available, please let us know so we can pass along the information.  Her budget is $1,500/mo or less, and she is seeking a three-bedroom house with a backyard (preferably on the edge of town).  She prefers not to be in town if at all possible.

And last, we have several folks who need our prayers because of the physical challenges they are presently facing.  I know they appreciate your intercession on their behalf.

Annual Budget Presentation

On Dec 7, the Executive Team will present the proposed budget for 2026. Gary Davis will deliver a condensed review of the 2025 budget and then give us an update on our present financial status. Then, he will present the 2026 budget for your approval. The business meeting will begin at 10:00 am, and if the meeting doesn’t go too long, we will continue our study in the Pastor’s/BRR class afterwards. If you have questions about the budget, don’t hesitate to reach out to Gary.

As always, I look forward to worshipping Jesus with you tomorrow,
Dan Fisher

Get your Christmas cards written because this year we will have a Christmas Card Exchange "mailbox" at LifePoint! This will help everyone avoid costly postage and be able to share cards with LifePoint friends. The mailbox will be at the Welcome Desk beginning Sunday, Nov 30. It will have this sign (above) on the front.

• To Send a Card: Label your envelope clearly with the recipient's full name. File it alphabetically by last name in the "mailbox" (A–Z tabs).
• To Receive a Card: Check the "mailbox" (A–Z tabs) for your last name. Grab any cards addressed to you!
