I believe in God the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ
his only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried:
he descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.

Once again, LCF is meeting in an actual church building.  That's right, complete with stained glass windows and a balcony, Park United Methodist is our new home.  It is located close to campus on High Street close to Woodland Park and the guy's house.

As we are transitioning into a new building, we are wrapping up our study of Joshua.  Through our study of Exodus we learned much about God's delivering power toward His children.  We also learned about His disciplining work as He purifies us of our Egyptian ways.  In Joshua, we learned how to walk in victory and posses the land that God has given us.  We have also observed time and time again that it is important to press into God and walk in relationship with him whether we are wandering in the wilderness or victoriously entering the promised land.  Now as we conclude this study we must take these principles and be doers of the word and not hearers only. 

Pedro Basilio from Ayutla Christian Fellowship in Mexico gives a teaching on humility. Rather than simply a feeling of being inferior, true humility is: 1) what God desires of every nation, 2) the result of being yoked together with and taught by Jesus, 3) being willing to learn, 4) daily taking up your cross, 5) placing others higher than yourself, 6) following without question, and 7) the only way God can dwell in a human heart.

I've been asked countless times how CTS is going. The answer is simply that God is having his way. Just like two years ago, when God used the summer to prepare the body for a distinct phase of growth, this summer is shaping up in much the same way. At the exact halfway point (Wednesday of week 6), it seems as if the group has clicked into high gear and will reach the transition into the fall semester at an unprecedented level of maturity. God is indeed up to something.

As you know, the campus group is operating as two groups for the summer: evangelism and CTS. As Steve Humble put it last week, "Half of you are catching the fish and the other half is cleaning 'em up." Indeed, Jesus called both those who were casting their nets and those who were mending them. I say this to express my excitement at where we are as a body: at the same time as we reach out to God's lost children, we are seeing Christ formed in those who have been found.  We sow, we water, and God displays his glory by causing growth.

Lexington Christian Fellowship traces its roots to a Bible study which began at the University of Kentucky in 1974. A few college students gathered in Haggin Hall as freshmen with a desire to know God more intimately and to make Him known to others. The Bible study grew and functioned as a small fellowship of about 20 people for several years. It met on Friday nights and was known simply as "Friday Night Fellowship."

Billy Henderson, who had been part of the study since the beginning, became the pastor when the group realized that God was calling them to become more than just a fellowship. In 1980, LCF organized as a church within the university community.

Over the following years, members of the fellowship were able to minister to many students. Many of these felt called to stay and be a part of the local church. As people married and the Lord began to add children to the families, a more diverse group of people began to call LCF their home.

Ministry to children developed; people from the community began to find the church; outreach to the University continued. God faithfully blessed and increased the group.
