Sacrifice

Sacrifice. On Memorial Day, we honor those who have given their lives to defend our nation. But Jesus calls us to be willing to give our lives for Him. To give our lives totally to Him. What does Jesus mean when He says, "deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow Me"? In this message from Luke 9:23-27, we discuss Sacrifice. Led by Pastor Derek and including questions and answers from the congregation.... Listen here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/Sacrifice.mp3

Yield Yourselves to God!

Sin is battling against us. In Christ, we have been set free from the power of sin. God wants us to yield ourselves to Him so that we will live a holy life in every way. In this message from Romans 6:1-23 and other passages, evangelist Shawn Holes challenges us: "Yield Yourselves to God!" Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/yieldyourselvestoGod.mp3

Spiritual Cairns

Like Abraham, we are on a faith journey with God. Abraham lived in a tent and built altars to the Lord. Why? What can we learn from him? By looking closely at Abraham's life, we can learn a lot about dealing with temptations, difficulties and success. LPBC member Ryan Silvius shares a message entitled Spiritual Cairns from Genesis 12:1-13:4. Listen here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/spiritualcairns.mp3

Little Children, Guard Yourselves From Idols

Idols were a huge temptation to God's people in Old and New Testament times. Idols are still a huge temptation to people today. What is an idol? How do we guard ourselves from idols? Why are idols such a big deal? These and other questions are addressed as Pastor Derek discusses 1 John 5:18-21 with a group of people at LPBC. The format for this message is very different than any we've done before. It's a bit like it would have been for Jesus as He sat in the synagogues and discussed Scripture with the folks in the first century.
