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?

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.
