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.

So That You May Know That You Have Eternal Life

You can know that you have eternal life! The Bible tells you that you can know. The Bible tells you how you can know. And the Bible tells you how your life on earth will be changed forever when you know that you have eternal life. In 1 John 5:6-13, the Bible speaks of three witnesses that give testimony about who Jesus is. And in these verses, the Bible declares that the letter of 1 John was written So That You May Know That You Have Eternal Life.

Living In The Last Hour

What if you only had one hour left on earth? How would you spend your time? What would you do that will last for eternity? When reading 1 John 2:18-29, three questions came to mind: 1) Why do we care about antichrists? 2) What is the deal with 'the anointing'? and 3) What does it mean to 'remain in Him'? Living In The Last Hour. We live in amazing times. We need God and His wisdom more than ever. Listen here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/livinginthelasthour.mp3

Have You Been Adopted By God?

No one enters God's family by natural birth. No one becomes one of God's children just by being good or being religious. Everyone who becomes a child of God does so by being adopted into His family. God is a loving heavenly Father who wants to adopt you! This message, Have You Been Adopted By God? from Galatians 4:1-7 challenges you to look deep into your own heart to see if you are one of God's children. Eternal life is at stake. And the blessings of being adopted into God's family are out of this world! Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/haveyoubeenadoptedbygod.mp3
