Four Things I Learned From Luke 4:14-15 That I Am Praying For Every Community

When you pray for communities, what do you pray for? As I pray for communities this upcoming year, I have four clear things that I am praying for. I learned these from Luke 4. Four Things I Learned From Luke 4:14-15 That I Am Praying For Every Community. I am praying this for every community of the North Country of Northern New York, as well as Nicaragua, and more. God's Word is amazing. Read it and apply it, and it will change your life. It can change our communities too! Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/4thingsilearnedfromluke4.mp3

Freedom Is What You Have

In Christ, you are free! You are no longer enslaved to the power of sin or the power of Satan. You are no longer enslaved to the legalism of the law. You are no longer enslaved to the bad habits of your sinful nature. In Christ, you have power, freedom, joy, grace and victory over sin, victory over your flesh, and victory over Satan. In this message from Galatians 2:15-21 and other select passages from Galatians, LPBC member Tom Smith reminds you that Freedom Is What You Have. Let God's Word transform your mind, your heart, and your actions so that you can walk in freedom with Christ. Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/FreedomIsWhatYouHave.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.

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.

Stand Firm In The Lord

Life tries to knock you down: pressures, temptations, struggles, problems. Dear brothers & sisters, God empowers you to stand firm in the Lord. How do we do this? Is there anything that this world or satan throws at us that we cannot overcome? When we stand firm in the Lord, we encourage others and give a powerful witness of how Christ is at work in us. Standing firm in the Lord includes learning to live in unity with other believers. In Philippians 4:1-3, Paul encourages us to Stand Firm In The Lord.

We Will Not Serve Your gods

The world wants us to bow down to its "idols." This has been going on for centuries. The people of God are continually being pressured to serve the gods that others are serving. What are some of the idols in our land? What does it mean to "not bow down to them"? Where do we find the faith to stand strong for the Lord? Will God be there for us if we refuse to serve the false gods? If you stand for the Lord, what impact will that have on others? These and other questions are answered in this message from Daniel 3, entitled We Will Not Serve Your gods. Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/wewillnotserveyourgods.mp3
