It Won't Last Forever

When times get tough, it seems that the difficult days will never end. Remember: suffering won't last forever. When times are luxurious, and at seems that the things of the world will always last, remember this: stuff won't last forever. In this message from James 4:1-11, It Won't Last Forever, God's Word helps you to examine yourself, your motives, and your focus to see if you are living life with an eternal perspective. Because things of this world are passing away. As it says in the gospels (KJV), "this too shall pass." http://lpbaptist.org/ItWontLastForever.mp3

The Bible gives us guidance on how to keep the right attitude and to live a life that is submitted to God's will, which is the best place to be. Always Talking About Tomorrow... James 4:13-17. http://www.lpbaptist.org/AlwaysTalkingAboutTomorrow.mp3

On a Journey with the LORD

Life is a journey. As a follower of Christ, we are on a lifelong journey with the LORD. In Proverbs 16:9, we read: "A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps." How do we make sure our heart is in line with the LORD's heart? And, how does God sovereignly determine our steps, and also speak to us so that we know which way to go?

The Good News about Jesus and the Resurrection

When the apostle Paul stood on the hill in Athens to proclaim the good news of Jesus, he was speaking to people with a variety of worldviews. He shocked them when he spoke of Jesus' resurrection. Some ridiculed his words and dismissed him. Some were curious and wanted to hear more. Some believed in Christ and trusted in Jesus as Lord & Savior. How would you respond to Paul's message? How would people you know respond? The Good News about Jesus and the Resurrection. Acts 17:16-34. http://www.lpbaptist.org/TheGoodNewsAboutJesusAndTheResurrection.mp3

Above And Beyond All We Ask or Think

God can do Above and Beyond All That We Ask or Think! Sometimes situations seem impossible to us. But they are not impossible to God. Health issues, bad habits, financial challenges, relationship problems, sinful behavior - these are just a few of the things that God wants to help you with. Turn to Him. Trust in Him. Then, when He does amazing things - give Him glory! From Ephesians 3:20-21. Three members of Hebron Baptist Church - Karen Fowler, Marvin Sibley, and Dustin Wilbanks - join Pastor Derek to discuss and teach this message. http://www.lpbaptist.org/AboveAndBeyondAllWeAskOrThink.mp3

Partners in the Gospel

We can partner with people on a lot of things: business ventures, vacations, friendships, sports, hobbies, family situations, and much, much more. But the one thing the apostle Paul was most thankful for when he wrote a letter to the Philippians was their partnership with him in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. And we can be thankful too for the Partners in the Gospel that we have - churches and Christians around the world who are working like us to tell people the good news of Jesus Christ. In this message, from Philippians 1:1-5, you will see how God is using each of us to encourage others to take the good news of Jesus to people who so desperately need Him. http://www.lpbaptist.org/PartnersInTheGospel.mp3
