But what motivated God to lay such a burden on Malachi? What was behind this strong warning and harsh words? It was not God’s wrath nor was it that God was merely annoyed. The motivation behind it all was God’s covenantal loyal love for His people. God made a covenant with Israel, a commitment to love them and keep them. He promised that He would not leave them or abandon them. And even though they rejected Him repeatedly, He would not let them go. He loved them to the extent that He would not allow them to remain in a place of disobedience and sin. He intervened to strip away what was standing between them and Him. In a similar way, if we know Christ, God has made promises to us. He has promised to never leave us or abandon us. He has promised to sanctify us and one day glorify us. And even though we may sometimes drift into sin and disobedience, He loves us too much to let us remain there. He will go to work to strip away anything that comes between us and Him. I pray you will join us this weekend for one of our worship services as we learn more about God’s love and faithfulness through the prophet Malachi.

The heart sustains life, and yet it is possible to have a real heart problem with no obvious external symptoms. You may look and feel healthy, but something could be wrong internally that is life threatening. In a similar way, the prophet Malachi dealt with issues of the heart. The nation was no longer dealing with blatant idolatry. The issue was no longer a neglect of the temple. The temple was rebuilt and they were offering sacrifice. The problem in the nation was much deeper. It was an issue of the heart. Their hearts were not right with God, and the issue was eternally dangerous. This week we begin a short study in the book of Malachi. Over the next several weeks, we will follow Malachi as he speaks prophetically to the nation on behalf of God. Malachi is the prophet of purity. He speaks to the nation and to us about what it means to have a pure heart before God. To have a spirituality that gets deeper than our skin and makes us right with God. I pray that you will plan to join us for worship this weekend. Don’t forget our Saturday night service opportunity. We worship every Saturday night at 5 pm. We also now offer an 8 am service on Sunday mornings to go along with our 9:30 am and 11:00 am services. Join us at one of our many service opportunities as we worship the Lord through song and the study of His Word. Few areas of our health are more dangerous than issues related to our heart.

In no passage is this truer than John 17. We have heard Jesus pray for Himself. We have heard Jesus pray for His disciple band, but in these closing verses we get a chance to overhear Jesus praying for you and me. Very uniquely in these verses Jesus is putting His arms around us, around Lenexa Baptist Church, and telling us what He most desires from His Father for you and me. I pray that you are planning to join us this weekend as we walk through these verses together. Make plans today. Weekend worship is a Friday decision. I’ll see you this weekend!

Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at the longest prayer of Jesus recorded in Scripture. Commonly titled “The High Priestly Prayer,” Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and all believers. This prayer gives us a glimpse into His very heart. It has been said that if you really want to know a person’s heart, you need to listen to them pray. Jesus invites you and me into His prayer so that we will know with certainty what is on His heart. What we will discover in this study is that you are on His heart. Jesus loves you so much that He died for you. He prayed for you as the hour came for Him to be crucified, and He is praying for you even now. Join us as we embark on this study throughout the month of July. Be in prayer that you will grow closer in your relationship with Jesus. Read John 17 repeatedly for your own encouragement and perhaps even memorize it. Invite a friend to join with you at any of our services or campuses. Pray boldly that Jesus will be glorified in your life, in the life of our church, and in the lives of those who have yet to believe.

It’s not hard to see where this idea comes from. In verse 7 he says, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence.” You are immediately left with the impression of someone who is running away from God. He is aware that God has searched him and knows everything about him. God has sifted through every area of his life, and now the psalmist believes that the only thing he can do is run. For this reason, many have viewed this psalm as a picture of God as the Great Pursuer and the psalmist as the great fugitive. The real theme, however, is the unlimited security and total safety that the psalmist discovers in God. God’s presence, far from being something he wants to escape, is the very security of his life. This is not a man who is fleeing from God in disobedience but a man who is running to God for security in a difficult and anxious moment. Where do you turn when things get difficult? Where do you look when anxious thoughts enter your mind? I pray you will join us this weekend as the psalmist shows us the beauty of turning to God as the One who knows us completely, is with us continually, and made us perfectly. This weekend we will also take time to honor and recognize our first responders, military service members, and veterans. This is always a very special service for our church family, and I pray that you will invite a friend to join us as we worship King Jesus.

You have been anticipating this trip for months, and then, you finally arrive. Your feet hit the ground in this anticipated place, joined by people you love, and you begin to take in all the sights and beauty of it. That’s the experience of David in Psalm 122. The experience of the pilgrim continues. He has been in a place that he should not be for too long (Psalm 120). He has anticipated the journey and the difficulties that await him, resting in God’s presence and protection to guide him along the way (Psalm 121). He thinks back on the call to go home to Jerusalem and worship with the nation. Now, in Psalm 122, he arrives. His feet are standing within the gates. The experience that David describes has practical application for our lives and our corporate worship. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we continue to join the pilgrim on his journey home.

Life can become dangerous a very scary. In Psalm 121 the pilgrim has made the decision to go home. He has dwelt too long in Meschech (Psalm 120). He now leaves and as he begins the journey and sees the danger of the mountains ahead, he wonders, “Where will my help come from?” The answer is almost too good to be true. The God of all creation, the One who made the heavens and earth, loves him, cares for him, and will not only watch over him in the present journey but will also watch over him forever. I pray you will join us with weekend. Psalm 121 is my favorite psalm. Next week it might become Psalm 122, but today it is definitely Psalm 121! I believe that through this passage, God has a word for us all. Weekend worship is a Friday decision. Make plans today to worship with us. I know that all our weekends can quickly become full, but I don’t believe you will regret taking the time to join God’s people as we gather around the Word to worship Him and hear His voice.

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known Bible stories. Where there is the light of Christianity, there is a knowledge of the Good Samaritan. Sadly, the idea of what a Good Samaritan is, the main point of the passage, is often lost to us. I pray that you will plan to join us this weekend as we study Luke 10 and dive deep on the question, “Who is my neighbor?” You will also have the chance to hear from a special guest and learn more about one of our primary missions partnerships.

Three times each year the people of Israel would ascend to Jerusalem to worship. The ascent was not only geographical but also spiritual. It was a “going home” for the nation. These psalms were sung as the people made their way up to Jerusalem, and this first psalm was a song that demonstrated their longing to return to Zion. In this psalm, we will see that the psalmist is homesick. He has spent too much time in the world, and he wants to go home. You have probably been there, too. There have been times when you have probably been homesick, geographically or spiritually. I pray you will join us this weekend as we begin our ascent with the psalmist, and as we turn our attention to our heavenly home.

As he was cleaning out the home, he looked for anything that might have value. In this episode, they found photos of Magic Johnson playing basketball when he was in high school. The owner of the home had taken the photos but thought nothing of their value and had stored them under his bed in an old shoe box. The photos were then examined by an expert who determined that they were worth thousands. The homeowner was astounded and realized that he probably should have taken better care of them. He was not living in light of their value. Many people treat God like that homeowner treated those pictures. They acknowledge God. They believe He exists, but they are completely unaffected by His value. They believe in God, but they don’t worship Him. They have never recognized His true value and His true worth. True worship is ascribing to God His ultimate worth and living in accordance with it in such a way that your life is transformed. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we look to Psalm 95 and discover true worship. Remember, weekend worship is a Friday decision. For those of you who like a heads up about which psalm we will be studying next…Psalm 120, 121, 122, 127, 130, and finally 139. Read ahead and prepare your heart for worship. See you this weekend!

For this reason, we spend most of our time focused on issues, items, and things that are trivial. Things that are demanding in the short-term, but in the long-term are unimportant. We are constantly pushed toward what is immediate, but not necessarily what is important. Throughout our study of Psalms, I have found the psalmist inviting us to a place where it is just us and God to consider and focus on the things that really matter. In most of our study, it has been David inviting us into his prayers and songs. This week, Moses, in Psalm 90, similarly invites us into his heartache to focus on and consider what really matters. To think deeply upon God and our relationship with Him. To consider our sin and its consequences in our lives. And finally, to consider God’s lovingkindness and grace. I pray that you will join us this weekend for worship as we spend time with the Lord as a corporate body of believers. Join me in praying that God would move in our worship and, most importantly, in our hearts so that we are drawn closer to Him. Pray that the Spirit of God would penetrate lost hearts so that they might come to know the joy and peace that we have found in Christ.

Perhaps you have had a desperate need for a job, a relationship, or a physical or emotional healing. In Psalm 63, David finds himself in a place of desperation. His enemy has chased him into the desert. He has no food or water and could be very near death. In that place of desperation, David cries out with urgency and clarity for the very presence of God. The great cry of his heart is not for physical water, his throne, reconciliation with his son from whom he is running, or the comfort of his palace. Instead, David longs for the presence of God like a dying man longs for water. Does this kind of thirsting after the presence of God mark your life? More personally, I have had to ask myself, “Does this thirst mark my life?” I pray that you would join us this weekend as we walk through this psalm and seek to discover more about this kind of thristing after God.

There is probably no more well-known, humbling, convicting, and encouraging psalm in the whole Bible. I encourage you to take the time to read it in preparation for worship this weekend. Come before the Word humbly and allow its truth to penetrate your heart. Prayerfully we will all realize afresh and anew the lovingkindness of God as we study it together.

He was running the 4x400m relay with his teammates. At the onset of the race, his team was doing well. Then came the handoff to Derek. He was the anchor leg. His job was to bring it home for his team. But as he turned the corner, he pulled his Achilles tendon and fell flat on his face. He laid there on the ground in desperate pain. He couldn’t walk, so he began to crawl. The audience was silent as all eyes were fixed on him as he tried to scratch his way towards the finish line. During the unfolding drama, a man ran from the stands and picked up Derek Redmond. One of the judges tried to stop him, but the man waved him off and said, “Leave me alone, this is my boy.” Derek’s father left the stands and came down to where Derek had fallen. He picked him up, put his arm over his shoulder, and with his arms around his son’s waist, helped Derek across the finish line. The crowd erupted in applause. Derek and his dad received more applause than all the other runners who needed no help. This week, as we turn our attention to Psalm 46, the psalmist reminds us of someone in the stands who is willing to come down, pick you up, and let you put your arm over His shoulder. He’ll put His arm around your waist, and He will carry you. He is not just a help. He is a very present help in times of trouble. Make plans today to worship with this us this weekend.

He knows Christ and is seeking to follow Christ and honor him in a secular, humanistic, educational environment. While he remains faithful to the Word and the gospel, he is overlooked while the accolades and recognitions go to the one who denies the gospel, God, and the Word. That is tough, but that is often the Christian life. We walk with God in faithfulness, and we sow to the Spirit and often our acts of righteousness are not immediately rewarded. On the other hand, the acts of unrighteousness and sin often face no immediate judgment. More simply, the faithful seem to suffer and the immoral and wicked seem to prosper. It is a dilemma for the believer that we all face. David faced it. He had been anointed by God. God had promised that he would be king. He walked in faithfulness, and life often got more difficult. King Saul walked in unfaithfulness, was disobedient to God, and even consulted witches, and it often appeared as though God never even noticed. Is that frustrating? When you walk with God in faithfulness, and there are no immediate rewards or recompense, and the wicked and immoral flourish, how do we respond? How do we move forward and avoid anger and bitterness? This weekend we will learn from one who had been there and was inspired by God to write Psalm 37. How do the righteous respond to the prosperity of the wicked? I pray that you will join us this Palm Sunday weekend as we worship our Savior in song and the study of His Word.

There is water in the carburetor, and it won’t run.” The wife, knowing her husband did not have a mechanical bone in his body replied, “How in the world do you know that there is water in the carburetor?” The husband, hanging his head in shame said, “The car is in the swimming pool so there must be water in the carburetor.” Obviously, the man’s problem was much bigger than what he stated. Water in the carburetor was just the tip of the iceberg. The fact of the matter is, we are more messed up than we are often willing to admit. We may only admit to some water in the carburetor when our whole life is in the pool. The first half of Psalm 36 gives us a clear presentation of the estate of man. We are guilty and we are without excuse. We may be able to dress up our lives and talk a good game, but we are all guilty. We all stand condemned before God. We all stand in absolute need of Jesus. The ground at the foot of the cross is level. The second half of the psalm gives us reason for hope. Not in ourselves but in the lovingkindness and faithfulness of God. I pray that you will make plans today to join us for worship. Church is not a hotel for saints. It is a hospital for sinners.

February 22nd, 2026 Pastor Bill Shiflett God’s glory is on full display in creation. How do we daily respond to His glory in Worship? How does the glory we observe lead to a Gospel conversation?

Interwoven into the story of Jonah’s fleeing from God’s call is the story of a group of sailors who have an unexpected encounter with God that radically alters their lives. Because of Jonah, they face a storm. At first, they pray to their gods and try everything in their own wisdom and power to get themselves out of this horrible situation. Nothing works. Everything they have relied on in the past; their gods, and their own wisdom and power won’t fix this problem. When they finally confront Jonah, who fears the Lord God of heaven, they become extremely frightened. Deep inside these men, just like us, is a knowledge of God that God has placed there. In our sin and disobedience, we suppress that truth, but it is always there. When we are confronted with storms, the truth often finds its way to the surface. We are confronted with the knowledge of God. What those sailors do next is amazing. They pray to God. They ask for forgiveness and then carry out the judgment of God on Jonah as Jonah had directed them. The storm quits raging. They make it to shore, offer sacrifices to God, and make vows. These men who set out that morning on a routine voyage ended up facing a storm that caused them to run to God, have a personal encounter with Him, and their lives and eternity were changed. Where do you turn when you encounter the storms of life? What idols do you look to? Do you rely upon your own wisdom and strength? When those fail, where do you turn? Do you have an unshakable foundation in your life that carries you through the storms? David had an unshakable foundation in the Lord. The Lord was his good, his delight, his counsel, his refuge, his inheritance, and his eternal joy and hope. This foundation provided him the strength to navigate the storms and even give him confident hope in the face of death. I pray that you will join us as we walk through Psalm 16. It is going to be another great weekend with God’s people. I hope to see you at church!

Is there anyone out there that really cares about me? As we turn our attention this weekend to Psalm 8, you can almost imagine David as a young shepherd staring into the night sky. He sees the vastness of God’s creation displayed in the heavens. He considers the majesty of the God who has created all that he sees and is overwhelmed that this same God would care for him. Not just care for him, but love him, know him, and be concerned with his life and activity. The stability of David’s life was rooted in the knowledge that God loved him. Now, more than ever, we need this same stability. In a world where we face all kinds of intellectual and atheistic pressures, we can stand firm because we know that our heavenly Father cares for us. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we worship in song, in the study of God’s Word, and in the observance of the Lord’s Supper.

The search for the secrets to life, success, and fulfillment goes back to creation. If people only knew they could find true fulfillment by simply opening their Bibles, devoting their lives to Jesus, and faithfully meditating in God’s Word, everything would change. As we begin our study into the Psalms, God reveals in this first chapter how to attain a life filled with God’s promises, protection, and blessing. It all begins by committing our lives to studying the truth and depth of His Holy Word, the Bible. I look forward to having you worship with us this weekend in person or online. It’s going to be a sweet time in the study of God’s Word together.

It is the transformation of our lives into the image of Christ and then transferring what we have come to know and experience to others. It is the passion of Christ because it is the passion of the Father. It should be our passion. It is our mission. The work of Christ and the gospel is not left to the trained professionals. It is something that God has called us to do. It is helping men and women realize both their full potential and great joy in serving the Lord. It is not sitting in the stands. It is getting into the game. At the beginning of each year we take time to remember and refocus ourselves on the mission given to us by Christ. Just like any organization, the church is prone to mission drift. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we refocus and recalibrate our lives upon the Great Commission.

What is seldom discussed, however, is the blessing that is promised to those who have a gospel view of the use of their money. On that subject, there is normally silence. They say that it is the sign that a person has truly been converted when they begin to give away their money. It was certainly the sign that Christ gave for the changed heart of Zacchaeus. I believe it is no less true today. What lies behind such a change in our heart? What is it about the gospel that releases us from a bondage to money and to find contentment in Him? And more than this, what are the principles for viewing our money in a gospel way? Are there any laws or specific commands? We will dive into this incredibly significant area of life this weekend in our worship services. I pray you will make plans to join us. I promise that there will be no high-pressure tactics or manipulative efforts to coerce you into giving. My prayer is simply that God would work in all our hearts as we seek to view the resources that God has given us through the lens of His truth and the gospel. Let’s start the year off with a fresh commitment to attending church. As a fellow pastor, Dean Inserra, is well-known for saying, “The local church is the best thing going today!” I’ll see you this weekend.

Our world is filled with hopelessness. It burdens my heart to think about how many people walk through the doors of LBC each week in a state of hopelessness. A business executive who has let the pursuit of worldly success ruin her life and lead her down a path of destruction. A father who has lost his job and feels embarrassed and humiliated. A man or woman who has received a devastating health diagnosis. My prayer is that as they arrive here at LBC, they would begin to find hope. Not a hope that is found in a program or even a payment but a hope that is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Biblical hope comes from a divine intervention. God Himself entering into time and space and history to save us from our dark and sinful condition. Isaiah 9 reminds us of that hope. Isaiah 9 is Isaiah’s way of saying, “Keep your fork!” The story isn’t over. The best is yet to come. Hope is on the way! I pray you will make plans today to join us for worship this weekend as we examine the hope of Christmas in a prophecy made 700 years in advance of Christ’s birth. “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6 In Christ, Pastor Chad Man can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, and about eight minutes without air, but man cannot live a second without hope.

We have seen the promise made to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Judah, and David. This week we look at Psalm 2. Psalm 2 is a coronation psalm. It speaks of the coronation of a King, a descendant of David who rules from Jerusalem. It is apparent however, that no earthly king can fulfill the words of this Psalm. Whoever this King is, He is greater than David and Solomon. The words of this psalm are incredibly practical and relevant for our day. They describe our world and remind us of the security that we find in God’s Messiah. I pray that you will join us. It is going to be a very special weekend. Saturday we have performances of Kansas City Christmas at 1 and 5 pm. The 5 pm service will replace our normal Saturday night service. We will have another performance Sunday night at 5 pm. I pray that you will join us for worship as we look to the King of kings and Lord of all lords and invite men and women to know the peace, joy, and forgiveness that only He can bring.

Those words are easy to say when the skies are blue, and things are going our way. But what happens when the skies are dark and the circumstances are less than ideal? It is easy to find ourselves in situations that can cause us to question the goodness and greatness of God. In 1 Peter 1, Peter is writing to a group of people who were experiencing extreme trials. They had trusted in Christ, and life got worse. They were facing immense persecution. Yet, as Peter begins his letter, he states, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!” In other words, God is great! That’s a bold statement considering the circumstances they were facing. In fact, you can imagine how those words might have fallen on deaf ears. What Paul puts forward, however, is what undergirds our ability to say, “God is great,” no matter the circumstances. On this Thanksgiving weekend, I pray that you will join us as we praise and celebrate the greatness of our God. He is the God who has accomplished salvation for us and fills us with a heart of gratitude in Christ that overwhelms even the darkest circumstances of life.

Surely some would include Genesis 3, Isaiah 53, John 1, John 3, Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 15, or Revelation 21. But how many of you would include 2 Samuel 7? Back when I was researching this passage for our study in Samuel, it became clear that most commentators agree that 2 Samuel 7 is one of the most vitally important chapters in all of God’s Word. This chapter is not just important for your understanding of 1 and 2 Samuel, your understanding of David’s life, or even of the Old Testament. This chapter is vitally important to the story of God in salvation history. For this reason, we better understand it. We better know it. I hope and pray you will make plans to join us this weekend as we continue to trace the thread of God’s redemptive purposes and promises in the Old Testament. We will take a deeper look at 2 Samuel 7 and the Covenant that God made with David. What God promised to David is relevant for our lives today. Remember, weekend worship is a Friday decision.

He offers to each son not only his dying words, but also divine words. The words that he pronounces to each son are prophecy concerning that son and his family. They each receive a blessing because they are all part of the nation that God is producing through them. At the same time, there had to be a question at the back of their minds. Which son will be the son of preeminence? Which of these sons will receive the Messianic blessing? God’s sovereign choice will continue to narrow the focus and teach us more about the character of God and the nature of the salvation that He has provided. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we continue to trace the thread of God’s salvation promises and purposes in the Old Testament. We worship every Saturday night at 5 pm and Sunday morning at both 9:30 and 11:00 am. I encourage you to invite a friend, a neighbor or a co-worker. Experience and statistics tell us that most people would attend church if they were invited. Be a bringer! Come to church and bring someone with you as we worship our Savior through song and the study of His Word.

Genesis 22 isn’t just a story about Abraham’s faith being tested. It’s a moment where God’s heart is revealed. It was on that mountain that God painted a picture of what’s to come, showing us that He Himself would one day provide the ultimate sacrifice. What Abraham experienced in shadow, we now see in full light through Jesus. He is the Lamb who was given so we could live.

It has taken us 50 sermons to work our way through Paul’s letter to the Romans. I pray that you will give a little grace this weekend if I appear a little sad or even little emotional. This study has shaped my heart and impacted my life in profound ways. I will never be the same. Thank you for being such a wonderfully patient and encouraging fellowship of believers as God continues to work on me to round off the rough edges and conform me to the image of Christ. I often hear from many of you in response to a sermon, “Pastor, that message stepped on my toes.” Just remember that before it ran over your toes, it more than likely took a hammer to my heart. God is so good and gracious. Paul concludes Romans with a complex doxology. It is the longest of all the New Testament doxologies. And yet while it is lengthy and complex, it is profoundly simple. “Now to Him….to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever.” We end where we started: with the glory of God. These verses are a marvelous summary of Paul’s purpose in this letter. His focus and purpose have been to destroy all self-sufficiency and to fix our eyes on the sufficiency, glory, majesty, and wisdom of the great God who in Christ Jesus has brought about such a great and glorious salvation. Please make plans to join us for this conclusion in Romans. I pray that the gospel would go forth in simplicity and power. This would be a great weekend to invite a friend, neighbor, or co-worker. Be a bringer! Bring someone with you as we worship together. Prayerfully, whomever you bring will catch a glimpse of the glory of God and be drawn to Christ. See you this weekend!

He clearly knows that he is at the end of the letter. But then, out of left field, he gives a stern warning. At first glance, it appears to be out of place and a very puzzling way to conclude the letter. Yet for Paul, it appears there has been a concern for the Roman believers that has been lingering underneath the surface and explodes here at the end. Paul has a deep pastoral concern that false teachers might defraud them spiritually. The specific nature and teaching of these false teachers is not clear. Paul, however, does set forth some clear principles that are incredibly important for us as we seek to protect ourselves from the dangers of false teachers who might seek to defraud us of our spiritual birthright. These are incredibly practical verses for our lives and for our church. We only have two more weeks in Romans. I pray you will make every effort as we run to the finish in the study of this Romans.

In a section on the priesthood of the believer and worldwide missions, it would only make sense for Paul to conclude on prayer. Prayer is how the work of God is done. Just because God tells us to do something does not mean that we can accomplish it on our own. The command and call of God drive us to our knees where God supernaturally provides us with the strength and resources to do what we cannot do on our own. Christianity is going into a world system that is dominated by the prince of the power of the air. Christianity calls us to a people who are spoken of as deaf and dead and enemies of Christ. Do we really think that we are going to cognitively talk them out of their lostness and into the Lordship of Christ? Unless we have a means of calling on the sovereign God of all the universe, we will not accomplish anything. I pray you will join us this weekend as we inch closer to the end of Romans and discover the ability to tap into the power of God through prayer. We will also have the opportunity to participate in the ordinance of communion. I pray that you will make plans today to join us.

Paul has absolute clarity and vision when it comes to his purpose and mission. When you know your purpose and mission, it clarifies almost everything else in your life. Paul knew the specific work God had set before him in Christ Jesus. Do you know what your mission is in Christ? Do you have a burden for missions and evangelism? Have you ever prayed, “Lord, where do I take the gospel next?” We have spent a lot of time in Romans over this past year looking into the greatness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But let us not forget Paul’s purpose in expounding this gospel. His purpose was not so that we would simply sit back and soak in the glorious gospel of Christ, but so that we embrace the gospel mission and get caught up in the same missionary zeal that we would find demonstrated in the heart of Paul. Many have asked me recently, “What are we going to do when we finish Romans?” The most immediate response should be “missions and evangelism.” If the answer is not missions and evangelism, we have missed the reason Paul wrote Romans. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we continue this study in Romans. It is going to be a special weekend as we also announce a new mission partnership and work right here in our local community. You won’t want to miss this weekend!

This pastor began to meet with me and several of my buddies. He would gather us occasionally at Pizza Hut or Mazzio’s. He bought us pizza and poured into us, and then he challenged us to invite some of our friends who didn’t know Christ. He would share the gospel and then he would have us share the gospel. It was discipleship. I didn’t know what discipleship was, but that is what we were doing. In those meetings and in sharing the gospel and pouring into friends, I discovered an incredible joy. I knew the joy of knowing Christ personally, but I did not know that I got to participate in sharing Christ with others. Sure, I had heard sermons about evangelism, but I had never experienced it for myself. The great joy of being a Christian is not only in receiving Christ but also in helping others come to know Him. It is what we call the priesthood of the believer, and Paul talks about this in the latter portion of Romans 15. Paul’s master passion was not just found in knowing Christ but in sharing Christ. Paul never got over this. He never lost a sense of awe and wonder at the grace of God that saved him and invited him into a mission and a purpose that was bigger than he was. I pray that you will join us as we gather to worship this weekend. I pray that you would come with an open heart to receive from Christ’s Word and a heart to give and serve others. We all need Christ, and we all need each other. I hope to see you this weekend.

Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up and down steps. Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs. One day, Father Flanagan asked Rueben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard. Rueben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father…he’s my brother.” In Romans 15, Paul continues to encourage the Roman church to “bear the weakness of those without strength.” He puts the burden on the strong to welcome, show grace and even carry their brothers and sisters in Christ who are continuing to grow in their faith. That’s not the world’s way. In the world might makes right. The mighty and strong bully people into their position. But not in the church. We bear one another’s burdens. We don’t just put up with our brother; if needed we carry him. We willingly lay down our rights and responsibilities to serve the body. And the burdens we carry and the sacrifices we make are always light as we remember, “He’s not heavy, he is my brother.” I look forward to seeing you this weekend as we continue and near the end of our study in Romans. This weekend we will also participate in the ordinance of communion and remember the sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray you will make the decision today to join us for one of our many weekend worship opportunities.

One of them might indicate that they knew almost immediately that they would get married. The other might indicate that it took a lot more time and convincing. The Christian life can be similar. We don’t all grasp the whole gospel instantaneously. For one person, it might take them years into their walk with Christ to become fully convinced of and believe in a particular area of doctrine or practice. But then having grasped the Bible’s teaching in this area, they will often turn around and expect another brother or sister in Christ to grasp it almost immediately. As we each grow and mature in our walk, and the gospel practically works it’s way into our lives, we must be willing to lay down our rights and privileges for the good of those who are continuing to grow. We are free in Christ. We have many rights in Christ. However, our personal rights and freedoms don’t govern our lives. Our love for God and our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ governs our lives. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we walk through Romans 14.13-23.

As we each grow and mature in our walk, and the gospel practically works it’s way into our lives, we must be willing to lay down our rights and privileges for the good of those who are continuing to grow. We are free in Christ. We have many rights in Christ. However, our personal rights and freedoms don’t govern our lives. Our love for God and our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ governs our lives. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we walk through Romans 14.13-23. These are very practical verses that are critical to our unity in the body and our witness to the world. I hope to see you at one of our many worship opportunities.

Paul has been addressing how the fountain of the gospel flows outwardly into all the areas of our lives. At the end of chapter 13, he addresses how the gospel impacts our relationship to our neighbors. In chapter 15, Paul will talk about taking the gospel to Spain. He addresses local missions and then international missions. In between local missions and international missions, Paul confronts an apparent conflict related to eating certain foods and observing certain days. What does this issue have to do with missions? Paul knows that a church in conflict loses credibility in sharing a message of reconciliation with the world. We cannot peddle unapplied truth. If we are going to preach reconciliation to the world, we need to demonstrate it in the church. And while we may not have disagreements over certain foods and observing certain days, the church today has its own issues that can quickly create conflict and nullify our witness. How should we deal with these issues? Not issues of doctrine or morality but areas of personal conviction that are not clearly revealed in Scripture. This is a critical, relevant and practical text. I pray that you will make plans to join us as we gather around the Word of God and adjust our lives to His truth that we might glorify Him and love our neighbor.

People you bump into at work, at Walmart, at school, in your neighborhood or at the coffee shop? If we could each name five people, then our church touches over 15,000 people every week. That is a huge opportunity to make an impact for Christ. But how do we relate to them? How do we engage the lost world around us? Church history has been filled with tension over this very issue. Some would argue that we should separate from the world and hole up in caves. Others would have us capitulate to the moral issues of our day to fit in and get along with the world around us. Some might want us to go back to Old Testament law and live completely by rules so that we would become irrelevant to culture. How should we relate to the non-believing world around us? As Paul has discussed how our relationship with Christ flows outward into our relationship with God, fellow members of the body of Christ and our enemies, he now gives us practical direction on how we relate to our neighbor.

The gospel changes us. It renews our minds and changes our thinking. It changes how we think about God, ourselves and our brothers and sisters in Christ. The gospel teaches us that no one and no thing in the fellowship of the body is beneath us. Christ left the glory of heaven to die for me. He did not consider me beneath Him. When that truth impacts my mind, it ultimately changes my disposition towards others. The gospel creates a divinely beautiful fellowship in the church that cannot be duplicated in the world. But Paul doesn’t stop there. When this kind of transformation takes place in the church, it will eventually burst the doors of the church and get carried out into the world. Our attitude towards Christ and each other in the body sets the agenda for how we respond to evil and those who persecute us. The Christian brings blessing and harmony in the body but also overcomes evil in the world. These verses have never been more practical for the believer’s life. I pray that you will make plans to day to join us for worship this weekend. This is an exciting time to be a part of LBC. Get plugged in and find a place ot fellowship and service as we continue to bring the message of hope to the heartland. — Pastor Chad McDonald Beginning in Romans 12, Paul describes the fountain of blessing that flows from the life of a person who is in Christ.

He concludes his summary of the redemptive purposes of God among both Jews and Gentiles. Then, he worships. It is a picture of how deep God’s salvation had penetrated his soul. Prior to Christ, we picture Paul as a very constrained, narrow and unemotional man. Post-Christ, we find a man who has been stretched emotionally and breaks forth in joyful adoration and worship at the wonder and glory of God. This is the purpose of Bible study. The purpose of Bible study is not merely moral. The purpose of Bible study is not to simply to make you better. The purpose of Bible study is to bring you to a place of worship. You are meant to study and read so that you might truly know the God of all creation—the One who made you, who loves you, who saved you and who is coming again to reign. When you see Him as He is, your only response is to fall on your face in awe and cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty! Who is like the Lord our God?” True theology and Bible study should be followed by purity and morality but also by adoration and glory. As we have come to see in Romans again and again, the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. I pray you will join us this weekend as we study one of the most profound and wonderful passages in all of Romans. My prayer is that all of us, both believer and non-believer, would see and taste the glory of God and the joy and peace and grace that can only be found in Him.

The Bishop was asked, “Why would you send these young people to this place?” The response of the bishop was clear and simple. “Unless they go, the gospel will not go there. Unless the messengers are sent the gospel will not be heard and unless the gospel is heard they will not call upon the Lord to be saved.” This is the normal means by which the gospel comes to us. The Gospel is God’s. It comes from God. God sends His messengers to preach the gospel. People hear the gospel; they believe the gospel and call upon the Lord to be saved. This is how the gospel comes to us, and we have no reason to believe that God is going to do it some other way. This is the reason for Paul’s urgency in Romans. Paul is clear: those outside of Christ stand in the wrath of God under the judgment of God, and apart from the gospel we have no hope that they can ever be saved. That is why it is so urgent for us to take the gospel to our neighbors, our co-workers, the person we meet in line at the store, and even to the ends of the earth. We have no foundation to believe that they can be saved any other way. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we revisit Paul’s evangelistic zeal and passion to take the gospel to those who have not heard, for the glory of Christ. Come with prayerful and expectant hearts that the gospel will go forth even this weekend, and, having heard, someone would call upon Christ for salvation. — Pastor Chad McDonald A bishop who served at Princeton Seminary during the 19th century was preparing to send 500 missionaries into an African country where they would risk their lives for the cause of Christ.

That was Paul’s heart for the Jewish people. Paul knew the gospel. Paul knew the Old Testament, and he was absolutely heartbroken for His people to find the same freedom that he found in Christ. More than this, to find the same righteousness that he had found, not through the Law of Moses but through faith in Jesus. Paul would not give up. He continued to pray and share, hoping in the power of the Spirit and the Word of God to open blind eyes.

How could they miss the One to whom all these privileges pointed, Jesus Christ? This was not merely some theoretical or theological issue for Paul. It was real and personal. His heart was breaking and the main question that had to be answered was, “Has the Word of God failed?” God promised to save, and Israel, by and large was not being saved. More than this, while Israel was not being saved, Gentiles were trusting in Christ by the droves. What Paul so beautifully does in his response is hold together both the sovereignty of God in pursuing His saving purposes and the responsibility of man. Why is Israel not responding to the Gospel? Paul’s answer points both to God and to Israel. And the same is true in our lives. My prayer this week is that someone, through our study of Romans 9, would come to faith in Christ. That somehow by God’s great grace and mercy through our study of this passage that shows God to be so sovereign and man so small, someone might begin to sense God stirring in their heart. God would, even in this passage, birth within someone a desire to know Christ and His salvation by faith. I pray that you will join us this weekend, and I pray that you would join with me in asking God to move and save lost sinners through our worship of Him in song and in His Word.

The text itself is not that hard to understand but is often hard for us to accept. Many come to these chapters looking for clarity and answers to some of their deepest theological questions. Some of you will come over the next few weeks to find out where I land on some of these issues regarding Israel and the sovereignty of God. However, if we simply come to this text with a desire for greater clarity on the theoretical and theological questions of our mind, we will have missed the point. Having just finished a chapter on the greatness of the salvation, assurance and security that we have in Christ, Paul’s heart breaks for his lost kinsmen who do not have this same salvation. While Paul’s heart breaks for this loss, his heart is also filled with worship at the “riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” In other words, if our study in these chapters does not develop a greater desire to see the lost saved and a deeper sense of love and worship for the God we serve, then I will have failed us, and we will have certainly missed the point. I pray you will come prepared to worship this weekend. Make plans now. Begin to prepare your heart today. Read ahead. Study the text, prepare your heart and pray for the lost. As we gather for corporate worship, let’s expect God to move in response to the study of His Word and the worship of His people. — Pastor Chad McDonald This week, we come to one of the most difficult and challenging sections in all of God’s Word.

The chapter begins with “no condemnation.” There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. No condemnation now or any time in the future. God’s verdict of acquittal in justification is a verdict that is irreversible. Then, at the end of the chapter, we find that there is “no separation.” There is no separation from the persisting love of God which is in Christ — no condemnation and no separation from the love of Christ. Paul is clearly ministering to people who needed that kind of assurance. In light of the circumstances and situations of the Roman believers, there appears to have risen some questions about the sufficiency of God to handle such a threatening world. Paul responds with more than just general words of encouragement. He brings them to the height of Christian doctrine and truth in the love of God demonstrated in Christ. Some of you are facing circumstances and situations that are leading you to a similar place of insecurity and fear. Is God totally sufficient for my needs and situations? When no one else seems to understand, how can I be certain that God loves me and that I can trust Him? I pray that you will join us this weekend as Paul seeks to plumb the depths of God’s love demonstrated towards us in Christ. — Pastor Chad McDonald Romans 8 is the chapter of Christian assurance.

I saw the movie once. I have never seen it again. It is one thing to imagine the death of Christ; it is altogether different to see it portrayed in such a realistic way. In our Good Friday services, we will look at another portrayal of Christ’s suffering in Isaiah 53. Isaiah describes the suffering of Christ with detail and perfection, but unlike Mel Gibson, he pens his description over 700 years in advance of it actually happening. Only God can talk about future events as if they were yesterday’s news. Then in our Easter Celebration services, we will turn our attention to another resurrection in Scripture. A resurrection that anticipates the resurrection of Christ and our own resurrection. A resurrection in which Christ’s claim is tested and gives us proof-positive that He is the resurrection and the life! Only in Christ can we find hope for the future and life for today. I pray that you will join us for all our Easter weekend activities. Make the decision now to attend and invite a friend.

Why did Christ come to earth? Why did Christ die on the cross for our sins? These are primary questions that we must understand. If we get the answers to these questions wrong, we will end up rejecting Christ just like many in the crowd on that first Palm Sunday. When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on that Palm Sunday, the majority of the crowd was overwhelmed with excitement. Christ their King was entering Jerusalem to take His rightful place. Before the week is over, however, they will reject Him and put Him on a cross shouting, “Crucify Him!” Why? Because they didn’t understand who Christ was. They did not understand who they were, and they did not know why He came. For that reason, they rejected Him. Sadly, many are making the same mistake today. This weekend as we look at Christ’s triumphal entry marking the beginning of the Passion Week of Christ, I pray that God will make clear to us through His Word and Spirit who we are, who Christ is, and why He came. And I pray that many will come to trust in Him as Savior and submit to Him as Lord. I pray you will join us! Why did Christ leave the glory of heaven? Why did Christ come to earth?

As pastors, we seek to pray over all these prayer concerns. When you combine the full prayer list with our cares and hospitalization list, it can be overwhelming. Just this week, some of our fellow church members received discouraging cancer news. We also held funerals for two beloved church members. Earlier in the week, Pastor Kelly conferred with one of our missionaries in Thailand whose community and country have been affected by a horrible earthquake. Thousands have died, and the number continues to grow. The combination of all these situations is overwhelming. Then we come to our text in Romans 8:28. “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” When times are good, when we have steady jobs, when our families are doing well, when no one is sick, and there have been no recent deaths, it is easy to say that we know God will work all things together for good of those who love Him. But what about the other times? What about those listed above? In those times, we need to be sure that we know what we are professing when we quote Romans 8:28. — Pastor Chad McDonald Every week, we receive numerous prayer concerns.

No power. We don’t know what to do.” Most of the time we are looking for people who will say, “I am very powerful and I know exactly what to do.” That is what our culture most often identifies as true leadership. The Scripture, however, speaks something very different into our lives. We are frail. We are not that smart, and when we come to the understanding of our weakness and frailty, then we are comforted with the knowledge that the Spirit of God helps us in our weakness. As Paul would say in 2 Corinthians 12, “His power is perfected in our weakness.” If you have it all figured out, you know everything, and you have all the strength you need to meet the circumstances of your life, you can probably skip this weekend’s message. But if, by chance, you are at a place where you don’t really know what to do, or if you have come to a place where the circumstances seem overwhelming and you feel powerless, I pray you will join us the weekend.

But then imagine waking up one morning to discover that you are an heir to one of the wealthiest individuals in the world—someone who is infinitely and fabulously wealthy. One day you will enter into all the riches and immeasurable wealth of that person. If you multiply that truth by infinity, you will not even be at the edges of understanding what it means to be an heir of God and a co-heir with Christ. What a glorious truth!

We have been freed from the penalty and power of sin. But while sin no longer reigns, it does still remain. In our text this week, Paul expounds on the truth that not only are we not under condemnation, but we are also not under sin’s obligation. We can say no to our flesh every day. How? Through the pattern of saying yes to the Spirit, through the power supplied by the Spirit, and through the promise of an eternal inheritance reserved in heaven for us.

It’s salvific and theological significance cannot be overstated. Few chapters in the Word rival Romans 8 in setting forth the Gospel and the plan of salvation. An old German commentator named Spener said that if the Bible was a ring and the book of Romans, a precious stone, chapter 8 would be “the sparkling point of the jewel.” Beyond this, few chapters of God’s Word rival its practical significance in the life of the believer. Many turn to Romans 8 when they are in sorrow to be encouraged that nothing can separate them from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. It is the chapter that many turn to when they don’t know how to pray so that they might be encouraged by the Spirit’s intercession for them. Still others turn to this chapter when they are overwhelmed by the burden and guilt of sin to be reminded that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For these reasons and so many others, I pray that you will join us this weekend as we dive into the first few verses of Romans 8. Make the decision today to join us for worship this weekend. God has not just saved us from hell; He has saved us into a family, the Church. I pray that gathering with the body of Christ would be the highlight of your week as we enjoy the togetherness of the Gospel. We stand on God’s Word together. We pray together. We sing together.

Few chapters in the Word rival Romans 8 in setting forth the Gospel and t… Pastor Chad McDonald 2501 https://lbc.sermon.net/22376655/controller/link/action/podcast/type/video_setfreeinchrist/id/1438649.mp4 https://lbc.sermon.net/22376655 Scripture: Romans 8:1-8:4, Series: Romans Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:28:00 +0000 Pastor Chad McDonald Romans 7:13-25 has been described as one of the most difficult passages in Romans to interpret. The primary question that dominates most of the discussion is, “Who is this man who is speaking here?” Is this Paul as a believer or an unbeliever? Is this Paul as a mature believer, or Paul reflecting on his past before fully grasping God’s revelation in Christ? Certainly, there are aspects of what Paul says that would seem to be impossible statements for the believer and even contradictory to what Paul has previously said in Romans. How can I be freed from the dominion of sin in Christ while at the same time in bondage to sin in my flesh? What is the nature of the true Christian life? Is it possible to have a Christian life where there is no consciousness of your own deep sinfulness? I pray that you will join us this weekend as we look into God’s Word for answers to these questions. Answers that are critical to the successful Christian life.

If we are under the bondage of the law, we are not free from the dominion of sin to live and serve the Lord with joy. These are shocking statements. They are the essence of what Paul says in Romans 6-7, and they were the foundation of the accusations that haunted Paul in writing his letter to the Romans. Paul’s opponents were fearful that his teaching concerning the Gospel and dying to the law would lead to lawlessness. You can almost hear them saying, “Paul, we don’t need less law. We need more law.” If you read Paul carefully in these verses, you can hear his response. The real issue is not less or more law, the real issue is that we need more Jesus. We need more of the Gospel. When you only have the law, you will only have an increase of sin and trespass. The law alone cannot change a heart. Only the gospel can change the human heart. But when the gospel changes the hearts of people, they will obey His commands from a joyful heart. What a glorious paradox. In order to truly live, we must die. To keep the law, we must die to the law. I pray that you will join us this weekend for one of our many worship services. Weekend worship is a Friday decision.

He has already helped to define sanctification as being “in Christ,” and last week he helped to define sanctification through the lens of the slave and master relationship. This week, as we turn our attention to Romans 7, Paul uses marriage to help define the believer’s relationship with the law. Far too many believers are attempting to go back and live under the law. You can often recognize them by their frustration and critique of those who don’t live up to their own set of convictions. Others use their freedom from the law as an excuse to ignore the law or even to break the law. Both of these reactions to the law are a gross misinterpretation of the gospel. The law of God is divinely inspired and relevant for our lives, but it was never intended to save us. We will spend the next few weeks walking through Romans as Paul masterfully paints a picture of our freedom in Christ and how uniting with Christ free’s us up to live in the beauty of God’s law.

It speaks of believers as chosen, washed, justified and sanctified. At the moment of salvation, you were given to the Lordship of Christ. Yes, there is a process of growth, and you will continue to move forward and advance. Jim Elliot once said, “It takes the whole of your life to give the whole of your life to Christ.” I love that quote, and it is true. But at the same time, it is inconceivable to Paul and the New Testament writers that a person could come to faith in Christ as Savior without Christ also becoming Lord at that very same moment. You can never be a justified believer without also being a sanctified believer. This is what Paul has been rejoicing in through Romans 6. Now, as we begin to walk through the latter verses of the chapter, Paul digs even deeper into the means and motivation of the sanctifying work of Christ in our hearts. These are passages that we must know and understand. I pray that you will join us this weekend for worship. We will celebrate and rejoice with believers as they publicly confess Christ in baptism. We will pray for one another and fellowship. Most importantly, we will gather round the Word of God and sing praises to God that we might be changed more and more into the likeness of His glory. — Pastor Chad McDonald When the New Testament speaks of our salvation, it does so in the past tense.

He has not given us something to do. He has told us what Christ has done and who we are in Him. This is the pattern of Paul. He starts with doctrine and then moves to daily living, because Paul knows that behavior always follows our beliefs. This week, we will be introduced to our first real commands from Paul as we move from justification to sanctification. We began this work last week. It is not easy to understand, but it is critical to a victorious walk with Christ. It is worthy of our work and effort to know this chapter and to study it deeply. I pray that you read ahead. Prepare your heart now for worship this weekend.

This is a glorious statement and a wonderful reality of the gospel. For many living in Paul’s day, however, it was an incredibly dangerous statement. For them, it was a license to sin. If grace abounds more when I sin more, why not keep on sinning? To answer this question, Paul reminds us of what has really occurred in our hearts when we placed our faith in Christ. In fact, he responds by asking the question, “Do you not know what occurred to you when you trusted Christ?” The answer to this question is foundational to the Christian life. What occurs when we trust in Christ, and what difference does it make in our lives?

A few years back, the deacon body set out to memorize Romans 5. The first eleven verses were no problem. The last nine were incredibly difficult, not just to memorize, but also to understand. I even had the thought this week that I should have assigned these verses to Pastor Ryan, and then we could have just marched into Romans 6 this weekend. But, while these verses may be difficult to understand, their value cannot be understated. These verses are foundational to Christian thinking and Christian living. They help us to understand how God saves sinners and how what one man did on a cross has brought justification, life and salvation to a multitude of people. Understanding these verses will bring you into a greater appreciation of the magnitude of the salvation that is ours through faith in Christ.

We plan for it, prepare for it and celebrate it for over a month, and it doesn’t even matter if we are believers or not. When it comes to Christmas, we all want the same thing. We want Christmas to be perfect. We have this hope that everyone will get along. We want perfect decorations, we want to give (and get) the perfect gifts, and we even want perfect desserts. After all, it’s Christmas, and isn’t Christmas supposed to be perfect? The reality is, in this imperfect world, Christmas will never be, and has never been, perfect. This week, we will take a look back at that first Christmas which was anything but perfect for Mary and for Joseph. You see, the only thing perfect about Christmas then, and Christmas now, is that perfect baby who was in the manger. God gave the world the perfect gift for an absolutely imperfect world.

The innkeeper missed it. The incarnation and birth of the Son of God, one of the most significant events in salvation history, occurred near or even on his own property, and yet he missed it. Maybe he was too busy with travelers or too concerned with the stuff of earth, and he missed the birth of the eternal king. The religious leaders knew all the prophecies concerning Christ, and yet when he came, they missed it. They weren’t looking for a Savior because they didn’t think they needed a Savior. In the coming days, we will celebrate the coming of Christ who died for our sins and provided salvation, and yet so many people will miss it. Maybe like the innkeeper, they are too caught up in the earthly business of life. Maybe like the religious leaders, they miss the celebration of the Savior’s birth, because they don’t think they need a Savior. What about you? We are in a similar position today when it comes to waiting for Christ. Will we be like Simeon and Anna in Luke 2:21-38? Waiting in faith for the promises of God to be fulfilled? Do we even know what the promises are? Are we walking in the Spirit and clinging to Scripture? I pray you will join us this weekend for worship and next week for one of our Christmas Eve services. Corporately and prayerfully, we will turn our attention to God’s Word. We will ask the Spirit of God to open our eyes, hearts and ears to His truth that we might grow in our anticipation for Christ. That, like Simeon and Anna, we would wait upon the Lord, watch for the Lord, and walk in the Spirit as we anticipate the blessed appearing of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The shaft was eight inches in diameter and twenty two feet deep. She was lost to her parents with no way to get her out. Her rescue became the focus of the little town of Midland, TX. For 15 hours, men dug and drilled. The limestone around the shaft made her rescue incredibly difficult and almost impossible. At the end of that fifteen hours, however, the world watched as a man who was able to get down into that shaft brought her to the top. The site was filled with folks who had been hoping and praying. The parents were crying, the rescuers were crying, and the newscasters were crying because this little girl, whom everyone thought was dead, was now alive. But in order to live, someone else had to save her. Little Jessica’s condition is very similar to our spiritual condition prior to Christ. In our sin, we had fallen into an abyss of death from which we could not escape. We were hopeless and helpless. If we had any hope of escape and life, someone from above had to come down to us. That is exactly what Jesus did. He saw you and me in the hole of sin and death. He saw our efforts to free ourselves and the futility of our attempts. He entered that hole of sin and death and offered salvation from above. He not only offered salvation but assurance. The Jesus who came to save also assures us of our salvation. Few texts of God’s Word describe this salvation more clearly than Romans 5:6-11. I pray that you will plan to join us this weekend as we worship the One who came and rescued us from our hopeless and helpless situation of sin and death.

One such campaign was run by the credit card company, American Express, from 1987-1996. Their slogan was “membership has its privileges.” It was widely recognized by people as a way to live an elite lifestyle, and it was very effective in helping to contribute to the debt of those who enjoyed living above their means. This weekend, we will discover that there is a membership available to us in Christ that has amazing privileges when it comes to being justified by faith. It is a membership that cannot be purchased with money. Your net worth has no effect on your acceptance. In fact, bankruptcy is a primary requirement. This membership is granted freely as a gift to those who place all their faith in Christ for salvation. Christ adds us to the family of faith, and our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. But what about the privileges? Those who are members of God’s family by faith are guaranteed peace, joy, grace and hope. I pray you will join us this weekend as we discover the amazing privileges that are granted to those who are justified by faith in Christ. Don’t forget Kansas City Christmas this weekend. One of the KC Christmas services will take the place of our Saturday evening service. Please visit our website (or scroll below) to see the details for this incredible time of worship and celebration of the coming of Christ. The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men! It is going to be a great weekend of worship. I look forward to seeing you! — Pastor Chad Over the years, there have been some incredibly effective ad campaigns used to market products. One such campaign was run by the credit card company, American Express, from 1987-1996. Their slogan was “membership has its privileges.” It was widely recognized by people as a way to live an elite lifestyle, and it was very effective in helping to contribute to the debt of those who enjoyed living above their means. This weekend, we will discover that there is a membership available to us in Christ that has amazing privileges when it comes to being justified by faith. It is a membership that cannot be purchased with money. Your net worth has no effect on your acceptance. In fact, bankruptcy is a primary requirement. This membership is granted freely as a gift to those who place all their faith in Christ for salvation. Christ adds us to the family of faith, and our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. But what about the privileges? Those who are members of God’s family by faith are guaranteed peace, joy, grace and hope. I pray you will join us this weekend as we discover the amazing privileges that are granted to those who are justified by faith in Christ. Don’t forget Kansas City Christmas this weekend. One of the KC Christmas services will take the place of our Saturday evening service. Please visit our website (or scroll below) to see the details for this incredible time of worship and celebration of the coming of Christ.

The small apartment was affordable, and Faith did a great job of making it home. The apartment had one downside. Just outside our apartment on the other side of a small fence was a set of train tracks with a crossing about a hundred yards away. Do you know how many times a train blows the horn? A lot! I hated that horn. It never failed to blow just as I was getting in my truck early in the morning. But that horn serves an important role. It is a warning to unaware drivers who are going about their everyday lives that death is coming down the tracks. If that train suddenly hits your vehicle, you will be dead before you know it. The word of God, in many ways, serves a similar role. It reminds us that death is coming down the tracks of life, and at any moment, you could be called to stand before God. When that day comes, what will your argument be? In Romans 4, Paul gives us the only answer that will stand before a holy God. I pray you will make plans to join us for worship this weekend as we look to the King of kings and the Lord of lords: our only hope and Savior, Jesus Christ. — Pastor Chad After Faith and I got married, we lived in student housing on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

The Titanic was an amazing marvel of human ingenuity and achievement created to make transatlantic ocean crossings between Southampton, England and New York City. But it had a major flaw. The quality of the steel and rivets was too weak and brittle to withstand contact with any of the icebergs floating in the Atlantic Ocean. A lot of people put their faith in what they thought was able to carry them safely to the other shore. What they thought was substantial was actually paper thin and couldn’t hold up against an Atlantic iceberg. When it comes to salvation, people place their faith in a lot of things. Some place their trust in their own morality, their own good works. Others place their faith in physical acts of religion. They believe their church attendance, membership, baptism or communion will carry them safely to the other shore. Biblically speaking, however, none of those will stand up against the iceberg of God. We will all meet God, and when we stand before Him, all our arguments of works and religion will be revealed as paper thin. They won’t hold up. Our only hope is faith in Jesus. Paul reminds of us this truth as we study Romans this weekend. I pray you’ll make plans to join us. You can’t love Christ and not love His body, the Church. Gather with us as we worship the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God to whom belongs the glory forever and ever.

Once a month, my dad would give me $6 for my haircut. In the barber shop was a sign that read, “In God we trust, all others pay cash.” You couldn’t pay with a check. You couldn’t pay with a credit card. Cash was the only acceptable payment that the barber would accept. As we continue the study of Romans this week and look in depth at what has often been described as the greatest paragraph in our Bible, we are reminded again that Jesus Christ is the only payment God will accept. There is only one way to satisfy the wrath of God. There is only one way to pay for your sins. There is only one entrance to heaven and His name is Jesus.

They are theological terms that take us into three different realms of understanding and illustrate all that Christ accomplished for us in His life, death and resurrection, and they must be considered simultaneously. All three united together demonstrate, as we see in v.26, how God can be “just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” God has looked upon us in our great need and hopelessness, in all the dimensions of our sin, and provided, in Christ, a Savior who is all-sufficient for our need. I pray you will join us this weekend as we focus on our great Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now more than ever we need corporate worship. We need a place to gather with God’s people around the truth of His Holy Word and sing, pray and worship.

It has been said that this paragraph in Romans 3:21-24 is the most significant paragraph in all of God’s Word.

God birthed the nation. They were brought forth by God from the barren wombs of Sarah and Rebekah. They were led by God out of Egypt. They had seen His power and might and grace. Even more than this, they had been given His Word. God had spoken to the nation and given them His Word on tablets of stone. They received so many privileges and so many blessings. Instead of these great privileges leading them to the feet of Jesus, they became a basis of defense against their need of salvation. We are not immune from this same mentality. We, too, have been given privileges. Not in the same way as Israel, but privileges, nonetheless. All the privileges that God has given, without salvation through faith in Christ, will not save us, but ultimately rise up against us on the last day and pronounce us guilty. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we continue our study in Romans. This weekend we will also have the privilege of participating in communion. Weekend worship is a Friday decision.

It is the focus of our text this week and for the next several weeks. In my study, I have often thought to myself, why can’t we just get this in one verse? Why not just summarize it in a paragraph? Why three chapters drilling down on the sinfulness of man? Then the Spirit reminds me that until we have plummeted the depths of our sinfulness, we will not fully appreciate the depths of God’s mercy and grace. Until we are aware of our guilt, we may sing about amazing grace, but we will not feel that grace is amazing. In this text, Paul takes ALL of us to the depths. We are all brought to the point of crying out for mercy and then we find ourselves in a position to rejoice in the sheer blessedness and relief of the good news of Jesus Christ.

The moral decline of our nation is more rapid than ever. The sacred nature of marriage is collapsing. The dignity of man as made in the image of God is under attack. Life is no longer sacred. Truth has eroded into relativism. Our world is filled with self-indulgence and lies, and yet, God has seen fit in His sovereignty to give us the PRIVILEGE of serving Him at this time in this generation. What do Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego, Nehemiah, Esther, Zerubbabel, Mordecai, and Jeremiah all have in common? They were sacrificially loyal and faithful during a time of exile. They were faithful in the midst of a dark, evil and pagan day. Make no mistake, days such as ours are the days when heroes are born. We are the Lord’s sling and spear. No matter how tough the times may get, we will remain faithful holding out the Word of truth and the light of the gospel because we know that Jesus wins. Never underestimate the power of showing up. Each week, as we gather for worship, we make a bold statement to the world. As we clog up the streets, fill the parking lot, and run shuttles, we let our community know that there is still a group of people at the corner of 87th and Lackman who believes that God is good, heaven and hell are real, Jesus saves, and the Bible is true. Make plans to worship with us. This weekend is special. As part of our worship, on Sunday morning, we will ordain five men to the deacon ministry, and on Sunday night at 5 pm, we will ordain two men to pastoral ministry. These moments are mission critical, and I pray that you will join us. — Pastor Chad We live in a difficult day. The moral decline of our nation is more rapid than ever.

More than this, we find a statement of judgment from God that is unrivaled in its severity and finality as we find a biblical explanation for the confusion of our world today. When God is rejected and exchanged for lies and idols, everything tends towards moral and spiritual chaos. Is there hope? This is so important, because by the time we get to v.32, we are all nailed to the wall as guilty. Is there hope? Absolutely. The gospel always brings hope! We must never shy away from passages such as these. We are withdrawing from our responsibility if we fail to address these passages and relate it to our world. What a tragedy it would be if all we offered was condemnation without also bringing the gospel to those in need. For this reason, I pray that all our biblical preaching here at LBC would also be Christ-centered and gospel-centered preaching that men and women might find the saving power of Christ. Make a decision today to join us for worship. Don’t wait until the last minute. If you do, you might be persuaded by a drop of rain or a comfortable bed. We all need Christ, and we all need each other.

The world sins and goes on about their lives. The answer to this question is found in the first verse of our passage this week. Romans 1:18 says, “The wrath of God IS revealed from heaven….” This means, any culture that rejects the Word of God by which they must be saved will experience the wrath of God. God will give them over to their sinful desires. He will take away the restraints allowing them to indulge in all kinds of indecency, immorality and violence. That culture will become like the days of Noah. Where is the wrath of God on our culture? We are going through it right now. These next few weeks in Romans will not paint a pretty picture. That picture will look a lot like the days in which we live, and that is the wrath of God. Just as the righteousness of God is revealed from heaven, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, and man is without excuse. I pray you will join us this weekend as we continue in Romans.

We live in a culture and world that opposes the gospel message. In today’s culture, we often find ourselves in situations where the gospel is challenged, and we struggle to find our voice. The Roman culture was no different. The darkness has always hated the light. The gospel has always been challenged. Make no mistake. If you take a hard stand on the gospel and the exclusivity of Christ to save, you turn yourself broadside to the world, and you will take some hits. We must not be ashamed. That is the testimony of Paul, and it is his message to us. I pray you will join us this weekend as we continue our study in Romans. We worship every Saturday night at 5 pm, and we have a number of services at a variety of locations on Sunday morning. Let’s gather to worship this weekend and declare to our community – we are not ashamed! — Pastor Chad Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you were ashamed of the gospel?

It has been said that a faithful preacher will lead his congregation through Romans at least twice. As I begin my 21st year of preaching, I realized I had better get started on my first. Romans is critical to our faith. No other book of the Bible has had a greater effect on church history. Martin Luther’s study of Romans was the impetus for the Reformation. Romans is the essence of Christianity. Romans is an Old Testament commentary. Chapters 9-11 contain at least 40 Old Testament quotations. Paul wanted everyone to know that Christianity is not simply a split off of Judaism. Instead, Christianity is Judaism that has flourished to its fulfillment in Christ. No other book of the Bible more clearly explains the Gospel. It sits in the lead chair of all of Paul’s epistles. I have come to a firm conviction that if you only have one book of the Bible, you must have Romans. If you have never been led through a verse by verse study, I would encourage you to be faithful during this series. Certainly there are far more gifted and far more intelligent expositors who can lead you through Romans in the hundreds of series available online. However, there is something special about walking through this book in the unity and fellowship of a family of faith. Romans is not my favorite book of the Bible, but my preparation for this study has already begun to work in my heart in a way that no other study has. My joy in preaching is simply sharing with you not only what God has taught me, but how His Word is changing me and hopefully changing us. It’s going to be a great adventure. I pray you will be here this weekend as the journey begins. — Pastor Chad In my 20 years of ministry, I have never preached through Romans.

I love the way the book ends. The Bible is written in such a way that each author, inspired by God faithfully records His Word, then passes it on to the next, continuing the divine narrative across generations. Every book is pointing us to one person who will die in one place for the sins of man. There are some points that you can’t miss when you are studying and interpreting the Word of God. This is one of them. The means by which we approach God is by God’s provision of a sacrifice that will come from one nation, one tribe, one family, and by one man. He will be the Son of David, and he will die at one place, Calvary. Outside of Him, there is no way, there is no truth, and there is no life. What a way to end our study in this marvelous book.

The transcendence of God means that God is above, completely other than and independent from creation. God is infinite, sovereign and unchanging. God needs nothing, depends on nothing and owes nothing. He is “holy, holy, holy.” God is also immanent. The immanence of God means that God sustains, is involved with, and present within His creation. Sometimes these truths about God are pitted against each other. For some, they think God is sovereign over all but not loving. For others, God is loving, but He is not sovereign. The Bible teaches us that He is both. This is the wonder and the beauty of the God we serve. God dwells in eternity and yet feels at home among the lowly. God is seated on high but cares for us and knows us by name. This is the nature of David’s song in 2 Samuel 22. God is almighty. He is all-powerful. He cares about me, and as I seek Him, He can lift me up and use me in ways that I never thought possible. I pray this weekend you will join us for worship in one of our services at one of our locations. I know your heart will be encouraged in our worship and our study of His Word.

In so many ways, our testimony is more valuable than a thousand apologetic arguments. People can argue with facts and details, but they cannot argue with your personal experience. In our text this week, David gives us his personal testimony of faith. He shares with us in vivid detail and descriptive poetry who the Lord is to him. Having walked through the storms and trials of life, he pours out his heart in praise to God. He is not simply declaring doctrinal truths about God. He is testifying to the power of God as He has experienced in his life. I pray you will make plans to join us.

Pastor Steve served as senior pastor at LBC for 25 years before retiring, and he continues to preach and inspire many. Galatians Chapter 6 is an insightful passage that explores themes like supporting one another, restoring a wayward brother, and remaining faithful. Each day presents us with the opportunity to sow to the Spirit and be instruments for His glory. With His help and guidance, we can avoid sowing to our flesh and instead live in accordance with His will. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” — Galatians 6:7-10 This weekend, we are honored to welcome Pastor Steve Dighton as our guest speaker.

In fact, some might say it is gruesome. No matter how you describe the passage, the pictures presented in this passage confront us with some uncomfortable truths and some troubling questions. Yet we are encouraged by Paul’s words to Timothy as he challenged him to “…continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:14-15). For this reason there is no need to shy away from these verses in 2 Samuel 21. In fact, contained within these verses is a foundational truth and theme that we find running throughout both the Old and New Testaments — a truth that is essential to our faith and salvation.

That unity would not last long. Just like at the wedding party, jealousy, envy, pride and accusations will turn a joyful moment into a sour situation. David’s kingdom is incredibly fragile, and the hope for a united people of God quickly fades. This week we will discover some practical principles related to unity among the people of God.

There is nothing like it in all the world. Your child is brought into the world, and you love him. You would give your life for him. How many of you would be willing to give up your child for a good man? How many of you would give up your child for a sinner and an enemy? This is exactly what God did for us in the giving of His own Son to die for our salvation. God’s love is absolutely unique. In fact, Paul says that in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates HIS OWN love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” This week, as we continue our study in 2 Samuel, we will see that as great as David was, there is a glaring contrast between his love and the love that God has demonstrated in the giving of His Son for our salvation. David did not want to give up his Son, but God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

He and his wife were newly married but found themselves increasingly frustrated and disappointed with the course of their lives. In the midst of that time, Bill sensed God calling him to surrender his life totally and completely to Him. Bill and his wife obeyed. They made a list of all their dreams, plans and goals and signed them over to God. Apart from salvation, it was the greatest decision of their lives. It began what Bill would refer to as the “Great Adventure.” This adventure would come with a cost. Bill sold his company and left his courses at Fuller Seminary. There was great uncertainty, many risks and various trials, but God was always there to protect, provide and guide. As they laid down their dreams, they found that their dreams paled in comparison to God’s dreams. In our passage this weekend, we find David in the midst of his adventure of following God. His adventure, like the Brights, had many ups and downs, difficulties and dangers. However, God was always there bringing him into a brighter day in the fulfillment of a plan that was bigger than what he could ever have imagined. I pray you will join us for worship this weekend as we consider the grand adventure of following Christ! — Pastor Chad The story of Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, is a remarkable story.

The determination was that it is virtually impossible. In other words, there are a lot of scientific coincidences that are sustaining your life right now. If you believe that life is a product of time and chance, then you will likely be an evolutionist. If you believe, however, in a personal God who is sovereign over creation and orchestrates everything for His glory, then you will be a creationist, regardless of whether or not you physically see His hand. In our text this week, David will face all kinds of circumstances, both good and evil. While we don’t physically see the hand of God, and we may not even see His name, God is orchestrating it all. God is behind all of it, bringing it all together towards the completion of His perfect will. This is a critical lesson and principle for our lives. Like David, you will face all kinds of situations and circumstances, and you must decide before those things occur. Does life hinge upon a bunch of luck and coincidences? Or is there a personal, almighty, holy God who loves you and is sovereign over every aspect of your life, orchestrating every event according to His plan for His glory? When we come to a place of trusting in God and believing in His Son, Jesus, who died for our sins, we are then able to trust God’s heart even when we can’t see His hand. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we look to God and His Word and rest in His sovereign grace. — Pastor Chad Years ago, a mathematical formula was developed to determine the odds of all the appropriate factors necessary to create and sustain life.

In 2 Samuel 15, we find David at the lowest point in his reign. His family is a mess. His son has betrayed him and led a coup against him. His closest adviser has helped to engineer the rebellion. Everything that he loved and gave his life for was crumbling right in front of him, and what made it worse was the realization that he was responsible. Have you ever been to a place like this — a place of emotional pain and betrayal with a full awareness of your own sin? At some point, we will each find ourselves there. It is part of living as sinners in the midst of a fallen world. The valleys of life remind us that we are sojourners, and we have not yet arrived. We are saved, but that salvation is not fully realized. We have been redeemed from Egypt, but we are not yet in Canaan. David gives us hope, though. In fact, we get to read not only the details of David’s circumstances, but we have his prayer journal. Psalm 3 is the accompaniment to this point in David’s life. David encourages us that he made it through the valley, and so will we!

Certainly, this was the case between Absalom and David. Absalom murdered David’s eldest son, Amnon, to avenge his sister’s rape. Can you imagine the emotional pain that David must have felt? It is hard to imagine how anyone could care perfectly for their family in the midst of that kind of relational heartache. Despite all the pain, David brought Absalom home, established boundaries, and eventually welcomed Absalom with a kiss. How did Absalom respond to his father’s kindness and forgiveness? He conspired to overthrow his father’s kingdom. He slandered his dad and forced him out of the nation. It is the sad commentary on the sinfulness of man and the cost that is brought to bear in our lives when we don’t forgive and repent of our sins. There is much to learn in our scripture passage, and I pray that you will plan to join us this weekend as we worship the Lord in song and the study of His Word.

It was so good to meet and greet so many new faces in all our worship services. Thank you for inviting your friends and family members to worship with us. I pray that every guest was pointed to the wonder and glory of Christ who lived, died and rose for our redemption, salvation and reconciliation. This weekend, we will turn our attention back to 2 Samuel 14. Our passage is a difficult text and probably not one that you will find in the Little Golden Book of children’s stories. But make no mistake, this passage has real relevance for our lives. Both David and Absalom demonstrate the need for forgiveness and reconciliation and the danger when they are not achieved in a biblical way. If you have no conflict in your life and never sin against anyone, feel free to take the weekend off. For the rest of us, I look forward to seeing you this weekend as we seek to align our lives to the plumb line of God’s truth in His Word. — Pastor Chad What a great Easter weekend!

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 20:34:00 +0000 Pastor Chad McDonald On the very first palm Sunday, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem, there was a lot of excitement. People were waving palm branches. They were quoting scripture. There was so much nationalistic excitement. But I believe if you had asked someone on that day what was happening there, I think they would have said, “I’m not really sure.” I think they probably would have said, “I’m not really sure.” They were excited, and they could quote scripture, but they had a total misunderstanding of why Christ came. This week as we look at the triumphal entry in John 12:12-19, we will find that Jesus makes plain why He came. This is so important. All of our study of Scripture and Christ’s life is meaningless if we don’t understand the purpose for which He came.

God kept every promise to David, and the nation flourished. The nation was politically stable, unbelievably wealthy and militarily powerful, and at the peak of this unprecedented prosperity, David was on the precipice of spiritual disaster. How could this be? How could he have resisted so many temptations in dangerous, difficult days, and then yield at the height of success? The greatest enemy of our souls is the selfish pride at the core of our fallen natures. If we look deep enough, this is what we will find feeding the strong sinful cravings of our appetites, and this is why prosperity can be so spiritually dangerous. Adversity keeps us humbly desperate for God, but seasons of success can be our most perilous because we are so easily deceived into thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought to think.

Beyond this, Jesus, Himself, was baptized. At the birth of the Church in Acts, 3,000 people repented of their sins and were baptized. One cannot read the New Testament without being impressed by the significance of baptism to Christ and the Church. Even with such a high priority, however, there is often so much confusion regarding baptism. When should baptism occur? What does it mean? Who should be baptized? This weekend we will look together at God’s Word to see what He has to say about baptism, and, as always, we will evaluate our lives based on the plumb-line of His Word.

I pray that you will not miss this weekend. I am praying and trusting that we will see God move in a very powerful way. I encourage you to pray with me. We are trusting God for big things because we serve a big God! When Jesus gives us instructions regarding making disciples, he intentionally gives baptism a place of primary importance. Beyond this, Jesus, Himself, was baptized. At the birth of the Church in Acts, 3,000 people repented of their sins and were bapti… Pastor Chad McDonald 1921 https://lbc.sermon.net/22227138/controller/link/action/podcast/type/video_godswordbaptism/id/1344506.mp4 https://lbc.sermon.net/22227138 Scripture: Acts 2 Sun, 28 Jan 2024 16:22:00 +0000 Pastor Ryan McDaniel In 1982 God led Brother Andrew, the founder of an organization called “Open Doors,” to launch a seven-year campaign for the opening of the Communist Bloc. Seven years later in 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. A door was opened for religious liberty and the spread of the gospel into Eastern Europe and even the Soviet Union. In Revelation 3:7-8, Jesus says to the church at Philadelphia, “I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.” God is able to open doors that no one can shut and close doors that no one can open. What doors of ministry are you praying that the Lord would open for you? Please plan to join us this weekend as we study God’s Word, learn more about open doors for ministry, and seek to #liveoutward for the glory of Christ!

You can have a beautiful car with a perfect paint job, immaculate interior, and the best technology, but without a working engine, the car is useless. It is nothing more than a showpiece. When a church fails in the area of discipleship, we are nothing more than a showpiece. This is so critical to the success of our church and to our individual walk with Christ. I pray you will join us this weekend as we look at the essentials of discipleship. You will be encouraged and challenged. I also encourage you to invite someone to join you. We may focus on discipleship, but we can’t focus on discipleship without also focusing on the greatness of the gospel. Don’t forget we also have a Saturday night service at 5 pm in the main sanctuary.

Why didn’t He just take us home at the moment of salvation? Why not just hold a person under the water and send them to glory at the moment of baptism? The answer is simple. It is found throughout the pages of God’s Word. It is the conclusion to every gospel written, and for good measure, it was added at the front end of the book of Acts. We call it the Great Commission. This is the one area in which God has called us both individually and corporately to succeed. As C.S. Lewis once said, “If you are not involved in the Great Commission, then you and God are eternally out of step.” It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned saint, a new believer, or just an interested outsider, this weekend’s passage is for you.

The Old Testament law and prophets create a door frame through which only one man can enter. He is the anticipation of Adam and Eve after the fall. He is the hope of David. He is the focus of Isaiah. Then…He comes. In a world held in darkness and sin, the Savior arrives. The event is supernatural. He is virgin-born. The explanation is just as important. Why did God become a man? Why must Jesus be the virgin-born Son of God? This is the greatest question of Christianity. We can’t afford to miss in this area of life because the consequences are eternal. I hope and pray that each of you will join us for one of our Christmas Eve services this weekend. Remember, our schedule this year is a bit different from previous years. We will have two “Eve Eve” services on Saturday: 5 pm & 7 pm. Then on Sunday morning, Christmas Eve, we will have services in the K-Hall and the Worship Center at both 9:30 am and 11 am. All services will be candlelight and communion Christmas Eve services. Plan to worship with us. If you are not able to join us for one of these times, an edited version of the service will be available on all our platforms on Sunday afternoon.

Culturally, morally and politically we see an ever-encroaching darkness. The prophet Isaiah lived in a similar day. Not only was it a time of economic, moral, and political darkness, but the people themselves had become darkened by sin and idolatry. In the midst of this darkness, Isaiah writes to offer hope: not the hope of the world, but a biblical hope and a confident expectation that God would fulfill all His promises. It’s not an immediate and earthly hope, but an ultimate and eternal hope in God’s salvation, that amid their darkness, LIGHT was coming. Hope was on the horizon. This hope would not come in the form of a revived economy, a strengthened military, or a new political system, but in the form of a Jewish Son who would be born to them. This is the hope of the world. This is the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Jews, Gentiles, Pharisees, Herodians, the religious and even criminals gathered in rejection of Christ. The diversity of the world united in one thought: they didn’t want Christ as their King. They rejected Him and killed Him, and it begs a question. This question is one that they had to ask themselves, and at some point, each of us must ask ourselves: who is Jesus?

This time, however, his kindness is rejected and the consequences for the Syrians and the Ammonites are disastrous. You and I experience God’s kindness every day. Every breath we take and every beat of our heart is a gift of God’s kindness and grace. God’s expressions of kindness in our life are too numerous to count, and His kindness towards us should lead us to repentance and faith (Romans 2:4). That was the response of Mephibosheth. He responded in humility, faith, and repentance, and he knew the king’s blessing and salvation. For others, they presume upon the kindness of God and their hearts grow hard to Him. How we respond to the kindness of God has eternal consequences. This is a very serious matter. I pray that you will join us this weekend as we consider the kindness of God, and prayerfully our response will not be like the foolish Ammonites.

During this time of the year, those actions tend to be more prevalent as Christmas draws near. This weekend our study in 2 Samuel 9 takes us to one of the most touching illustrations of tender mercy, when King David honors the memory of Jonathan, his trusted friend, by taking care of his son Mephibosheth. Not only did David return to Mephibosheth all the land of his Grandfather, Saul, but he invited Mephibosheth to have a seat at the table of the king himself.

A nation where liberty and justice prevail. America has been a wonderful beacon of hope for this ideal, but America is not perfect. Liberty and justice don’t always prevail. This week as we turn our attention to 2 Samuel 8, we find God establishing His kingdom under David. In v.15 it says, “David administered justice and righteousness for all his people.” David ruled with justice and righteousness. He showed no favoritism. It was beautiful. It wasn’t perfect, but it was probably as close to perfect as it has ever been under a human king. This is the longing of man: a kingdom where justice, righteousness and liberty prevail. America has not achieved it. Israel under David will come close but will fall short.

The ark was coming home. It was an amazing celebration with singing, dancing and instruments, but suddenly, the party stops. The party stops because a man is lying dead. Nothing like a dead body to ruin the fun. Why is he dead? He reached out to prevent the Ark from falling to the ground and God struck him dead. The party stops, King David is angry and the ark is set to the side. This is one of the most difficult and often misinterpreted texts in the book of Samuel. But make no mistake, there is an incredibly significant truth that God must teach David. Beyond this, there is a very practical and significant truth that God desires to teach us. I pray that you will make plans to join us this weekend as we learn more about the holiness of God and what God requires of those who desire to worship Him.

David has been waiting on the fulfillment of God’s promise to make him king. The nation has been waiting on the fulfillment of God’s promise that the land would be completely theirs. David has been waiting for 15 years with the obstacle of King Saul and his house standing in his way. The nation has been waiting for 300 years to finally rid the land of the Jebusites and finally take Jerusalem with the fortified walls of the city standing in their way. David and the nation will learn two very important truths in 2 Samuel 5 that are necessary for us to remember as well. One, the barriers that are seemingly keeping us from the fulfillment of God’s promises are not obstacles but opportunities for the Lord to demonstrate His power. Second, time and distance never diminish the promises of God. Please join us this week as we worship our Savior and turn our attention to the God who always keeps His promises.

He was asked about the difficulties that he must have encountered in sculpting his masterpiece, David. He replied with an unassuming and comical description of his creative process: It is easy. You just chip away the stone that doesn’t look like David. In our study this week, after approximately 15 years of pain, trial and difficulty, David will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Over half his life has been an upward ascension towards the fulfillment of God’s promise to him. In the process, he has achieved what probably feels like a PhD in Pain. But God has changed him. God has been chipping away at all the parts of his life that don’t look like Christ. The problem was never making David king. God could have removed every obstacle and established David as king immediately. The ultimate goal, however, was not just to make David king, but to make David look like Christ. What God did in David’s life is not unique to him. God works in a very similar way in our lives. He gives us promises and His Word and then goes to work chipping away at all the parts of our lives that don’t look like Jesus. The process can be painful, but the byproduct is beautiful.

Sin pervades this chapter of civil war in Israel, and you are left wondering, “What good could possibly come from this?” And yet, if we look closely, I think we will see that so much of this chapter reflects our own lives. We make messes. We sin. Our sin matters, and it has consequences that are painful and even leave us in tears, and we, too, are left wondering, “Lord, what good could possibly come out of this?” The encouragement of this text is that God is at work! God is still working despite the messes and even through the messes. God is still building His Kingdom. God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. And everything that happens to David is pointing us forward to the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords, Jesus Christ. One day, as Revelation 11:15 states, “The kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” I pray that you will join us this weekend as we focus our attention on King Jesus, the One who brings good news to the afflicted, binds up the broken hearted, proclaims liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners.

Israel had no guidelines, rules, or laws from God as it pertains to civil war because it was never part of the design. In the sinfulness of man and the deceitfulness of Satan, however, civil war will break out and it will be ugly. Death is the overwhelming theme of this chapter and where does it start, a bad politician. Abner refuses to submit to David as King. It is a mutiny against the Lord and His anointed. And in this mutiny, we see a vivid commentary on the nature of politics and war and even more we are reminded of the only great King who will bring unity to God’s people, King Jesus. I pray you will make every effort to join us. The corporate gathering of God’s people is a sacred moment.

David grieves the loss of Saul and Jonathan. He remembers past days of faithfulness as the king and the nation walked in faithfulness to God and knew His blessing. He also grieves what has been lost in disobedience and sin. Saul started off so well but sin ate his latter years. Sin and disobedience took away his opportunity to reign. Sin took his son to death. Sin took the army into defeat and sin ultimately cost him his life. Sin always costs us more than we want to pay. Sin matters. And this lesson must be taught to the nation. That’s why David will make it a national song of lament. A song to be taught to their children. Why? Because David knew as the old saying goes, “Those who do not learn history are destined to repeat it.” As David begins his reign, he writes a song of personal grief.

As we look to our study in 1 Samuel 31 this weekend, we’ll recall King Saul’s promising start, but ended in tragedy.

While in a concentration camp, he wrote a hymn. One stanza says this, “And when this cup You give is filled to brimming with bitter suffering, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and beloved hand.” Bonhoeffer expresses a truth that every man or woman of faith has had to learn. Every single trial, affliction, loss, or pain that we experience in the kind and gracious providence of God is an investment in our lives to bear fruit in our service to Him. It is the example of Christ. Costliness and fruitfulness go hand in hand in God’s kingdom work. This week we find David again in a tight spot. He and his men have lost everything. They are experiencing deep pain and frustration yet God is at work. God is working to shape David. He is making an investment in David’s life that will make him even more fruitful in his service as king. In fact, the fruitfulness of his suffering continues in service to us today. What a wonderful truth. I pray this week as we turn our attention to God’s Word we could see that in the midst of our pain and affliction how God is investing something special in us that will bear fruit in our service to Him. And beyond this, at the end of chapter 30, we get a glimpse of God’s great and final victory.

Our natural response is anger and vengeance. God’s people must be marked in a different way. In this passage, the voice of God comes to David from an unusual source. When confronted with God’s Word, he will extend forgiveness, trust God, and move forward in faithfulness. It is a powerful and relevant lesson for all of us as we seek to imitate King Jesus. The ability to extend forgiveness and trust God must be a defining mark of those who follow Christ. How do we respond when we are treated unjustly? Our natural response is anger and vengeance.

David’s men quickly discovered that Nabal was a bitter man who only cared for himself. David’s response was to bring harm to Nabal but, ultimately, God judged Nabal’s selfishness and also prevented David from doing something he might later regret. How we respond to those who wrong us requires that we wait upon the Lord and trust that He will deal with them in His perfect time.

One of the most famous lines from the film was, “No mercy,” which was the mantra of the Cobra Kai Karate School. In the end, it proved to be a poor example of what anyone should live by. This week, in 1 Samuel 24:1-22, David finds himself in a situation that could have brought an immediate end to King Saul’s life. Instead, David spared Saul’s life.

In Matthew 13:1-9, Jesus taught the Parable of the Sower to help us understand what to expect when we share our faith in Him with others. As you continue to pray for those God has placed on your heart during the 40 Days of Prayer & Devotion, this weekend’s message will encourage and help you along the way.

The dialogue was intense and focused on one thing: those who are about to face the wrath of God. You can sense the intensity and urgency in how Abraham called upon God to extend His grace and mercy. How is your intercessory prayer on behalf of those who are without Christ? Are you heartbroken over those you know who will enter eternity without Jesus? Have you told God about it recently? As we prepare for Easter 2022, Pastor Chad is going to dive into this text and deliver a message every believer needs to hear. It’s clear the time is short, and the prayers of God’s people for the lost, broken and hurting are essential to them coming to faith in Jesus Christ.

How different would your neighborhood, city, or state be? Turning the world upside down for Jesus demands a Great Commission mindset. It requires believers to be hyper-focused and engaged in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with a hurting world. What if? What if you completely surrendered your life to Jesus’ mission?

Unable to make their way back, they quickly drift further out to sea. Some are rescued by helping hands and sadly others never make it back to shore. This weekend Pastor Chad will teach from the Book of Revelation chapter 2:12-17 where Jesus addresses the church in Pergamos. This church was given a strong rebuke. They had allowed the distractions of the world to seep into the life and teachings of the church. They no longer upheld the standard of God and His Word. When looking at the 21st Century church today, there are many parallels. Some have given in to false idols, sexual perversion or become a stumbling block to younger generations. What must we do as a church to avoid being caught by the undercurrent of culture while still standing firm in the love and truth of Jesus Christ? Do you know someone that needs rescued? Invite them to watch this message. Almost every month it’s reported that an individual is caught up in the undercurrent of an ocean.

Did it take days, maybe even weeks to fully process? When Daniel received a vision from God it left him befuddled at the end of one account and he recorded these words, “As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart.” Befuddled is to be unable to think clearly, to be confused or greatly perplexed. What was it that Daniel saw that could have affected him to this extent?
