    On the day after Christmas, on St. Stephen’s Day, we learn that though getting to heaven is easy through Jesus, carrying his cross on earth often times isn’t. But if being a Christian is difficult, it is even more so for the unbeliever.

    Festival of St. Stephen Matthew 23:34-39 I have always had a healthy respect for all branches of the military, and not to take anything away from the other divisions of our armed forces, but one branch particularly stands out in my mind: the Marine Corps.

    Four word pictures about the church for people investigating the Christian faith.

    Back when I was a college intern here at LBF Church, we sent some college students on a short-term missions trip to London.

    As God’s Church we gather together to worship God as his people; to remember Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf; to build one another up; to stir one another up to love and good works; and to encourage one another to persevere to the end.

    What does it mean to be God’s Church? That is, God’s people, literally ’called out’ of the world. Why should we meet regularly with other believers in this place? What do we think we’re doing when we gather here Sunday after Sunday? Perhaps you’ve never really stopped to think about those sorts of ...read more

    Stephen had rights - he could have walked away from the confrontation with the Jews - but as a Christian he had responsibilities. The challenge is how to balance these

    Why did Luke include the mention of Apollos in his narrative at this point?

    “Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.” Whether it was intentional on Luke’s part or just a by-product of the meticulous manner in which he gathered information and compiled it in his letters to ...read more

    Jesus called himself "The Good Shepherd." This message looks at proving that Only Jesus fills this role. He is "good" because He is God. He is the Shepherd, not just a shepherd.

We have explored significant lessons Jesus gave as He made these descriptive statements about himself. “I AM” - He clearly used it to identify himself as God “I AM the way, the truth & the life” – In ...read more
