Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ is Essential

Lebanon Baptist — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 15:11:42 +0000

Many Christians tend to consider gathering with the church more of an option on the “Christian buffet” than a central reality of their discipleship. With endless access to live stream conferences, streaming worship music, and preaching podcasts, we can get our personal spiritual needs met in a much more customized way. So, why bother hauling yourself down the road to a place where you’re often bothered by the people, put up with the music, and sometimes are unimpressed with the preaching? […]

2022 Bible Reading Plans

Lebanon Baptist — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 15:19:19 +0000

In His book, Reverberation, pastor and author Jonathan Leeman says, “God’s Word working through God’s Spirit, is God’s primary instrument for growing God’s church.” From the very beginning, it has been His Word that God has used to bring life, growth, and health. This is why we would suggest that our core value of Biblical Truth is foundational to our church. It’s the spring from which all the other values flow and the bedrock in which all the other values are anchored. […]

Suffering and Gospel Advance

Lebanon Baptist — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 15:12:39 +0000

In our series through Philippians, we saw Paul follow his prayer for the church at Philippi with these words, “I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.” 2 Corinthians 11:25-28 gives us a glimpse of some of the things that have happened to him since his conversion: Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. […]

Trusting God in the Darkness

Lebanon Baptist — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 13:30:59 +0000

The thinking often goes like this – if there were a God, not only could He stop the suffering, He would want to stop it. Since there is still suffering, then the God of the Bible must not exist. However, for many followers of Jesus, it’s not an issue of God’s existence, rather it’s an issue of God’s goodness and greatness. If God is great, He would do something, and if God were good then He would want to do something. As a […]

How Do I Get Involved in Church, Part 2

Lebanon Baptist — Tue, 20 Jul 2021 17:13:36 +0000

This is part 2 of a three-part post on getting involved in church. It is based on our recent study of Romans 12. Be sure to read part 1 from last month’s post. In this day and age of church-attenders looking for flash, pizzaz, and excitement, “getting involved” in church the way in which we are advocating may seem a bit uninspiring. However, if we are committed to viewing the church in a Biblical way, then when we look to the […]
