Lake Murray BC Podcast

In the wake of a natural disaster, the letter of 1 Peter reminds us that we have a living hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In today's sermon, we see how disaster gives us perspective, proof, and an opportunity to love and serve others just as Christ has loved and served us.

If the theme of the first half of 1 Peter 1 is hope, then the theme of the second half of the chapter is holiness. In today's sermon, we see how Peter challenges the churches in Asia Minor to pursue holiness as they seek to honor Christ in every area of life.

The opening verses of 1 Peter are filled with gospel encouragement and truth, especially to those facing present difficulties. In today's sermon we see how the living hope that believer's experience through the resurrection of Christ is a hope that endures for eternity.

The New Testament letter of 1 Peter was written to the churches of Asia Minor who were experiencing pressure to abandon the gospel through opposition and persecution. Peter writes to these men and women encouraging them to stand firm in their faith as they endure suffering by reminding them to look forward to their future reward.

In the final of our 'Vision & Values' sermon series we consider our third core value: Commission. In today's passage we see how God intends to bless his people for the sake of his name among the nations.

In the third sermon of our 'Vision & Values' series we consider Lake Murray's second core value: Commit. In our passage today, we see from the book of James how our commitment to Christ is most clearly seen through our obedience to his word.

In the second sermon of our 'Vision & Values' series, we look at Lake Murray's core value of 'Connect'. In the book of Acts, we see the disciples living in a new community together and how this gospel community was part of God's plan for the flourishing of his church.

Lake Murray Baptist Church exists to glorify Jesus in our commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. In today's passage, the first in our 'Vision and Values' series, we see how the identity of the church shapes her worship and mission.

In the 'Parable of the Mustard Seed' we learn that sometimes the greatest of things come from the humblest of beginnings. In our passage today, Jesus teaches about the arrival of the kingdom of God and how his disciples are to live in the "already not yet."

The 'Parable of the Rich Fool' begins with Jesus fielding a request about dividing an inheritance and ends with a warning about covetousness. In this passage, Jesus teaches his disciples about the dangers of covetousness and how the gospel frees our hearts from its grasp.
