Lake Murray BC Podcast

As we continues our Devoted series in Titus, we are reminded of the importance of clear, convictional, church governance and the sufficiency of the gospel of Jesus. As we study Chapter 1, take note of Paul’s instructions to Timothy of how to structure the church in a way that pleases God and builds upon the foundation of the gospel.

Today we begin our series in Titus: Devoted. These first four introductory verses of Paul's letter to Titus are key to understanding the letter in its entirety. 

The gospel not only has the power to change your family’s identity and purpose, but its legacy. How can we begin now to lay a foundation for the generations to come?

Continuing in our  Family Foundations series, today we'll discuss family responsibility, both in the home and in the church.  Who gives us these responsibilities? What are they? How can we faithfully carry them out?

All of us have experienced family conflict on some level but how do we handle it in a healthy and God-honoring way? How can we turn family conflict into something edifying and transformative? What does it look like to navigate conflict with maturity, empathy, and charity? Jesus gives us both the mandate to obey and the example to follow in the way that we deal with family conflict.

In this message, we'll look at habits of the household—habits that form your family, your marriage, and your parenting. These habits of the household provide a foundation for families living in God’s design.

This morning we’ll study the roles of the various members of a family. Scripture is clear that both the church and the family bring God glory when its members live out God’s design.  We also welcome Jay Boyd from Connie Maxwell Children’s Ministries to discuss how this organization is providing hope for South Carolina’s children and families in need.

Today we begin a new series— Family Foundations.  From the very beginning of time, God designed human beings to live in community with one another and to share a common bond together.  God’s design and desire is for families to flourish by being founded, built, and centered on Jesus.

Our third and final core value at Lake Murray Baptist Church is Commission. Jesus commissions his disciples to share the gospel with their neighbors and the nations.  In light of the Great Commission, we must actively seek out opportunities to both serve and share with those who are close to us but far from Christ.

This week we continue in our Vision & Values series with our 2nd value: Commit.  What does it mean to be fully committed to Christ and his church?  One of the primary ways we express our commitment is through service.  As Mark 10 will demonstrate, true greatness is not found in accomplishment but in godliness exhibited through humble acts of service.
