The angelic announcement to Mary was truly incredible, that she, being a virgin, would conceive and bear the Christ-child. What is also amazing is Mary’s response to this unbelievable news. Her posture is one that every believer should emulate, “ I am the bond servant of the Lord."

Join LBC this week onsite or online as we begin the journey to Christmas.

Have you been without hope? In 1 Samuel 11, Jabesh Gilead is far off, without hope, and in desperate need of a Savior. The Lord will raise up His man who is humble, dependent, and most importantly empowered by the Holy Spirit to conquer Israel’s great enemy and work salvation for His glory. Does this sound familiar? It should for those who have come to know God’s salvation through Christ. Join us this weekend as we see Christ in an ancient battle and a far away place.

"Imagine receiving everything you pray for. Would it really be what you want? Sometimes, God gives us what we pray for just to show us how misguided we can be.

In 1 Samuel this week, King Saul, the chosen leader of Israel, is found hiding, and as we’ll see, sometimes God’s judgment comes in the form of an answered prayer."

In 1 Samuel 10, Samuel says to Saul as he anoints his head with oil, “Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?” We’ve just completed the mid-term election cycle in the United States, and these words couldn't be more fitting. The text for this week teaches that it is ultimately God who raises up and He who sets down. Saul became king because God anointed him to be. Join Pastor Chad for a timely message from God’s Word.

Long before the United States formed, politics and religion intersected. In fact, it was God who instituted this relationship, and the idea of separation of church and state was nonexistent. In 1 Samuel 9, you will see the freewill of man and the sovereignty of God at work when the first king is appointed over the nation Israel.

Ever ask God for something you desperately wanted, but He warned, “You don’t want that." After insisting, He delivered, and you quickly regretted ever asking. This week, in 1 Samuel 8, the Israelites wanted a king so they could be like everyone else, but God warned them of the consequences. Be careful what you ask for!

The Bible talks often about idols and the call to remove those fake gods from our lives. In 1 Samuel 7, the Israelites put away their man-made images and directed their worship to the one true God. Do we have false gods today? Money, professional athletes, celebrities, position, status, and even ourselves name a few. What would happen if we completely ignored all the distractions and turned to fully worship the Lord Jesus, our God and Savior? The Israelites provide a glimpse of this from our text. See you this weekend!

The Bible says, “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Some approach God with a very cavalier attitude. Others refer to His position and authority with little regard. This week, our study from 1 Samuel 6, Scripture will instruct us on how to approach a holy, righteous, and just God.
