Instead of binding you with religion, Paul said, you were not bound under my leadership. Actually, as an apostle, I will allow myself to be bound for your sake. For the sake of church planting and missions, I will endure whatever hardships come my way because Satan doesn’t want God’s work to advance.…

Quotes from Charles Stanley about Prayer
[Regarding the church] I'm concerned that there isn't dependence upon the Holy Spirit as much as upon music and other things. I've noticed the emphasis is more on leadership than on the Holy Spirit and the work of the Lord.Charles Stanley, quotes from Christianity Today (Nov 2012) as he approaches retirement
My whole life has been wrapped in asking, Who is God? How do I have an intimate relationship with him? How can I listen to him knowing that he’s the one doing the speaking? I want the Holy Spirit to interpret the truth to me.

Henry Blackaby: Prayer
When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
The greatest moments in a Christian’s life come through prayer.…
Vision of the Church: Gospel and Prayer
Acts 2
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.…
1 Kings 19 – The God of Whispers (pt3 of 4)
If the story ended here, it would be a glorious ending. But it doesn’t. Chapter 19 just doesn’t fit in with the rest of Elijah’s life and ministry.
Elijah’s life up until this point is exemplary. His life is one that all Christians would hope to emulate.…
Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7): Being Doers of the Word (pt3 of 4)
Next, Jesus gives us a second area that we can put into practice, namely in our public witness.
Matthew 5:13-16 talks about being salt and light. Why are we to be salt and light? v16–
Matt 5
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.…
Lord’s Supper: Preaching the Gospel to Ourselves in Prayer
Please turn with me to 1 Corinthians 11.
At LBC, we observe the Lord’s Supper every other month. That’s in contrast to some churches that observe it every week and others that hardly observe it at all. The argument can be made not to observe it every week because if this is a weekly practice, this ordinance will lose its meaning.…
Matthew 7:1-6 – Judging Without a Judgmental Spirit (pt4 of 4)
It’s not a coincidence that the verses that follow the “do not judge” section are about prayer. Verse 7 – ask, seek, knock. Before you confront someone, ask God for wisdom. Is my judgment even accurate? Is it a sin issue?…
1 Cor 3:18-23 – All Are Yours (pt3 of 3)
v22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future.
Death, the present, the future–I want to group those last three together because I think they are related.
Let me read from Matt 6:31-33.…
