Promoting the Gospel Conference for Pastors

November 17th - 19th we are hosting a Pastors Conference call Promoting the Gospel. This is a unique opportunity for L.B.C. to host and minister to pastors.

John Dickson will be our main speaker. John is Director of the Centre for Public Christianity in Australia. Many of you have read his book, Promoting the Gospel. John will bring a fresh perspective on the issue of promoting the gospel through the local church.

On Sunday, November 16th, John will preach in the morning service and that evening he will be bringing a message for unbelievers. This is an opportunity for you to bring a friend who is not a Christian to come and hear a clear presentation of the gospel. Who can you invite? Begin praying now for those people you know and bring them with you on November 16th. Invitation cards will be available soon.

This is a great opportunity for L.B.C. to promote the gospel to Oldham County. Who will you invite?

Adopt a College Student 2008

The Adopt a Student Ministry was started four years ago as a way to keep in touch with our college students through prayer, cards, and small gifts. Statistics show that the majority of youth will walk away from church and the Lord after they graduate from high school. Our aim with this ministry is to keep students connected with LBC and to stand in the gap for them through prayer.

Please take a moment to ask God if He is calling you to be a part of this ministry, then stop by the adoption table in the foyer to get all the details.

You will be encouraged by him.

Second there are 3 different daily devotional resources found under the new RESOURCES menu in the menu bar on virtually every page of our website and blog. The devotionals include the Daily Light on the Daily Path, a Read the Bible in 1 Year program, and a Chronilogical Bible reading program. Lastly, we have also added a search feature to search the Bible by passage or topic/keyword. This search feature is available both from the new RESOURCES menu and from the SEARCH menu.

Journey Into Glory

Dr. Eric Johnson will be teaching a class called "Journey Into Glory" on Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM beginning September 19th. The aim of the class is to help understand and make progress in your journey as a Christian from here to glory, offering biblical wisdom in realistic spiritual growth. We all face obstacles along this path and at times we need help. The outcome will be to know how to grow your own soul to a strong and healthy state and how to help others along this sometimes difficult path of earthly life.
