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?

Beth Moore Bible Study

A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place.

Taken primarily from the Book of Exodus, A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place by Beth Moore will take you on a fascinating journey into why God would chose to live in a wilderness tabernacle, made by human hands.

Taped in Beth’s home church in Houston, this updated edition of A Woman’s Heart contains all new video footage and exciting new graphics. Regardless of whether you studied Beth Moore’s first LifeWay study years ago, you’ll find A Woman’s Heart well worth another visit.

While the title is familiar, the content for this in-depth video teaching series is all new and rich in detail.

Registration begins August 12. The study begins August 30 from 7-9pm for evening and Friday, August 31 from 9:30-11:30 for morning classes.

We always need child care workers for morning classes. If you are interested in helping with childcare, please contact us.
