Lessons of Liberty Liberty Baptist Church

Sometimes fear feels so strong that it might take over our lives. How should we respond to overwhelming fear? Pastor Nate explains from Luke 1:26-38 that looking to God's sovereignty can transform our fears into the kind of obedient faith that Mary modeled when Gabriel announced Jesus's birth.

How should we respond when we start doubt God and His work? Pastor Rory explains from Luke 1:1-25 and the story of Zechariah that only the promises of God can crush the doubt that challenge our faith in Christ.

Pentecost is the birthday of the church, God's chosen means of working in the world today. We must understand the purpose of the church and what it accomplishes in our lives. Pastor Rory explains from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24 how the church contributes to our complete sanctification.

Doubts and fears arise when hope falters in the face of unbelief. Pastor Rory shows us from Hebrews 11:32-40 how God's grace provides the means and confidence to keep believing and hoping in God. Despite the failures of the Judges named in Hebrews 11, God helped their unbelief when it mattered most.

Why is Judges in the Bible? The stories range from the amazing to the absurd, from the encouraging to the sordid, and as we read them, we ask ourselves why these stories. Pastor Rory sets Judges in the context of Scripture and explains what it contributes to the story as a whole in this Biblical theology of Judges.

When all seems lost and failure overwhelms you, remember God's purposes are still being accomplished. Consider how the concluding chapter of Judges points to this hopeful end as Pastor Rory emphasizes the faithful goodness of God.
