Church Work Day | October 21
In lieu of our regularly scheduled prayer service, join us next Wednesday for a church work day focused on cleaning, organization, and maintenance around the church building. This will be a great opportunity to serve together, enjoy fellowship, and steward our building so that it remains as hospitable and useful as possible.
Please note: We will still meet at 6:30 pm
All are welcome! Please sign up using the button below so we can plan and assign projects accordingly.
Children’s and Student Ministries: Mission Friends will meet as usual for lessons and activities. Liberty Students, RAs, and GAs will participate in the work day through specially assigned projects.
Liberty Farmer’s Market Outreach | October 17th & 24th
The Historic Downtown Liberty has approved LBC to host the Little Sprouts Corner on October 17th & 24th during the farmers market from 8 a.m.- 12 p.m. At this event, we will have activities for children to participate in, and members hosting will be able to share resources about our church and the gospel. If you are interested in helping host this event, please contact Jacob or Jessica Ward.
For all who come, this is an opportunity as a church to reach our community and share the Gospel. Even if you do not plan to host the event, consider how bringing your children to participate in the activity will help draw other children to our Sprouts Corner. This is an evangelistic event that the whole family can participate in!
Lastly, if you feel ill-equipped to evangelize but would like to learn, let Jacob know, and he would be happy to give you a brief training prior to the event on how to share the gospel with strangers!
Gospel-Centered Resources
Gospel: How the Church Portrays the Beauty of Christ
Ray Ortlund
How does the church portray the beauty of Christ? The gospel is a theological message. But this message also creates human beauty—beautiful relationships in our churches, making the glory of Christ visible in the world today. In this timely book, Pastor Ray Ortlund makes the case that gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. In too many of our churches, it is the beauty of a gospel culture that is the missing piece of the puzzle. But when the gospel is allowed to exert its full power, a church becomes radiant with the glory of Christ.

Listen up!
Christopher Ash
Why on earth does anyone need a guide on how to listen to sermons? Don't we simply need to 'be there' and stay awake? Yet Jesus said: 'Consider carefully how you listen.' The fact is, much more is involved in truly listening to Bible teaching than just sitting and staring at the preacher. Christopher Ash outlines seven ingredients for healthy listening. He then deals with how to respond to bad sermons - ones that are dull, or inadequate, or heretical. And finally, he challenges us with ideas for helping and encouraging our Bible teachers to give sermons that will really help us to grow as Christians. Where does the authority of a Bible teacher come from? Why is Bible teaching offensive? Why is it important to hear Bible teaching in church? How can we actually enjoy Bible teaching more? These (and more) are the questions answered by this practical guide, which includes effective, hands-on suggestions for implementing each idea. All with the aim of helping us learn how to listen properly, so that through His word, God will make us more and more Christlike.

Practical Discipleship: Living as a Church | Equipping Room A
In Ephesians 3, the apostle Paul makes the staggering assertion that the means by which God has chosen to display his manifold wisdom throughout the world and even to the rulers and authorities in the heavens is the church. It’s local churches across the globe and throughout time. It’s the members of LBC! How does this work? What does this look like? Join us as we consider what Scripture has to say about walking in a manner worthy of this high calling, and look at practical ways (gathering, praying, serving, evangelizing) that Liberty Baptist Church seeks to live together
