New Song on Sunday
We will be introducing a new song to sing together on Sunday morning, entitled “Those Who Look to Him are Radiant” by Scripture Hymnal. It is word-for-word Psalm 34:4-6, and sings of the great blessing of turning our faces and souls to trust in Christ. In an effort to add more Psalms to our list, and due to our mini-series on the Psalms, adding this song felt appropriate this month!
Discover LBC for Guests on January 19th after Second Service
We are offering a short gathering time for guests who are interested in Membership, learning more about LBC, and meeting the elders after the second service on January 19th. It answers the question, “I’m interested in joining LBC, but now what?” Light snacks and drinks will be provided. This will be offered three times in the year, positioned in-between membership cycles in order to offer care and connection to our guests who desire to join LBC. Please share this event with guests you may have met in past weeks!
Exploring Membership 2025
The next round of the Exploring Membership Course will be held February 2nd - March 2nd. This will be a class held on Sunday during the 9:00am Equipping Group hour in Liberty Students room (112). Participation in the class does not obligate anyone to “join” the church, but it is required as the first step in pursuing membership. If you know someone who would like to participate, please direct them to lbcliberty.org/exploringmembership by February 1st. Members are also welcome to join, meet prospective members, and review what the Bible has to say about God’s design for the local church!
Spring Missions Reading Group
The Spring Missions Reading Group begins this coming Thursday, January 23. It is open to all members eager to learn about God's heart for the nations and how we can participate in advancing the gospel around the world. Over 4 meetings on Thursday evenings from 6:00-7:50pm this Spring, we'll enjoy a light dinner, discuss Marks of the Messenger by Mack Stiles, and pray for current missionaries connected with LBC. For those interested, please complete the brief form below to help us with meal planning and a bulk book order. Contact Pastor Aaron (astrent@gmail.com) with any questions you may have.
Bible Reading in 2025
Read Scripture with us in 2025 by using this Bible Reading Plan. Each day includes four sections from across Scripture offering flexibility and variety throughout the year. For example, if you're new to the daily habit of Bible reading, you could start with working through the Gospels this year. Hard copies of the reading plan will be available on Sundays over the next few weeks. This free audiobook from Crossway might also be a helpful encouragement as you prepare to join us. Pick up a copy of Jeremy Kindle’s book, How Can I Get More Out of My Bible Reading?, in the lobby and read as he explains how the church acts as God’s school, helping us read and follow Scripture through teaching, fellowship, and discipleship. We're praying this additional layer of biblical reverberation throughout our church family roots us deeper in Christ and bears spiritual fruit to the glory of God!
