In the book of Nehemiah, God calls his people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The restoration of the walls points to the renewal God seeks in their spiritual lives. While an ancient story, Nehemiah’s leadership and perseverance in the face of opposition will inspire us today. In our series on Nehemiah,  we will be challenged to rebuild the areas of our lives that are in ruins from sin through the only solution available to us: the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The discussion questions for this week can be found HERE. The discussion questions for previous weeks can be found HERE. You can access this week's bulletin HERE. 

What you believe about God shapes how you live. The question is, do you believe what is right and true? Systematic theology is not only for seminarians or long-time Christians--it's for all of us. Regardless of how long you have been a Christian, this class will help you to grow in your faith by growing your understanding of God through His Word. This class is the second part led by Pastor Dan and others. 

This class takes place Sunday mornings 8:30-9:30 am.

​

Classes will meet May 4th - June 22nd.  Some of the topics to be covered in this class will be the work of Christ, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, God's plan of redemption and doctrines of salvation, as well as what is the church and Christian beliefs about the end times.

Every year from Mother's Day (May 11) to Father's Day (June 15) we ask the LBC Family to participate in the Baby Bottle Boomerang sponsored by Solutions Health and Pregnancy Center.  Baby Bottle Boomerang is a way for you to directly provide needed services for local women in crisis.  By "filling" our bottle, you can help fund ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, and counseling that will help women choose life for their babies!  

This year, we will be "boomeranging" a bit differently. We will have one large baby bottle on the table by the bulletin board and at the other entry to LBC. You can drop your contributions in that one large baby bottle (check or cash) or you can scan the QR code on the baby bottle to make your contribution or pick up a business card with the QR code.  The QR code will take you directly to the Solutions Pregnancy Center's site so you can make your contribution there.  You can also click HERE to make your donation.  Thank you for supporting this ministry.

This approach allows you to take your time and reflect on each chapter, while still making steady progress towards your goal. By the end of the year, you'll have a deeper understanding of the teachings and stories contained within the New Testament.  You can find more information HERE.

Pastor Chris reads one chapter of the New Testament and provides one devotional thought every weekday in this podcast. It follows along with LBC's New Testament-in-a-year Bible reading plan, which you can download at lincroftbiblechurch.org/biblereading.
