Our teaching at LBF centers on speaking to the heart while informing the mind. We strive to develop our teachings as culturally relevant, full of real-life stories – which make the meanings of scriptures easier to understand and remember, applicable to our daily lives, and sometimes down right funny.
We believe Biblical teaching is the catalyst for transformation in the lives of individuals and in the church as a whole. At LBF, we value an expositional style of Biblical teaching. By this, we strive to draw out the meaning and truths found in the Bible
We view the Bible as God’s communication to humanity. According to the Psalms, the Word of God has been given to restore our souls and impart wisdom. It also enlightens our eyes, reveals God’s righteousness. God’s Word endures forever.
Scripture was revealed not merely to inform us but also to transform us. And as we value teaching, preaching, and the study of the Bible, we are transformed into the character of Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:19). Teaching is the process of translating God’s unchanging truths into concepts, terms, and practices that are understandable and appropriate to our cultural setting today.
Favorites Playlist
I have one of those iPods that can hold like a billion songs. Well not
really, but I do have nearly 4,000 songs on my iPod. But the question comes: How do I return to find one of my favorites when I want to hear it again? The answer: I put it in my favorites playlist. That is the idea behind our next message series. Each speaker will be picking his favorite passage from the Bible and teaching on that passage. They will be including not only the meaning of the passage, but also how this passage has impacted his life. Here is what lies ahead:
