Lincoln Berean Church

It’s not so much that you need to do something different, as it is you need to think differently about what you’re already doing.

If the tomb is empty, that changes everything!

Whether you've had a great week as super Christian or whether you’ve had a lousy week and messed up, your worthiness to stand right before God does not come from your performance; it comes from the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus Christ—and Christ alone!

There’s nobody too far for God’s grace. There’s nobody too far gone for God’s salvation. No matter what, you don’t need anything else. Christ is enough! This weekend's service also included baptism. The full service contains all of the baptisms that took place. Saturday Night baptisms start at 35:44, Sunday 1st service baptisms start at 01:02:18, and Sunday 2nd service baptisms start at 01:25:23.

You don't have to go get good or get religious, God offers you salvation freely as a gift if you're willing to receive it.

We’re not only family but we’re teammates—we’re running this together.

Discipline isn’t punitive; discipline isn’t punishment. Discipline is teaching; it’s instruction; it’s correction in order that we may run the race well.

This race isn’t easy; it’s hard; it’s lonely. It can get confusing and painful, but you have to know that the saints of old are gathered in the bleachers of heaven and they are cheering.

Where are you going to take direction for fullness of life?

They were unwilling to settle for the things of this world and knew that one day, by faith, they would be in a better city, in a place their souls longed for.

I am a stranger and an alien; I’m just passing through. I’m looking for a place I can call home.

What do we mean by faith and what does this look like lived out in real life?

The purpose of the gospel is not to possess a ticket to heaven but to enter in to a deeply meaningful, soul-satisfying relationship with Jesus.

It is virtually impossible for any religious activity or work to make us right as sinners before a holy God.

Religion, at its core, is the belief that somehow, some way, I can make myself right or acceptable to God.

“You love and worship Me best by loving the least.”

Do you think God’s a liar or is He trying to tell you the truth?

The gospel isn’t just relevant to those not acquainted with Christ, but to us as believers everyday.

It’s good to remind ourselves that God didn’t send His Son into the world because all was well with the world.

Have we become so familiar with the story that it ceases to be wondrous?

God’s still doing audacious things—and He has something for you and me to do.

Jesus didn’t enter through the holy place, He became the holy place through which we access the very presence of God.

It was the beginning of something radical—the transition from the picture to the reality.

How does someone become complete in Christ? Is it through programs and a lot of religious activity, or is it some other way?

As people made in the image of God, there is something deep within us that longs to know God. But what many experience is religion, and religion ends up being distasteful and greatly dissatisfying.
