Lincoln Berean Church

God takes us in the hard situations not to crush us but so that we can learn to see His hand and learn to trust Him when He’s doing a good work.

That's the opportunity God is giving us, to join Him in His workplace and get to know Him better by getting involved in what He is doing.

“We have to understand the hope of the gospel is that everything you long for will be realized, but not in this life.”

“We can’t keep staying as infants; we have to decide are we in or are we out, and keep learning.”

"If we don’t take seriously the warning and continue to grow as believers, we simply lack the maturity we need to live righteously in a very confusing and dangerous world."

“Sabbath rest is when we rest from our own attempts at self-righteousness and we simply rest in what God has done for us through Jesus.”

“Do you believe God tells the truth?”

“Jesus has conquered sin and death! But to do that, He Himself had to become human and blaze the trail.”

“It’s not a never; it’s just a not yet.”

“In your heart of hearts, do you really believe Jesus is enough for whatever it is you're going through?”

“God has promised redemption, restoration and renewal, and through his salvation is bringing us to a place where things will be made right again.”

God isn’t like an angry judge, waiting to whack people. He’s like the father in the story of the prodigal son. Day after day after day he waits, and he looks to the horizon and he wonders, “Will this be the day that my son finally comes home?”

“One of the first steps to traveling down the path of life is to be willing to be honest”

“Whether you're talking about violence, racial tension, or sexual abuse, we've created a culture we have to live in, and now that we're living in it, we're saying, “Wait a minute, we don't like it!” There is a better way, but the better way has to be traveling the path of light as defined by God's Word, not by the false teachers.”

“Don’t mistake His patience or mercy for a God who will not act. Judgment will come. But in the midst of that is also the reminder that God has also been faithful to rescue His children.”

"You can believe whatever you want. That doesn’t make it true, and are you really willing to risk your eternal destiny on nothing more than your opinion?"

“God has done His part, but I have to be willing to do my part. That’s what it means to live out this magnificent gospel truth.”

“None of us stands before God on the basis of our own performance, on the basis of our own religious activity. We equally stand in the righteousness of Christ—therefore, no one more than, no one less than.”

“My hope is built on my belief that no matter what happens in this life, Jesus is coming back, He will fulfill His promise, and there will be this grand victory celebration around the glory of God!”

“I want to know that I gave everything I had to be part of the victory when we celebrate this magnificent victory at the return of Christ.”

"At the end of the story there’s only one opinion that matters, and that is the opinion of God, and God has been perfectly clear that there is no way to God except through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ."

“You have every reason for hope.”

"At the end of the day, you have to own your own story.”

"We’re free to be a bond slave to Christ, which means we’re free to surrender and submit in order to accomplish the mission which we have been given."
