Dear Liberty Church, The Book of Acts teaches us that the disciples, while waiting for Pentecost, were of “one mind” and were “devoting themselves to prayer.” What strikes you as odd about this statement? Perhaps the idea of being of “one mind” is most peculiar, as it is often difficult…

Dear Liberty Church, This upcoming Sunday we begin our new morning sermon series in the Book of Acts, and I cannot think of a better book for us to study during this time of COVID. The entire world has been confronted with questions about the nature and legitimacy of church,…

Dear Liberty Church, As we come near to the end of the Gospel of Luke during our Sunday morning worship, we also come to the first Sunday of the month of August, and in case some of us have forgotten, this is when we traditionally have had the Lord’s Supper.…

Dear Liberty Church, During the next few weeks, I imagine that there will be a whiplash effect on many of us. We may read encouraging reports of COVID-19 and this quarantine, that numbers are plateauing, that businesses can reopen, that vaccines are imminent, and then the very next day, we…
