Lincoln Berean Church

The proper response to God's grace and mercy is thankful humility and courage, not pride and fear.

Do you have a community who will help you carry your mat, and whose mat you will carry?

The story of the rich young ruler shows us that our beliefs about wealth can actually be a stumbling block to fully surrendering to Jesus.

Jesus is calling us to take intentional next steps to be near him no matter who we are.

Jesus invites us to come in from the crowd and enjoy the rest that only he can provide to our weary, heavy-laden hearts.

Recapping the full Lord's Prayer together encourages us to respond gratefully to God for all the ways we are shaped by his goodness.

Because of the victory Jesus ultimately won at the cross, we do not have to give in to the evil one when struggling with trials and temptations.

Does Jesus tempt us? Or does he clear a path for us to never experience struggles in our lives?

As we spend time with the one who has forgiven our debts, we will be shaped into people who learn to forgive the debts of others.

If God has already forgiven our sin by grace through faith in Jesus, why are we encouraged to continue asking him to forgive our debts?

Our good Father is calling us to a life of dependance on him in every aspect of life—especially those areas where we're at the end of our ability to control our little kingdoms.

There is an aspect to God's will that is hidden and will always be done, and an aspect that is revealed and is only done if we choose to submit to it.

Has God's kingdom always existed? Does he force anyone to acknowledge his rule and reign? How do you enter his kingdom if you don't think you're part of it?

Praying for God's name to be hallowed would completely change our own hearts, not to mention the whole world.

The first few words of the Lord's Prayer are more than an intro throwaway line made to prep you for the meat of the prayer.

Romans 1-8 showed us how deeply beautiful the gospel is for followers of Jesus, and that we should never settle for a lesser version of the good news.

The good news of the gospel means that despite what we experience in this world, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus!

Because of what is true of us in Jesus, we no longer stand condemned, are adopted into the family of God, and can live according to the Spirit.

Where should we find our hope and strength in the midst of continued struggles with sin as imperfect human beings?

Death changes things. So why does our death to sin and the law not look or feel like freedom in Christ?

We are all slaves to something or someone, but Paul says only Jesus is the loving master we were created to serve.

The gospel isn't just good news for our future, it offers us the opportunity to walk in newness of life now.

Intellectually, we know that Jesus has defeated sin and death. But do our lives show that we still believe sin and death reign as the true king?

Being justified by grace through faith is more than simply a fact—it should result in living our lives differently.

If Abraham and David both have no standing before God because of their rock star religious status, maybe justification by faith really is good news.

Because justification comes by grace through faith and not works, we can give up our attempt to earn favor and compare ourselves to others.

The fact that our sin accentuates God's holiness is not an excuse to sin even more—our desperate need is met by Jesus alone.

God doesn't play favorites, so we all stand before him in desperate need of the salvation he offers—regardless of how good we think we are on our own.

The problem with the world isn't what is "out there"—it's the desperate need created by the problem of sin inside each of our own hearts.

Left to ourselves, we're lost. But Paul tells us that the gospel is God's response to what is wrong with the world.

Bryan shares his final message as a member of our staff and encourages us to remember that the same God who got us here will be faithful to lead us forward.

Bryan takes a little time to share five major themes we need to keep in mind as followers of Jesus in order to come to the end of our life and know we have finished well.

As humans, we don't love change, but our lives are full of it. How do we walk through change well as followers of Jesus?

Is giving something we're just called to begrudgingly do, or is it a means of God's grace to us that gives us a foretaste of heaven?

What is it we ultimately live for? We all have a limited number of days, so how do we make sure we don't waste them?

What did you do with the 365 days you were given in 2025?

Maybe the problem isn’t a lack of evidence. Maybe the problem is a will not to believe.

When crisis invades our life and threatens to capture all of our attention and rob us of all hope, what do we need the most?

As we consider this call to community, do we really believe, as challenging as it is, that it's worth it?

The reason it's so important to take truth seriously is because the deceiver, the liar, has sent out missionaries to deceive you.

Is there anything that we can absolutely know with certainty?

Will we believe God, or will we make Him a liar?

The most loving thing I can do for the people around me is to keep His commandments.

Love doesn't start with me. It starts with God because God is love.

Will we embrace what it means to be Bereans, to diligently study the scriptures?

Part of the reality of being fallen people living in a broken world is we all struggle with insecurities.

Have you experienced the feast of the Father?

The great concern of the New Testament is that we will be invaded from within.
