Gather | That Gives Itself Away | Week 5
Our vision for the next season of Liberty Bible Church is not primarily about our buildings, but about the mission God has given His church. That mission is for us to know God and His love, and to spend our lives seeking to gather others before Him. God is challenging us to enter into a fresh season of multiplying disciples, leaders, groups and churches.
LIFESTYLE
Is the whole of my life gathered before God? Am I sold out to the calling and vision God has for my life? Is my life spent in intentional pursuit of the Kingdom of God?
GENEROSITY
How is God inviting me to grow in generosity as an expression of trust, gratitude, and gathering my life before Him?
LEGACY
What is my legacy? What would others say and what would God say — about the time and gifts He gave to me in my life? Where has my life pointed — toward Christ or toward myself?

Light in our Darkness | Advent Week 4
“Advent bids us take a fearless inventory of the darkness.” -Fleming Rutledge)
Few words feel more out of place at Christmas time than – darkness. To speak of darkness in a season of elves, reindeers, and Santa Claus – feels slightly out of place. When we think of Christmas we think – light.
And we should. Advent means arrival. Coming. Christmas is the season we dwell on the incredible truth that the Creator has visited His creation. The Maker has become a guest among all He has made. The Light has invaded the darkness. That is the good news of Advent. Light – in the midst – of darkness. Light – overwhelming the darkness – because our God has come among us.

Dr. Yuan | Session 5: Texts and Hermeneutics
There are six passages in Scripture which touch on the issue of homosexuality and condemn same-sex relationships. And yet some claim they do not. So what does the Bible really say? With a deep understanding of Hebrew, Greek, contextual issues, and biblical exegesis, Dr. Christopher Yuan presents and analyzes the gay-affirming interpretations of these Old Testament and New Testament passages with clarity and compassion.
Dr. Yuan | Holy Sexuality and the Gospel
Hear a powerful testimony from Dr. Christopher Yuan as he articulates a biblical view of sexuality through the narrative of his personal transformation from an agnostic gay man to born-again believer and a professor at Moody Bible Institute. Not only does God turn his unbelief into belief, but God also freed him from the bondage of drugs and promiscuity. This inspirational story of redemption and grace transcends the topic of sexual identity touching on issues such as drug addiction, promiscuity, incarceration, and HIV.
Dr. Yuan's message of redemption is one that points to our Heavenly Father who is calling all of us prodigals to run to Him. Christopher casts a compelling vision of not embracing our sexuality, but embracing Christ, thus shattering the paradigms of gay and straight and pointing us toward the biblical standard of holy sexuality.
Dr. Yuan | Session 3: Homosexuality: Nature vs. Nuture
There are two camps: nature (biological) and nurture (environmental). Both claim to be right with science to back them up. With his background in the health sciences, Dr. Christopher Yuan reviews the scientific studies but more importantly, helps to show how causation and sexuality are better understood in light of biblical anthropology.
