Faithfulness in Prayer



We had a wonderful 32nd Anniversary celebration of the organization of TLBC with our guest speaker Kenneth Long, Pastor of the Providence Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. We have the audio of the sermons saved on our church Facebook Page. Click Here

Good services today again as Pastor returned to his series on Prayer. The sermon today was on "Faithfulness in Prayer" and can be heard HERE.

*The Old Pastor's Last Request*

'An old pastor lay dying. He sent a message for an IRS agent and his lawyer
to come to the hospital. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his
room. As they entered the room, the pastor held out his hands and motioned
for them to sit on each side of the bed.

The pastor grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled, and stared at
the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and lawyer
were touched and flattered that the old man would ask them to be with him
during his final moments. They were also puzzled because the pastor had
never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally, the Lawyer asked, 'Pastor, why did you ask the two of us to come
here?'

The old pastor mustered all his strength, then said weakly, 'Jesus died
between two thieves, and that's how I'd like to go.'
