7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. 8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”
10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?” 11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Reflections:
Too often people think about Jesus as just some other person making some claim on our lives, but how does it change things when we realize that He is the sovereign King and Creator who has rightful claim over all thing … yet who humbly comes calling us to Himself?

While churches were not strictly forbidden from gathering, Liberty Hill had opted to suspend in-person gatherings and began holding remote services. On Monday, April 27th, Governor Abbott issued an executive order allowing business to begin to reopen under certain guidelines. As we begin to get out and resume a more normal daily life in general, we have decided to also begin the transition into more normal church life as well.
Beginning Sunday, May 10th, Liberty Hill will resume gatherings for Sunday morning services and Wednesday evening Bible study.
Sunday School resumed May 24th, in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00am.
Sunday Evening Bible Study resumes June 7th at 6:00pm.
Wednesday Evening Youth Activities (7:00pm) have resumed as of June 3rd.
All other events will remain suspended for now. Over the next several weeks, we hope to begin activities again as we determine the best and safest course of action to do so.
We WILL continue livestreaming the Sunday services and Wednesday Bible study.
If you have a condition that places you at higher risk from the disease, or just prefer to play it safe for now, please feel free to remain home. I do not want anyone to feel they are obligated to return to church in person at this time.
But for those who are able and wish to gather, we will be open with the following guidelines to help us all get through this time safely.
We all know that the Coronavirus can be spread to others by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. While LHBC will be mindful of federal and state laws and guidance, our aim is to take actions to protect our congregation, especially our at-risk population, and to be a comfort and support during this time.
These initial guidelines are taken from Governor Abbott’s executive order GA-18, issued on April 27, 2020 on religious services.
Hand sanitizer with be provided in the entrance. Please apply on entering the church and leaving. As always, wash hands frequently.
Say “Hello” instead of a handshake or hug. Maintaining good social distance (about six feet) is very important. Please keep at least 6 feet between you and fellow members.
Keep at least two empty seats (or six feet separation) between parties in any row, except as follows:
Two or more members of the same household can sit adjacent to one another, with two seats (or six feet separation) empty on either side
Two individuals who are not members of the same household but who are attending together can sit adjacent to one another, with two seats (or six feet separation) empty on either side
Alternate rows between attendees (every other row left empty)
CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask and want one, several ladies in the church are making some available. Make sure it covers your mouth and nose and wash after use in regular wash and dryer.
After service, a volunteer will wipe frequently touched objects such as door knobs, countertops, rails, pews, song books, etc.
Rather than passing the plate, Tithes & Offerings can be placed in the container at the back of the church. Members opting to remain at home can still mail in their tithes and offerings or deposit them directly to the bank in Moody.
For now, the only activities will be Sunday morning services and Wednesday evening Bible Study. All other activities such as Children’s Ministry, Nursery, Sunday evening service, Youth gatherings, Sunday School, Baptisms, Communion, and meal days will remain suspended as we devise means by which to reintroduce them with appropriate precautions.
If you are in a higher risk group, those who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes and feel more comfortable attending remotely for now, please do so.
We want to remind anyone with a cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or a new loss of taste or smell to please stay home.
These guidelines are ever changing. Please pray for our church and for us to all transition back to a normal in the next few months.
Liberty Hill Baptist Church is more than a building on a hill and gatherings. It is a family of people dedicated to following Christ, and dedicated to one another. We will be return to normal services and events soon enough. In the meantime, let’s be sure to keep one another close in our hearts.
Thank you, and God bless,
Pastor Marc

It’s Almost Here: One Week to Go!!
Our last OCC Shoebox packing party for this year is just one week away. Please pray for a successful packing party and for the children and families that will receive the boxes from our little church on the hill. Everyone works so hard to support this ministry reflecting God’s love. We are doing what he asked us to do:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. – Matthew 28:19-20
Each shoebox shares the love of Jesus, and each child has the opportunity to attend a 13-lesson course on discipleship. Children who participate in the program learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. As they do, entire families and communities are transformed by the power of the Gospel, and churches are started.
November 16-23 is Drop Off Week for OCC Shoeboxes and LHBC is an area drop off point. We need volunteers. There will be jobs for every level of expertise. Please come out and support this very important mission.
Liberty Hill now has the ability to stream services live over YouTube. This will allow us to be accessible to a wider audience than streaming over Facebook alone would previously allow.
While watching a service is never the same as being present, we want to offer you the opportunity to gather with your church family in spirit even if not in body.
We encourage our church family to continue to tithe and support our church. Anyone who wishes to may drop off their tithes at Moody Bank and specify it is tithes for the LHBC account or send checks to church address, 1155 Liberty Hill Rd, Moody, TX 76557
We begin the new year with a fresh look at the basics of the faith to encourage and empower us moving forward as we seek to follow Christ in the year to come.
Liberty Hill is hosted it’s 2nd annual Defending Your Faithconference and Q&A event on Saturday, November 2nd
We all encounter questions and doubts regarding the things we believe. When it comes to Christianity, because there are good answers to those questions, you can stand firm in your faith in Christ.
Video from the event is currently being edited. Once added, you can view the individual talks and Q&A below:
Eric Hernandez has a passion for defending his faith on theological and philosophical grounds. He is a licensed minister, a certified formation therapist and a former instructor of Magdiel Bible Institute. He is highly sought after for his expository ability and insight into apologetics. Eric has spoken and debated on a public level at university and college campuses where he adamantly and adequately defends the Christian faith against atheist, agnostic and deistic professors of different worldviews. He holds an associate degree in social science, a bachelor degree in theology and is currently working on his certificate in apologetics from Biola University. He runs Eric Hernandez Ministries which encompasses speaking engagements, apologetic seminars, weekend training courses, debates, blogs, articles and much more. He is married to Kendall Hernandez and they have one daughter, Adyson Grace.
Dylan likes coffee, theology, books, and of course beards. He is a husband, a father, an apologist, and most importantly a believer in Jesus and his gospel of grace. Dylan serves as a full time student-pastor in Waco, TX but also gets the opportunity to travel and speak to different groups about apologetics and evangelism. Dylan speak at DNOWs, conferences, stand-alones, and any other place someone will have him.
Marc is a graduate of Liberty University. He has served in youth and college ministry since 2002 on church staffs and college campuses. Marc answered the call to pastor at Liberty Hill Baptist Church in 2015 where he works to create an environment where people can feel welcome to wrestle through their questions and doubts while seeking answers. He hosts regular Q&A events at the church, and has spoken at conferences and on school campuses. He is married to his wife, Mollie, and they have three little girls.
In Luke 17-18 Jesus continues His explanation on the coming of the Kingdom and the judgment upon evil that it will bring. We also get a look at the patience God exhibits in delaying Christ’s reign and what we should be doing as we wait for His return.
