For reference, we are about 1/2 a mile south of Leonard on U.S. Highway 69. The building sits on the west side of the highway between Leonard and Celeste. We are a congregation of the Lord's church as described in the Bible. Our desire is to follow the pattern of the New Testament church and maintained by inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Our sole authority in matters of faith and practice is found in its pages.      The Bible teaches that sin is a transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4). All people who know the difference between right and wrong have sinned (Romans 3:23). Our sins separate us from God (Isaiah 59:1-2). The punishment for sin is death (Romans 6:23). This is “the second death” which is “the lake that burns with fire” (Revelation 21:8).    God loves us. He does not want us to be punished for our sins. Therefore, He has provided a way for us to be forgiven (John 3:16). God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins (1 John 4:10). Jesus suffered the punishment which we should have received for our sins (Isaiah 53:4-6). He did not die for His own sins, for He had none (2 Corinthians 5:21). He suffered for our sins on the cross so that we can be forgiven (Romans 5:6-8; 1 Peter 2:24). In order for us to be forgiven of our sins, and therefore receive eternal life, we must accept the salvation which Christ has made possible. There are five steps which we must take to receive this salvation.  Download the full document here:  [Gods\_Plan\_for\_Salvation.pdf](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cloversites.com/95/95903e8b-be37-4db9-87ca-4a0e497785e9/documents/Gods_Plan_for_Salvation.pdf) First, we must hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). A person is not a Christian simply because his or her parents were. Faith cannot be inherited (Ezekiel 18:20). Each person must believe in Jesus Christ for himself. Christianity is a religion of teaching (Matthew 28:19, 20). Unless one has heard the Gospel and learned that Jesus Christ died for his sins, was buried, and arose from the dead, he cannot be saved (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The apostle Paul wrote: “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14) One must first hear the Gospel before he can believe it. Second, one must believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16). Jesus said: “...except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:24). The jailer at Philippi asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They told him to “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:30-31). Jesus also said: “He that believes and is baptized will be saved; but whoever does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16). One comes to believe in Jesus Christ when he hears the Gospel taught. Faith comes only by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This is the reason it is so important that the Gospel be preached to the whole world (Mark 16:15).   Third, one must repent of his sins in order to be saved (Acts 17:30-31). Jesus commanded that “repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem” (Luke 24:47). Repentance is a result of being sorry for one’s sins (2 Corinthians 7:10). When the Jews on Pentecost Day learned from Peter that they had crucified the Son of God, they “were cut to the heart” (Acts 2:37). They wanted to be forgiven of their sins, so they asked, “What shall we do?” They were told “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins...” (Acts 2:37-38). When one repents, he turns away from his sins (1 Thessalonians 1:9). He shows he has repented by doing good works (Matthew 3:8).   Fourth, one must confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16). This great truth is the very foundation upon which the church of Christ is built (Matthew 16:18; Acts 4:11, 12; 1 Corinthians 3:11). Jesus said that we must be willing to confess Him before men if we want Him to confess us before the Father (Matthew 10:32-33). The apostle Paul wrote: “But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, that we proclaim: because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:8-10). When Philip preached Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch, the eunuch asked, “what prevents me from being baptized?” Philip told him he could be baptized if he believed. The eunuch then confessed, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” (Acts 8:35-38; some versions have verse 37 in the margin). We must make this important, yet simple confession in order to be saved.   Fifth, one must be baptized to be saved. Jesus said: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16). Baptism *follows* belief. Someone who does not believe the Gospel cannot be truly baptized.  Baptism is a burial in water and participation in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (Romans 6:3, 4; Colossians 2:12). Baptism is required to be saved (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21) and someone is not saved before he is baptized. Baptism is “for the forgiveness of your sins” (Acts 2:38). Just as Jesus shed His blood for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:28), so we are baptized in order to receive the forgiveness of sins. In baptism, the sinner’s sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus (Acts 22:16).   When someone follows these steps, the Lord adds them to His church (Acts 2:41, 47). They are born again (John 3:3-5; 2 Corinthians 5:17). They are in Christ, wherein are all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:26, 27). In short, they are a Christian (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). This is just the beginning of the journey to become Christlike. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded that the good news of salvation be taught to everyone (Matthew 28:19, 20). We are called to be and to make disciples of all who are willing. A Disciple is a follower of Jesus, an apprentice, or a student. For the remainder of our lives we are being transformed, with God’s help, into the image of His son (Romans 12:1-2). **Are you saved from your sins? Have you taken these simple steps to salvation? If not, allow us to help you start today!** - [2026 VBS](/2026-vbs) - [Who We Are](/who-we-are) - [Bible Study](/bible-study) - [Sermons](/sermons) - [Audio Only](/audio-only) - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery) - [2026 VBS](/2026-vbs) - [Who We Are](/who-we-are) - [Bible Study](/bible-study) - [Sermons](/sermons) - [Audio Only](/audio-only) - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery) --- ## URL: https://www.leonardchurch.com/about-us ### Title: About Us ### Page ID: 7586741 ### Content: PDF version of the statements below with scripture text added.  [WE\_BELIEVE\_outline.pdf](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cloversites.com/95/95903e8b-be37-4db9-87ca-4a0e497785e9/documents/WE_BELIEVE_outline.pdf) PDF version of a tri-fold quick Bible reference - print two sided.  [Quick\_Bible\_Reference\_tri-fold.pdf](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cloversites.com/95/95903e8b-be37-4db9-87ca-4a0e497785e9/documents/Quick_Bible_Reference_tri-fold.pdf) We believe God is all knowing, all powerful, always present, and the reason for all we do. We believe the Bible is God's inspired word and that, through the study and application of it, we have everything we need for daily living and Godliness.  We believe Jesus is God's one and only son and through faith in Him and obedience of Him comes eternal life.      We believe that baptism, by immersion, is a participation in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is essential for salvation.  We believe the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a gift received at the time of our baptism. We believe acceptable worship is a celebration following the pattern of the New Testament (prayer, singing, communion, preaching / teaching, giving) and begins with a transformed life. We believe that without faith it is impossible to please God. We believe that all families will be successful if the primary focus of each family member is a personal commitment to follow Jesus and apply God’s word. We believe in unity based on one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God. We believe that the blessings of Jesus are not for us alone and it is our duty to share the Gospel with others.    *Job 28:28 --*  *"Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding."  (ESV)*  - [Home](/ "Home") - [About Us](/about-us "About Us") - [Bible Study](/bible-study "Bible Study") - [Sermons](/sermons "Sermons") - [Audio Only](/audio-only "Audio Only") - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery "Celebrate Recovery") - [Who We Are](/who-we-are "Who We Are") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Connect](/connect "Connect") - [Home](/ "Home") - [About Us](/about-us "About Us") - [Bible Study](/bible-study "Bible Study") - [Sermons](/sermons "Sermons") - [Audio Only](/audio-only "Audio Only") - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery "Celebrate Recovery") - [Who We Are](/who-we-are "Who We Are") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Connect](/connect "Connect") --- ## URL: https://www.leonardchurch.com/bible-study ### Title: Bible Study ### Page ID: 7586742 ### Content: #### [DBS - Lesson 25 - 1 Kings 12:25–33](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-25-1-kings-122533) ###### Date: Jun 27, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 24 - Ecclesiastes 11:1–6; 12:13-14](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-24-ecclesiastes-1116-1213-14) ###### Date: Jun 23, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 23 - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 14-15](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-23-ecclesiastes-31-8-14-15) ###### Date: Jun 20, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 22 - 2 Chronicles 7:11–22](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-22-2-chronicles-71122) ###### Date: Jun 17, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 21 - Proverbs 6:12-19](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-21-proverbs-612-19) ###### Date: Jun 13, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 20 - Proverbs 3:1-18](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-20-proverbs-31-18) ###### Date: Jun 09, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 19 - Proverbs 1:1-19](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-19-proverbs-11-19) ###### Date: Jun 06, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 18 - 2 Samuel 24 & 1 Chronicles 21](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-18-2-samuel-24-1-chronicles-21) ###### Date: Jun 03, 2020 #### [DBS - Lesson 17 - Psalm 139](/sermon-detail?mc-slug=dbs-lesson-17-psalm-139) ###### Date: May 31, 2020 The Discovery Bible Study method is a simple approach to  investigating what the Bible has to say to each of us.  These studies are useful for both beginning or advanced Bible Students.   Please be sure to watch the Overview video first as this will explain the approach and how I've adapted it for our use.  Like all Bible study you will get out of it in proportion to what you are willing to invest.  Please use these for both personal study or as discussion starters for small groups.    Questions can be sent to [biblestudy@leonardchurch.com](mailto:biblestudy@leonardchurch.com) The following Bible Study courses are a good introduction to God's word and the church of Christ.

We meet together weekly for a time of praise and learning and then break off into small groups for a time of sharing and discussion, followed by some refreshments and fellowship. **R**ealize I’m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable.  **E**arnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that he has the power to help me recover. **C**onsciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ’s care and control. **O**penly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.  **V**oluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.  **E**valuate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, **R**eserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. **Y**ield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. We made a decision to turn our wills and our lives over to the care of God. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs. The following five guidelines will ensure that your small group is a safe place.   1\. Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Not your spouse’s, someone you’re dating, or your family members’ hurts and hang-ups, but your own. Focusing on yourself will benefit your recovery as well as the ones around you. Stick to “I” or “me” statements, not “you” or “we” statements.  Limit your sharing to three to five minutes, so everyone has an opportunity to share — and to ensure that one person does not dominate the group sharing time. 2\. There is NO cross-talk. Cross-talk is when two people engage in conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.  Cross-talk is also making distracting comments or questions while someone is sharing. This includes speaking to another member of the group while someone is sharing, or responding to what someone has shared during his or her time of sharing. 3\. We are here to support one another, not “fix” one another. This keeps us focused on our own issues.  We do not give advice or solve someone’s problem in our time of sharing or offer book referrals or counselor referrals!  We are not licensed counselors, psychologists, or therapists, nor are the group members. Celebrate Recovery groups are not designed for this. It is up to the participants to include outside counseling to their program when they’re ready. 4\. Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.  We are not to share information with our spouses/family/co-workers. This also means not discussing what is shared in the group among group members. This is called gossip.  Please be advised, if anyone threatens to hurt themselves or others, the Small Group Leader has the responsibility to report it to the Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader. 5\. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.  Therefore, we ask that you please watch your language. The main issue here is that the Lord’s name is not used inappropriately.  We also avoid graphic descriptions. If anyone feels uncomfortable with how explicitly a speaker is sharing regarding his/her behaviors, then you may indicate so by simply raising your hand. The speaker will then respect your boundaries by being less specific in his/her descriptions. This will avoid potential triggers that could cause a person to act out. *Job 28:28 --*  *"Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding."  (ESV)*  - [Home](/ "Home") - [About Us](/about-us "About Us") - [Bible Study](/bible-study "Bible Study") - [Sermons](/sermons "Sermons") - [Audio Only](/audio-only "Audio Only") - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery "Celebrate Recovery") - [Who We Are](/who-we-are "Who We Are") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Connect](/connect "Connect") - [Home](/ "Home") - [About Us](/about-us "About Us") - [Bible Study](/bible-study "Bible Study") - [Sermons](/sermons "Sermons") - [Audio Only](/audio-only "Audio Only") - [Celebrate Recovery](/celebrate-recovery "Celebrate Recovery") - [Who We Are](/who-we-are "Who We Are") - [Our Mission](/our-mission "Our Mission") - [Connect](/connect "Connect") --- ## URL: https://www.leonardchurch.com/sermon-detail ### Title: Sermon Detail ### Page ID: 7586749 ### Content: ## A Priest Forever ###### Date: May 31, 2026 ###### Category: Sermons ###### Series: Who Do Men Say I Am: The Identity of Jesus ###### Speaker: Kyle Elliott ###### Passages: [The Letter to the Hebrews Hebrews 4:14-16](https://cloud.bible/ESV/the-letter-to-the-hebrews/Hebrews 4/14-16) The Video could not be played.
