Warm, wood-toned church pews with hymnals and the words Back Pew Society — There’s always room for one more.

Latest from our socials

Inspired by the message shared on Lafayette Baptist Church’s official YouTube channel.

An open Bible beside a quiet cup, suggesting a thoughtful pause

The Berean Pause

Before you repeat a headline, defend an opinion, or forward a rumor this weekend, try the habit Acts 17 praises:

  • Listen with humility.
  • Check carefully.
  • Return to what is true.
  • Respond with honesty and grace.

The Bereans were eager, but they were not gullible. They were careful, but they were not closed. That is a sturdy combination for Bible study—and for everyday life.

Where do you need a Berean pause this weekend?

There’s always room for one more.

An inviting open pew with space for one more person

There’s Room This Sunday

Walking into a church for the first time can feel like entering a room where everybody else already knows what to do. A little practical information can make that first step easier.

Morning worship begins at 9:30 AM, followed by Bible study for all ages at 10:45 AM. Nursery care is available, and guest parking is near the main entrance.

Two open Bibles representing the different responses in Thessalonica and Berea

Two Towns, Two Responses

Acts 17 moves from Thessalonica to Berea. In both places, Paul points people to Jesus from the Scriptures—but Luke shows two very different responses.

The Bereans received the message eagerly and searched the Scriptures every day. Readiness and examination are not enemies. A thoughtful faith can be both teachable and careful.

Which do you need more of right now—an open heart or a closer look at the text?

Read Acts 17:1–15 and revisit the service
