Sons of Issachar Lectures
In 1 Chronicles 12:32 we read about the sons of Issachar who had gathered with other men to serve in David's army. The sons of Issachar were men "who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do...." LCS offers the following lectures in an effort to provide much needed Biblical perspective on the difficult and pressing issues of our day. Developing a Biblical world and life view is absolutely essential for every believer, and it is our hope that these lectures will be a great help to you in this important area of discipleship.

Side B Christianity - Revoice's SSA Biblically Considered
The LGBTQ+ movement has aggressively sought to erode Biblical views of gender, marriage, and family in its effort to gain cultural accommodation. Far more than seeking political equality, this agenda actually desires a normative status in society, including the Christian Church. To effectively respond, Christians must have a firm understanding of Biblical truth concerning the issues of gender, marriage, and sex. In this exclusive TNARS/LCS lecture, Rev. Steven Warhurst shares his insights on Overture 28, the Overture which he courageously presented and ably defended before the floor of the 2019 PCA General Assembly.

The New Liberalism - Laying the Axe to the Root
A progressive agenda is making headway in government, politics, and social order. How are we to understand this way of thinking, and more importantly, how should we as Christians respond to this rival philosophy as it seeks to undermine the very foundations of Western Civilization? In this lecture, pastor-scholar and LCS mentor, Dr. Andy Underhile, traces the philosophical development of this progressive system of thought, exposes its corrupting influences, and provides a plan for the church to faithfully respond and confront this growing evil.

Christianity and Civil Liberty
The Covid-19 Pandemic has renewed discussions of the role and power of civil magistrates. There are even escalating concerns that many government entities have assumed a more tyrannical stance to resolve the issue, setting a dangerous precedent for continued abuses in the future. What is the Christian's duty as a citizen, and how should Christians respond to tyrannical leadership? In this lecture, Dr. Tim Goad, LCS Oversight Board member, mentor, and alumnus provides much needed Biblical perspective on the challenges of tyrannical trends and encourages believers to carefully distinguish between their rights as citizens of Heaven and their rights as citizens of the state.

The end of Roe v. Wade was a hard fought and even unexpected victory for the Pro-Life movement, but the battle for the sanctity of life is far from over. The rise of Secular Humanism over the past century has created a culture where life is of little worth. Of all the world religions/worldviews, only Christianity has the inherent framework of values that can authoritatively address the issue of life in the womb. In this lecture, Rev. Andrew Dionne, President of New Geneva Academy, exposes the deception of the abortion industry, and challenges the church to faithfully continue the fight for the sanctify of life.
