Welcome to Lequire Baptist Church! Lequire is a small town located at a crossroads in rural southeast Oklahoma where highways 31 and 82 come together. We are nestled between McAlister to the west and Fort Smith to the east and Stigler to the North and Red Oak to the south. The pace of life is a little slower. There is no Wal-Mart, hospital, drug store or convenient store. Just a post office, a church and a piece of road that connects two highways. But, I think, it is that piece of road that is the most important. As mentioned earlier, it’s a crossroad, a connection.
It represents life. At some time or another, you are going to come to a crossroad in your life. A road that will take you somewhere, somewhere you want to go, don’t want to go or you are trying to keep from going. The wonderful thing about LBC is that it sits right on the highway. You cannot go from one highway to another without passing by the church. God is like that, too. As you come to that crossroad and must make a decision on which way to go, God is right there. You cannot get from one place to another without passing by him.
Sometimes we follow the signs on the roads and get to the corner and go the way to our destination. Or, we just overlook, miss or deliberately go past the signs and end up somewhere we did not intend. With, God, He has put signs along the way to direct us, His church being one of them. The question then is do we follow and get to our destination or go our own way and get lost or miss our intended destination.
There is a sign out front of the church, just off the highway(s) pointing us out. Why not stop in and get some direction from God from worshiping through song, prayer and listening to His word preached. We would love to have for a visit!
