This was truly an eye opening message preached by brothers Justin Treaster and Carlos Rueda. As the sermon was entitled "Lavish Reception", we learned that Peter during his time of faithful service on Earth was looking forward to the time Jesus would receive him into his kingdom. Jesus is way by which we will enter into the kingdom. He is the bodily representation of God the father in a way that we can see and follow. When Peter looked back at Jesus's life, he saw 7 progressive qualities that Je...

Pastor Nik, Pastor Judah, and Brother Treaster brought a powerful word entitled “Effective Yield”. We were called to a hope and to know intimately the one to which we hope. We were confronted with the way we project an anthropomorphic view of man, which is re imaging the divine nature of God down to human qualities, characteristics, and weaknesses. This anthropomorphic view shows up whenever we champion one attribute of God over another as though they were in opposition. This solution to our ant...

Although made in the warrior and shepherd image of our King, we find other behaviors and tendencies that resist the Holy Masculine image given to us by our Father. Our brothers (Gabriel and Abimbola) helped us confront the chief of these behaviors and tendencies, by sharing out of their own personal wrestling’s. From there, they inspired us on how to rise up as the men of God we are called to be. Listen now to “The Answer to Everything”.

A clarion call has been sounded and we are marching forward in the direction set by our King! In the sermon “Attractive Opposites”, Pastor Matthew and Pastor Wade helped us see that there is no contrast between being a great warrior and a great shepherd. In fact, both are complementary and essential to each other. This is exactly who our great King is, and we are created in His image. He is the answer to every problem and when we are like Him in this way, we are the answer to every problem. Holy...

The eyes are the lamp of the body and where our eyes are, there will be the entirety of our focus. Through the word and the spirit, our gaze is being directed towards the ark of God's presence with diligent and consistent intention. It is only when our eyes drift away from his presence that we are enticed by sin, looking to manipulate the light of God instead of thrive in it. Praise God that he sent his son to spark a passion and fire for the presence of God in us so that we would always have th...

What a tremendous gift we experienced this morning. Both Pastors Judah and Nik delivered an honest, challenging, and uplifting word in this sermon entitled “Call to Kingship”. Using the devotion and heart of King David to serve as a model example for us, we are to fix our eyes upon our King and do away with all other suitors and distractions. Our King is on a high mountain, and He is the only one that we must have eyes for. Let us renew our love and desire for him because He has called us to Kin...

In all our time serving the Lord, there is one thing we can all agree on. The Lord is faithful! He has been faithful to hold on to us, faithful to break our bones, and faithful to heal us afterwards. This facet of his character could not be meditated on too much. As we reflected on Sunday's message "The Heart of Asaph" and the propensity of our hearts to decline, we were moved to thankfulness and gratefulness by his ability to give strength to all. This, we learned, is what inspired David to pen...

The manifest presence of our King is with us, and he is drawing us to himself by cutting away what does not belong in our lives! As men and women called to walk in integrity with no hidden areas of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves doing what is right without having the right heart posture that the King desires from us. Through the life of Asaph and his written Psalms, we learned about the inner wrestling that leads us to a place where we have a foolish heart, a futile heart, and a heart th...

During a time in our churches history where the body is building itself up and more capable ministers are being raised up, we feel the Lord's approval. Along with that approval, we can also plainly see that he is calling for more fruit from our lives which in turn means more discipline. What is coming into focus isn't our deeds or the things we've done, but it is our 1st love that is being challenged. How easily can we performs tasks for the Lord or even for our brothers, but it not be based on ...

Jesus said that all men will know we are really his disciples by the love we show toward one another. “Jewel School” preached by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade stirred us to reflect the Oneness of our good Father in the plural unity that we are to have as the body of Christ. We were challenged today to examine the idolatry of self that shows up in the areas of our lives where we are willfully using our brothers to our advantage, devaluing their fixed value, and abusing the authority given to us towa...

We as the body of Christ are learning to operate in the priestly garments that we have been given. We're growing into them as complete the righteous deeds laid before us to accomplish. We are being strengthened in our duties as we are impacted by the revelation that our father has a memorial of us on our brothers shoulders and we can be reminded of our identity as we look at our brothers who are also wearing their ephod. The fact that they clothe us with our identity brings unity and the necessi...

“Family Jewels” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Judah, and Brother Gabe Stephens was a fresh look through the biblical lens of what it is to believe in what the Lord says through His word about us and about our brothers. We learned that we are to go up the mountain and be with the Lord in order to get revelation about our identity. Then turn and be empowered to see our brothers according to what the Lord says about them, so that we can spur them on in their identity and calling. Like Aaron we are...

When we consider what Moses did for Aaron by exalting him above Moses' own calling and what Jesus did for his disciple, it causes us to wrestle. It causes us to wrestle by bringing to mind all that has been done for us. Like Moses, like Jesus, and like Isaiah, men went up on a high mountain to meet with the Lord, be transformed by him, and they came down with something for us. We began to reflect on all that has been done for us and we came to the conclusion that we could never "Earn This", and ...

The Body of Christ is building itself up in love here at LCM! We are increasing in transparency, our identity, and sacrificial actions towards one another. Through the relationship between Moses and Aaron, we learned that the highest achievement we can aim for is to elevate our brothers calling above our own. We do this by cultivating an intentional unity with our brothers. Looking to do what is in the best interest of them and free from any selfish ambition. This intention unity is a biblical t...

We are being formed and shaped into the likeness of our warrior groom more and more with the passing of each day. He has been faithful from the very beginning of this process. It started with him shedding his precious blood to purchase us, it continues even now as he refines us, and as he empowers us to go and do the same for others. Having a revelation of the fact that he purchased us, and that he is sanctifying us to present himself spotless, and pure must drive us on to reflect him in our dee...

“Purchased for God”, delivered by Pastors Judah, Matt, and Wade is the word that is needed for our day and time. Every man and every woman has an original design given to them from God. A design that was initially corrupted by sin but through the consecration process of the blood of Jesus, we who have chosen to follow him are awakening to who we were always designed to be. A people that are Holy, Free, and Powerful. This revelation is what the world needs. Men and women walking in their original...

How extraordinary was this morning! This is a sermon that you will want to listen to multiple times over. “Enough is Enough” is the conquering Spirit of God that is rising inside of us as we face the taunts of the enemy. We are no longer going to reason with these taunts. No longer going to internalize them. Rather, we are going to speak the truth of God's word and walk out boldly in full view of our adversaries. Pastor Nik, Pastor Payton, and Brother Treaster exemplified this attitude and inspi...

Everyone who is made in the image of God and has submitted their lives to him are called to be "Men of War". Completely pliable for the will and purposes of God, wholly defiant, hardened, and obstinate to the things of the world and the enemies schemes. We are like him on this earth. How we walk this out practically is by acknowledging the taunts of the enemy, pressing forward in his presence, laying it out before the Lord, and then only committing ourselves to his direction. In that way he stre...

What a great morning and a special time are having! “In the Fathers Image” preached by Brother Carlos, Pastor Judah, and Pastor Nik helped to drive home the spiritual reality, attitude, and heart that we are supposed to walk in. The reality that we have been made according to our great King's character and image. Our King is a man of war! A God who delivers his people and raises men from the ash heap to exalts them to a princely status. He has gone ahead us and has broken down the barriers in ou...

Momentum is building in the house of God! We were blessed to hear a word from Elder Eric and Brother Luke this morning. “Three Judges” spoke to the need for how proper biblical discipleship is supposed to take form and shape. This is for the purpose of lasting through the generations after we are gone. Using the lives of men like Othniel, we were able to see the opportunities that were given to him to rise up in the same conquering spirit of the men of God who went before him. The kingdom goal i...
