Hello, Friends In Hebrew the name Bethel means, "House of God". This message, originally delivered on 9-03-08, examines the circumstances in which God is shown to dwell with you. Distress is something that we all naturally try to avoid, but it may be the very thing that allows others to see that the King dwells in us. As you hear about the ancient patriarch Jacob and the young Jewish Apostle Nathanael, we pray that your life is positively affected for the Kingdom. LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends Among the trees found in Israel, the Sycamore Fig tree is unique. The fruit that it produces is covered in a protective shell. In order for the fruit to be edible it must have a circular incision made at one end of each fig. This message, originally delivered on 8-31-08, covers the progression of teachings in Luke 18 and 19 to illustrate important keys to growth in the Kingdom. We pray that you are blessed by what you learn. LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends One of the greatest Hebrew Rabbis once said, "My humiliation is my exaltation and my exaltation is my humiliation". This profound statement is echoed in the teachings of Christianity. This message originally delivered on 8-27-08 focuses on humbling events being the preparation for greatness in the Kingdom of God. We pray that this message gives you insight into the workings of God and blesses your life. LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends In the age of telephones, internet, emails, faxes, texts, ichats, and high definition broadcasts it would be easy to over look the beautiful simplicity with which God expresses Himself through the Hebrew language. The language of the Jews utilizes intelligent visual ways to communicate. The Hebrew world is viewed in concrete terms that can be tasted, smelled, touched, or heard. This message will explore the primary differences between the Greeks who viewed God through the mind and...

Hello, Friends This message was originally delivered on 07-27-08 and it dealt primarily with God's ability to provide what we need before we know that we need it.

Hello, Friends Hebrew like many languages continues to evolve. All actively spoken languages by necessity are expanding as new items are invented or species are discovered. While the Hebrews of Biblical times had no word for glue, the Hebrew language today borrows a word from the Biblical text to become the word for glue. This word is DABAQ. The message "Coming Unglued" draws its inspiration from the many uses of the Hebrew word DABAQ contained in the scriptures starting with Genesis 2:24. We pr...

Hello, Friends Have you ever considered having your ear pierced with an awl? Don't get the wrong idea! We are not encouraging a new teenage fad. There is an ancient custom found in the Hebrew Scriptures regarding a servant who does not want to leave his master's service even when he is free to do so. This message exhorts believers to excel in acts prompted by love rather than a sense of obligation. The LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends In the Bible a yoke may represent different things. The term yoke most obviously applies to a device used to shackle animals together, but this was not the only meaning in Biblical times. Rabbis referred to the Kingdom of God as a yoke and many people referred to a particular Rabbis' teaching as his yoke. This message takes a deeper look at what it means to be yoked to the Kingdom of God. We pray that you are blessed by what you hear. The LCMF Staff

Hello, Friends Righteous among the Nations (Hebrew: Chassidey Umot HaOlam ) The Hebrew term Chassidey Umot HaOlam is used by the State of Israel to describe non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust in order to save Jews from extermination by the Nazis. The secular award has often been translated into English as "Righteous Gentile". This message shares insight gleaned from the story of Irena Sendler who was instrumental in saving over 2500 Jewish children from certain death. Please li...

Hello, Friends What a blessing this message was! Mandy Wakefield was among the first to join us for the purpose of founding a ministry in Texas. God's working in her life has not been without effect. This message largely deals with the perspective that the Holy Spirit has given her regarding the pleasant and not so pleasant events in her life. 16 minutes and 28 seconds into her message the electrical power went out in our church but the message picks right back up with only a minor subject chang...

Hello, Friends The Holy Scriptures contain 261 direct references to God as our Father. However, when you look carefully at the context of each Scripture, it is obvious that a monumental change in man's relationship to God occurred in the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus). The Tenach (39 books of the Older Testament) only refers to God as "Father" 9 times. Of those nine occurrences, 7 are spoken of as a future event and the remaining 2 are in the generic sense of "Father" as in "Creator". When comparing...

Hello, Friends This message was delivered on a Sunday Morning. Tikkun Olam is an ancient Hebrew expression meaning "repairing the world". This message begins in Genesis and works its way all the way through the teachings of Jesus to show both the Hebraic roots of Jesus' teaching and the practical ways in which we can participate in mans' original calling. Please listen, carefully, as this message challenges many of the commonly held teachings of the modern Church. We pray that you are blessed by...

Although it is brief at only 30 minutes, the message contains some compelling information regarding what Jesus is capable of doing in your life.

Hello, Friends This message was delivered on a Sunday Morning. The primary scriptural text is Samuel 5. The message largely deals with the enemies desire to ravage your life, pressure you into assimilation or completely eradicate you. The Hebrew names for the towns mentioned in this 3000 year old account of the traveling of the Ark of God tell a compelling story in and of themselves. We encourage you to listen to the effect that the presence of God has on every problem faced by the people of God...

Hello, Friends This message was delivered on a Wednesday evening. The nature of the message is largely corrective. Most ministries would not allow this message to be available for public consumption.

Hello, Friends While watching a respected television program that featured a "scholar" from Princeton University, I had a moment of clarity regarding the need for understanding in the area of Hebraic roots. The supposed scholar and professor of religious studies claimed that Jesus was illiterate and that He never claimed divinity. She argued her point from literature relating to the "Greek" early church fathers and their councils. Her contention is obviously absurd, but it illustrates the need f...

Hello, Friends This message is brief because it was a Wednesday night but the information in it is thought provoking. Sh'elah is a Hebrew word that means to ask questions. The context usually implies that the questions are about God's Word and that answers will be given. The educational system of ancient Israel featured Sh'elah as a Jewish style of learning. The concept featured parents, who had presumably matured through experiences with God, carrying out peculiar ceremonies so that it would pr...

These messages were given over both Sunday and Wednesday services, so they range in length from 45 minutes to over an hour. While they all cover different ground the heart of all three is a practical rather than sensational approach to spiritual warfare. We pray that you are enriched by what you hear...
