Caleb Brown and Daniel Smith encourage the Body of Believers at LCM with this message entitled, Black and White. When we live in a way that removes all grey areas...when we live as hot or cold, black or white, we are able to have a life of distinction. This kind of life allows us clarity in our thoughts and gives fruit in our actions. We must let the Word come alive in us so that we can be the letters from Christ & the living representations of the Word! Learn to live in Black and White!

Pastor Matthew and Pastor Wade continue our Master Ship Builder series with this sermon on Fellow"ship". One of the foundational principles that we learn from Acts 2:42 is to be devoted to the Apostles' doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer. Our pastors challenge us with not only the necessity of fellowship but with the Biblical benefits of fellowship. The power and benefit of fellowship cannot be understated. Fellowship for the believer is like the sail of a great ship. We must lea...

Carlos Rueda delivers a passionate message entitled, "Like Father, Like Children." From the beginning, we have been made to be in the image and likeness of God, our Father. This is not just in appearance, but in our works, our lives, and our heart. Jesus clearly demonstrates that the Kingdom is designed to allow our works to testify of who our real Father is! 1 John 3 tells us that if we practice righteousness and love our brothers we are truly children of God. Our problem is that we allow many ...

Pastor Matthew and Pastor Wade begin a new series entitled, "Master Ship Builder." Our society declares people to be "masters" for many reasons, but the Word of God teaches us a very different process to become a master builder. Our pastors eloquently teach us how to grow in our craftsman"ship"! Becoming a master ship builder is not a quick process. Noah may not have been a master ship builder when he started the ark, but he surely was one upon its completion. The transformation to a master buil...

Abimbola Daramola and Justin Linton share this convicting sermon entitled, "The Inside Man - The Power to Choose". These two powerful men of God demand a new perspective on how we view our sinful nature! We must no longer allow there to be an "inside man" working with the adversary. We must recognize the enemy within and separate its influence through the power of the Word and of the Holy Spirit! Make every punch count in this battle. Let the power of Jesus Christ help you to overcome today!

The life of obedience, perseverance, and endurance repeatedly lived day after day over the course of a lifetime will allow us to receive the victors crown! We are guaranteed victory in 1 John 5 with the promise that, "everyone born of God overcomes the world"! We must learn to obey God's commands and then "just do it again". Make your life a crown in the hand of the LORD and wa...

Payton Parsons and Justin Treaster team up to demand that every believer cry out, "Medic"! The attitude of a combat medic is one that finds the injured, ignoring immediate and personal peril, to bring healing. We must leave the trenches to bind up wounds and do the difficult work of restoration. Let this sermon challenge you to evaluate which part of your sinful nature is preventing you from becoming one who can deliver life-giving help or one who can receive the help you need! Leave your trench...

Pastor Wade and Pastor Eric continue our Band of Survivors series with this powerful sermon entitled, "Band of the Restored". Restoration is one of the most central themes in scripture and should be the goal of each interaction that a believer engages in. Moses teaches us in Exodus 34 that we must take our acts of obedience and repentance up on the mountain and that God will be faithful to come down, bring restoration, and reveal His very nature and character to us!! What a beautiful model for u...

How closely are your thoughts and motives aligned with God's Will? Kris, Ibrahim, and Rob take what the LORD is doing in them and challenge our church to make sure that the plans of each heart, every motive, and the commitment of each person is weighed against the Word of God. It is far too easy to be like Lot, who made his own evaluation of God's Will based on what he saw with his own eyes. It is also easy to hold our own resources, saving them for a later time...but is God demanding that we po...

Pastor Eric & Judah Stephens deliver a gripping sermon entitled "Double Edged Family Sword". As a believer, you are a priest of the most high God. One of the first tools a priest must learn to wield is the sword! Many times, the first place that the sword (aka God's Word) begins to impact is our own hearts and our interactions with our families. Far too many people say that they have full allegiance to God's Word above all else...that is until it conflicts with their own expectations or desi...

The pastors take us to the northern most point in Israel, Mount Hermon in this 7th and final sermon of our Israel focused series. It is there at Hermon that Jesus takes a small group of disciples and reveals His glorious nature through the transfiguration. Like Moses whose transfigured face reflected the glory of God...Like Elijah who ate the bread of heaven and ran in supernatural strength...Like Jacob who wrestled and received a new identity from heaven... Like Stephen whose transfigured face ...

The day after Christmas in many countries is known as Boxing Day. A day where servants could expect to receive a box of gifts.

Let these Godly men stir your soul to action! Our God has personally created gifts for you. Don't limit yourself by letting the past or your own perspective of what g...

Diligence must be seen in how you lead your own family, how you build your relationships, and how you engage with your community and workplace.

Pastor Eric, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade continue our Israel-centric sermons with this message entitled, Negotiating Caesarea Philippi. We learn from Israeli men Caleb, Daniel, Abraham, and Peter how to build our lives upon deep convictions.

This message will help you learn how to overcome the pattern and influence...

Caleb Brown shares this sermon entitled "The 40 year Shortcut". Caleb uses a pattern from the life of Moses to help us identify and address our own defective ambitions. Moses had a desire to serve, a pedigree to lead, and a call and drive to liberate God's people. Even with all of this, Moses still had to learn to experience a death sentence become life, how to transform an end into a beginning, and how roadblocks can become shortcuts. Let your heart be challenged by this sermon.

On this, the first day of the Jewish Festival of Hanukkah, our three pastors continue with our Israel-centric messages. God has always confirmed His presence to mankind through fire! In His covenant with Abraham, God revealed Himself as a smoking firepot and a blazing torch. In Exodus, He is the fire in the burning bush and the fire on Mount Sinai. He is a fire consuming offerings on the altar with the Priests and a pillar of fire that leads Israel through the desert. In Deuteronomy, He is the G...

Curtis shares from the core of what the LORD has been stirring in him--namely to help people come to their senses and escape the trap of the devil! Each of us have veils across our eyes that we must allow the Word and the Spirit to remove! Whether we are fighting with spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12), the world around us, or our flesh, we must allow the truth of God's Word and our obedience to Christ to allow us to see clearly.

Pastor Wade, Pastor Matthew, and Pastor Eric deliver a well-timed word aimed at the maturity of each person. By using the importance and centrality of Israel, it's geography, history, and people, the pastors help to identify and crush the assumptions we each possess. Our embedded assumptions are what cause us to add to or edit God's words. The longer we hold to these assumptions, the more invested we become and the more difficult it is for us to hear from God and obey! The maturity needed to dis...
