Pastor Judah, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matt encourage and build us up in this sermon entitled “Water then Fire”. We learned about the two judgements, one that came (water) and one that is yet to come (fire). As sons of the kingdom, we are to consider how we build, as the quality of each man’s work will be tested by the fire. We are called to build with the precious stones of the kingdom, holiness and godliness. By sacrificial servanthood, transparency and ever-increasing unity, we build with gold...

Pastor Payton and brother Adam Corra lead us in going “Rogue” with this captivating sermon. When Christ set us free from an empty way of life and slavery to the world, we turned our backs on this world’s system, choosing to refuse worldly success and pleasures. As we mature in the kingdom, we are required to ‘rogue’ the fields of our hearts, uprooting diseased and rotten plants, so that we can become more fruitful in the kingdom – and we cannot do it alone! We need our brothers to examine the fi...

For months now the Lord has been highlighting for us how he has always intended for his presence to be carried in a unified team. This has launched us into an all-out pursuit of perfect unity and is blessing our body in many ways. Brothers Carlos Rueda and Justin Treaster propel us even further into this pursuit by shining light on what we are unifying around in this message entitled “Supreme Purpose”. When our only desires are to please him, having our eyes set on what he wants to build, this i...

“Dig Down, Build Up!” delivered by brothers Caleb and Paul, encourage us that to achieve perfect unity in the body, it must be birthed out of relationships that are beyond the surface level. These relationships require us to dig down, to sacrifice, and to cultivate. Our relationships with one another serve as a solid foundation to build each other up, and ultimately, build up the house of God as a unified brotherhood. Just like the first century church in the book of Acts, the early believers sp...

“Pride Wars”, preached by Pastor Wade, Pastor Judah, and Pastor Matt, spur us on to the high calling that are ours in Christ. A bold call and mission to ensure that together we, the Church, are building up a wall of unbroken unity. This means caring for the needs and spiritual welfare of the brothers and families to our right and left, while driving out the things in our lives that intend to undermine, cut off, and separate us. As one body, we are to make every effort to keep in the unity of the...

We are living in exciting times! The Lord is increasing our teams, our team dependency, and our ability to carry the weightiness of God's presence together. We're growing in our boldness and our desire to carry this weight because of the growing acknowledgement that this weight is marking us. Brothers Spencer McClain, Abimbola Daramola, and Justin Linton remind us of a few of the ways our good father is placing his seal of ownership on us.

In this sermon entitled “Permanent Mark”, we learn that the weighty presence of the Lord is meant to leave a permanent mark on us, and the generations after us.

As we carry His presence ...

In this sermon entitled “Hey! You’re Not Carrying That Right!”, we learned from Pastor Nik, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matt that God’s original heavenly design is that we work in teams, and no amount of individual gifting, talents, or anointing can carry the weight of the call alone. The Levites worked together as a God-ordained team to carry the Ark of the Covenant. In the same way, we cannot complete the task alone, but are called to operate in a team. In working together, unity is forged, and Go...

At LCM, we are so...

We are growing, and learning what it is to move as one man. The forefathers who built this country knew how to move as one man, tearing down tyrannical dictatorships for the sole purpose of forming a more perfect union.

They encourage us to dethrone the monarchs of self-rule shown through deceptive pride, entitlement, and toxic independence in the same way they did! All for the purpose o...

Stand up! Look ahead! Our heavenly commander is preparing us for what is to come, helping us to reassign the fixed value we place on our brothers and ourselves. With this in mind, we are arming ourselves with the same attitude as Paul, Moses, and all the saints before us who knew who they were and as a result, did great exploits. Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade arm the saints with 4 keys to unlock the treasure that is walking in the fullness of our fixed value. When you know your value doesn't chang...

This soul stirring sermon delivered to us by brothers, Payton, Nik, and Judah, is the call to attention that we need. “Winning the War” is more than a sermon title, it is a principle that must be demonstrated in the way of life of every believer.

In this sermon “The Mission of a Priest”, Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade reveal and complete the last two points out of seven points based in Deuteronomy 33:8-10. We learned that priests are called to stand firm and teach others to the point of transformation and transmission; taking what they know and have experienced and making other men into what they are. This process solidifies the confidence that is ours and is how the body of Christ is built up until we all reach full maturity.

We learn that there is a weight of responsibility laid on our shoulders by our heavenly Father that brings about an ever-increasing development of the priesthood.

As we continue our "Mature Manhood" series with this second installment entitled "The Marks of a Priest", our confidence grows as we are fashioned into a mature priesthood. This is the same process we see God using to form Levi into the nation of priests that is described in Deuteronomy 33. As we continue to examine this passage, in addition to receiving discernment, being tested through tension, and judging impartially, the Levites were marked by watching over God's word and guarding his covena...

What a blessing it is to have directed steps! On Sunday we learned what it meant to follow our Big Kehunah! To ride the wave of obedience by guarding the mission or mishmeret of both our high priest and the people of God at the same time! This Wednesday we reflect of that message with the sermon “Hang 10” brought by Pastor Matt and Brother Abimbola Daramola. We learned to let all ten of our toes hang over the board! What that means is that we can have supreme confidence that we will be able to g...

In this sermon entitled “The Big Kehunnah” by Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade, we learned after undergoing the refinement process of what it takes to produce a priest from Numbers 8, the aim was always that the priests may be ready to do the work of the LORD! This type of work already prepared in advance demands that the priesthood guard the mission entrusted to them by the Lord. As this is true for the Levitical Priesthood, it is also true for us believers today. We are called to be priests, who ru...

Church! We conclude the outline of the Levitical process as displayed in Numbers 8 in this sermon entitled “Hey! Don’t cut my Prunes”. Elder Eric, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matt walk us through the beautiful imagery of the end goal of every believer; to reach mature manhood by measuring up to Christ.
