What a beautiful thing the Lord is doing in our midst! “The Devastation of a Nation” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade, walk us through the biblically mature view of how we are to respond during the devastation. Through the lives of men of God like Moses, Habakkuk, and Jeremiah who chose to be joyful, to rejoice, to praise the name of the Lord while standing inside difficulty, we are called to walk in and imitate this same faith. It is in the midst of the devastation, difficult circumstanc...

Powerful. Cutting. Effective. This message shared by Pastor Payton Parsons accomplishes its stated intent. Pastor sheds light on just how much we need the Lord. When we engage with the word, he shows us our great need, but it's not until we focus on his holiness do we see just how desperate we are for him to change us. In this we have confidence because if we allow him to undo us now, we know that we will not be left "Undone". Let this message stir you to invite the Lord to change every area his...

When Zacheus heard the Messiah was coming his way, he climbed up into a sycamore-fig tree and immediately came down at the Lord's command. We had no idea before this message preached by Pastors Matthew Perot and Wade Sutherland just how analogous that is to the way the Lord is perfecting us. Jesus's word's cut Zacheus to the heart and produced immediate actions towards righteous living. That is the only way that we will bear fruit. We have to allow the Lord to gash us, to circumcise us in an ong...

We are being stirred here at LCM! In view of the mercy of God, we ask that you listen to this message as many times as it takes to understand the weighty revelation that has been laid out before us. What we have just experienced and will continue to experience is the gripping reality that nothing we do before or after Christ will go unnoticed before the one to whom we must give an account. All our deeds (whether with action or inaction) will be in light of the judgment seat of Christ. “Is it Not...

We are grappling, straining with, and wrestling with the truth of God's word. That wrestling is having an impact on our very core, in a way changes how we walk. The same happened to Paul as he had an encounter with the resurrected, living word of God on the road to Damascus. This encounter produced a readiness in him that rendered him always ready for every situation. There is a readiness that is produced from being pierced by the word and that readiness is what is being cultivated in our body. ...

“Piercing Effect” delivered by Pastors Matt and Wade leads us back to a biblically sound truth that is essential for all believers. To experience ongoing daily transformation in our lives it must come from experiencing ongoing daily piercing of God’s word in our lives. Which then lead us to be well-positioned to be empowered and walk in the purposes of our great King. This is the “Piercing Effect”. When we have wrestled, toiled, and have been pierced in our soul from the word, we are positioned ...

Don't wait! That is what the spirit is saying to this church. Elder Eric admonished the body with this timely word. Timely because we don't have time to waste. We don't have time to waste on the things that keep us starved of the daily bread from doing his will. What we do have is a choice to make the most of the days to come. We will open the books, stand on the revelation, speak the very words of God, and inspire others to stand all the same!

We are continuing to embrace and welcome the ongoing transformation our Father is bringing us through! In this sermon entitled “The Gifting of Sifting” by Pastor Wade and Brother Justin Linton, we are called to see the sifting in our lives as a gift from our good Father. Through the sifting, we are brought to a place of humility, testing, and hunger so that we can see it is only through him we can be satisfied by his supernatural provision for us. This process of seeing sifting as a gift causes ...

What a beautiful season we are walking through as a body! Our faithful King is bringing us to a place of ever increasing and ongoing transformation and glory! “Old Provision” preached by Pastor Judah and brother Justin Treaster was a beautiful illustration of an age-old kingdom truth.

He's assuring us of who we are while simultaneously trimming away from us that which does not belong.

Today we learned something that was amazing, that we have everything that we need in Christ. An equally interesting revelation is that right alongside that, we have other things in our lives that we do not need. Pastor Matthew and Elder Eric, encourage us in this sermon entitled “Siting Sets The Table” by revealing that the sifting process is drawing out what God wants to change, and it is how we set the table. The reason our good Father does this, is so that as we are being transformed, we can ...

At an unprecedented time in our body, when the Lord is telling us to build up the body in amazing ways, we are being ample encouragement as to how we carry this out. We were blessed by Pastor Nick Slaughter and his wife Lyndie of the Arising Church, some of the first disciples of this church, as they share with us the realities of what it means to minister. Our ministry is both to God AND to man, we are to love both God and man. They reminded us of the age-old truth that our life is not our own,...

“Giant Gifts” preached by Pastor Wade and Pastor Matt encouraged us to rejoice in the revealing of hidden areas that need to be dealt with in our lives. Areas where giants still roam as leftover enemies. We are called not to despise the revealing of these giants, but rather to view them as gifts from our good Father. To be “all the more eager” to joyfully receive them as a gift while being confident that we will find victory and these giants will fall. Throughout this sermon, the practical appli...

Pastor Judah and Pastor Payton encouraged us with this timely sermon entitled “Family Tradition”. Where we learned that the age old, family tradition of true believers shows up in the approved and tested characteristics of holy masculinity, uncompromising righteousness, dying for our brothers’ vision, and deep convictions based on the word. Which serve as a reminder and assurance that the faith we contend for today is in a long line of those who have held to the same biblical family tradition. E...

It is an astounding revelation to behold when we truly meditate on the truth that Jesus chose us. The impression of this revelation has left an indelible mark on our lives in a way that has changed everything. He has set his seal of ownership on us, branding us with his name, his character, and his precious holy spirit. We have been branded with the substance, the character, and body of work of who he is. Having our eyes to this gives us all the confidence we need to rise up in daily obedience a...

This is the same love that we are to have for one another as we build up the body of Christ. Let...

“Swatting Flies” delivered by Elder Eric, Pastor Judah, and Pastor Nik, remind us that we are the perfume and aroma of Christ and the anointing we have received is the real thing.

But we cannot be stop, we will not be deterred, because the anointing that we have received from ...

Happy Thanksgiving Saints! At a day and time where the world is proclaiming this to be the most expensive thanksgiving ever, we take the time to reflect on giving true thanks. When it seems like there's nothing to be thankful for, men like Habakkuk found strength in their God & found that he had appointed their feet to stand. As we TAKE joy, we will find the same in our day as the days grow darker and darker.

“More and More Powerful” delivered by Pastor Wade, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Judah show us what it takes to be truly effective in the kingdom and what it means to become more and more powerful. As we looked at the lives of men like David, Mordecai, and Paul, we learned that they were men who feared the Lord instead of the taunts of the enemy. As a result, they built up the surrounding terraces, the lower places in their walls, and dedicated their lives to strengthening other men. When we follow th...

We've never been more qualified, more prepared, and more capable as a body to shoulder the load. But just as in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, there is a deception that can attempt to muddy the water of our discernment as we are growing like never before. Namely, we could be tempted to ...
