“You Are Not Special” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade is a timely message for our body and our current day. We have been told for most of our lives that we were special because of our physical traits, intellect, or the hardships we have faced. The biblical reality is none of these things actually make us special and the word of God makes this clear. Our pastors walk us through the first four steps of the 5 Traits of Holy Masculinity and we learn what actually make a man of G...

As we continue to discuss how the ideal biblical man functions, an essential part of the discussion is the "savior" complex that we all have. God has deposited inside each of us the desire to save that which is under our care. But without the essential foundation of dominion and cultivation being appropriately applied, this Godly attribute becomes a sort of pseudo-savior, a counterfeit, effeminate imitation of what a man is supposed to be. Our pastors Judah and Nik open our eyes to the schemes o...

Pastor Judah, Pastor Payton, and Pastor Wade preached a fantastic sermon entitled ‘Maximizing Your Manhood”, where we learned the true intent of cultivation and the process by which our good Father works into us what is good and pleasing to him. Through desert like circumstances and difficulty, hindrances, idolatry, and competing interests are removed and we are brought into the full manhood of Christ. This is what cultivation was always meant to produce in us and this is how we maximize our man...

Jesus was THE man! He is the example that we look to in order to determine what it is to be a "Biblically Adherent Male". Jesus knew what was in his dominion and he had God's heart for everything in his care. We learn in this sermon entitled "Biblically Adherent Male" to reflect the character and dominion that he displays. Like Jesus, we're not asking permission to be dominators of what's in our field, nor are we apologizing for it. We are learning to love everyone and everything in our care to ...

Today, we looked into a much-needed biblical truth that in our present day has been water down, neutered, and downright misunderstood. “Masculine Holiness” preached by Pastor Wade and Pastor Payton expound on the 5 traits that great men of God display in their actions. King Jesus who is the perfect model of these things, calls us to walk as he did. Starting first with the man of the home and then flowing down into his family. This is the biblical model, and this is who we are.

Reflecting on the process by which God makes men into righteous oaks, we look to the Father of the faith, Abraham. Abraham was a mighty righteous oak who faithfully followed the Lord throughout the cycles of growth in his life. In him, we see the old military adage exemplified "Semper Fidelis, Semper Gumby" or "Always Faithful, Always Flexible". From him, we learn to glory in the Lord's ability to take what is currently dead & breathe life into it. This revelation is supposed to give us the ...

What a fantastic word delivered by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah entitled “Husbandry”. We were brought through the biblical lens of the process by which God cultivates man. In this call to husbandry, we must develop the areas that the Lord has highlighted to us while trusting him to makes things grow. This is because we are in a covenantal relationship with our good Father that is meant to produce life inside of us and life in the world around us. This call and process of husbandry is what we need...

In this message preached by brothers Justin Treaster and Adam Corra, we continue with a theme of growing in an appreciation of the agricultural background that every Israeli would have related to the promises in the Tanakh. To you and me here in America, there is not much unique about fruit production, but to a Jew, fruit being produced in Israel is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. Throughout their entire history as a people, they have to fight for their promises to be fulfilled, while at the s...

“Training to Reproduce” preached by Pastor Payton, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade encouraged and spurred us on to what the original mandate to mankind was, to be fruitful and increase in number. The process and mechanism for this to take place requires there to be plowing, planting, growing, and harvesting that occurs in a cyclical pattern. We must take an honest assessment of our lives to know where we are in the cycle especially after an abundant harvest has taken place. When we know the conditi...

Coming off an amazing Sunday where we talked about the continuous cultivation that we are performing as international harvesters, Pastor Matt & Pastor Nik call us up higher to the warrior status we have been given. In this sermon entitled "Trained to Triumph", we received the revelation that we are warriors, and we are continually being made into warriors through battle. It's through the journey that men of God are made, and our faithful father is making sure that we are trained to triumph. ...

Elder Eric and Pastor Judah delivered this fantastic sermon this morning entitled “International Harvesters”. We are constantly faced with the reality of the death that must take place in us in order for resurrection life to spring forth. This death is not to be understood as something that happened a long time ago at the cross nor should resurrection be looked at as solely a future event. Rather we are to have a revelation that this is a cyclical process of crucifying moments that reveal the co...

As the sun is setting in one place, it rises in another. How much more so with our lives? As there is death in one area, resurrection life springs up from that very same place. It is the present cruxificion that actually allows for something better to be built back in its place. Because of this, we are learning more and more about how to welcome and walk in the death to resurrection life cycle. This cycle is for the here and now, in our lives today. Listen to this message from Pastors Payton, Ni...

Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade deliver a powerful sermon entitled “Do You Believe?”. In this sermon, we learned that the process of redemption is not a one time act done in the past, nor is the process of resurrection a one time act done in the future. In the kingdom, both redemption and resurrection are needed daily. As we clinch with the daily death that must take place inside of us, we find his redemption and his resurrection power at work in our lives. We must die daily and believe he will rais...

You know, if we take some of the Apostle Paul's assertions about attaining the power of the resurrection & his abilities to reflect Christ to others at face value, it may seem as if he is uncertain about the final outcome. All too often, we could be tempted to reflect the same "seeming" uncertainty in our lives. But Pastors Wade Sutherland and Nik Arezina crush this uncertainty with this powerful sermon entitled "Somehow". By understanding the Netzer principle, we learn that just as Jesus th...

“M.I.A” preached by Elder Eric and Pastor Payton admonished us to take on the personal responsibility to walk in the resurrection life that is found in Jesus. It is not enough for us to know that Jesus resurrected from the dead, but we are called to live in light of the resurrection. Experiencing his resurrection power daily at work in us through the laying down of our lives and taking steps of faith filled actions that empower the next generation to go even further. Let your inspiration in the ...

During a time when we reflect on the crucifixion of our Lord and contemplate it, brothers Carlos Rueda and Justin Treaster share this amazing word. By looking into Jesus's life & inserting ourselves into the story, we begin to reflect on his divinely submissive character in a way that must change us. His willingness to endure death continuously brings us life and shows us how we must follow. The brothers remind us that death comes before glory in our lives, just as it did for our Lord. The b...

What a beautiful time we are living in. “Trail to Triumph” preached by Pastor Nik Arežina walked us through a beautiful symbolic understanding of Palm Sunday. As the body of Christ, we all have the personal responsibility to lay down our cloaks to make a level path for Messiah and the generations that come after us. The branches and cloaks we are laying down are the symbolic sign that we have the victory through King Jesus. This is the path to the resurrection. This is the path in building the h...

Our good father is being good to his church! He is leveling out our lives and building in us the highway of holiness that we may walk in! Valleys are being raised up, mountains are being laid low, and rough places are being made smooth! Pastors Matt, Wade, and Nik remind us how and why to have joy in the midst of this process! Because of what we know it is producing not only for us, but also for our generations, we can shout " I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!". Join with us on this ...

It is good to be in the house of the Lord! Today we were blessed by the word brought by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah, “A Couple of Ordinary Asses”. In this sermon, we learned through the prophetic book of Zechariah the word of the Lord not only to the house of Israel but also to us here at LCM. Our great King is invested in the generations beyond us. He does this by removing the idolatry, worldly tendencies, and empty way of life that was handed down from previous generations that we find ourselv...

“The Vine Revelations” preached by Pastor Payton reminded us of our great call in the Kingdom of God. Jesus, the true vine, from whom all heavenly authority and nourishment is given, has chosen us to bear fruit. Fruit that will last. This everlasting fruit (from generation to generation) we are called to bear, requires us to face the man in the mirror. Confronting those areas of our lives where we do not yet see fruit and taking hold of his word by walking in obedience to it. Not letting the man...

Snapshots preached by Pastors Nik, Wade, and Matt encouraged us to rise up and take hold of the staff that has been divinely appointed us. The staff that symbolizes authority, right standing, and the high calling that is ours in Christ Jesus. We learned through the lives of the men of the biblical world as well as through these pastors lives that we must look to the divine appointment that was originated in us by our good Father. Even with some negative snapshots, we cannot choose to stay down b...

And we know something else, for we can see his character being formed in us. What is more, is that we know the trials that we are enduring now will result in glorious hope. In this way, we can have hope and confidence as we look back at where have come from AND where he is bringing us into. Listen to this inspiring and hope-filled message from Pastors Matt &...

What a glorious time we are living in! “A Tale of Two Houses” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Judah illustrate the biblical truth that both faith and fight must work together to bring about the transformation required in our lives. Underemphasizing either one of these pivotal principles in the life of a believer leads to a compounding error of increasing ramifications. Instead, we must embrace and hold on to both faith and the fight. We must learn to live in the tension to demonstrate faith t...

Our father has favored us! He has blessed us! He has done so in marvelous fashion, by opening our eyes to the realities of our true condition both as Sons of God and Sons of men. Whilst holding on firmly to both of these truths, the distance between who he is and who we are is becoming more and more evident. This honest grappling of our sin brings us to the same place as it did David. An honest recognition that we are the ones that have sinned and done wrong, and we are the ones in need of our F...

One of the best things that a believer can experience is coming to grips with just how sinful we are while at the same time growing in our love for the Lord. Too often we smooth over our actual state and walk with the Lord by only embracing the truth that we through Christ have been credited with righteousness. We do this without equally wrestling with the fact that there must be ongoing transformation aimed at righteousness. We are quick to embrace that we are Sons of God, and rightfully so, bu...

LCM, we have been engaged in the conflict of all conflicts from the very beginning. We were promised from the very beginning that we would crush the enemy AND that he would strike our heel. Yet it seems that what sometimes starts as a garden snake can grow into an enormous red dragon. The Lord is calling us to develop tachos, quickness to right action. He is simultaneously working out of us the fear of being bitten, in order to win! The agony of being bitten is fueling a cry to the Lord, deepeni...

True Friend! Preached by Pastor Payton and Pastor Matt, drives at the center of the relationship our good Father desires to have with us and the desire we must have towards him. We learn through the lives of men like Abraham that one of the driving forces behind a true friendship with the Father was based on partnership with him, not performance. Pursuing a true friendship with the Father requires us to bring to him the darkness areas of our lives and iniquities because true friends do not hide ...

Our faithful father has been faithful to us in these dark days. Something about meditating on his character changes us as we engage with him in every circumstance. What is more, is that our faithful God shows himself faithful to faithful men. He chose men like Abraham because he "knew" him, and revealed his plan to him. So shall it be for us as we press on to know him better; He will make us what he is. Pastor Nik Arezina and brother Paul Rosales spur us on to live lives worthy of the Lord and g...
