“Misplaced Enmity” preached by Pastor Nik and Pastor Payton, was an amazing word that centered us on being our brother’s keeper. These Pastors helped us to properly adjust our reticles so that we might exalt our brothers above ourselves, with God reigning over us both. They taught us how to deal with misplaced enmity that leads to cancerous areas and development in our growth and relationship with our brothers. We are going to view our brothers through the lens of the righteous, fighting for eac...

Brothers Paul Rosales & Carlos Rueda preached this message from their heart & moved all of ours to action! This sermon entitled "Brother's Keeper, Father's Pleaser" spurred us on to a right perspective towards one another, based on a right relationship to our Father. Oneness with the father and a desire to partner with him helps us to grab ahold of our genuine identity as sons. This produces good sons, and good sons become good brothers. Let this message inspire you to bring many sons to...

“Judah and His Brothers” is a timely sermon for us to grab ahold of. Often times when we read about the sons of Israel in the book of Genesis, we put ourselves in the shoes of Joseph instead of who we actually reflect and resemble in the story most days of our life. The who being Judah and his brothers. Elder Eric and Pastor Judah helped us grapple with the reality that when we are envious, jealous, or find ourselves in contention with our brothers, it is because we don’t understand our heavenly...

This past Sunday's sermon entitled "Defeating Disparity, Creating Equals" inspired us all to take a deeper look into how we see one another and what our responsibility is to one another. Through wrestling to grasp these concepts, we are discovering to an even greater degree our interdependence on one another. Brothers Abimbola Daramola and Justin Linton explore this topic even further in this message entitled "Strictly Fidelity". Like John, our entire existence should be to see the Sons of God t...

“Defeating Disparity Creating Equals” was a refreshing reminder that the work of the kingdom that we get to partake in is not in vain. We were blessed by Jen and Abby as they shared the testimonies of what the Lord is doing all around the world in Indonesia, Italy, Albania, and Romania and the lives that are being changed. Elder Eric then walked us through the incredible responsibility that we have to the brotherhood of believers by speaking life into our brothers. When we demonstrate this kind ...

In this time of our preparation for the days ahead, it's seem that the Lord is intent on increasing the unity among brothers. This message entitled "One More Time", preached by Pastor Payton Parsons and brother Justin Treaster, reminds us why the Lord gives us strength or ability. We learned that the reason that God anoints a family and strengthens them is for their brothers and sisters to their left and right. This is a source of great encouragement because in the natural we know that our stren...

“Officer Mentality” is a sermon you are going to want to listen to again and again. The Lord is unlocking biblical principles that have built LCM, intending that each of us would have them deeply embedded into our souls. Pastors Wade, Nik, Payton, and Matt spurred us on as a brotherhood regarding how life giving, unifying, and kingdom dependent the relationships that we have with our fellow brothers are. We will no longer look at our brothers through a worldly or fleshy perspective but rather we...

What it would have been like for Abraham to look up at the stars and try to count them. How awesome, how exciting, and all together impossible it must have seemed. We're beginning to see our portion of that same mission in much of the same way, with awe and wonder. Pastor Payton Parsons along with Brothers Justin Treaster and Justin Linton help us develop our affinity for one of the vehicles that will propel us to the promises of God. Suffering. Suffering is promised, even granted to us as a gif...

“Pinpoint Precision” preached by Pastors Wade, Payton, Nik, and Matt is the right word for the right time in our body. We have identified public enemy #1 as fear and the many forms it takes. And one of the subversive, more “acceptable” forms of fear shows up in being anxious. Often times we present our anxiousness as noble when in reality it is really a nice way of saying we are fearful. This sermon highlighted, addressed, and spurred us on to the solution with Pinpoint Precision. This Pinpoint ...

Get your Mezzuzah back on mission! Our heavenly father has been beckoning to us, organizing and arranging us by rank and file so that we accomplish our collective mission. It is because this is his intended will for us that we must rightly deal with our fears. Pastor Judah and brother Asad Robinson lay out this beautiful, powerful, and transparent call to arms entitled “Be Afraid”. The way that we rightly deal with fear is not by pretending that we should not be afraid, but by learning to fear o...

“Public Enemy #1” preached by Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade exposes the biggest enemy and threat to the lives of believers; Fear. This internal enemy seeks to rob us of the present reality of our growth and the work we are called to in the Kingdom by showing up in a variety of ways, but it must be identified as the single root of fear. Our great King is increasing our awareness of this Public Enemy and we have been given the tools, teachings, and practical application through adhering to the word ...

We are beginning to hear the war drums more clearly in our body. The Lord is calling us up as officers in his army with our sight set on the nations. The task is noble, so it is fitting that the ignoble be removed from our own hearts so that the work remains pure and untainted. Brothers Justin Treaster, Paul Rosales, and Carlos Rueda encouraged us with this sermon entitled "Uprising" by helping us to examine our intentions. From purifying our intentions about why we want to become overseers, to ...

We are moving to a War-Time Economy mindset. This is what our heavenly father has been doing in our body. He is causing us to firmly grasp and value the resources we've been given and put them to work, in the precise way we have been shown by our commanders.

“Stewardship” preached by Pastor Nik and Pastor Payton, help further the kingdom principle and practical application of the necessity of being trustworthy stewards. We must continually renew our original commitment to being good stewards because the Lord is going to examine the quality of the work product of our lives.

In this sermon entitled “Audacious Faith” brothers Abimbola Daramola and Carlos Rueda spur us on to continue in the unstoppable attitude that was imparted to us on Sunday. As officers enlisted in the Lords army, we must prove faithful with what has been entrusted to us. This is how we prove faithful, by valuing what we have already been give & by multiplying it. Our pursuit and attitude are not that of a defensive measure but we must be on the offensive for Jesus Christ. Like Jehu, we have a...

“Impossible” preached by Elder Eric was a foundational reminder of the simple but timeless and powerful kingdom truths. Often times, we think that we (the church of Jesus Christ) are the ones with an impossible task. This is simply not the truth. The one with the impossible task are those who stand in opposition to the church of God. They simply cannot overcome the church; it is impossible for them! As believers, we must walk in this reality that the church of the living God simply cannot be sto...

Pastors Matt and Wade blessed us with this message entitled "I Will Make You". As we examined the lives of Jeremiah, Ezra, Peter, and Stephen, we found one common thread in all of them. They did not drop out of the sky already formed into the powerful, mature men of God that we read about in the scripture. They all demonstrated the evidence of needing to be "made" into what God said they would be. This brings us comfort because we still need to be "made" into all that God has said we will be. Th...

We are learning how to walk in greater levels of discernment to distinguish between those who are worthy of receiving of God’s right order from you versus those who are not. While we are in the world, we are not of the world. Our good Father has established core fundamentals of faith for us, and we will not be bribed, intimidated, or seduced away from the undeniable ...

“Beyond the Obligatory” preached by Pastors Judah, Nik, Matt, and Wade was a refreshing reminder of what it means to truly be in the faith and making good on our promise to at all cost put the Kingdom first. We were challenged, encouraged, and spurred on to show our faith by our deeds and were stirred by the word through the examples of men who gave everything for the Kingdom to make it as far as us! Now it is our turn. Not a onetime giving of our lives, but a continual sacrifice of our lives at...

No mourning, no weeping, no wailing, or drowning in despair.

This is the encouragement that we received from Pastor Payton Parsons and brother Justin Treaster in this message entitled "Light The Fire Again". We are putting to death mission drift by setting fire to everything in us that opposes God's will in our lives...

“Pathway to Perfection” preached by Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade taught us to fully embrace the only pathway to become perfected as Jesus was perfected. Part of this pathway to perfection includes suffering, reverent submission, and completing the work he has assigned for us to do. Another thing we learned is the only way to progress down this pathway is perfect unity with the Lord and with our brothers. Jesus is one with the Father and the Father is one with him and we have been called to aim fo...

Men like Abraham, Isaac, and Joshua all had experiences with the God of Israel at Shechem. As saints of the living God, we are called to live and have experiences with the Lord at Shechem.

Unfortunately, there are other competing interest in our lives and we are being shown the way we seek our own glory. Fortunately, our heavenly father is equipping us with the revelation that sh...

In this reflection on Sunday's message entitled "You're Not Special". the brothers dig deeper into the concept of what makes a sage. A sage is one who has experienced God's dominion, cultivation, and salvation over multiple seasons in his life. This experience is what moves him to respond to God's authority & this response leads us to transfer the impact of that revelation adequately. This is how one becomes sagely in his word and deed. But before we taste of this we must come to grips with ...
