LCC Sunday Messages

We are saved through faith, yet faith that saves is never alone! This morning we’ll see that when we are living the life of faith that Christ gives, a natural and expected result

is that we'll radiate His beauty and goodness, mature in our walk with Him, and bear fruit, showing that His life is in us.

Why are you here? What does your heart beat for? What does God have in store for your life? What does He want to accomplish through you?

God desires to use us to do all  kinds of good works that He has prepared in advance for us to do. But first we need something that only Jesus can give us: grace, faith, life!

In the natural world, from plants to people, healthy things grow to maturity.  In the spiritual realm things are no different.  Those who have experience the new birth through Jesus Christ begin a lifelong journey where the growth never stops.  This week, let's take a look at what it means to grow!

Some of the world’s most successful people have been men and women of great purpose. Yet, did you know that the Creator God has an awesome plan and purpose for your life?

It's not by chance that Jesus begins His teaching from the Sermon on the Mount with the promise of blessings. To be sure, God desires that each of us experiences a blessed life, meaning a life to be envied, desired, and longed for. So, where do we sign up?

Jesus came to set us free by His redemptive work!  He is our hope!  He is our joy!  He is! His grace is amazing.

Did you know that the Creator of the universe, the One who created all things and by whose hand everything holds together, has a wonderful plan for your life? You and I make choices each day that have a positive or negative effect on God’s plan being fulfilled. So how available will you make yourself to God in this year?

“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” -Clarence Oddbody

In the holiday classic "It's a Wonderful Life", quintessential everyman George Bailey struggles to see that his life has purpose and significance.  In a desperate answer to prayer, God grants him the rare opportunity to see just what everyone's life would be like without him and in the end he realizes just how precious a gift he had been given, and how blessed he was.

What if Jesus had never been born?  Can you even imagine for a second what life would be like if Jesus never came?  What a hole that would be left.  A huge, unfillable void. Have you ever asked Why did Jesus come?

For some, the days leading up to Christmas are an opportunity to begin the great shopping quest, to shop till you drop. However, more importantly, Christmas is a reminder that Jesus came to provide us something that cannot be purchased.
