LCC Sunday Messages

This week we will continue our examination of the majesty and mission of Jesus by looking at His titles of the way, truth, and life. The only hope for this world is Christ!

There are many kinds of fear. Healthy fear can protect us and keep us from danger. On the other hand, unhealthy fear or a lack of appropriate fear may cause us to act carelessly or haphazardly and may even place us in real danger. Yet, what about fearing the Lord? In the age of grace, is it still necessary, rational, and healthy for us to fear the Lord?

Jesus. No name is greater. Jesus. He is our Lord and King. Today we look to the one who is our hope and celebrate the salvation found in Him!

During our Mission Possible series, we've seen we need to love God with everything and others the way He wants us to. We've been called to preach the Good News in all the world, making disciples, teaching them to follow Jesus. We've seen the importance of getting our spiritual lives in order through the spiritual disciplines so that our relationship with God may go deeper and our faith grow stronger. Today, we put it all together and see that now is our moment of truth. The time has come to GO and DO what He has said!

Jeff and family are serving as missionaries to the Philippines. Today, Jeff shares a message on The Great Commission and the amazing things God is doing!

How we live matters. What we think, what we say, and what we do matters to God and matters to others. As followers of Jesus, we want to live in a way that honors Christ and shows others His love. This week, as we continue to look at spiritual disciplines, we will focus on the outward disciplines of simplicity, solitude, and service. Our mission is to "walk the walk" the Lord has set before us.

Real life and lasting transformation are found in Jesus Christ. As His followers we need to put off the old self and put on the new. This is accomplished by the work of the Holy Spirit in us. We need to think new thoughts and do new God-honoring actions, bearing fruit for His Kingdom. We can experience this transformation through the inward spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting, and study of God's Word. Today we will look at how necessary and good these are for the followers of Jesus.

As followers of Jesus, we are on God’s great mission. We are called to be who God has called us to be and do what God calls us to do, going wherever He leads us. Over the next few weeks, we will examine the importance of following our leader, Jesus Christ. We are going to be challenged to draw close to Jesus as His disciples. One way that we do that is through spiritual discipline. Today we will examine what spiritual discipline is, why it’s significant, and what role it plays in growing in our spiritual life.

This week we return to our Mission Possible series, where we have explored the importance of being on the mission that God has given us, empowered by His Spirit. Do you want to be used by the Lord? Does your relationship with God seem stagnant? Are you in need of a breakthrough? Over the next few weeks, our hope is to give you the tools you need to be transformed by God and prepared for the mission He has for you!

Each year, on December 31, millions of us, filled with optimism and hope, determined to make changes in our lives by making New Year’s resolutions. Yet research indicates that anywhere from 55%-88% of those who make New Year’s resolutions give up pursuing them within six months. The fact is, change doesn’t come easily. Old habits and old lifestyles are hard to break. And the longer we have been practicing a bad habit or cultivating a physically or spiritually unhealthy way of thinking, behaving, acting or reacting, the more entrenched it becomes.

So, is there any hope for us? Yes, there is!
