LCM Sermons

Elder Eric and Pastor Nick Slaughter blessed our body by wrapping up our Pattern of God series with the culminating item: The Gates of Praise. One of the most amazing revelations is that this has been the process by which God has form our churches. Pastor Slaughter came all the way from Crystal Lake to testify to us how God has built the Arising Church. We were encouraged to continue building the church in the same way he's been building us by continuing in the process or pattern shown us. This word will encourage you to build as you are put through the glory testing that refines our faith and builds the kingdom.

In the sixth installation in our Pattern of God series, we are the Bronze Laver! And as the Bronze Laver we reflect God's image and nature to those we come into contact with. Through speaking the words of God and our faith-filled deeds towards our brothers, we remind them of their divine heavenly identity as sons of the living God. This “washing” in our divine identity and reminder of who we are, is what causes us to move forward in the Kingdom. With a new song in our mouth, we are testifying to the goodness of our God. We are the Bronze Laver! We are sons of God! We are what the entire world needs!

Precious in the sight of our God is the death of his holy ones. While he takes no pleasure in the death of a sinner who dies, he does consider it special when one of his sons lays down their lives so that a sinner be atoned for. In this refection on building as the Bronze Laver, brothers Carlos Rueda and Paul Rosales inspire and challenge us to joyfully lay down our lives as living sacrifices. In doing so, we are building just as our messiah has done.

In the fifth installation in our Pattern of God series, we are the Bronze Altar and we build with the joyful sacrifice of our lives as the Bronze Altar. Our desire is to be pleasing to the Father by walking in obedience to His will and having a zeal for his righteous judgements. Through the joyful sacrifice of our lives, we will inspire others to follow in our footsteps. Today, we are fanning into flame a renewed commitment to be the Bronze Altar and to joyfully sacrifice on behalf of the kingdom and others. This is pattern that we have been giving, and with this pattern, we will build the Kingdom of God on earth.

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

We Are Prayer. We are the altar of incense. We are in partnership with God & get to offer up our lives as a pleasing aroma to him. In this message preached by Paul Rosales, Nick Rosales, and Caleb Brown we heard firsthand examples what it's like to have our lives consumed as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. This is how we build the dwelling of God on the earth. We pray for someone, then we become prayer, acting as we are sovereignly led by the Father.

In this fourth installation in our Pattern of God series, we learned that we are the Altar of Incense and are in partnership with God through prayer. Our lives have been completely consumed like incense in service to God's will, and through us, He spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ everywhere. This is how we build the Kingdom of God and how we impact the lives all around us. With unwavering dedication, marching to the war drums of heaven, and being the majority influence everywhere we go, we will see a profound impact on the world around us. The nations will be won for the Glory of His Name!

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

We are the Menorah's of God! We are the LIGHT! AND we must therefore we must shine the light. Brothers Carlos Rueda and Gabriel Stephens clinched in this message with things that cause us to quench the Spirits fire & to grieve the Holy Spirit. They then inspired us as to what the light inside us can overcome when we shine it. This sermon entitled "Tree of Life" will undoubtedly spark a fire in you to burn all the more brighter as you walk as the menorah of God.

As we continue in our Pattern of God Series, the focus today was on the Menorah of God. We are the Menorah of God called to bring light into the world. This is something that we do together and through a collective effort as the people of God. Spreading His light and presence everywhere so that others may be transformed and become Menorah’s themselves. We have been filled with his Spirit and are called to illuminate dark situations, pointing and lighting the way for others toward salvation. Just as Philip did for the Ethiopian eunuch, this message inspires us to step out boldly into any situation and we can be confident that the light in us will dispel all the darkness around us. As the Menorah of God, we are anointed to rebuild and restore the lives of others. Bringing hope and divine restoration wherever we go.
