LCM Sermons

Covenant faithfulness and devotion was always expected from all God's people, not just the Levites. Priest and Levite alike were called to carry the word in their heart in such a way that displayed the character of God. This was so important that God graciously decided to inscribe his laws for them so that they would always have them. Later on in a time of calamity and judgement God told the people that he would write his words on their hearts so that they might obey. Jesus was the walking fulfillment of this promise. Brothers Carlos Rueda and Timothy Carter walked us through how Jesus inscribes the words of God on our hearts in this sermon entitled "Written on out Hearts".

What an inspiring word we heard this morning! The covenant keeping God is serious about His covenants. He will uphold what he promised and fight to ensure that His name and word is continually exalted above all. As He instructed the Levites in how they are to carry the Ark of His covenant with all seriousness and reverence, we too will demonstrate the same in our lives. He is worthy of it all, and we ensure that all other priorities fall by the wayside to honor His covenant in our lives. Because we are His covenant carriers.

It's an amazing thing to be called to the side of the Lord in covenant. His ways are awesome and the ways he calls men to join him is amazing. The fact that you have been called to the side of the Lord & set apart is no small thing. When men value the covenant, God is exalted & partners with that man to do amazing things.

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

We are experiencing such an extraordinary time in our community. Lives are being transformed, marriages are bounding, and seriousness for the word of God is every increasing in our midst. We were blessed to have Pastors Spencer and Matthew deliver this word “The Call to Covenant”. Our God is a covenant keeping God. He is a God who has and continues to show his faithfulness to the family of Abraham. And through King Jesus, He has also called us to covenant with Him. In spite of our shortcomings and failures, He carries us to himself. All His promises preserve our life. Our King stands with His people until the very end, and we will remain strong and not give way to fear. We are answering the call to covenant.

When the "I Am That I Am" speaks, all creation responds. He is the one who both promised, and delivers on his promises. He is faithful, unwavering, and unchanging. When we get a revelation of who he is & connect that to he has said we are, we begin to walk in a whole new level of empowerment. When we turn to the I Am, he intervenes in the covenant he has made with us, to help us in our time of need and direct our strength unto obedience. The process of turning to the Lord requires us to leave behind the what-ifs. It sets us along a path of freedom that we might run the race marked out for us without hinderance. This message preached by brothers Gabriel Stephens and Carlos Rueda entitled "I Am" will inspire you to no end. He is the great I am, there you can say "by the grace of God I am what I am.

What a joy it is to search out the deep things of God, and also to be searched out by the King of Glory Himself. Pastor Matthew and Pastor Justin demonstrate for us how the kingly path that we are on, requires searching and refinement by our Heavenly Father, in order to reach His intended goal for us. Through the life of a man like David, we can see that even in the midst of spectacular mistakes, our God is able to redeem and work things out for the good of those who truly love him. We know who we are, and what our Father has made us to be. So therefore, we are asking Him for the complete searching of our hearts and lives. This is The Glory of Kings.

One More, Once More! Once more, the Lord is shaking the things from our lives that can be shaken so that we remain unshakable sons. Instead, we are being stirred to faith. What came into focus in this sermon preached by brothers Paul Rosales & Marlin Sosa are things that must be shaken out of us when we are put under pressure. The draw and desire to withdraw into hiding of some sort is overcome when we cry out to the Lord in the midst of these circumstances to cry out once more to our God to strengthen us! From this place we make war and expand the kingdom.

“Fresh Fire” is exactly what we need in order to go deeper in our relationship with the Father. We are destroying the lie that we are never enough by rising up in faith as Gideon did in the book of Judges. We will move forward in obedience and resist all pretense to present ourselves as perfected beforehand. As imperfect men, we will continue to keep in step with our perfect God. We are repairing the altar of our hearts, with anticipation that fresh fire from heaven will fall. Reigniting us again that we may complete the mission given to us by God.

When we, LCM, are on mission, no snake bite can stop us. Like Paul, we can shake off snakes or sin, and keep moving towards the goal of the mission. We do this by remembering who we are as sons of God & not letting go of the things God has spoken to us. LCM is a church full of men and women who are on mission, doing the last thing the Lord told them until he speaks the next. This is how we will advance our kings agenda in our lifetime.
