LCM Sermons

Our goal is the "Friend Zone". It's the place where our life and identity are solidified and strengthened. The friend zone discussed in this sermon preached by brothers Gabriel Stephens and Kris Reusora however is one based on friendship with God. This closeness to our friend and king is what gives us what we need to be whole-heartedly obedient. Let this sermon spark a personal revival in your own heart that lights you and others ablaze and re-ignite your desire for intimacy with the King.

What an incredibly inspiring word we heard this morning from both Pastor Wade and Pastor Matthew! “Behold Him…Again” is exactly what we are being called higher to do. To have a pursuit and relationship with our King as a man would have with his best friend. Our hearts desire is this; nothing else matters, nothing else is more important than having eyes for Him and Him alone. He is the one who calls our name, walks with us, and calls us higher into fellowships with Him. We are learning to initiate a pursuit of Him with faith that He will meet us again as He first did. Let this message inspire you to pursue your King with all of your heart, soul, and strength. Because when you behold Him again, you become exactly what He is.

We were born into the kingdom as Sons of God. But our pursuits of him and his ways has made us Kings. As Proverbs 25:2 states, it is the glory of God to conceal a matter and it is to the glory of kings to search it out. In this sermon entitled "Kingly Vision", Brothers Gabriel Sutherland and JJ Molock encourage us to have kingly vision. As kings it is our right and responsibility to have kingly vision in every endeavor. The kind of vision that doesn't look to the circumstances around but looks on high for heavens perspective and aid. Let this message inspire you to have your vision trained for kingly pursuits.

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

What a joy it is to have the Stephens back in the house! “Beholding the Resurrection” was an action-packed, scripture rich, and engaging sermon preached by Pastor Eric. “You become what you behold” and “what you behold is what you will become”. This is such a simple but profound truth with depths that have a momentous effect on the lives of those who love Christ. To start well in the Kingdom is not the same as finishing well in the Kingdom. In order to finish well, we must continue to fan into flame a burning desire for our King. An all out (nothing else will do) pursuit toward his presence is the only thing that will satisfy. This sermon will challenge you, make you feel uncomfortable, and also inspire you to greater heights to pursue a deeper love and relationship with the King of Glory. Listen now!

Examining the week leading up to Jesus' crucifixion teaches us many things. One of the main things we took away from this message was the proper perspective Jesus demonstrated in all of his crucifying moments. The pattern he set still informs us to this day. What will give us the proper courage to endure our own crucifying moments is the understanding that these moments are meant to lead us into a greater experience with our Father. This experience produces a conviction that he is near us in these moments and that he will answer us.

“A Constant Yield” delivered by Pastor Spencer, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matthew. Spoke to us about what the suffering in our lives was always aimed at producing; which is to bear much fruit. To bear much fruit, we have to clear out the unholy things that find themselves amongst the holy things in the life of a believer. We have to get rid of the expectations that lead to self-entitlement and the shortcuts that delay the maturity needed for growth. For transformation to take place, confrontation is needed, and we will not shrink back from the difficulties that help us grow. Instead, we will remain connected to the Vine and we will bear much fruit. He is our salvation, and we will put our trust in him and see a constant yield.

This message entitled "Walk In It", preached by brother Gabriel Sutherland and Timothy Carter was securing the sonship of our body. Especially in times of difficulty, our sonship must remain solid. That is because the difficulties and hardships are discipline from our good father, that is meant to affirm our sonship. He even uses the difficulties to spur on hunger. This is the blessing of the hardships in our lives. What are not blessings are the bastard-like thoughts we have that are aimed at separating us from God and our brothers. This sermon hit the target of our hearts and was aimed at causing us to walk in it. That is our identity as sons and the ability to go through the difficulties with some good old Gethsemane Grit.

“What An Exciting Life” delivered by Pastor Wade and a Brother Gabriel was inspiring, exhilarating, and brazenly transparent. What does it look like to step out in faith in the midst of what seems to be certain peril? To have the sentence of death upon you, without any chance of salvation if the Lord did not intervene on your behalf? Through the lives of men like Jacob and Samson, we are being reminded and inspired to dance again with our King to the tunes of dangerous melodies. This was how we entered the Kingdom at the beginning of our walk. Not playing it safe or standing indifferent to the circumstances around us. Rather, realizing that the testimonies we have today, were as a result of finding ourselves in perilous situations, while trusting our great God in the midst of it. Only to then watch him come through with the saving power of His right hand. This is what it means to have an exciting life in the Kingdom of God. That in spite of our failures and difficulties, our merciful Lord can still bring sweetness right out of that situation which then revives our souls. What daring acts of faith are still awaiting you to step into? What deeds are left for you to do in order to bring glory to your King? What is it, that will follow you into eternity? For us here at LCM, it is the exciting life to gain all we have, by giving up everything for our King.

Instead of focusing on what we lose through suffering, brother Paul Rosales and J.J. Molock chose to masterfully highlight everything we gain in suffering. In this message entitled "Suffering Gains" we were inspired to press into the difficulties because of what they bring about. Favor and fellowship with the father, true fellowship with the brotherhood, freedom from the fear of death, the very kingdom of God, etc. The list goes on and on. Let this message inspire you to press into everything before until you receive entry into the kingdom you're after.
