LCM Sermons

A bridge is a section of contrasting musical material that connects two sections of a song. It is often used to prepare for and return to the original material section. In light of the "unforgettable song" that we have become aware of from Deuteronomy 32, we learned that it begins with Adonai's faithfulness to his covenant, his people's inability to keep that covenant and ends with God's covenant loyalty to deliver to them from their sins and enemies. None of this is contested. What is a mystery is the bridge that connects these two events. That is the fact that he would use a people that is no people to make his people jealous. The "no people" her is us. Brothers Carlos Treaster and Paul Rosales encouraged and challenge us that the only way to stir the Jew's to jealousy is to live in the "fullness" of Christ formed in us & to be living sacrifices as Romans 12-15 talks about.

The times we are living in are truly special and we are on the precipice of the greatest advancement that our community has ever seen. This message entitled “Remembering The Unforgettable Song”, laid a masterful and scriptural foundation for understanding Paul’s writings in the book of Romans and his hope and desire to see the salvation of Israel. From Romans, we learned that Paul was drawing from the inspiration of the Torah; namely, what God will do with His people and His ultimately plan of redemption for them. This inspiration from the Torah can be specifically linked to a song that God had Moses write for the Israelite's. As we familiarized ourselves with the content and lyrics of the song of Moses, we were given insight into our role as gentile graft-ins who stand with the God of Israel and the Nation of Israel. This insight into our role, was through the examination of the life of a model gentile in the book of Joshua. Where we learned practical and actionable steps on how we are to act towards God’s nation and how to strengthen their faith.

"In Christos", as this sermon is titled, or in the heart of The Father. That is the mindset from which Paul, Moses, and Jesus could not only wish themselves cut off for the sake of their people but showed us a lifestyle that demonstrated this conviction by the laying down of their lives. As we were challenged by Pastor Eric, this is the same mindset we are supposed to live in, yet an honest assessment yields the fact we spend the vast majority of the time focused only on things that affect us or are about us and not about what God wants. This presents our need for transformation & the regeneration of our minds and hearts. We pray that you to would strive to take on the same nature and attitude of Christ by the same forsaking of your own thoughts and desires to be in the mind, attitude ,and actions of Christ.

What incredible times we are living in as we are getting ever-increasing clarity of the will of God for His people, the Nation of Israel. “Underground Railroad” delivered by Pastors Wade and Matthew, helped answer the question of the reason for the establishment of One Association Europe and the role that we play in the overall plan of God to see the fulfillment of what He said He would do for His people, Israel. Through examining the scriptures from the right end of the book, we understand what God said would happen to His people, the realities of what is to come, and the commitment that we as gentiles are making to serve Israel today, and in the days to come. We are building the Underground Railroad.

How do you read it? How we read the word determines if we live life based on giving the Lord what he wants or if we live our Christian life solely driven by what pleases us. The Tanakh instructs us not only about the family story, but about God's heart and what he wants to inherit. God will inherit his people Israel and as a result of their salvation, all the Gentiles that have been joined to Israel. We are learning to read the bible from the right end and come away with God's heart that inspires our daily actions. Brothers Adam Corra, Paul Rosales, and Andrew Tisdale encouraged us in this heartfelt message to engage with the Tanakh and to do what it says.

Reversing Ignorance preached by Pastor Judah and Pastor Nik opens our eyes us to the reality of the ignorance that well-meaning Christians have had towards the Word of God - specifically regarding the Nation of Israel and God‘s plan for them. Walking through the Bible from the right end of the funnel, starting in Genesis, we can see the pattern of the contraction and expansion process that God uses in His ultimate plan of salvation through the lineage of His chosen people, the Jews. Now more than ever, as the days grow darker, we as the adopted sons into this Jewish faith need to form convictions based on what the Word of God says will happen in the days to come and how He will bring salvation to His nation. Today is the day to stand with the Nation of Israel, and it is only with them that we will inherit complete salvation and experience the Resurrection of the Dead.

The Tanakh, the Bible is first and foremost a family story. It starts with the man Abraham, and continues throughout his promised lineage, the people of Israel. This sermon entitled "Adopted Not Co-opted: The Right End of the Funnel" encouraged us to look at the word of God from that perspective in order to truly understand God's heart and God's plan. Only through this lens, can we properly understand our place in the family story and what we must do.

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

We have reached a place in our day and time where it is no longer acceptable to be uninformed about God’s People, the Land He has given them, and the Plan that He has destined for them. This sermon entitled “The Ittai Doctrine” is more than just a sermon, it is a way of life meant to inspire us gentile graft-ins to the original mandate and responsibility by which we professed in our faith in Yeshua. This mandate is a call to rise up and to take our stand with the people of God; the Nation of Israel. Regardless of what it means for us, life or death, we will not renounce nor deny the biblical promises to the line of Abraham and his descendants. God has placed His name on His people and He will prove himself faithful by redeeming the entire Nation of Israel that He has chosen!

Unwavering Loyalty. That is what is required at a time deep convictions on God's promises to Israel are far and few between. We stand with the Nation of Israel and Jewish people everywhere. The one through whom all things were and for whom all things were made came in Jewish flesh and will return as the Jewish King. As Gentiles it is our prerogative to stand with and for God's nation, regardless of what may come as a result. Masterfully so, brothers Asad Robinson, Rob Barnett, and Abimbola Daramola showed us through Matthew 25 that how we treat the least of Jesus's jewish brothers is how we treat him. Dig down past all the rubble of public opinion and the flood of dissipation in our day, and build your house upon the foundation of the Jewish nation.
