LCM Sermons

This message entitled "The Heroic Cup", preached by Pastor Judah and Elder Eric was all kinds of insightful, impactful, and revelatory. Beginning with a live demonstration by some of the best and brightest in our church, we examined the significance of sharing a "cup" or experience with someone. The gentlemen brought to mind how Jesus called his disciples to share of this same kind of cup because he provided something supernatural to partake in. As we engaged with the story of Judah (because we are Judah and his brothers) it made this all the more impactful because we learned that at our lowest moments, he is the "Lord of breaking through" and it's exactly because of these moments that we must drink of the cup the Lord has provided for us! Sharing of the heroic cup that has been provided for us will result in that same cup overflowing with life for everyone around us, just as Jesus promised.

Called to Change One Life at a Time!

“The Adullam Event” delivered by Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade, walked us through the life of David and the events that took place in the cave of Adullam. David, a man after God’s heart, demonstrated a fidelity towards the men around him. He took men who were in debt, distressed, bitter of soul and raised them up to be mighty men! Men who would do great exploits and become like the King they were following. When we seek to make our brothers great, elevating them above ourselves, inspiring fidelity, and kingly actions, we become kings along side with them!

This sermon entitled "Prophetic Vision" was soul stirring, preached by two brothers that have spent time with the Father in order to deliver it to us. Following up from concepts on Sunday, brothers Justin Treaster and Marlin Sosa talked to us about how it is that we attain prophetic vision and a righteous reticle for our brothers. It all begins with having a personal vision of the Lord's character that causes us to cry out for personal transformation first that will then allow us to see what the Lord what's to do for our brothers. He will give us vision when we do this!

“Misplaced Enmity” preached by Pastor Nik and Pastor Payton, was an amazing word that centered us on being our brother’s keeper. These Pastors helped us to properly adjust our reticles so that we might exalt our brothers above ourselves, with God reigning over us both. They taught us how to deal with misplaced enmity that leads to cancerous areas and development in our growth and relationship with our brothers. We are going to view our brothers through the lens of the righteous, fighting for each other, and seeking first His kingdom and righteousness which means that will be seeking our brothers!

Brothers Paul Rosales & Carlos Rueda preached this message from their heart & moved all of ours to action! This sermon entitled "Brother's Keeper, Father's Pleaser" spurred us on to a right perspective towards one another, based on a right relationship to our Father. Oneness with the father and a desire to partner with him helps us to grab ahold of our genuine identity as sons. This produces good sons, and good sons become good brothers. Let this message inspire you to bring many sons to glory because this revelation is so powerfully working within you.

“Judah and His Brothers” is a timely sermon for us to grab ahold of. Often times when we read about the sons of Israel in the book of Genesis, we put ourselves in the shoes of Joseph instead of who we actually reflect and resemble in the story most days of our life. The who being Judah and his brothers. Elder Eric and Pastor Judah helped us grapple with the reality that when we are envious, jealous, or find ourselves in contention with our brothers, it is because we don’t understand our heavenly Father and do not understand our identity as sons. The kingdom of God has always been built on brotherhood and the Lord is transforming our hearts to see that the only way to advance the Kingdom is at the cost of laying down our lives so that our brothers may find life!

This past Sunday's sermon entitled "Defeating Disparity, Creating Equals" inspired us all to take a deeper look into how we see one another and what our responsibility is to one another. Through wrestling to grasp these concepts, we are discovering to an even greater degree our interdependence on one another. Brothers Abimbola Daramola and Justin Linton explore this topic even further in this message entitled "Strictly Fidelity". Like John, our entire existence should be to see the Sons of God to be revealed. This necessitates though, that we rid ourselves of the idolatry of self. Only then can we know what it is practically to die that our brothers might rise to be all that they were meant to be.

“Defeating Disparity Creating Equals” was a refreshing reminder that the work of the kingdom that we get to partake in is not in vain. We were blessed by Jen and Abby as they shared the testimonies of what the Lord is doing all around the world in Indonesia, Italy, Albania, and Romania and the lives that are being changed. Elder Eric then walked us through the incredible responsibility that we have to the brotherhood of believers by speaking life into our brothers. When we demonstrate this kind of faith in the character of our heavenly Father and what he has said about our brothers, we never let it go and we continue to fight for them to be all that God has called them to be. This is what causes dry bones to rattle and rise, and will produce a greater level of love, unity, and fidelity towards one another. This is how we are “Defeating Disparity Creating Equals”!

In this time of our preparation for the days ahead, it's seem that the Lord is intent on increasing the unity among brothers. This message entitled "One More Time", preached by Pastor Payton Parsons and brother Justin Treaster, reminds us why the Lord gives us strength or ability. We learned that the reason that God anoints a family and strengthens them is for their brothers and sisters to their left and right. This is a source of great encouragement because in the natural we know that our strength may wain, but we were reminded that for our brothers the Lord will strengthen us again! Our cry will be "Lord, One More Time!" for the sake of the brothers and for the sake of the nations that he is sending us to. In this, we can know that he will give us what they need.
