Life Upc's Past Services

Join us for a powerful and moving message from Bro. James Tingle in this episode of our podcast, recorded during a past Sunday Service at Life UPC Mount Pleasant. In this profound sermon, Bro. Tingle explores how true victory in our spiritual walk is found in the peace of God.

Drawing from Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers," he reminds us that peace isn't just something we wait for; it's something we must actively pursue and protect. When the enemy attacks our peace, his ultimate goal is to destroy our witness and rob us of our gratitude. Bro. Tingle shares personal testimonies of deliverance, the importance of guarding our hearts with all diligence, and how maintaining a posture of thankfulness can keep us anchored in God's will.

Speaker Bro. Fred Carrol

The message delivered by Evangelist Chris Stevenson focuses on "What the Tempter Wants the Most," exploring how the enemy attempts to subvert one's identity and life through temptation.

How do you remain faithful when the fight gets fierce? In this episode, Pastor Burks delivers a powerful message on the spiritual discipline required to stand strong in difficult times. He challenges believers to stop compartmentalizing their faith, emphasizing that total consecration to God is the only way to keep the enemy from gaining a foothold in our lives.

Touching on the foundational power of Acts 2:38, the vital need to manage our mental landscape with the "helmet of salvation," and the true cost of kingdom living through self-denial, Pastor Burks provides a clear roadmap for spiritual victory. It is time to move past polite "manners" and unbelief, and step fully onto the battlefield armed with praise, obedience, and unwavering faithfulness.

Is avoiding the topic of hell truly compassionate, or is it merely cruelty dressed up as compassion? In this episode, Bro. Ashyr and Shawn Carrington tackle a subject often met with a "great silence" in the modern church: the reality of eternal judgment.

If there is a ditch at the end of the road, the kindest driver is the one who warns others. Drawing from the stark realities of Luke 16 and the story of the rich man and Lazarus, this message examines the withdrawal of common graces, the permanence of the "great chasm," and the sheer necessity of repentance.

This is not just a theological discussion; it is an urgent call to action. Believers are challenged to examine their own witness and recognize that staying quiet about judgment is often just "unbelief wearing good manners." Tune in for a compelling plea to persuade, warn, and share the truth of the gospel without delay.

Are you merely attending church, or are you possessed by a worldwide cause? In this challenging and timely message titled "Committed to the Cause," the Pastor pushes us to examine our level of dedication to the Kingdom of God and challenges believers to step into a life of absolute, unwavering commitment.

In a world filled with modern idolatry—where entertainment, social media, and algorithms constantly compete for our attention—this sermon is a wake-up call to control our spiritual "airspace." Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Noah and David, the message concludes with a powerful call to total surrender. We must be willing to sacrifice for the cause of Christ, recognizing that any other path ultimately leads to spiritual bondage.

The harvest is plentiful, but are we prepared for the work? In this compelling main service message titled "The Harvest," Bro. Tim Elmore delivers an urgent call for the church to become active laborers in God's Kingdom.

Drawing from Amos 9:13, Bro. Elmore emphasizes the critical need to build our lives on a solid foundation, preparing our resources and our hearts for God’s work. He warns against the danger of procrastination—using the biblical example of Felix—and challenges believers to step into "instant service" rather than waiting for a more convenient season. The message also takes a practical turn, focusing on the crucial role of parents in creating a godly influence in the home and allowing God to mold the next generation.

What does it take to see a true spiritual harvest in our lives and our communities? In this powerful Sunday School lesson, Bro. James Tingle dives into the "Law of the Harvest," teaching that we must be diligent in our sowing if we ever expect to reap.

Bro. Tingle reminds the church that our focus must remain united on the harvest of souls rather than carnal distractions. When we lay aside discord and personal conflicts, we make room for God to move. He also breaks down the true purpose of spiritual gifts—not for personal exaltation, but to serve the sick, help the downcast, and shine a light into the darkness. The message closes with a strong call to practical obedience, showing that lasting victory is found in uncompromising submission to God’s will.
