LRPC Sermon Archives

We've explored five ways to be a blessing: Prayer, Listening, Eating, and Serving. These actions are vital, showing love without saying a word. But is only being kind enough?

The final step is the most challenging: Share your Story.

We often stop ourselves because we feel unqualified or afraid of imposing. But sharing your story is simply humbly telling someone what changed your life. You don't need all the answers, and a little awkwardness is worth it if it helps someone find hope.

Kindness gets people's attention; your story points them to the source of your hope. We have to move beyond just hoping people find their way back and actually help them.

We'll equip you with a simple, three-part way to compose and confidently share the difference-maker in your life.

It is Reformation Sunday and also week 5 of our series, How to Bless Your Neighbor.

Our mission is to Love God, Love Others, with No Limits, and we do that by being a blessing to the people God has put in our lives.

This week, we dive into the first 'S' in our B.L.E.S.S. acronym: Serve. We are going to offer a challenge for us all to embrace a radical paradigm shift—a move from a crown to an apron—just as Jesus demonstrated when he washed his disciples' feet. Jesus, the King of Kings, lowered himself to the lowest act of service, teaching us that to be great, we must first serve.

This isn't just about kind gestures; it's about a total shift in how we approach our spouse, co-workers, and community. We also take a moment to discuss the vital regional ministry of Heartfelt Radio and the power of supporting Christian outreach beyond our local walls.

Are you ready to stop hoping people find their way back to God and start helping?

Discover the revolutionary power of service!

We're pausing our "How to Bless Your Neighbor" (B.L.E.S.S.) series briefly this week to bring you a truly vital message on perseverance and assignment.

This week's word  from Pastor Noah Herrin challenges us with a vital question: Are you faithful to the finish? Drawing inspiration from the life of Noah, we are reminded: Starting things is easy. Finishing things is biblical. If you’ve been feeling weary in your commitment to B.L.E.S.S. your neighbors, or tempted to trade your God-given assignment for a man-made opportunity, this message is for you.

We’ll learn why God’s measurement of success is faithfulness—not comparison! A Moment of Thanks and Prayer:

Before the message, we share a moment of profound gratitude! We celebrate the wonderful news of the safe return of the 20 remaining living hostages in Israel after 737 days in captivity. This is a true answered prayer, reminding us of the power of our collective faith! We pray for the safe return of the deceased hostages and for lasting peace in the region, standing on the promise: “The Lord sets prisoners free.” (Psalm 146:7)

About Pastor Noah: Noah is a 30-year-old lead pastor, author, and communicator based in Nashville, TN. He has a passion to talk about the person who changed his life: Jesus. For over 10 years Noah has been a trusted voice to followers of Jesus around the globe, speaking at churches, universities, and conferences. In 2023 Noah and his wife Maddy started Way Church in the heart of Nashville, where they saw over 600 people accept Christ in the first year. Noah has written two books: bestseller Holy Habits and Welcome to Manhood. Noah and Maddy have three kids: Lion, Mila, and Navy.

Welcome to Week 4 of our series, How to Bless Your Neighbor! 👋

This week, we're diving into the third practice in the B.L.E.S.S. acronym: Eating. You read that right—sharing a meal isn't just a fun social activity; it's a profound way to live out the mission of Jesus! Let's discover how Jesus used shared meals—even with the most despised people of his day—to affirm their worth and bring healing.

Our Big Idea? In order to BLESS our neighbor, Jesus invites us to share meals together.

What You'll Discover:

In Our Community: Flags of Fellowship 🇮🇱 Before the message, we share a powerful highlight from last Sunday, where our community gathered to place 1,200 Flags of Fellowship on our lawn. This act stands as a visual sign of our unwavering support for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and a solemn remembrance of the victims of the October 7, 2023, attacks.

A Prayer for Peace 🙏 We also pause to lift up the Middle East, offering a prayer for the safe and swift return of all hostages and for God’s wisdom to secure a lasting peace agreement between Hamas and Israel. #

We all know the pain of feeling unheard—that feeling someone is just "waiting to speak" instead of truly listening. But the simple act of listening is the key to our mission!

This week, we continue How to BLESS Your Neighbor by focusing on the "L"—Listen.

Jesus showed us that being heard is close to being loved when He stopped to hear the blind beggar (Luke 18:35-43) and engaged the man at Bethesda (John 5:1-9). He proves that giving attention is the first act of love. We'll learn how to overcome the barrier of "waiting to speak" and, like Paul in Athens, tune in to the needs around us (Acts 17).

Don't just walk past the opportunities! Learn how to truly listen and connect with others.

PLUS: This Sunday, we're celebrating the Flags of Fellowship, recognizing our support for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in solemn remembrance of October 7, 2023. @IfcjOrg

Challenge for the Week: Make your prayer simple: “Jesus, help me to listen today.”

#BLESSYourNeighbor #ListenFirst #JesusListens #LoveYourNeighbor #FlagsOfFellowship #IFCJ #Oct7Remembrance

Challenge: This week, use your BLESS Card to write down the people God is calling you to pray for. It all starts with a simple conversation with Him.
