Freedom is a gift—but what do we do with it? This weekend, as we celebrate 250 years of independence, we'll also look at a freedom we use every single day: the freedom to speak. Our words have the power to build up or tear down, bring healing or cause harm. In James 3, we'll discover what God says about the responsibility that comes with the words we choose. If you've ever said somethi...

What if the issue isn't whether you have faith... but whether your faith is changing the way you live? James doesn't pull any punches. He challenges us to move beyond what we say we believe and examine what our lives actually reflect. Join us as we tackle one of the most debated passages in Scripture and discover what living faith really looks like.

Some show up in their Sunday best. Some show up in thrift-store finds. Some show up carrying burdens no one can see. The truth is, it's easy to make assumptions based on what we see on the outside. But in James 2, we're reminded that God's love doesn't play favorites. He sees beyond appearances, beyond status, beyond first impressions—and He calls us to do the same. Let's explore what it looks lik...

A mirror was never meant to just inform you—it was meant to move you. The same is true of God's Word. Too often we settle for knowing what God says without allowing it to change how we live. Real faith isn't measured by what we hear—it's revealed by what we do. We're launching What He Said, a powerful new summer series through the Book of James. Together, we'll discover how God...

What if God wants to use you to make an impact far beyond what you can see? The Church was never meant to stand still. We're called to carry the hope of Jesus into our neighborhoods, our communities, and the world. We're sharing how God is using Landing Place Church to reach people across the globe—and how you can be part of what He's doing. Come hear stories of life change, discover t...

We all want our lives to make a difference… but sometimes we wonder where to even start.  What if changing someone’s world could begin with one simple yes? LPC is partnering with Compassion International for Compassion Sunday. You’ll hear an incredible story of hope and transformation from Owen, whose life was changed through the faithfulness of a sponsor. For many families, sponsoring a child is...

We don’t all start from the same place. For some families, a full fridge feels normal. For others, it feels impossible. What if the things we take for granted could become someone else’s answered prayer? What if the Church became known for bringing hope in practical ways? We’re talking about what it looks like to care for people beyond ourselves and make a real difference where it matters most.

For many of us, church has become a place where we sit, take it in, and head back to life unchanged. But Jesus never invited us into something passive—He called us into something personal, alive, and on the move. We’re starting a new series called On the Move, and it might just shift how you see your everyday life. Not as something to watch from a seat, but something you’re sent into with purpose.

If everything God says about us is true… why do we still have moments where what we feel doesn’t match what He says? Maybe it’s not that our identity has changed—it’s that too many other voices have gotten loud. Come discover what it looks like to actually live from who God says we are.

Ever feel like you’re not qualified to follow Jesus? Like if people really knew you… they’d see you don’t measure up? That voice whispering “you’re not enough” isn’t truth—it’s a lie. This week, we’re exposing the lies of imposter syndrome and stepping into the identity Jesus has already secured for us. You don’t have to earn what’s already been given.

Ever notice how many times in a week something tries to tell you who you are? Not just the obvious scams or fake messages—but the quieter ones too… the lies, the doubts, the labels that don’t actually belong to you. We’re continuing our “Real ID” series—looking at where identity was first distorted, how it still shows up today, and how Jesus restores what’s been lost. If you’ve ever questioned you...

You can’t board a plane without the right ID… but so many of us are walking through life with the wrong identity. Defined by what we do. What we’ve been through. What others have said. But what does God say? We’re starting a brand new series, Real ID—and you’re invited to come discover it with us.

Easter wasn’t the finish line—it was the beginning. Now it’s time to take the next step… to go public with your faith and declare what Jesus has done in your life. We’re celebrating baptisms at Landing Place Church, and there’s nothing more powerful than watching lives transformed and faith made visible. If you’ve said yes to Jesus but haven’t been baptized yet, this is your moment. Don’t wait—ste...

Easter is almost here, and you’re invited As we look at the empty tomb, we’re not just remembering what happened to Jesus—we’re asking a powerful question: What do you believe? Come celebrate the hope and truth of the resurrected Jesus with us.

Some days feel ordinary… until they’re not. The kind of moment that starts like any other—and ends up changing everything. As we wrap up Cross Examined we look at the Roman centurion who stood at the cross. What began as just another assignment… became a life-altering encounter with Jesus.

Join us as we step into an unexpected moment in the life of Simon of Cyrene, and discover how the disruptions in our own lives might actually be invitations to draw closer to God.

There’s something in all of us that longs for justice. So when we hear the story of an innocent Jesus being condemned… and a guilty man like Barabbas walking free… it feels deeply unfair. But that moment reveals something powerful about the cross. Jesus didn’t just die for us. He died in our place.

Easter invites us to look again at the cross. At the people who were there. At the words Jesus spoke. At the weight of what happened that Friday. This year we’re slowing down and taking a closer look at the story. Because when you truly examine the cross… it has a way of examining your own heart too. If you’ve ever wondered what the cross really means for your life, this series is for you.

God created us for good works. Good works is the sacrificial acts of serving others in Jesus name. Serving is not the SAME for everyone, but it is EXPECTED of everyone.

Of all the parables Jesus told, the Good Samaritan is one of the most famous… but what if the real challenge starts before the story? A lawyer asks, “Who is my neighbor?” Not to learn — but to justify himself. And if we’re honest… we’ve all got a little lawyer in us. We want the answer that makes us feel good. Jesus gives the answer that transforms us. If we’re going to love like Jesus, it begins...

We label everything. Successful. Difficult. Outsider. Leader. We see the outside… and assume we know the inside. But Jesus never reduced people to categories. He saw past the label and met the person. We’re continuing Love Like Jesus—and discovering what it looks like to love people the way He does. It might just change the way you see everyone.

How would things change in our interactions if we took the time to really listen? This week we're looking at the example of Jesus as he intentionally listened to someone and how it changed everything for them.

Revival doesn’t end when church is over. It’s meant to follow us into real life. But what does that actually look like? What are we carrying from Sunday into our streets, schools, and workplaces? Join us for a brand new series Love Like Jesus— an honest, practical look at how Jesus loved people outside the church building… even the messy, complicated, hard-to-love ones. If you’ve ever wondered how...

We’ve been asking big questions lately—about revival, the heart, and the church. This time, we’re asking one more: What happens when revival leaves the building? Join us as we finish our Awakening series and step into the calling God has placed on all of us—to pour out what He’s poured in.

But what if awakening starts much closer… right inside us? Last week, we leaned into personal awakening—how God gently revives what’s grown quiet, weary, or asleep in our own hearts. This week, the question gets even more personal: What happens when a whole church wakes up together? In Scripture, God speaks differently to each church—not to shame them, but to lovingly call them back to what matter...
