Many times in life we are given warnings and chances to take a path for the better and yet at times we decide to ignore the warning and look past the new chance to make a change and we find ourselves full of worry.

Our Second week of Journey To Jerusalem focuses on how we can look past distractions and focus on our destinations.

This is week 4 of our series Mission Minded. We see in the teachings of Jesus, we are referred to as trees that will produce good fruits or trees that produce bad fruits. Would you choose to eat a rotten fruit over a good fruit? would you invest money into a house with a really bad foundation? why as humans do we sometimes make choices like this with our souls? What foundation we build our lives o...

Week 3 of Mission Minded we explore the importance of silence and solitude. During the public ministry of Jesus He often went out into a quiet place to spend time in prayer. Jesus calls us to follow Him if we are going to be mission minded, we must desire a place where we can find silence and a time when we can rest in solitude with God the creator of all. We look at scriptures Luke 5:15-16 and Ps...

This is week 2 of Mission Minded! Not every plan of our own goes the way we thought it would, but God's plan is a plan that we can depend on and trust in. We see Jesus continue to show us the mission and the proof that this plan and purpose for our lives is important. This helps us look less at our own plans and leads us to be mission minded with the plan laid out by God. A plan that will inv...

When we ourselves seek God and His kingdom first, it over pours into our liv...

As we conclude our 5 week series of One Another we explore the importance of addressing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We also uncover the value of being thankful at all times. The scripture we dive into is Ephesians 5:15-20.

Week 4 in our series One Another we discuss the importance of building one another up and not causing one another to stumble. We also focus in on our calling to live in Harmony with each other. We ask the question... What could we give up that we like, to help people move towards the God we love? We look at scriptures like Romans 12:16, Romans 14:13-21, and Philippians 2:3.

This was week 3 of our One Another series! We disccussed that through the freedom we have, what we do with that freedom matters. With freedom will we do things that could devour and destroy one another or will we love one another while carrying out the calling on our lives as the church to serve one other? We ask ourselves who could we be serving more? We look at scriptures like Galatians 5:13-15,...

In Week 2 of our One Another series we continue to look at more commands to carry out to better love one another as the church. We see how we are to help restore one another like a broken bone, there is a proper healthy way of doing this. We focus on how to carry one another's burdens in sin,  how to confess to one another, and the importance of forgiving one another. We open up to scriptures...

This talk is the first of our 5 week series "One Another." There is approximately 59 commands in the New Testament guiding us how we should live with one another and love one another, while striving to be devoted to one another as a church family.  We take a look at scriptures like John 13:34-35, Matthew 5:46-47, and Acts 2:42-47.

This message we take time to dive into our third Core Value, Love Discipleship. We have all had teachers, mentors, or coaches in our lives to help us with things. It is a must we have these positions filled for our spiritual lives as well! There is a calling on our lives to be disciples, that make disciples, that make disciples. We focus on scripture verses in Matthew 28:18-20 and Romans 10:13-15.

This message shows us the importance to love one another. We look at Luke 10:25-37 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 to understand we are called to love people and even taught what a Godly love looks like and how all things should be done with this love. Understanding this we can see the call to reach out to our city and to all ends of the earth.

This message we talked about the more we know God's love for us, the more we will also love Him in return. We also explained how sometimes we need to learn to love some things less so we can love Jesus more. A core value at Lanterns church is to "Love God."

This message is about the Light Of The World. We discuss John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14-16. As we understand who God is we learn who we are called to be as followers of Christ. There is a light that is available to all of us who put our trust in Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that He died and rose again for us. Through this we are saved, our lives will be changed. Check out the very first...
