LCBC Church Messages

When things in our lives aren't going as planned, we ask two questions: "Why?" and "Where is God?" But when we learn to value God's providence over our preferences, we can start to see the truth in what he has for us over what we want for ourselves. It may be Friday in your world, but Sunday is coming. Date: April 21, 2019 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [When Purpose Hides][1]

Shame strikes at our identity and makes us question who we are. But God has already told us the truth—if we're in Christ, we are chosen, purchased, free, and forgiven. Are you willing to accept the grace you've been offered? Date: April 14, 2019 Speaker: Jason Mitchell Series: [God Knows Your Story & He's Not Mad][1]

When we're stuck in our shame, we begin believing the story we tell about ourselves, even if it's not the truth. But Jesus has the antidote to shame—his grace. And when we share our shame, we learn to live un-stuck. Date: March 24, 2019 Speaker: Jason Mitchell Series: [God Knows Your Story & He's Not Mad][1]

Shame can make us believe the lie that what we're labeled as defines who we are. But the truth about who we are rests in what God says about us. Are you ready to get a new label? Date: March 17, 2019 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [God Knows Your Story & He's Not Mad][1]

We've all experienced shame in our lives. But the reality is that God isn't the one keeping us in the shame cycle—we are.

For some of us, prayer feels transactional—we ask when we want something, and when we don't get it, we think there must be something wrong with God or something wrong with us. But what if there was a change in perspective that could actually bring us closer to God, and give us the opportunity to let him change our character, not just our circumstances?

Have you ever realized that who you want to be is far off from who you are? The moments of temptation in our lives can leave us the most vulnerable to pulling away from God.

When do you pray—is it when you want something, when you're lost, or just in emergencies?
