LCBC Church Messages

When it comes to being perfect, we know that we’ll never get there. But we can make the mistake of thinking we’re qualified to judge others—even when we’re not. And the only person qualified to condemn us has chosen to love us instead. Date: April 8, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Rough Crowd][1]

Our world can be a rough place. But in the darkest moments, we are closer to the light than we think. In our hardest moments, we don’t just need someone special—we need a savior. Date: April 1, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Easter At LCBC][1]

There’s a myth out there that says you have to have it all together to be a follower of Jesus, but the truth is just the opposite: following Jesus isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being on the right side of the atonement plan. Jesus came to pay for our imperfections so we don’t have to—and close the gap between what we deserve and what we receive. Date: March 25, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft...

We are all on a journey that’s influenced by the circumstances we’re in, the choices we make, and the people we know. But there’s one more factor that determines the direction of our lives. Join us as we celebrate the 171 people who have chosen to go “all in” as a follower of Jesus this weekend! Date: March 18, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Do the Work][1]

We’ve heard that 1,000 small steps in the right direction can lead us to a remarkable life, but the same is true of the opposite—if we’re not careful, our private choices can lead to public collapses. But what if there’s a way to avoid collapsing...if we’re willing to do the work? Date: March 11, 2018 Speaker: Jason Mitchell Series: [Do the Work][1]

We all want to be remarkable people. But there’s one aspect of being remarkable that we often overlook: the people we surround ourselves with. The truth is, we can’t do remarkable alone—and in order to keep those around who make us the best we can be, we have to be willing to do the work. Date: March 4, 2018 Speaker: John Wilkinson Series: [Do the Work][1]

We all want to build a remarkable life, but there’s more to getting success than just wanting it. When we commit to doing the same small things over and over again, we can work towards the lasting impact that comes with it. Are you willing to do the work? Date: February 25, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Do the Work][1]

For the start of our Do the Work series, we look back at an interview with former Olympic athlete Scott Hamilton. After living with a series of health issues, professional ice skater Scott Hamilton shares how overcoming personal obstacles in his life led him to know and trust Jesus. Date: February 18, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Do the Work][1]

Are you and your spouse soulmates or just roommates? When it comes to marriage, there are six ways to know your spouse in a way that makes them feel seen and safe, and one way that makes the two of you one. Date: February 11, 2018 Speaker: Matt Parks Series: [Marriage][1]

We all deal with conflict in our relationships. But what if it’s not about if we fight, but how we fight? When we learn to fight fair, we can fight for a resolution instead of a victory. Are you ready to fight for your marriage? Date: February 4, 2018 Speaker: Jason Mitchell Series: [Marriage][1]

Men and women are created differently. Our wants and needs from our spouse don’t always line up—but the bottom line is the same: we all want to be loved. How can we be sure we’re giving our partner what they need to feel successful in our marriage? Date: January 28, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Marriage][1]

It’s easy to be happy in our marriage when the feelings are fresh. But what do we do when the feelings fade? We all have a choice when it comes to how we view our relationships. Will you choose the habit of happiness? Date: January 14, 2018 Speaker: Jason Mitchell Series: [Marriage][1]

There are three sides of love that make up what we define as the key to a happy marriage. But how do we balance each side and make sure we’re thriving in our marriage—not just surviving? Date: January 14, 2018 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: [Marriage][1]

Whether we believe it or not, we all have expectations when it comes to marriage. But what if what we expect is actually hindering us from getting what we need out of our relationship with our spouse? When we debunk the biggest myths about marriage, we can start to see why the truth about marriage means more than what we hope to get out of it.

When our lives are running smoothly, it’s easy to show respect to those around us. But in stressful situations, it gets tougher to keep our attitudes in check. When we hit our personal Red Zones, those affected the most are often the people closest to us. How can we make sure we’re keeping an eye on what we take in and what we weed out—and what that means when it comes to how we respect others? Da...

We each have an invisible line of standards that we create for other people, and when they don’t measure up, our respect for them lowers. But Jesus called his followers to honor everyone, no matter what we think our standards are. If we’re focused on outdoing each other in the way we honor others, we’ll never lose the honor competition. Date: December 17, 2017 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: All D...

The interactions we have with others can turn quickly from conversation to confrontation. It can be easy to argue our positions, but Jesus calls us to care more about the people than our points. When we’re living in harmony, it means we’re acting in love above all else.

It’s hard to find consistent examples of respect in our world today. Respect can be conditional, it can be insincere, and it can be nonexistent. But Jesus calls us to respect everyone—all the time. If we’re representing Jesus, we need to look at the world through His eyes, and follow His command to respect and value every person in His world. Date: December 3, 2017 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series:...

As followers of Jesus, we are instructed to be rich with our resources, and more specifically, to share the resources we’ve been given with those who need it the most—the fatherless. God is the protector and father of all who are fatherless, including the children experiencing poverty in their everyday lives. When we commit to sharing our resources with children in need, we are committing to being...

How are we loving others with our time? We all have the ability to influence others with our roles, our resources, and our reputations—it’s how we use that influence that makes a difference. And when we shift our mindset to serving others, we can start using our actions to love like Jesus.

As followers of Jesus, the way we love is crucial. God will always give us what we need when we provide for those who are in need. When we love with our generosity, we’re taking what we’ve been given and giving it to others—and we’re showing Jesus to the world through our willingness to give.

The invisible war that’s raging around us can make it difficult to feel real peace. But God’s given us something greater to bring us the kind of comfort and encouragement we need to feel secure. When we let the Holy Spirit guide us, we give God the power to have the final word.

We’re all familiar with temptation, but do we really understand what’s at stake when we find ourselves in the midst of it? When the devil takes our God-given desires and perverts them, denying them does nothing for us. But when we stand up and face the battle, we can set ourselves up to be rescued by the one who knows us the best. Date: October 22, 2017 Speaker: David Ashcraft Series: Invisible Wa...
