LCC Sunday Messages

The way mothers view their children is unlike anything else in the world. Moms see the best in their kids. They see the potential. They see through eyes of unconditional love. Moms give us a glimpse of God’s great love for us. Today may we give thanks to God for blessing us with moms, who help us see God a little more clearly.

Are you in need of healing? Have you been struggling with an addiction? Do you need a breakthrough in your life, your marriage, or your family? Jesus still heals. He still delivers. He is still mending broken hearts and setting captives free. He is still the One Who moves mountains. Trust Him. Surrender to Him. Devote yourself to prayer, and be ready for God to do what only He can do.

Today’s culture is filled with examples of rebellion. People who refuse to submit to any authority but their own. The human heart is rebellious and sinful to the core and lawlessness appears to abound. What is the remedy for this? God’s word is clear, the way to overcome rebellion and sin is found in Christ alone. Jesus has made a way for us to be forgiven, reconciled to God. Our rebellion ends wh...

Family matters. God instituted the family as the building block of society. Family is precious, and God has spoken clearly in His word about how our families are to function. Unfortunately, in today's world, an assault on families is under way. How are we to respond? How are we to make our families stronger? As we continue our series in Colossians, may we not only listen but apply the word to our...

This morning, we’re going to look into the owner’s manual and see how the One who created us expects us to treat one another - specifically, husbands and wives. After all, He designed and made us, and He brought the first man and woman together to become husband and wife. Certainly, He knows what is best for us, right? And this even when declaring that wives are to submit to their husbands?

What am I going to do? Ever ask yourself that question? Of course, you have. Sometimes it’s asked about the most mundane of things, and other times, it is asked in our moments of deepest crisis. Today, may we ask it ourselves as believers, “What are we going to do?” Will we trust and obey the word of God, listening to its wisdom? Will we be the encouragers to one another that we are called to be?...

What a beautiful Easter morning! Yet, on the backside of this beautiful day, there are those who are broken, grieving and feel little hope. So where do we turn when heartbreak comes our way? Where do we find peace when we’re feeling none? Where do we find hope when it feels as if the bottom has dropped out of our lives? The answer is found in the real meaning of Easter.

2,000 years ago in Jerusalem the crowds cheered the entrance of their long awaited messiah. He was a miracle worker who they believed had come to free them from the oppressive rule of the Romans. Was Jesus the king that was to come to restore Israel? Sadly, the same voices that hailed him as king would in a few days claim they had no king but Caesar. The shouts of "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes...

Today is a special day, because we have set aside this time to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Life Church. As we look back over the last 5 years and look ahead to the future, we want one message to be loud and clear. It is all because of Jesus. It’s all for Him and He deserves all the glory. God ’s Kingdom is always advancing and He uses His people to advance it. Anyone who is willing to submit...

Jesus. Is there any name so wonderful? Today, as we continue our journey through Colossians we will see the vital importance of the word of Christ dwelling in our lives as believers. His message changes everything.

Have you noticed? There’s a hint of spring in the air, which means it’s almost time for baseball. This season, many talented players will take to the field. Yet there is someone who, although he will not play a position, pick up a bat, or put on a glove, will have more influence and will hold more authority than all the players and managers. Who is that? The umpire. Did you know that the followers...

Over the last several weeks we have focused on the character of a believer in Jesus Christ. What should a believer look like? We are called to be compassionate, kind, humble, gentle and patient. We have talked about the power of forgiveness and how we, as a forgiven people, must forgive as well. We have seen the importance of love and today we will see that it is God's desire that we allow love to...

Valentine’s Day. Did you know that leading up to today’s heart-shaped holiday, approximately 450 million dollars will be spent on some 58 million pounds of chocolate in addition to the 150 million dollars on cards and gifts? So, is this what love is about, cards and chocolate? Or is there something more? Exactly what is this thing called love?

A forgiven heart is a free heart. A forgiven heart is one that extends forgiveness no matter what. A forgiven heart beats in sync wit the heart of Christ, showing love to all and forgiving even when it seems impossible. Today, as we continue our series in Colossians, let's look at the forgiven heart and see what makes it tick.

We've all been there. We have to attend an event that requires us to dress up and we often ask, "What am I going to wear?" Some may ask this on a daily basis as they prepare for work, while others simply put on their uniform and go. Did you know as Christians there are certain things we need to put on everyday? It's true. Today, as we continue in Colossians, we will see that God desires us to clot...

In the verses from Colossians we will be examining this morning, the Holy Spirt speaks through the Apostle Paul to help us see that our every want, every drive and every passion is to be submitted to and governed by God’s rule and His kingdom authority. So, does God simply want to control us, or could this be His way of creating a masterpiece?

Well, Christmas break is over and the new year is underway. It's back to the daily grind for students and parents alike. But does it really have to be that way? We don't have to live in the patterns of the past, but in Christ we can experience His resurrection life hear and now. It's time to fix our minds on Jesus. It's time to come back to life.

Ever feel overwhelmed and like life is caving in on you? Maybe it’s time for a change, the kind of change that only Jesus can offer.

Well, Christmas has come and gone for another year. We trust that your Christmas was blessed and that Christ was the center of all things. However, for so many Americans, the Christmas season ends with a bang, and then come the bills. Some have a mountain of debt to pay off, hopefully before next Christmas. Then it all starts over again. No one likes debt. And the greatest debt, one that we all ow...

Emmanuel, God with us! So, did you know that God’s loving you and Jesus’ coming into the world for you as the sinless lamb of God was not an afterthought or a decision that was made 2,000 years ago? The truth is, God loved you and me enough to make this wonderful provision His primary concern even before He created the cosmos!

“What is truth?” These words were spoken to Jesus by Pontius Pilate just before His crucifixion. And today the question still resounds. What is truth? The world today says that truth is relative, but as Christians we believe Jesus is the source of all truth. Truth has been revealed to us through the Bible, God’s Holy Word! As we continue our journey through Colossians, may we live as Paul admonish...

Encouragement is awesome! Everyone appreciates having their heart uplifted by words of hope and reassurance. But do we realize just how life changing encouragement can be? This morning we’ll see, as we continue our journey through the opening verses of chapter two of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae.

What’s your purpose? What are you passionate about? What is the driving force in your life? What do you think about most? What is your objective and end to be obtained? It’s good to have drive and purpose, especially when we’re motivated to look beyond ourselves and the temporal stuff of life and concentrate on doing things that matter most, things of eternal significance.

Have you ever stopped to thing about what it truly means to be a Christian? Have you ever pondered the words, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." What a statement! Today, we will look at what it means to be a Christian and to experience the life, love, hope, and joy that Jesus gives to all who put their faith in Him.

Some of us know what it means to reconcile a checkbook. It’s to ensure that our figures match the bank’s figures so that what we have going out is in agreement with what we actually have. To reconcile means to create agreement and harmony. However, more important than balancing our checkbook is our being reconciled to God; and this morning, we’re going to see that this is what Jesus has provided f...
