LCM Sermons

To describe this sermon in one word would not do the revelation that was laid out for us justice. “Seize the Day” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Nik, and Pastor Judah is a trumpet sound going off to declare the eminent and very tangible times that we are living in. Through the masterful biblical overview and interconnected scriptures laying out the master plan of God, we were challenged to examine...

The wisdom of God can be plainly seen in the days of creation for those who have eyes to see, just as Psalm 19 declares. As we reflected on Sunday's message, "Back to the Basics", that much is plain to see. What was somewhat revelatory for us was the ways in which the same wisdom that we see in God is supposed to be seen at work in us as his image bearers on the earth. Brothers Gabriel Stephens an...

Like the sons of Issachar, we are learning to discern the times and seasons our Father has laid out for us. In this sermon entitled “Back to the Basics”, we went beyond the surface in Genesis chapter 1 to learn the character of our Father, the historical account of what has built LCM, and the personal application that we all must take hold of, in order to transmit the revelation through the genera...

As we reflected on all that we've learned during our 3 part series (What is a Man? What is a Family? & What is Nation?), we could not help but celebrate the transformation brought about by our father as we have turned with all of our hearts to seek him. We marveled at the growth that has taken place in our lives as result of being challenged with our idolatrous views and re-imaging of God. As a re...

Today, we completed the final installation of our three-part series with the sermon entitled “What is a Nation?”. Pastors Payton and Nik walked us through the scriptures illustrating that God is the one who establishes His nation, and through the life of Abraham, we saw how God bought it about. Although we ourselves are not physical descendants of Abraham, we (as gentiles) have been grafted into t...

At the core of an anointed family, there must be an anointed man who has been given revelation into the fullness of God's character. This anointed man, as he images God, reflecting the deeds of Jesus, gets up every day and puts on Christ. In putting on Christ, he has taken off the base nature of man and is anointed every time he dresses for service. In turn he dresses his family for service and is...

In our second installment of our three-week series, Pastor Matthew and Pastor Wade delivered the perfect word for our day and time. We are being called higher to fully image our Father, whom every family in heaven and earth derives their name. As men, we are called to fully image the King, then teach our families to fully image us, and together as the family unit, we rightly represent the fullness...

As we reflected on Sundays sermon, we focused on what it means to live as an anointed man who reflects God's glorious image. This kind of man holds powerfully to the Word of the Lord and the power of spirit. This kind of man is not easily shaken. Brothers Spencer McLain, Gabe Sutherland, and Paul Rosales led us through the Word to discover the unmoving conviction that every anointed man must stand...

This powerful and transformational sermon is the beginning of 3 weeks of sermons that are focused on displaying the full image of God in each life, without alteration, simplification, or modification. This inaugural sermon puts on full display that men have been created to bear the full image of God in all of His complexity. Real men say, "No!" to things that are distortions and perversions of God...

We are attaining "Combat Readiness" through the preparation of our Good Father and Heavenly Commander, Yahweh Tsabaot. We learned this as we listened to this soul stirring message from brothers Cody Stephens, Paul Rosales, and Marlin Sosa. The holy ground moments, circumcision opportunities, and sea-splitting events are the means by which we participate in the building up of God's army. We saw the...

We love what the Lord is doing in our midst, and we are excited about the things to come! Pastors Nik and Wade walked us through a beautiful gem in the scriptures through the lives of Moses, Joshua, and Jesus. We learned three foundational elements that a believer must have in order to enter into God's war front. This sermon is packed full of revelation and practical application that you will want...

This was truly an eye opening message preached by brothers Justin Treaster and Carlos Rueda. As the sermon was entitled "Lavish Reception", we learned that Peter during his time of faithful service on Earth was looking forward to the time Jesus would receive him into his kingdom. Jesus is way by which we will enter into the kingdom. He is the bodily representation of God the father in a way that w...

Pastor Nik, Pastor Judah, and Brother Treaster brought a powerful word entitled “Effective Yield”. We were called to a hope and to know intimately the one to which we hope. We were confronted with the way we project an anthropomorphic view of man, which is re imaging the divine nature of God down to human qualities, characteristics, and weaknesses. This anthropomorphic view shows up whenever we ch...

Although made in the warrior and shepherd image of our King, we find other behaviors and tendencies that resist the Holy Masculine image given to us by our Father. Our brothers (Gabriel and Abimbola) helped us confront the chief of these behaviors and tendencies, by sharing out of their own personal wrestling’s. From there, they inspired us on how to rise up as the men of God we are called to be....

A clarion call has been sounded and we are marching forward in the direction set by our King! In the sermon “Attractive Opposites”, Pastor Matthew and Pastor Wade helped us see that there is no contrast between being a great warrior and a great shepherd. In fact, both are complementary and essential to each other. This is exactly who our great King is, and we are created in His image. He is the an...

The eyes are the lamp of the body and where our eyes are, there will be the entirety of our focus. Through the word and the spirit, our gaze is being directed towards the ark of God's presence with diligent and consistent intention. It is only when our eyes drift away from his presence that we are enticed by sin, looking to manipulate the light of God instead of thrive in it. Praise God that he se...

What a tremendous gift we experienced this morning. Both Pastors Judah and Nik delivered an honest, challenging, and uplifting word in this sermon entitled “Call to Kingship”. Using the devotion and heart of King David to serve as a model example for us, we are to fix our eyes upon our King and do away with all other suitors and distractions. Our King is on a high mountain, and He is the only one...

In all our time serving the Lord, there is one thing we can all agree on. The Lord is faithful! He has been faithful to hold on to us, faithful to break our bones, and faithful to heal us afterwards. This facet of his character could not be meditated on too much. As we reflected on Sunday's message "The Heart of Asaph" and the propensity of our hearts to decline, we were moved to thankfulness and...

The manifest presence of our King is with us, and he is drawing us to himself by cutting away what does not belong in our lives! As men and women called to walk in integrity with no hidden areas of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves doing what is right without having the right heart posture that the King desires from us. Through the life of Asaph and his written Psalms, we learned about the in...

During a time in our churches history where the body is building itself up and more capable ministers are being raised up, we feel the Lord's approval. Along with that approval, we can also plainly see that he is calling for more fruit from our lives which in turn means more discipline. What is coming into focus isn't our deeds or the things we've done, but it is our 1st love that is being challen...

Jesus said that all men will know we are really his disciples by the love we show toward one another. “Jewel School” preached by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade stirred us to reflect the Oneness of our good Father in the plural unity that we are to have as the body of Christ. We were challenged today to examine the idolatry of self that shows up in the areas of our lives where we are willfully using ou...

We as the body of Christ are learning to operate in the priestly garments that we have been given. We're growing into them as complete the righteous deeds laid before us to accomplish. We are being strengthened in our duties as we are impacted by the revelation that our father has a memorial of us on our brothers shoulders and we can be reminded of our identity as we look at our brothers who are a...

“Family Jewels” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Judah, and Brother Gabe Stephens was a fresh look through the biblical lens of what it is to believe in what the Lord says through His word about us and about our brothers. We learned that we are to go up the mountain and be with the Lord in order to get revelation about our identity. Then turn and be empowered to see our brothers according to what th...

When we consider what Moses did for Aaron by exalting him above Moses' own calling and what Jesus did for his disciple, it causes us to wrestle. It causes us to wrestle by bringing to mind all that has been done for us. Like Moses, like Jesus, and like Isaiah, men went up on a high mountain to meet with the Lord, be transformed by him, and they came down with something for us. We began to reflect...

The Body of Christ is building itself up in love here at LCM! We are increasing in transparency, our identity, and sacrificial actions towards one another. Through the relationship between Moses and Aaron, we learned that the highest achievement we can aim for is to elevate our brothers calling above our own. We do this by cultivating an intentional unity with our brothers. Looking to do what is i...
