LCM Sermons

“Shouldering the Load” preached by Pastor Payton, Pastor Wade, and Pastor Matt stirred and spurred us onto a greater revelation of the city of Shechem. We learned that Shechem is not just a city but is rich with life, biblical revelation, and encounters that shaped the history of the nation of Israel. Men like Abraham, Isaac, and Joshua all had experiences with the God of Israel at Shechem. As sai...

How good it is to be reminded of our first love! We're talking about the first time we came to know him. We were sure that we were not perfected, but at the same time were receiving the promise of what he would do with us if we submitted our entire lives to him. Pastor Nik, Brother Adam Corra, and Pastor Matt remind us of this concept in this message entitled "Veni, Vidi, Vici". In this sermon, we...

Elder Eric, Pastor Judah, and Pastor Wade bring a refreshing view to the subject of salvation being a journey and the ever-growing awareness that there are still things in our lives that need to be worked out in walk with the Lord. In this sermon entitled “Eureka, I found it!”, they addressed the misconception in the Christian faith that because we once met the Lord at an altar, we now no longer n...

In the last 30 days, the Lord has been transforming what we define as Holy and Masculine. We have talked about dominion, cultivation, saviors, sages, and glory bearers, being admonished to become like our God. Because we have been working to put these things into practice, we can know for sure that he is multiplying our efforts. In this sermon entitled " You Are", Pastor Matthew Perot and brother...

“Glory Rolls Downhill” preached by Pastor Wade, Pastor Nik, and Pastor Payton walked us through a beautiful understanding of what it means to be a glory bearer. We are made in the image of God and are called to be his glory bearers. Glory from the Father that flows downhill into his right order of shalom. Unfortunately, there are other competing interest in our lives and we are being shown the way...

In this reflection on Sunday's message entitled "You're Not Special". the brothers dig deeper into the concept of what makes a sage. A sage is one who has experienced God's dominion, cultivation, and salvation over multiple seasons in his life. This experience is what moves him to respond to God's authority & this response leads us to transfer the impact of that revelation adequately. This is how...

“You Are Not Special” preached by Elder Eric, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade is a timely message for our body and our current day. We have been told for most of our lives that we were special because of our physical traits, intellect, or the hardships we have faced. The biblical reality is none of these things actually make us special and the word of God makes this clear. Our pastors walk us through...

As we continue to discuss how the ideal biblical man functions, an essential part of the discussion is the "savior" complex that we all have. God has deposited inside each of us the desire to save that which is under our care. But without the essential foundation of dominion and cultivation being appropriately applied, this Godly attribute becomes a sort of pseudo-savior, a counterfeit, effeminate...

Pastor Judah, Pastor Payton, and Pastor Wade preached a fantastic sermon entitled ‘Maximizing Your Manhood”, where we learned the true intent of cultivation and the process by which our good Father works into us what is good and pleasing to him. Through desert like circumstances and difficulty, hindrances, idolatry, and competing interests are removed and we are brought into the full manhood of Ch...

Jesus was THE man! He is the example that we look to in order to determine what it is to be a "Biblically Adherent Male". Jesus knew what was in his dominion and he had God's heart for everything in his care. We learn in this sermon entitled "Biblically Adherent Male" to reflect the character and dominion that he displays. Like Jesus, we're not asking permission to be dominators of what's in our f...

Today, we looked into a much-needed biblical truth that in our present day has been water down, neutered, and downright misunderstood. “Masculine Holiness” preached by Pastor Wade and Pastor Payton expound on the 5 traits that great men of God display in their actions. King Jesus who is the perfect model of these things, calls us to walk as he did. Starting first with the man of the home and then...

Reflecting on the process by which God makes men into righteous oaks, we look to the Father of the faith, Abraham. Abraham was a mighty righteous oak who faithfully followed the Lord throughout the cycles of growth in his life. In him, we see the old military adage exemplified "Semper Fidelis, Semper Gumby" or "Always Faithful, Always Flexible". From him, we learn to glory in the Lord's ability to...

What a fantastic word delivered by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah entitled “Husbandry”. We were brought through the biblical lens of the process by which God cultivates man. In this call to husbandry, we must develop the areas that the Lord has highlighted to us while trusting him to makes things grow. This is because we are in a covenantal relationship with our good Father that is meant to produce l...

In this message preached by brothers Justin Treaster and Adam Corra, we continue with a theme of growing in an appreciation of the agricultural background that every Israeli would have related to the promises in the Tanakh. To you and me here in America, there is not much unique about fruit production, but to a Jew, fruit being produced in Israel is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. Throughout the...

“Training to Reproduce” preached by Pastor Payton, Pastor Matt, and Pastor Wade encouraged and spurred us on to what the original mandate to mankind was, to be fruitful and increase in number. The process and mechanism for this to take place requires there to be plowing, planting, growing, and harvesting that occurs in a cyclical pattern. We must take an honest assessment of our lives to know wher...

Coming off an amazing Sunday where we talked about the continuous cultivation that we are performing as international harvesters, Pastor Matt & Pastor Nik call us up higher to the warrior status we have been given. In this sermon entitled "Trained to Triumph", we received the revelation that we are warriors, and we are continually being made into warriors through battle. It's through the journey t...

Elder Eric and Pastor Judah delivered this fantastic sermon this morning entitled “International Harvesters”. We are constantly faced with the reality of the death that must take place in us in order for resurrection life to spring forth. This death is not to be understood as something that happened a long time ago at the cross nor should resurrection be looked at as solely a future event. Rather...

As the sun is setting in one place, it rises in another. How much more so with our lives? As there is death in one area, resurrection life springs up from that very same place. It is the present cruxificion that actually allows for something better to be built back in its place. Because of this, we are learning more and more about how to welcome and walk in the death to resurrection life cycle. Th...

Pastor Matt and Pastor Wade deliver a powerful sermon entitled “Do You Believe?”. In this sermon, we learned that the process of redemption is not a one time act done in the past, nor is the process of resurrection a one time act done in the future. In the kingdom, both redemption and resurrection are needed daily. As we clinch with the daily death that must take place inside of us, we find his re...

You know, if we take some of the Apostle Paul's assertions about attaining the power of the resurrection & his abilities to reflect Christ to others at face value, it may seem as if he is uncertain about the final outcome. All too often, we could be tempted to reflect the same "seeming" uncertainty in our lives. But Pastors Wade Sutherland and Nik Arezina crush this uncertainty with this powerful...

“M.I.A” preached by Elder Eric and Pastor Payton admonished us to take on the personal responsibility to walk in the resurrection life that is found in Jesus. It is not enough for us to know that Jesus resurrected from the dead, but we are called to live in light of the resurrection. Experiencing his resurrection power daily at work in us through the laying down of our lives and taking steps of fa...

During a time when we reflect on the crucifixion of our Lord and contemplate it, brothers Carlos Rueda and Justin Treaster share this amazing word. By looking into Jesus's life & inserting ourselves into the story, we begin to reflect on his divinely submissive character in a way that must change us. His willingness to endure death continuously brings us life and shows us how we must follow. The b...

What a beautiful time we are living in. “Trail to Triumph” preached by Pastor Nik Arežina walked us through a beautiful symbolic understanding of Palm Sunday. As the body of Christ, we all have the personal responsibility to lay down our cloaks to make a level path for Messiah and the generations that come after us. The branches and cloaks we are laying down are the symbolic sign that we have the...

Our good father is being good to his church! He is leveling out our lives and building in us the highway of holiness that we may walk in! Valleys are being raised up, mountains are being laid low, and rough places are being made smooth! Pastors Matt, Wade, and Nik remind us how and why to have joy in the midst of this process! Because of what we know it is producing not only for us, but also for o...

It is good to be in the house of the Lord! Today we were blessed by the word brought by Elder Eric and Pastor Judah, “A Couple of Ordinary Asses”. In this sermon, we learned through the prophetic book of Zechariah the word of the Lord not only to the house of Israel but also to us here at LCM. Our great King is invested in the generations beyond us. He does this by removing the idolatry, worldly t...
