LCM Sermons

“The Vine Revelations” preached by Pastor Payton reminded us of our great call in the Kingdom of God. Jesus, the true vine, from whom all heavenly authority and nourishment is given, has chosen us to bear fruit. Fruit that will last. This everlasting fruit (from generation to generation) we are called to bear, requires us to face the man in the mirror. Confronting those areas of our lives where we...

Snapshots preached by Pastors Nik, Wade, and Matt encouraged us to rise up and take hold of the staff that has been divinely appointed us. The staff that symbolizes authority, right standing, and the high calling that is ours in Christ Jesus. We learned through the lives of the men of the biblical world as well as through these pastors lives that we must look to the divine appointment that was ori...

We know something church! We know that we are growing closer to our father & he is showing us what our honest state has always been. And we know something else, for we can see his character being formed in us. What is more, is that we know the trials that we are enduring now will result in glorious hope. In this way, we can have hope and confidence as we look back at where have come from AND where...

What a glorious time we are living in! “A Tale of Two Houses” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Judah illustrate the biblical truth that both faith and fight must work together to bring about the transformation required in our lives. Underemphasizing either one of these pivotal principles in the life of a believer leads to a compounding error of increasing ramifications. Instead, we must embrace...

Our father has favored us! He has blessed us! He has done so in marvelous fashion, by opening our eyes to the realities of our true condition both as Sons of God and Sons of men. Whilst holding on firmly to both of these truths, the distance between who he is and who we are is becoming more and more evident. This honest grappling of our sin brings us to the same place as it did David. An honest re...

One of the best things that a believer can experience is coming to grips with just how sinful we are while at the same time growing in our love for the Lord. Too often we smooth over our actual state and walk with the Lord by only embracing the truth that we through Christ have been credited with righteousness. We do this without equally wrestling with the fact that there must be ongoing transform...

LCM, we have been engaged in the conflict of all conflicts from the very beginning. We were promised from the very beginning that we would crush the enemy AND that he would strike our heel. Yet it seems that what sometimes starts as a garden snake can grow into an enormous red dragon. The Lord is calling us to develop tachos, quickness to right action. He is simultaneously working out of us the fe...

True Friend! Preached by Pastor Payton and Pastor Matt, drives at the center of the relationship our good Father desires to have with us and the desire we must have towards him. We learn through the lives of men like Abraham that one of the driving forces behind a true friendship with the Father was based on partnership with him, not performance. Pursuing a true friendship with the Father requires...

Our faithful father has been faithful to us in these dark days. Something about meditating on his character changes us as we engage with him in every circumstance. What is more, is that our faithful God shows himself faithful to faithful men. He chose men like Abraham because he "knew" him, and revealed his plan to him. So shall it be for us as we press on to know him better; He will make us what...

Pastor Judah, Pastor Payton, and Justin Treaster deliver a soul stirring word entitled “Face the Fact”. Where we are learning to grip with one hand the realities of our true state, the fickle faithlessness we often find ourselves in and grasping with the other hand the promises of God and the transformation that he will bring about in our lives. We can see this illustrated through the lives of men...

The Lord is being good to us in this day and time church. Difficulties and trials have now become our vehicle into transformation. We can now see these situations for what they are. They are the proving grounds by which our faith is found genuine. We are learning to welcome the testing by which suffering produces Christ in us.

What a beautiful thing the Lord is doing in our midst! “The Devastation of a Nation” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade, walk us through the biblically mature view of how we are to respond during the devastation. Through the lives of men of God like Moses, Habakkuk, and Jeremiah who chose to be joyful, to rejoice, to praise the name of the Lord while standing inside difficulty, we are called...

Powerful. Cutting. Effective. This message shared by Pastor Payton Parsons accomplishes its stated intent. Pastor sheds light on just how much we need the Lord. When we engage with the word, he shows us our great need, but it's not until we focus on his holiness do we see just how desperate we are for him to change us. In this we have confidence because if we allow him to undo us now, we know that...

When Zacheus heard the Messiah was coming his way, he climbed up into a sycamore-fig tree and immediately came down at the Lord's command. We had no idea before this message preached by Pastors Matthew Perot and Wade Sutherland just how analogous that is to the way the Lord is perfecting us. Jesus's word's cut Zacheus to the heart and produced immediate actions towards righteous living. That is th...

We are being stirred here at LCM! In view of the mercy of God, we ask that you listen to this message as many times as it takes to understand the weighty revelation that has been laid out before us. What we have just experienced and will continue to experience is the gripping reality that nothing we do before or after Christ will go unnoticed before the one to whom we must give an account. All our...

We are grappling, straining with, and wrestling with the truth of God's word. That wrestling is having an impact on our very core, in a way changes how we walk. The same happened to Paul as he had an encounter with the resurrected, living word of God on the road to Damascus. This encounter produced a readiness in him that rendered him always ready for every situation. There is a readiness that is...

“Piercing Effect” delivered by Pastors Matt and Wade leads us back to a biblically sound truth that is essential for all believers. To experience ongoing daily transformation in our lives it must come from experiencing ongoing daily piercing of God’s word in our lives. Which then lead us to be well-positioned to be empowered and walk in the purposes of our great King. This is the “Piercing Effect”...

Don't wait! That is what the spirit is saying to this church. Elder Eric admonished the body with this timely word. Timely because we don't have time to waste. We don't have time to waste on the things that keep us starved of the daily bread from doing his will. What we do have is a choice to make the most of the days to come. We will open the books, stand on the revelation, speak the very words o...

“Ain’t Nothing like the Real Thing” delivered by Pastor Nik and Pastor Wade gave a clarion call with direction on what is means to really set the table for others. Through an in-depth view of Psalm 23, we engaged with the beautiful progression through each verse as we discovered strong biblical and practical connections that are pertinent for our lives. Our good Shepherd has provided us with every...

We are continuing to embrace and welcome the ongoing transformation our Father is bringing us through! In this sermon entitled “The Gifting of Sifting” by Pastor Wade and Brother Justin Linton, we are called to see the sifting in our lives as a gift from our good Father. Through the sifting, we are brought to a place of humility, testing, and hunger so that we can see it is only through him we can...

What a beautiful season we are walking through as a body! Our faithful King is bringing us to a place of ever increasing and ongoing transformation and glory! “Old Provision” preached by Pastor Judah and brother Justin Treaster was a beautiful illustration of an age-old kingdom truth. Through the examination of scripture, and passages like 1 John 2, we learned that the old commands given to us liv...

We are being prepared LCM. Our father is lining up our battles just as he did for Israel in order to get us ready for what is to come. He's assuring us of who we are while simultaneously trimming away from us that which does not belong. In this sermon titled "Cutting Weight", brothers Justin Linton and Abimbola Daramola examine the ways our good father is causing us to become just what he is. By j...

Today we learned something that was amazing, that we have everything that we need in Christ. An equally interesting revelation is that right alongside that, we have other things in our lives that we do not need. Pastor Matthew and Elder Eric, encourage us in this sermon entitled “Siting Sets The Table” by revealing that the sifting process is drawing out what God wants to change, and it is how we...

At an unprecedented time in our body, when the Lord is telling us to build up the body in amazing ways, we are being ample encouragement as to how we carry this out. We were blessed by Pastor Nick Slaughter and his wife Lyndie of the Arising Church, some of the first disciples of this church, as they share with us the realities of what it means to minister. Our ministry is both to God AND to man,...

2022 is here and we are moving with full steam ahead! Coming off our New Year’s Eve service, we have heard the marching orders from our King and are excited for the exponential growth that is on the horizon for our body. In this sermon entitled “Draw Up the Battle Lines”, Pastors Nik, Judah, and Wade encourage us through the scriptures for what lies ahead and the personal responsibility we have to...
